Court Jester - Matawan

We just stopped for drinks. I was in the freehold location years ago, but never here in jail. the atmosphere was put under pressure, but beautiful. the environment is very interesting and picturesque. the bartender and waitress were excellent! I would have given a 5th star if the air conditioning were cooler.

The first time in this restaurant will come back. I had the grilled tuna salad, w/o the glazed walnuts (allergics). Delicious. The staff was very attentive.

Really torn on this review. Everything was great until I ordered a Lagunitas IPA. It tasted off and thought I was misheard and got the wrong beer. I drank just about 1/4 of the beer before I asked a second bartender to pour just a sample to see if it was the right beer. He came back with the sample and it still tasted funky/not right. I mentioned how the beer tasted like it had turned or was bad. He brought me a second glass and tossed the first one (3/4 full) and it still was just wrong. I don't like to be a pain so I just drank that and left it at that. Immediately after, we went to the liquor store down the strip, bought some bottled Lagunitas IPA, went home and tried it. The beer at the restaurant was either turned/bad or they had the lines crossed because it tasted nothing like the bottle at home. Still going for four stars because the owner/manager was super nice (I didn't bring up the beer to him, was just making small talk), the atmosphere is really eclectic, and the food was perfectly fine. Will definitely be back but may just order bottles/cans or hard liquor.

The server made the experience exceptional. Food was great and the atmosphere was typical bar atmosphere. We do love this place.

Excellent food. Loved the atmosphere. They offer beyond burgers which brought us in and they were cooked perfectly. A lot of times places may offer the meat alternatives but don?t put effort into them. This is not the case here. They nailed it. Absolutely would happily eat here again.
