Menu Concept
The Club will specialize in hearty, comforting food, making use of local produce and other foods produced in New Jersey. The goal will be to offer a menu of classic dishes that will stand out for their quality, preparation and presentation. Tableside food preparation will be available on Saturday evenings.
A menu of snacks, appetizers and casual food will be available at the bar. A full service menu will be available in the dining room. The menu will contemplate the mood of the guest. Sometimes the member may be in the mood for a light, casual meal or snack. At other times a full meal may be preferred.
Our Culinary Advisor is Dan Palsi, Executive Chef for 20 years at Manasquan River Golf Club and current owner of 4 restaurants.

the beverage program
A creative craft cocktail program will be developed using all natural ingredients and fresh fruits.
For the Wine Program our aim is to take you, if we can, to somewhere you have not been, and somewhere you will not forget. For that reason, in all categories of wine we avoid the generic and look instead for the special, the unusual. In particular, we seek smaller vineyards and makers that have a story to tell, be that the story of the owners, the land, unique twists in the production, or in the qualities of the wine itself.
