Read Gayot's Review of Restaurant Nicholas

Making the Jersey Shore a fine dining destination is a feat in and of itself, but Nicholas Harary and wife Melissa, who sharpened their skills at Manhattan eateries Jean Georges and Tabla, have done it with elegance and sophistication. The modern, lively dining room boasts impeccable service, while the innovative seasonal fare, dramatically presented, helps vault this impressive spot into our Top 40 for the first time.
