Zagat Names 10 Hottest Jersey Shore Restaurants

Famed dining guide Zagat released this year's list of the 10 Hottest Restaurants on the Jersey Shore AND the top 50 restaurants in NJ.

See what Monmouth and Ocean County eateries made the cut!

Zagat picked four new Mon/Oc restaurants for their list of 10 hottest newcomers to the Jersey Shore: Cross & Orange in Asbury Park, Asbury Festhalle and Biergarten in Asbury Park, Birravino in Red Bank, and Poached Pear Bistro in Point Beach.

As for the top 50 restaurants in the state?

Lots of favorites made the list, like all-star Nicholas in Red Bank (#1), hidden gem Yumi in Sea Bright (#14), Shipwreck Point in Point Beach (#22), Via 45 (#25) in Red Bank, Belford Bistro in Belford (#43), and two-time Restaurant Madness winner Drew's Bayshore Bistro (#49)!

I'd say we have way more than 6 of the top 50, but that's a whole different post.

Congrats to all of these incredible restaurants!
