Not only does Highlands sport a wealth of fantastic restaurants on the water, but it's also home to several excellent BYOBs.
BYOBs are so common in NJ because liquor licenses are so limited. Take advantage of bringing your own spirits to these excellent restaurants in Highlands and the surrounding area:
FRESH BISTRO- High end American fare in a cozy, comfortable setting served by friendly staff. Just a quick walk around the corner and next to a liquor store if you need provisions.
PORCINI - Italian graces the menu at this inviting spot right around the corner.
FRANNY'S – Grab a bottle of vino and your appetite to gorge on Franny’s pizza or their mouthwatering entrees (eggplant parm is our fave) or hearty apps …and don’t forget to save room for dessert. The 10 min walk helps burn off a couple calories!
SEA & SAND INDIAN FUSION: New spot - food is incredible, service is exceptional, we have high hopes for its future. 5 min walk on Bay Ave.
OVER EASY KITCHEN: This trendy spot in an unassuming strip mall in Fairhaven serves dishes as pretty and delicious as the décor. Pick up a bottle of bubbly from the Cellar next door and they’ll provide the OJ! 20 minute drive.
YUMI has a location in Seabright just a 10 min drive, or drive 20 min to their location in Redbank. Pick up some saki or an effervescent lager and head to either popular spot when you’re in the mood for sushi.
PS call Royal Atlantic Wines to deliver your favorite adult beverage before heading out to these spots!
PPS. Be safe - get an UBER if you drink too much!
