MOST ROMANTIC RESTAURANTS IN JERSEY

for couples on Valentine’s Day – 

Each Town’s Top of the List for Romantic Dining

by Tara Jean McDonald Bonanno

One of the most notable romantic dining experiences at the Jersey Shore, Scarborough Fair, has been mentioned in more“best of” lists than any other restaurant in the area for romantic dining. Not only do they decorate exquisitely for the holidays, but they have a unique private alcove seating along their winding staircase. The lighting is ideal, and each table is nestled beside a large window with ambient lighting. The well-loved family-owned restaurant has been serving delicious food for over 40 years, so if you want to book a romantic evening, be sure to book in advance.
