We had dinner there during the week in August. Truly beautiful place to have dinner. We had a few specials which were delicious and very fresh. Yes, it isn't cheap (as referenced in other reviews), but it's the Jersey shore during summer...

It was drink it dry nite at white brier a big sprawling bar/club/restaurant. Soba little daunted. When we showed up with our kids. But the place is spread out and the staff was ver friendly and accommodating. Make this place a stop. When on the island.

We went on a Friday evening, so I expected the place to be busy. However, when all the tables around us got our food way ahead of us (they were paying their bill and we hadn't gotten our food), I asked about ours. Response from our server was "Well, I put in the orders when you gave them to me."... More

This bar has a vibrant happy hour scene if you are looking for the 21-30 crowd, this is the place to be. on the weekends it gets packed so expect to find yourself in the mix of big crowds.

The place was nice. The food was decent, but way overpriced. The waitress we had was nice and fairly attentive. Everything was going pretty well but when someone from our party went up to the back bartender to ask for change for two twenties so that we could give a tip, he handed her back the twenties and rudely told...

Husband said the steamers we get back home are better than the ones he had at this seashore restaurant. His Mom had the crab cakes. She liked them but said they were bready inside. I didn't order them because I'm part Marylander and I'm very particular about my crab. I had the Whitebrier salad which was very good and very... More

Unless you are familiar with the Whitebrier, it can be confusing and they don't really offer to let you know that instead of waiting an hour for seating in the busy summer season, that it is first come first serve if you go to the outside part named the Octopus Garden. We ordered a pitcher of red sangria for 20.00.... More

New Manager this year, service is terrific. As it was a Weekend and the Restaurant and Bars were packed. Food and service was exceptional. My usual Veal Whitebrier was better than ever. 3rd time here this year and always pleased. Prices were well in the ballpark for quality Veal. My wife love Sushi and the East meets West was perfect.... More

When dinning at these prices ($30 entrees) , I expected a nice presentation of delicious food with individual sides that compliment each entree. Instead every meal comes with the same sides; an ice cream scoop of wild rice and a medley of veggies. Dinner for a family of four cost $124. However, the wait staff was quite pleasant!

We’ve been going to the Whitebriar specifically the Octopus’ Garden for quite a few years now. The Whitebriar is made up of three sections. Mermaid Café is the bar area and as one of the reviewers indicated the bar rocks on the right night. The crowd is young and attractive. Friday’s and Saturday nights are best – the place can... More
