The owners, the rooms, the restaurant, the walk to the beach and restaurants ALL make this place THE BEST in Pt. Pleasant! We stayed over 10 times last summer and were NEVER disappointed! The waiter knew us by first name and was always so polite during our stay.
Nice small dining room. The restaurant is BYOB. My wife and I had the lump crab cake and fusilli a la vodka. Both dishes were very good. The rolls offered with dinner were also good. The service not so good. After our entrees were served we did not see the waiter. He never stopped by the table to see if we needed anything nor to refill our water glasses. When the bill came I was charged the wrong price for the chicken extra I had with my entree.
On another sunny Sunday the Husband and I took a trip down to the lovely Jersey Shore for yet another delicious and fulfilling brunch buffet.
With its rich pink color against the bright sky, The Grenville Hotel proudly stood out among the other Victorian houses along the main strip. We were quickly greeted and sat at a table of our choosing, close to the edge of the porch overlooking the front yard.
Our server, Bailey, was absolutely wonderful and extremely friendly, as was everyone we encountered while dining here. Perhaps it's the crisp morning air and slight breeze or the scent of the ocean a block away that puts everyone in a great mood.
I adored the sweet decor inside the old building, with white columns along one side of the dining room and old, creaky wooden floors. The buffet consisted of your usual breakfast breads, scrambled eggs, french toast/waffles/pancakes, sausage & bacon, potatoes, as well as cheeses, salads, a chicken dish, fish, veggies and your omelet station at the end. Oh and let's not forget a bunch of different dessert options with a chocolate fountain too! In keeping true to the Husband's gluten free preference, we even brought our own bread to toast.
Considering the beautiful area, the price was perfect at $17.99 for adults ($14.99 for children). If anything, The Grenville is a charming piece of history and great place to stop in and grab a bite, whether on your way to the beach in the morning, going for a drive in the afternoon or simply just because.
PS: Don't forget you can also book rooms for an overnight stay - just remember to BYOB!
The hotel was nice, restaurant was very good. The beach was stunning. We felt some inconveniences from the staff and policies. Check In was not until 3pm and they would not give us beach passes prior. Same thing for check out at 11 am. We could not use the passes for the day. We had to travel to purchase passes a few blocks away. Also, there were two separate extra charges on our restaurant check. Be sure to double check your bill. Over all it was a nice experience.
Harry and Maureen are the amazing hosts at the Grenville Hotel and Resturaunt. The inn is a lovely 1890’s Victorian. The rooms are very comfortable. Beach chairs, towels and badges are included. The pristine beach is right down the street. Continental Breakfast is included but the Sunday brunch is amazing! We also always eat dinner on the expansive front porch. The resturaunt has something for everyone. Our family had delicious sea bass, chicken, spinach salad and an incredible crab avocado tower. We love this place!
