Lincroft Inn

Had dinner with spouse and another couple Saturday evening, (7/23/2013).  The waiter was excellent, although he was continually embarrassed by constantly telling us that they were out of the items we were ordering, both from the bar and the dining room menu.  The duck was overcooked and dry, the salmon was overcooked and dry, the cod special was fine as was the rigatoni.  The dessert menu also contained many items not available.  When we opened our take home boxes, we discovered that they were incorrectly marked and did not contain the correct items...as a matter of fact, we never even got the leftover duck!!!!  

They need Chef Robert Irvine and Restaurant Impossible immediately!!!!!

Won't be going back anytime soon!!!

I really enjoy the old bar area of the Lincroft Inn.  It dates back to the beginning of time and it sure feels like it.  You can usually find a seat at the bar and the bartenders treat you pretty well.   The pub fare is pretty good as well.

There is also the second part of the Lincroft Inn which I've never really understood --- its a very nice restaurant that is separated from the bar area.  You would honestly swear you are in too different buildings because there is nothing in common between the bar and the restaurant. (Although you can apparently order from the restaurant menu at the bar as well -- I've never done this though).    I've only eaten at the restaurant once, it was year's ago.  I remember the food being good, but nothing overly spectacular.

If you are looking for a relatively quiet bar, I do recommend the Lincroft Inn.   Its certainly worth a visit.

Dated decor, dated menu. Shame...
