The food was great. Fried calamari was crispy and tender. Very flavorful. Crispy octopus was cooked perfectly. It was crispy on the outside and very tender inside. I've never had octopus cooked this way and it was fabulous! It was served on a salad and the heat of the octopus wilted the greens. The dressing was some sort of citrus but I didn't care for it very much. Tuna tartar was fantastic. Great flavor. It was tossed with cubed avocado so the mushed avocado made it looked unappetizing but it tasted good. Nice julienned cucumbers and seaweed salad accompanied the tuna tartar. Avocado boats were stuffed with imitation crab and spicy maya topped it off. It was okay. I felt like I was eating sushi without the rice. Linguine with clams was amazing. Pasta and clams cooked perfectly. Cheese pizza was very delicious. It had a hint of garlic which made it next level!!! Get the pizza! Cappuccino was decent. The brookie dessert was half brownie and half cookie. Very tasty. Service didn't start off great. No one helped us until 15 minutes in. When we finally got a server he was very good. The menu has Asian food and American. So there's something for everybody if you like the two cuisines. We stopped in on a whim and I'm very glad we did. Ambiance is very modern and chic. I would return.
We ordered: 2 schnitzels ($22), with fries ($9), potato pancakes ($16), and a Margarita pizza ($16). All were good - no complaints... well, maybe the fries were iffy. Dining room was empty at 3:50pm, and freezing on a weekend in October. Service was good, place is clean, and they have an open kitchen with a very happy staff. We couldn't place this restaurant in terms of menu and style. It was rather eclectic, and then, boom! A whole page of sushi.
Was passing through for work and swung by to grab a bite before heading home. Unassuming from the outside, but a nicely decorated inside. I sat at the bar and got solid, albeit a touch slow, service. Had to wait a while to order after I wasn't ready right away, and again for the check, but the bar tender was solo so definitely will extend some grab. I got the sweet potato and volcano rolls and they were both really good. Fresh, flavorful. Thought the price was good too for the quality. Overall a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again!
We returned to B2 Bistro after several years and were pleased that everything seemed to be as good or better than our previous visit. The cocktails were consistently better. The entrees were also very good. The "Pig" dish was added to the menu and delicious. The room is comfortable and the service is attentive.
I had forgotten about B2. Came here for an alfresco dinner. Meal was good and so was the service. I thought for some reason they had acquired a liquor license and didn't bring my own wine. Against my better judgement, I ordered their NJ wine ( I generally don't like them). Low and behold, I was right. Stick to the food and bring your own wine. Still a good spot in Red Bank
