The Café Loren was opened in 1978 and offers fine dining in an atmosphere of casual seashore elegance. For four decades our menu has kept pace with American culinary trends. Over the years our heavy French influence has given way to American cuisine, a happy hybrid of styles, methods and ingredients from around the globe. Our menu can best be described as "American Coastal Cuisine". American because of our diverse preparations and Coastal because of our emphasis on seafood. But meat lovers have not been forgotten. We offer superbly prepared lamb, veal, beef and pork.
“Place is great!! From the hostess - very sweet and personable. To our server Amy, who made our experience amazing. Great suggestions, felt like we knew her for some time. The food was great, the flavor combos were different and unique. I will say a few dishes were lacking a little salt for our liking, but delicious none the less. Desserts we had two amazing gluten free desserts and a macadamia type pie. The pie I got was not that great compared to the others. Again, just my opinion. But overall, we will definitely be back!! Love love love the food combos, very unique and great!”
“First time here as a local. PHENOMENAL. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Caesar salad was wonderful and lemony. The halibut was cooked perfectly, the short rib was so different and felt like comfort food, and the dessert was out of this world. Some kind of chocolate mouse with Oreo and ice cream. The service was truly impeccable. Thank you for a great night out. We will be back!”
“High quality, unmatched, delicious food awaits your palate at Cafe Loren. The staff is incredibly welcoming and hyper focused on the quality of your dining experience. They were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable to my girlfriends gluten free needs without the compromise of flavor All servers are exceptionally delightful to the point where you can just tell this is a great work-place environment. I'd recommend you try something new every time you're here being every dish we've had has been some of the finest dining in New Jersey. This is the type of place I'd wait in line for if need be.”
“Great service, superb food, ceaser salad one best I've had, duck breast, veal dishes were done perfectly. Our servers were right on mark, it was great evening, they have nice outdoor seating area. Had a great evening!”
“Fantastic restaurant. Impeccable service. Great BYOB opportunity for wine lovers. One of the few restaurants were the desserts match the quality of the food. One strong critique/recommendation… I love a good sear/crust on my proteins and on food in general, however the chef needs to look at the flavor the grill is imparting. For us the octopus and filet both had a really strong bitter burnt flavor. I’ve read other reviews that echo this same issue. But a wonderful dinner overall.”
