The restaurant sits immediately adjacent to the Allenhurst Beach Club, putting guests just steps from the ocean. The restaurant\u2019s menu changes with the seasons, with ingredients sourced from local fishermen, farms, and trusted producers. Diners can expect a mix of coastal and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, sushi, cocktails, + other dinner options.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-238164\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1.png\" alt=\"the reef 1\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1.png 1080w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/09\/the-reef-1-585x585.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><br \/>\nBy 5PM, the restaurant already had a lively atmosphere. Music from an on-site DJ on the outdoor patio created a club-like energy that transitioned into more of a traditional dinner vibe as the evening went on. The outdoor area features a beautiful round bar surrounded by greenery and plants. Tables are shaded by umbrellas that provide relief from the sun while also featuring a palm-leaf design underneath \u2014 another pretty coastal touch.<\/p>\n<p>Guests who time their visit right can watch the sunset from the restaurant. Between the ocean views, greenery, outdoor bar, + sea breeze, the setting feels a bit like a coastal vacation without leaving New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/newjersey\/best-books-new-jersey-authors-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Guide to New Jersey-Based Books For Your Fall TBR<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inside, large round booths fill the dining area, while stone-colored tones and warm lighting give the space the feel of an upscale seaside resort. There\u2019s also a long bar overlooking the ocean and a sushi bar serving rolls and bites like the Kamikaze Roll, Yellowtail Ponzu, + Salmon Cucumber Reef Handrolls.<\/p>\n<h3>The Menu<\/h3>\n<p>No oceanfront dinner is complete without a few cocktails and delicious food. The drink menu has a wide selection of specialty cocktails, along with non-alcoholic options. In addition to a classic espresso martini, The Reef Club serves its signature Pinche Mule, made with Redemption Bourbon, white peach, mint, lemon, + ginger beer. The bar also has a selection of wine and beer.<\/p>\n<p>For appetizers, the Ceviche Peruano was a standout, featuring fluke, red onion, cilantro, cancha, sweet potato pur\u00e9e, + leche de tigre.
