Is there anything better than summertime in New Jersey?  One of our favorite summer pastimes is docking up the boat at a waterfront restaurant to grab a bite and a cold drink after a day on the water.  Our list* of restaurants will welcome you by either land or sea. Choose your destination and simply kick back, relax and take in the glorious surroundings of the Jersey waters!
