Last week we met our friends for dinner at Blend on Main in Manasquan. We had reservations for 5:45 p.m. and found the dining room quiet after the summer crowds had departed for the season. Blend has a very nice and spacious dining room. There is also outdoor dining available for those for prefer dining al fresco. Blend also is BYOB, which is a very nice feature.

We perused the regular menu and I found several items which caught my eye. Wednesday is Lobster Palooza Night. They offered a special lobster dinner for $24, which included a whole 1.25 pound lobster, corn, red bliss potatoes served with drawn butter and lemon. To go along with the special, Blend had special appetizers of lobster bisque and lobster salad. Special lobster entrees included a lobster tail dinner, lobster risotto and lobster mac n cheese.


Their regular menu had an assortment of fish entrees such as tuna, halibut and scallops to name a few. Non fish eaters could select from chicken, steaks or a Berkshire pork chop.

Our group preferred the pre-fixe dinner which came with a starter, entree and dessert. The menu included a pasta dish which would be the chef selection of the day, Amish chicken, dinner salad, char grilled pork chop or a blend Kobe burger.

I selected the pasta of the day which appeared to be short hand rolled bucatini style pasta. The pasta had a  delicious red tomato sauce with capers and chucks on fresh tuna. My husband and our friends selected the char grilled pork chop. During dinner Chef Lou stopped by our table and our friend complimented the chef on the pork chop. Chef Lou explained the preparation process for the pork chop which was its first brined, then smoked, next cooked sous vide and finally grilled for a char on the exterior. The pork chop was moist and flavorful. We completed our meal two 
crème brulees and two flour-less chocolate cakes. 

Dinner was excellent and our server was very courteous and attentive.
