Fresh | Restaurant & Catering

Fresh restaurant on Bay Avenue in Highlands, New Jersey, represents the essence of farm-to-table dining on the Jersey Shore since 2012. This American restaurant seamlessly combines the highest quality ingredients with innovative cooking techniques to create unforgettable dining experiences. After surviving Hurricane Sandy, which left six and a half feet of water in the original dining room, Fresh reopened in March 2013 and has since expanded to include an upstairs dining room seating 20 guests and a charming patio that accommodates up to 30 diners. The restaurant collaborates closely with local farms and purveyors, supporting the regional food community while presenting mouthwatering dishes that showcase the best of Monmouth County's agricultural bounty. Open Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Fresh welcomes diners to experience their signature approach to American cuisine. The establishment also offers exceptional catering services, with a dedicated team working closely with clients to design custom menus that fit individual tastes, budgets, and event styles. Whether you're seeking an intimate dinner in the main dining room, a festive gathering on the patio, or professional event production for special occasions, Fresh delivers exquisite food, expert coordination, and gracious service that keeps patrons returning year after year.
