My husband and I had a great table and watched the sunset from our seat! We had the most adorable server, who was very attentive and made recommendations that turned out great. We enjoyed everything we ate and loved that it was BYOB. It has a nice vibe, wonderful staff and the food was delicious!! Thank you

The restaurant needs to do something about the advertising. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, we have lived in the area for 4 yrs and never heard about the Wickie Room. Would highly recommend this restaurant, btw the swordfish appetizer was outstanding..

Had a wonderful dining experience at The Poached Pair Bistro in Point Pleasant! Everything was absolutely exquisite, from the food to the service. My wife ordered the filet mignon, which was outstanding, I had the lobster, which was excellent, and my son had the lamb shanks, which he absolutely loved. Every dish was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the entire experience made for a fantastic evening with family. It's always a pleasure when a restaurant gets everything right. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning. Love the fact it was a BYOB cause it wasn't exactly cheap.

    Food and setting were wonderful! Tuna wonton app to start. Then chicken Milanese and lobster roll for dinner. The chicken was tender and well presented. This dish can be dry if over cooked but was perfect. Lobster roll was VERY very lightly dressed, filled with large chunks of lobster. Was terrific. Service was well paced. It’s BYO which is nice. Prices were consistent with those you would find at a very good restaurant on LBI. We’ll be back!
