So I found The Office when I googled local restaurants in Toms River. We were staying for one night on our way to Washington DC. It was a fabulous experience. The food was excellent as were the drinks. Our server Jay didnt miss a beat. Very personable, knew the menu well. We were all very tired from a long day of walking at six flags. Our kids 7&9 were starving so he quickly had their food ready while my hubby and I had our appetizer. The menu had a good variety for everyone but not overwhelming. There is also a sushi bar there and it looked great. Jay engaged with us and our kids and gave us loads of information about things to do in Washington and told us of his experience with his family. Food is what makes restaurants good but its the staff and superb customer services is whats makes them gems. My kids said while we were leaving to give 5 stars to the office and Jay.

Went on Monday night which is Ladies night with 1/2 price on all dinner menu items! The service was good, the grass fed ribeye was melt in your mouth awesome, the steamed zucchini was perfection, the rosemary potatoes were a bit over spiced, but our waitress, Carolyn was the bomb! Third Monday night for 1/2 price dinner, 1st night was great. I had prime rib that almost covered the plate, service was good too! This week I tried the eggplant parmigiana, it was a little overcooked and a tad greasy but still very tasty, the waitress seemed to have an attitude and rushed us as we ordered, sighed every time we asked a question or wanted to change something, like when I asked for no onions in my salad, was a bit disappointed this week but now we know, even when its a little colder we will NOT at the bar for dinner and hopefully get a table in Carolyns section!

Last time. Thats it. Last chance. At best the food has been decent but tonight it was bad enough to bail for good. Been coming here for years and overlooking the woefully lame menu, but getting a Black and Tan instead of a dark and stormy... really? Bartender KINDERGARTEN teaches a dark n stormy. The waitress spent enough time chatting with the other servers that I sat with an empty glass for twenty minutes. Then the bad ham on my sons sandwich... so we complained. I havent complained at a restaurant in TWENTY YEARS... and when I do I expect more than a lip-service $10 comp. That is it for the Office. We will not be back.

Food is OK, not bad but not good. A little but of basic seasoning would go a long way. also a lot of pre-made foods such as frozen fries, instant mashed potatoes, canned veggie. I get that it isnt Michelin level dining but Cmon. staff always very friendly and professional. decor is very old and dark, definitely needs an update. layout is weird too as you have the Asian theme in back and bar and family party our front. Not horrid but not a place in specifically go out of my way for.

I love to go here and eat sushi its the best in town Ive been to every sushi place in the surrounding area and by far hands down they make the best here and the freshest at that... Im not going to lie some of the waitresses there are horrible some of the hostesses are rude but the food is excellent and the other waitresses that know what theyre doing make up for the horrible ones

Amazing food!! Wowza. The appetizers, including oysters Rockefeller, sweet mussels marinara were Awesome! Very fresh. The ribs were over the top. Very meaty and a nice sweet bbq sauce. The scallops were very fresh. The mashed potatoes were quite plain. The fried seafood was overcooked and dried out. Avoid the new England clam chowder...tastes canned. Service by Jim excellent.

Ive been going to the lounge for 10 years now, and absolutely love the place. The entire staff is awesome, the food is amazing (especially the sushi and steaks), huge beer selection and great cocktails. Lots of HD TVs with all of the sports channels, plenty of bar seating and a very relaxed atmosphere. If I could give it more stars I would!

Service was almost non existent. Waitress was too busy talking to a friend at another table to take care of even bringing bread to the table. I even had to flag her away from her friend to get the check, or I may have been still waiting. I wont be back. BTW, the food needed a little help as well. Generally not good.

Im a vegetarian and had a veg burger which was good. Had on two occasions I was there within the last two years. I gave four stars but after factoring in atmosphere they were reduced to three. I was there also 20 years ago and the place is in need of a serious make-over. Its dated, dark and old. Nothing has changed.

We love The Office and we always enjoy the sushi and mussles. We hadnt been in a while and were a little disappointed with the change from dinner rolls to cut bread. My husband and I love the Black and Cherry but you guys ran out of Guinness so that was a little disappointing. Everything else was great though.

Use to work here. Got fired for texting lol. I personally like the food. Dont understand concept of Mexicans making sushi, but its good when it doesnt fall apart when you pick it up with your chop-sticks. So many different types of food all in one place! Guess experience differs from customer to customer

The Sushi is the only thing that really sets this place apart. Theres nothing special on their normal menu and its kind of over priced diner food. Service is usually pretty slow too. Sushi is decent though so if you want to enjoy a drink and have sushi at the same time this the place to go.

We had really good food here. They also serve sushi and have a raw bar. We had clams, sushi, roast beef sandwiches shrimp parm and corned beef sandwiches all were very good. Sandwiches run about 11 dollars each dinners around 20. The wait staff is also very nice and helpful.

This is one of those local gems and a great place to eat. Food is good and service is great however it has be degrating over the years. I do wish it was a little better when it comes to service. Lots of bar selections and the sushi bar is great and has a large selection

The Office has been the go to eatery in Toms River for decades. Always can count on a tasty, well prepared meal. When my children were growing up and we had something to celebrate, we would head for The Office.Still feel that way.

Went for Sushi and they have a few specialty rolls that other places do not make. The sushi was great! Its all prepared in front of you freshly. Staff was friendly and service was great. Looking forward to my next visit.

I went here fir the sushi which was fantastic! Joanne was my server and she was equally amazing in offering playful jokes to entertain. Decor is lacking but, I was here for the sushi anyway. Im strictly rating the food.
