Nestled up against the Manasquan River at the Brielle Boat Basin, the Shipwreck Grill is the quintessential Shore eatery. The interior boasts lacquered knotty pine, a plethoric variety of nautical accoutrements, and a bustling bar scene. Just how bustling? Even in the dead of winter, this place packs them in. The superior quality of the cuisine, however, is what sets the restaurant apart. Executive Chef Terry Eleftheriou cooks up an impressive array of seafood offerings as well as other innovative American presentations. Begin with such creative starters as warm goat cheese tart garnished with oven-roasted black olives and grape tomatoes, roasted corn clam chowder, or seasoned cornmeal fried calamari. Entrées include a marvelous pistachio-crusted grouper, pan-roasted Chatham code, and seared halibut. Landlubbers may choose from such sumptuously grilled items as filet mignon, rack of lamb, and veal chop. There is also a pristinely fresh raw bar and an interesting wine list with some very nice selections available by the glass.
