Fantastic French restaurant tucked away in Asbury Park. One of our go-to places when visiting the area. Outstanding service and a great atmosphere to relax with colleagues, family, and friends. Outstanding raw oysters from Prince Edward Island in Canada. The tiger shrimp were fresh and meaty with a nice cocktail sauce and lemon. The Madame Smith burger had a thick ground brisket patty and was accompanied by a pile of hand cut fries. Delicious comfort food! The brandade croquettes had a thin crispy outer shell and a nice warm fish interior. Accompanied by a creamy/tart sauce. The fromage du jour was a selection of four different cheeses that complemented their nice French bread. Special thanks to Phil for sharing his knowledge and recommendations about the food and drinks, and for helping our large group out for a great dinner! Thanks to Maria for her conscientiousness and help with the food delivery and table clearing.

The service made this place an unforgettable gem ! Our waitress knew what to recommend, had a backstory behind each dish and a pairing to go with! I was very impressed with their cocktails, mussels and the french onion soup! Didn’t get the hype of the escargots here, had better . But the service made us want to make this a regular date night spot !!

The service truly made this place unforgettable! Our server knew exactly what to suggest, sharing a little story for each dish along with perfect pairings. I was thoroughly impressed with their cocktails, mussels, and the French onion soup. The escargots didn’t wow me as much, as I’ve had nicer versions elsewhere, yet the outstanding service made us want to turn this into our regular date-night spot!

I took my four-year-old daughter to Pascal & Sabine, knowing it’s a high-end restaurant, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous about how it might go. She’s very respectful, but I wasn’t sure how the staff would feel about having a young child there. From the moment we sat down, everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. Our waitress was beyond friendly, and even other staff members stopped by our table to say hello and compliment her—it truly made the evening special. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the entire experience was flawless. We had such a wonderful evening. No complaints at all—can’t wait to go back

had an absolutely wonderful experience here on a date! first off, i was really enjoying listening to the dj music walking up to the restaurant but i didn’t know it was pascal and sabine playing it until we got right in front which was a pleasant surprise. quite fortunate that we came on a friday lol. the interior is beautiful and very romantic!! waiter was very helpful with our questions about the menu and the bread here is GREAT let me just say. started with the garlic cream soup and this was a bit disappointing as it tasted like a slightly savory thicker milk, maybe it was supposed to taste exactly like heated milk idk. but we enjoyed it i guess 3.5/5. i got the coq au vin, chicken was perfectly tender and the mashed potatoes were absolutely divine, i love a ton of butter with my mashed potatoes so i was very happy to taste that they definitely did not go light on the butter. shallots were good too, but i think i just didn’t prefer the winey flavor of the chicken. people who enjoy wine must like this though! bf got the mr smith burger. BEST BURGER IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE wow i was not expecting this!! the bun was so SO SO soft, it felt like cotton candy. the burger itself was so flavorful and juicy even though it was ordered medium, but it just exploded in my mouth. phenomenal!! fries were good too but we had to ask for condiments. i will DEFINITELY be back to try the mrs smith burger.

We'll be returning again this Monday for our anniversary. This is our go to never fail celebration place. Steak Tartare & Moule Frites for the hubby, french onion and pot de creme changing up the entree!~ The wines are always delectable, the service impeccable, the atmosphere intimate and romantic. We always recommend this place to anyone looking for a dining EXPERIENCE!

We went to Pascal & Sabine to celebrate our anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. This restaurant has been one of our longtime favorites, and once again, it did not disappoint. Our server, Phil, was excellent — attentive, warm, and genuinely made our evening feel special. We tried a few new dishes along with our usual favorites, and everything was delicious. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, every detail was spot on. Pascal & Sabine continues to be one of the best dining experiences around. Highly recommend for any special occasion or just a great night out
