Martell's Lobster House

10/10!! Alex (the Event and Banquet Manager) and the whole team at Martell’s Lobster House made our wedding a dream come true 👏🏽 Every detail was perfect. My guests are still raving about the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Service was incredible throughout the whole event. Alex made the planning process smooth and stress-less. I will always talk about our amazing experience having our WEDDING at Martell’s in Point Pleasant Beach. Thank you Alex and team!! We are forever going to remember the amazing experience!

10/10 food tasted VERY fresh, service was good and atmosphere was family oriented, the later it got the more the crowd changed but still a comfortable relaxed beach vibe

I visited Martel’s yesterday and ordered their Monday special, which included a lobster bucket (with added crab legs and shrimp), a salad, and coconut shrimp. My server, Madison, was absolutely wonderful — very attentive, polite, and checked in regularly. The manager also came by to check on me, so the service itself was excellent.

Unfortunately, the food was a different story. The only substantial item I ate from the seafood bucket was the lobster, along with a couple of crab legs. Shortly after finishing, I began sweating profusely, feeling lightheaded, and had to rush to the bathroom to vomit. When I returned to the table, the sweating was so severe I had to fan myself with the booklet on the table. I immediately informed the manager that the lobster was the only thing I had eaten. He said he would check with the chef and apologized for my experience, taking $15 off the bill. I was considering taking the food home but I couldn't bring myself to because of how sick I felt. So I left everything at the table.

However, the aftereffects have been unbearable. The rest of the day I felt extremely sick, and by the following morning, my symptoms had worsened, with gut inflammation, and continued lightheadedness and something else I'd rather not mention. I’ve never experienced food poisoning before, but this was absolutely awful, and I’m certain it was from the lobster I was served.

While I appreciate the staff’s attentiveness and apology, the fact that I became so ill immediately after eating points to serious concerns about food handling, cooking, or storage practices. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

Nick C. and the hostess were both awesome. The food did not disappoint between the delicious, fancy bread to the fresh delicious seafood. I highly recommend!

For my gluten free friends, their menu is clearly labeled and they have gluten free pasta options ☺️

We had an amazing lunch at Martell’s! We were greeted by a fantastic hostess, Santina and Ally, and had amazing bar service by Adam and Erin. Our food came out hot, super fresh, and above our expectations! I highly recommended the Jake’s Snow Crab Legs. They were so sweet and a huge portion for the price. As locals, this is an all around amazing experience for those who live here and those who are visiting!
