Weekly Specials

The Brooklyn Bistro at 1861 Hooper Ave, Toms River, NJ, is featuring a new set of weekly specials from July 10 through July 16. The menu offers a variety of appetizers, pasta dishes, and land and sea entrées. Additionally, the restaurant highlights its availability for catering services and private party room bookings.

Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna

Beautiful sushi-grade ahi, crusted in toasted sesame seeds and seared just long enough so the outside snaps while the center stays cool and ruby-red. Served with a fiery, creamy spicy mayo that cuts right through the richness. Simple. Perfect. Addictive.

$21.00

Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna.

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

A whole wheel of creamy Brie wrapped in golden, flaky puff pastry and baked until it oozes. Paired with bright, sweet-tart raspberry preserves that melt into the cheese. This is the kind of appetizer that disappears in minutes—rich, elegant, and completely irresistible.

$19.00

Baked Brie in Puff Pastry.

$15.00

Homemade Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe

Hand-rolled spaghetti tossed the Roman way: nothing but sharp Pecorino Romano, cracked black pepper, and a little of the starchy pasta water to create that silky, emulsified sauce that clings to every strand. Pure, bold, and deeply satisfying.

$27.00

Homemade Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe.

Double Cut Pork Chop Gianborta

A massive double-cut pork chop seared hard and finished with roasted potatoes, sweet caramelized onions, and spicy cherry peppers swimming in a white-wine garlic pan sauce. Big flavors, big portion, pure comfort with a kick.

$40.00

Veal Ala Bistro.

Salmon en Croûte

Fresh salmon wrapped in buttery puff pastry with a bed of potatoes and seasonal vegetables, then baked until the pastry shatters. Finished with a silky Dijonaise cream that brings just the right amount of tangy heat. Showstopper status.

Salmon en Croûte.

Angus Grass-Fed New York Strip “Au Poivre”

A beautiful grass-fed strip steak crusted in cracked peppercorns, seared hard, and finished with a classic cognac-cream au poivre sauce. Bold, peppery, and deeply beefy. This is steakhouse quality with soul.
