Planning the Perfect Day in Sea Girt this Spring


The weather is warming up, and so is Sea Girt! If you are from a neighboring town and haven’t spent much time here or if you’re visiting from out of town, you might not know about all of the great things to do in Sea Girt NJ. Here is a quick list of things you can head to for the perfect day in Sea Girt brought to you by your friends at Fratellos’s Restaurant and Lounge!

Visit the Sea Girt Lighthouse

The Sea Girt Lighthouse is located on Beacon and Ocean Ave. This beautiful lighthouse sits along the coast in our quiet town. In 1921, the Sea Girt lighthouse was actually the first of the shore lighthouses to use a fog radio signal. The lighthouse remained operational until the 1950s. It was renovated in the 1980s and has been preserved and maintained for its historic beauty ever since.

Shop ‘Til you Drop

One of the best places for non-stop shopping in Sea Girt is the Brook 35 & West shopping center. Stores like Coach, Bath & Body Works and Williams Sonoma will keep you busy for hours! We are also home to a great deal of local shops including R.J. Furlong & Co. and Weston Gallery. Whether you go big or go local, you can easily spend all afternoon browsing and shopping in Sea Girt.

Have a Drink

One of the great things about this small coastal town is that there are plenty of places to unwind, have a good drink and enjoy the local crowd. With plenty of taverns and pubs along the coast in Sea Girt, after a day of shopping you will not be short a place to sit down and relax for a pre-dinner drink. Of course we recommend a stop at Fratello’s. We have a wide selection of beer, wine and cocktails.

Enjoy a Delicious Dinner

For dinner, we know just the right place! Of course, we might be a little biased. On our dinner menu, we are proud to offer a variety of satisfying appetizers, salads and entrees to please any palette. Enjoy oysters, garlic shrimp or crab cakes (just to name a few) off our appetizer selections. Our entrée selections include pasta, chicken, seafood, veal and steak. Whatever your choice, you will be more than satisfied!

So, this spring you will have plenty to do in Sea Girt. Start your day off at the lighthouse, spend the afternoon shopping, then unwind with a pre-dinner drink and finish the day with a great meal (don’t forget dessert!) at Fratello’s!

Spring, Parties, & More...


There is something about spring that not only means warmer weather and the appearance of leaves coming back to the trees. If you haven’t noticed already, spring also seems to be the season for gatherings! Whether it’s a family gathering for a holiday, a wedding celebration, or a shower to celebrate an upcoming wedding or new baby, spring is busy.

At Fratello’s Restaurant in Sea Girt we not only hear about all of the special occasions in spring, we can help you out as well. Did you know that Fratello’s can host your private party? If you have a family gathering coming up, a shower, a rehearsal dinner or a special birthday or anniversary, Fratello’s has the perfect space (and the perfect menu) for your special event.

If you are looking to host an event, here are some special event menu options that are just right:

Fixed Menu

Our fixed menu options are perfect for the host who has a good idea of what the guests will like or what he or she would like to see served. With some delicious choices like Golden Calamari for an appetizer and Sea Bass Oreganata as an entrée, this menu can’t go wrong.

Evening Buffet Menu

Our evening buffet can transform any special occasion into a truly special night. Menu options include Stuffed Mushrooms and Shrimp Cocktail to start followed by a Filet Mignon Carving Station and Shrimp & Scallop Fra Diavlo for the main course.

Birthday Party Menu

If that did not make you hungry enough, we also offer a special birthday party menu. Choose from a variety of appetizers including Artichoke Hearts and Calamari. Main course options include Shrimp in a White Wine Sauce as well as Veal Saltimbocca.

Rehearsal Dinner Menu

If you are planning a rehearsal dinner for a family member or for your own upcoming wedding, our special rehearsal dinner menu is the perfect choice. Appetizers include Stuffed Mushrooms and Eggplant Rollentini. Shrimp Scampi and a Double Cut Pork Chop are just two of the great entree selections to choose from this menu.
