From Sushi To Steakhouses, Jersey Has It All

I love when restaurants have the option of outdoor seating. Most of these restaurants had the option even before we "had" to sit out side there for a little bit. It's spring-time at the Jersey Shore and it's a great time to get out after a cold winter in New Jersey. And, the views are just stunning.

These top rated restaurants are pricey, what restaurant would you put on this list? Would it be a seafood restaurant? Maybe seafood?
