New Restaurants in Monmouth County NJ: Fall 2026

Monmouth County’s dining scene keeps growing, from a sleek Pan-Asian spot in downtown Red Bank to a French bistro on Spring Lake’s Third Avenue. Here are four new restaurants that have opened their doors in recent months and are worth putting on your list this fall.

SHO Asian Table

• Town: Red Bank
• Where: 8-10 West Front Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701
• Hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.; closed Monday

SHO brings contemporary Pan-Asian dining to West Front Street, with a menu that draws on Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asian cooking. Sushi is a big part of the draw, with nigiri, sashimi and signature rolls, plus a crafted cocktail list and a dramatic, design-forward dining room. The restaurant is also preparing a dry-aged duck experience served in three courses for groups of two, four or six. Valet parking is available at 22 West Front Street, which makes it an easy pick before a show at the Count Basie Center or Two River Theater.

Maple House is a new breakfast, brunch and lunch cafe where everything is cooked to order.

The coffee bar is a highlight, with espresso, a matcha bar and signature lattes in flavors like cookie butter, pistachio, salted caramel, banana bread and s’mores. Pastries, including croissants, muffins, seasonal galettes and danishes, are baked fresh each morning, so get there early on weekends.
