  Gaslight is really hit or miss--I want to like this place. Two stars because they have a great beer selection and the mixed drinks are very good. I would go to Gaslight for a solid Old Fashion or Manhattan. If you do end up choosing Gaslight (given the numerous other choices in Atlantic Highlands, Sea Bright, and Rumson)--I would suggest sitting at the bar (not the tables) as long as there are enough stools for your whole party. DO NOT expect to stand behind or next to a friend at the bar as this is unacceptable and the person standing will be told to leave. I assume this is coming from Management and not the bartenders.
  
  During my last visit (12/23/16) we had just ordered drinks and were waiting for the last of our party to arrive. The restaurant was busy, but not overwhelmingly so given the time of year. After receiving our drinks the waitress came back and asked us for our appetizer and entree order. We were told that Management was very "serious about turning over the tables"--even though multiple tables in the restaurant were empty. We were not given the option of relaxing with our drinks and were pressured to order.
  
  At that point we almost (read as: should have) asked for our bill (~$210 in the end sans tip), but everyone was hungry so we ordered along with an entree for our friend. The rest of the evening we had a very unhappy waitress--again, I'll assume, because of having to enforce Restaurant Policy or possibly the fact that she overheard us bitching about Restaurant Policy. Either way, after approximately 75 minutes we left full, but unhappy.
  
  It's not surprising that the they also own the Copper Canyon next door. Family, friends, and coworkers have had terrible experiences with "Restaurant Policy" and turning over tables there as well.

  Wow....very nice surprise. ...great menu items .....very unique and not your basic. ...the tuna tartar over rice pizza was off the charts as well as the fried pickles, Brussel sprouts, chicarrarones and shredded ox tail.
