The Chocolate Soda — Restaurant in Ocean Township

Fun place for a kosher brunch, especially if you go before the summer rush. Service was great, and they gave us high chairs and mini pancakes for our kids.

But we are definitely looking forward to coming back here again and having another...

I told Sheryl and she offered to make another order. I requested a refund instead. She gave me a look like I had some nerve. I think the owners should spend sometime there and see what's going on. Whatever happened to service with a smile. You won't...
