Recently we were there on a Sunday, the service was the worst I've ever had. The food was absolutely delicious. There were four of us and each agreed the food was great. They also lopped on to the check a fee for waitress service, but since the service was virtually non existent, I insisted they remove the fee which they did, and that was the first time in my life I left No gratuity. The place is not cheap, but getting past the service, you'll really enjoy the meal. Back to Nature is at 312 Main Street, Allenhurst NJ (732) 663-2910 (located between Deal & Asbury Park) Mon Aug 28 13:10:18 -0700 2006 26367 RichardGee 1 1840632 My experience: poor service, overpriced entrees and ok food. Tue Aug 29 16:38:37 -0700 2006 1837520 24247 morris 1 1845709 We were just there last night and everything was excellent including the service. We had hummus and the middle eastern platter as appetizers and then Penne Vodka and the Teriaki Salmon, all unbelieveably delicious and quite reasonable. Family of 5 for $105 with each their own entre! The ambience isn't great, but who cares as long as the food was soo good. Enjoy!

We both agreed they were the best salads we have had in a long time. Used three different home made dressings, one better than the next. Menu was diverse, and in looking at other meals coming out of the kitchen, we are excited about trying other items. Decor was very simple, but it was like a fashion show of beautiful women, clothes and accessories. Many families were there, which was nice to see and also to see young children eating healthy. Great experience, will be back often! Tue Jan 09 13:47:18 -0800 2007 1837520 65351 vinnie 1 2168975 Just wondering... How far a drive is it from Atlantic City to this restaurant, and to the restaurants in Deal? Tue Jan 09 15:16:17 -0800 2007 1837520 15126 Bzdhkap 2 2177605 Atlantic City to Deal is maybe about 60-75 minutes. This restaurant to Deal is a few blocks.

Fri Jan 19 01:16:27 -0800 2007 2204100 39503 pitagirl 3 2204828 I'm sorry, but I've been to Shari's once and it was absolutely awful. I ordered the prime rib medium rare and got a cold slab of overcooked meat smothered in instant gravy with a side of frozen french fries.

Tue Jan 13 20:54:10 -0800 2009 1837520 256984 Mendi 1 4325325 Thoroughly enjoyed the three or four times I have been to Back to Nature. Went to Mosaica in Union, NJ last week. Excellent service, pleasent staff, food was good, not spectacular. Ambiance ok, a bit crowded. I think it was pricey for good but not spectacular food, my wife disagrees.
