Nice restaurant for Christmas Eve Dinner in Manchester Township?

I'm visiting my Mom in Whiting, NJ for Christmas. I'm looking for a nice restaurant for dinner on Christmas Eve and on 23rd. Any suggestions?

    Check out Three B's in Lakehurst. Nothing fancy but but very good tavern syle food in a nice setting. As a side note they also have an excellent Italian market in the same plaza.

        I haven't dined there with these owners but another place near Jackson is the Plumsted Grill and it's not too far from Whiting. See http://www.theplumstedgrill.com .

        I recommend Villa Vittoria in Brick. I eat there frequently. It's the sister restaurant of Il Giardino Sul Mare. Similar menus; both are about the same distance from Whiting.

        In either case, a reservation is recommended.

          Unfortunately, you're in the middle of the Pine Barrens and there's not much nearby. Your best bet would be to head towards the shore and Route 9 but note that a number of restaurants were damaged from "Sandy" and may not be open. If they're open, Il Giardino Sul www.ilgiardinorestaurant.com Mare in Forked River has excellent Italian cuisine.
