Origins Bistro in Point Pleasant

A great find !. Lobster corn chowder soup was excellent with lots of flavor and not salty. Faroe Island Pistachio salmon cooked to perfection. My husband had diver scallops w risotto which was also excellent. Service was gracious. Can’t wait to return

I don't know how this place does not have more reviews. This restaurant is an absolute GEM and I have never been to another place like it. This is the type of place where you walk in and feel like you're seeing somebody's dream of being a chef become a reality. The menu is small and carefully calculated. You can tell that the chef only includes the dishes that he is confident cooking- and damn, does it show on your plate. To start, the waiter is also the head chef and the kitchen is smaller than most house kitchens. You have to run a fine-tuned machine to be able to attend to tables and cook top quality food without a ton of help. It's a very intimate setting with only a few tables, which is definitely a surprise when, from the outside, it looks like a small coffee shop in a strip mall. All of the food - and I mean all of it - was absolutely delicious. We have extremely high standards and every single dish was knocked out of the park. The shrimp scampi was super light and so flavorful and delicious. My boyfriend got the lamb chop and it was the best he has ever eaten. I'm typically not a fan of French onion soup but it was done so incredibly well that we could not put it down. The burrata board was fresh and included a few different components that worked perfectly with the cheese. The calamari was fried to perfection. And for an added bonus, the restaurant is byob. Do yourself a favor and visit this unique, one of a kind gem....

We just discovered this spot. Amazing service and high quality food. I have my faves in the Squan/Point Pleasant area, Charlies, Shipwreck Grill etc, but the food here is the star. I had the drunken muscles in a flavorful broth. Ask for more bread. Then the Seared Tuna. Crazy! I am going back for the lamb, and seafood capellini which were ordered by my friends and would not share very much. So glad this is here and is somehow surviving this COVID crap. The owner chef could not be more accommodating. I will support Origins Bistro and make sure he st
