Beloved Point Pleasant, NJ, Restaurant Abruptly Shuts Down

A popular Point Pleasant eatery closed its doors for good this weekend, surprising local customers.

Catherine's Farm to Table in Point Pleasant was a BYOB that opened in 2023, but posted on Saturday (July 26) on social media that they were closing their doors due to 'unforeseen circumstances'.

A beloved spot known for its farm-to-table offerings, modern American food with locally sourced ingredients, announced on Saturday that it was closing indefinitely.

The post stressed their time in Point Pleasant was incredible and mentioned how humbled they were by the reaction to the news.

Social Media Reactions from Fans

Many social media comments were positive, with some asking for the restaurant to

move to their town: "Come to Freehold or Manalapan. We need this! Not enough healthy choices for places to dine!"

Another commented how nice the owners of the restaurant were: Sad. Really nice owners

A third commenter said they were disappointed they weren't able to get there more often: Sad to learn this…I was only there once, the food was delicious, service and atmosphere were outstanding!!! Please do what you can to open up in another location. We would be steady customers. Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors.

Locals hope this isn’t the last we see of Catherine’s in the Shore dining scene, we'll keep an eye out to see if they land someplace else or are they closed for good.
