My experience at Mabels was amazing! So much so I forgot to even take pics! It will definitely not be my last time here so I will be sure to follow up my review with pics of all the delicacies I devour on my next trip! Do not miss out on this experience! The food ,the atmosphere, the service were all top notch and they make a heck of a drink too! Mabel where have you been all my life!
Top notch food and hospitality. Awesome hidden gem inside Bell Works. Outdoor bar area is amazing too. 10/10 recommend!
Ashlyn was absolutely amazing server and bartender! I have been several times and the food was top notch as well. The service and drinks in particular were amazing. We will be back for sure again next week. Ashlyn gave an amazing recommendation for the special of the day and drinks were on point. 5 stars all around. Jason
This place is wonderful and the food was fantastic! We got the seafood tower and it was some of the freshest oysters I have ever had. I like how they have a seasonal menu and the wine/cocktail pairings fit perfectly with what the server recommended. The food is thoughtful, creative, fresh, and modern - yet still has some of those traditional touches (the jersey corn salad, the Asian crispy wings, the penne vodka). The most magical dishes were definitely the homemade pastas - make sure to get the pesto pasta, it’s cooked to absolute perfection. This place is a gem!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Mabel and it was a dream come true!! From the perfect atmosphere, to the amazing staff (shout out Dara and chef Laura for being so great to work with!), and obviously the most delicious food! It was everything we wanted! We had a little less than 60 people which was perfect for the dining room space. We were able to have a DJ and small dance floor too. We did our cocktail hour outside and then transitioned inside for dinner and dancing. What I loved most is how personal everything felt. The restaurant really wants to make sure you have the perfect day; you’re not just another number to them like some other wedding venues, which my husband and I truly appreciated. I honestly can’t say enough good things and If I got to do my wedding again I would without a doubt still have it at Mabel! Highly recommend!
This was our first visit to Mabel's but will definitely not be our last. We were almost deterred by a few negative reviews but honestly, we believe Mabels should have only rave reviews. Our server, Natalia guided us through our choices as she suggested some options that we might like. Her suggestions were spot on. After explaining to Natalia that I enjoy a spicy drink I had an amazing cocktail (tres cabelleros) My husband enjoyed kokomo.. Both libations were thoroughly enjoyed I had Sea Bass for dinner. It was a unique blend of flavors which enriched the entree. The serving size was also abundant. My husband had the RibEye Cheesesteak. He was also pleasantly surprised at the flavors and portion size. We are happy that we found this wonderful gem and we look forward to returning with friends and family. Thanks to Natlaia for making us feel welcome.
Amazing spot— for date night, drinks and girl dinner! The soul and spirit of this women owned local biz shines through in all the details and every dish. Menu changes seasonally, but always rely on their homemade pastas, fresh seafood apps and the Parker house rolls omgggg ☠️ We love sneaking in for a cocktail while the kids romp, and they’re the OG “girl dinner” spot. The sidecar of gummy worms with your martini?! Genius.
Went there for ✨️ girl dinner✨️ and some "small" plates and martinis 🍸. Maggie was an absolute sweetheart and checked in and made suggestions. I absolutely *loved* the yoshi cocktail. Deff would go again for dinner! …
Mabel at Bell Works in Holmdel is such a standout spot—perfectly blending a fun, lively bar atmosphere with seriously inventive food. The menu is creative without being over the top, and every dish feels thoughtfully executed and full of flavor. It’s the kind of place where you want to order a few things to share. Be sure to try the house made pierogis or pasta—and you can see them being made through the window to the kitchen! The bar scene is energetic and welcoming, making it a great choice whether you’re meeting friends for drinks or settling in for a full dinner. Their happy hour deals are especially good—definitely worth planning around if you can. What really makes the experience unique, though, is the setting inside Bell Works. The building itself has such a fascinating history as the former Bell Labs, and it’s been beautifully transformed into this vibrant, modern space. Walking around before or after your meal adds an extra layer to the visit. All around, Mabel delivers great food, a fun vibe, and a memorable setting. Highly recommend checking it out!
We had the pleasure of being able to rent out part of the Mabel venue/restaurant for our recent baby shower! Dara and Mimi from Mabel were so accommodating and made the experience so much more special. The staff during the event were so friendly and welcoming. The service was quick, and the atmosphere of the space was airy, bright, inviting, and so clean. The food was amazing! Guests still talk about how good the brownie skillet and the chicken fingers with that delicious jammy sauce were. The menu has a great variety to select from if you're looking to book a brunch-lunch event. They even accommodated our gluten-free guests! They also let us arrive an hour early to set up and decorate the venue according to our liking, with some guidelines from Bell Works, and it truly was such a great layout for the space. We had a wonderful time and encourage others to host their next event here!
