A proposal by a group of local entrepreneurs to build a new seafood restaurant – which will also have a retail seafood market plus wholesale seafood sales – will have a hearing before the Brick Township planning board later this month.
The application before the board asks members to approve a proposal by 872 Mantoloking Road Partners LLC, a group of local business owners, to build the restaurant at the address in its name. The property at 872 Mantoloking Road is currently an empty lot, diagonally across the street from the popular Denino’s Pizza restaurant near the Hooper Avenue intersection.
According to the planning board filing, the business owners would build a “seafood restaurant with retail & wholesale sales along with ancillary property improvements at the existing vacant lot.” The application calls for several “bulk” variances, including a lot with of 101-feet when 125-feet is normally required, a front yard setback of 24.7-feet where 50-feet is normally required, 9-foot-wide parking spaces where 10-feet is normally required, and permission to allow parking less than from the Glenwood Place right-of-way. There are also several minor design waivers being requested.

The ownership group, 872 Mantoloking Road Partners LLC, is made up of principals Jarod Caporino – who also owns Point Oyster, a family owned oyster farm – plus Brian McNamee and Nick Peroni, all of whom have backgrounds in the digital and finance sectors.
There have not been renderings of the future restaurant released yet – those are expected at the hearing, which is scheduled for Sept. 25, 2024 at 7 p.m. at the township municipal complex on Chambers Bridge Road.
