The Whitechapel Projects - Long Branch, New Jersey

Honestly just had the best experience at the White Lotus Escape: A Global Dinner Series, inspired by season 2 of White Lotus. The food was out of this world, and the wine pairings were spot on! Bummed I’ll be traveling for the next one, but would absolutely recommend checking it out.

Went for the Vivaldi by candlelight event that they hosted. I wish there wasn't snow and ice and frigid cold everywhere because there was a very large and very interesting looking semi sheltered outdoor section (like a mudroom but the size of tennis court).

Once you navigate your way inside (it isn't the most intuitive the entrance from that massive mudroom area) they have a nice restaurant section with a bar. Very friendly bartenders and weren't afraid to fill your glass to the top. Then there's the venue section.

I won't complain much about how the beautiful picture of candles I'm gonna post was the only time I was able to see said candle arrangement. But unless you were in the first 2 rows as soon as you took your seat you'd never know there was a single candle lighting anything. Some aisle seats could see some of it but just a small view; it was a huge disappointment and failure on that part. However the musicians talent made up for it in spades!

They were phenomenal, I believe the stringed quartet works out of monmouth county so local talent. But they just kept raising the bar higher and higher through each movement. And the 2 additional pieces and encore was a great treat and fun shake up of the order of things since it's such a famous and ubiqitoiusly used piece through time. But they made each note feel riveting and new. Can't recommend enough.

It's also a nice intimate venue. It seated 144 by my count all wooden chairs two sections 9 x 8 with an aisle in the middle. But you can hear the person across the hall moving there chair when it's a quiet portion of the song. Luckily we had a pretty respectful audience and we're mindful of the noise. Would enjoy seeing another concert there again for sure.

We came for the Candlelight Concert. Excellent musicians and loved the Halloween theme for their performance. They were amazing to watch. On the flip side, the venue wasn’t as grand as portrayed to be and was quite underwhelming. Bar service was slow prior to the show starting too and didn’t seem like the venue was adept in handling large crowds for events like this (Whitechapel Projects Location in NJ) No signage telling you where to go or how to get to the space (many people were asking) Although staff at the event were courteous and helpful getting to our seat, I’m not sure I would come back to this venue for anything.

Happy to come enjoy the evening . Everything was so delicious. The plating was exceptionally prepared. The flavors all came together . The lobster ravioli was delicate and fluffy swimming in a delectable consumme. The Marry Me Chicken was well flavored , you can tell it was marinated in herbs , and basted in pesto . Absolutely delectable. The mousse was light fluffy and just enough along with a marvelous shortbread square with a velvetty butter finish. I totally enjoyed my valentines experience finished with Jane keeping the rotations going, Sophia running the food, Johnny my server absolute treasure to have at my table side, entertainingand completely accommodating. His service is devine. The evening has been a treasure!

I hosted my sister’s Bridal Shower at White Chapel Project this weekend and it was amazing! The room was rustic, light airy and immaculate and we were able to bring in our own designs and decor to set the vibe. Management and staff were helpful, attentive, on their game and kind! All of our guests raved about how delicious and healthy the food was. Our day of celebrating went off without a hitch and my sister couldn’t have been happier with how the day turned out. Super thankful for ease of hosting that White Chapel Project provided! I look forward to hosting another event at WCP in the future!

We recently visited for a candlelit concert this past Thursday and had dinner beforehand. The food and the concert were absolutely incredible. The space was tastefully decorated and for the most part it was an excellent experience. The service on the other hand left a lot to be desired. The hostess and waitress both came off as snooty and unfriendly. It felt as if every request was an inconvenience from the start. I would come back for another concert but I would probably eat elsewhere over choosing this establishment again.

Tonight I came for the candle light show: The musicians were extremely gifted, they really brought the emotion of the songs to life. The atmosphere was beautiful. Would highly recommend. I also just love whitechapel projects and the vibe there… I’m due back for dinner and drinks soon!
