New Jersey has an abundance of restaurants in its cities, suburbs and along the shore. While many are amazing dining destinations, some of our most magical dining spots are in more secluded areas. You’ll enjoy a sense of peace as you eat, surrounded by nothing but nature. One restaurant that perfectly fits the bill is the Bait Box, at the Hancock Harbor Marina.

The Bait Box is a seafood spot located in historic Greenwich, along the Cohansey River.

This restaurant isn’t located in a bustling metropolis, but rather on the outskirts of Greenwich Township, one of five Tea Party towns during the Revolutionary War. The site of the Greenwich Tea Party, a load of tea meant for Philadelphia was burned in the night.

The restaurant has plenty to offer, including Liquid Therapy, an outdoor boat bar.

The menu is a mix of seafood options and American favorites, with a twist.

You’ll also find a variety of lunch and dinner options including sriracha deviled eggs, seafood pasta (with shrimp, mussels, crab meat, lobster, clams and scallops), fried calamari and prime rib cheesesteak. The menu isn’t massive, but there’s something for everyone. You can even build your own burger.

The interior of the restaurant is warm and welcoming.

But, best of all, you’ll get to enjoy scenes like this.
