The restaurant was previously in the news when the opening date of the restaurant got delayed after its renovation. Back then Tania said, “We started planning and implementing the design immediately when we got the green lighThe renovation was a huge overhaul for the couple as construction lasted nearly three months. The opening date was originally scheduled for September. But it unexpectedly ended up taking us five months to flip.” Although much of the establishment appears to look different for those who are familiar with the original layout, the new owners did try to keep some of the unique elements that visitors enjoyed including some of the booths, chairs and part of the bar area which was repurposed. “We tried to keep what we could,” said Chris. “We like the old school feel of the place. Red sauce kind of joint,” added Tania. “It’s located outside of Asbury Park with its own parking lot, which is a huge thing for us and we love the bar!." The duo describes the restaurant as a “modern take on old-school Italian,” as per PR Web. 

Why did Nettie's restrict children under age 10 from the restaurant?

The official Facebook post read, "We love kids. We really, truly, do. But lately, it’s been extremely challenging to accommodate children at Nettie’s. Between noise levels, lack of space for high chairs, cleaning up crazy messes, and the liability of kids running around the restaurant, we have decided that it’s time to take control of the situation. This wasn’t a decision that was made lightly, but some recent events have pushed us to implement this new policy."



 

Further it said, "As of March 8, the day we return from our winter break, we will no longer allow children under 10 to dine in the restaurant.We know that this is going to make some of you very upset, especially those of you with very well-behaved kids, but we believe this is the right decision for our business moving forward. Thank you for understanding."
