It’s no secret. Jim Filip is passionate about seafood.

As owner/operator of Doris & Ed's in Highlands, New Jersey, Jim Filip and his landmark seafood restaurant have become living legends in the culinary world. Filip and Executive Chef Russell Dare work magic in the kitchen, the wine cellar and among the tables, magic that has earned them a large local and regional following.

This one-of-a-kind restaurant, with the Manhattan skyline sparkling across Sandy Hook Bay, has been awarded countless prestigious dining awards, reviews, national recognition and feature television segments. Filip's uncanny instincts for choosing only the very best seafood, and Dare's brilliance in creating a New American menu both imaginative and traditional, have transformed Doris & Ed's into a quintessential seafood dining experience in the New Jersey – New York area.

Doris & Ed's resides in a tastefully restored 100-year-old bayside inn. At this nineteenth century rest-over for fish boat captains, Coast Guard brass, honeymooners and clammers, you'll find an extraordinary twenty-first century wine list. A self-taught wine connoisseur, Jim Filip delights in helping patrons select the perfect wine to accompany any dish. With over 315 wines to choose from, the possibilities are endless.

Doris & Ed's. A delicious synthesis of tastes and centuries. Your classic & contemporary seafood oasis.

The fish isn’t just fresh. It’s wild.
