“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.”

Just got a regular drip coffee and I appreciated that they frothed the milk without even asking for it.
If you are staying at one of the nearby hotels I would definitely recommend walking over for lunch instead of spending $30 at one of the hotel restaurants”

“Delicious food and authentic NJ diner experience at Seaport Diner!! I got the Reuben sandwich with fries, it was huge and had amazing flavor - the corned beef was tender, the cheese melty, rye bread was toasty, and the sauerkraut with Russian dressing made it perfect. Plus it was open face, a really unique touch, served with crunchy pickles, sauerkraut and yummy fries. A feast for sure! My family for sunny side eggs (perfectly cooked) with crispy bacon and pancakes. They were super happy, said it was delicious. The location is perfect for a meal near Newark airport. The service was great, food was served nice and hot, place was clean. And you get that cool New Jersey diner vibe with leather booths and cool bar seating. I definitely recommend Seaport Diner - we will be back!!”

“We had a good time, but be prepared to brush up on your spanish (or ask google translate for help)- the staff speaks mostly spanish. We luckily had spanish speakers in our group that helped us out.Our group got the pollo a la brasa (not pictured) and I learned that mixing the green sauce with ketchup is very tasty, but the garlic shrimp (camarones al ajillo) had my favorite taste/sauce. I personally liked the rice a lot but the french fries were also very nice.”

“My girlfriend introduced me to this place about a year ago as she is a resident in the area. I have enjoyed several types of Peruvian cuisine before I tried El Punto. When we went there to have dinner, I had the Jalea and Mariscos (fish), and I was blown away. The Jalea itself was my favorite; fresh fish and fresh ingredients got me “hooked.” Since then, we had been back there a few more times for dinner, and the dining experience is still excellent. The place is cozy, clean, and the staff is very friendly. I look forward to returning again soon. I would definitely recommend El Punto Marino to anyone who loves Peruvian cuisine; especially the seafood. Thanks for the great experience.”

“The food was good. Live music is great. The only downside is there's valet parking on weekends which I didn't find was needed at all. Also, if you take leftovers home, they charge you for the bag to put your container in. This was not mentioned until I saw it on the bill later.”

“I have been going here since it has opened,and the food is good prepared as you like it. The personnel are beautiful people with whom I have seen feed those who may not have the money to eat on several occasions which every community business person should have a heart to do. It is a community-based business which I would not change for anything or anyone!!!”

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at IHOP for breakfast, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Daniel (AM shift), truly made our visit special. He was not only extremely personable but also attentive to our needs, ensuring that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.
Now, onto the food! We indulged in their famous pancakes (my husband had the Protein pancakes), which were fluffy and bursting with flavor. The syrup selection was impressive, and I couldn't resist trying a few different ones! I also ordered the classic breakfast combo, which included perfectly cooked eggs, crispy turkey bacon, and golden hash browns. Each bite was delicious, and it was evident that everything was prepared with care.
Overall, my breakfast at IHOP was a fantastic start to the day, thanks to Daniel's exceptional service and the delectable food. I highly recommend visiting this location for a satisfying meal and a friendly atmosphere!
