“Great filet mignon - waiter said it comes with string bean but nothing on the side just steak with truffle sauce. Was a hearty portion and cooked perfectly. Not cheap expect to pay 70+ just for steak but quality was perfect. Wines weren’t that expensive. I’d go back to try their prime rib. In comparison Ruth Chris charges a little less for steak but upsells the wines.“
“They had a location in the Bronx on Broadway near West 231st Street. I am sorry they no longer have that location. It was one of my go to places. I miss my favorite meal there: Filet of Sole with crabmeat stuffing. Baked potatoes & broccoli..Nothing or no one is perfect but they were very good.“
“Great vibe. Absolutely LOVE the jazz trio. Food tasted great. Portions are quite small for the price, and the steak was very especially grizzly, unfortunately. Very attentive and well trained staff. Lots of push upselling drinks on the drinks, and they brought bottle water we had to pay for despite asking for tap 3 times. Wonderful wine and cocktails menu. Overall I would recommend for special occasions.“
“Absolutely a must to dine in. Food is amazing the presentation perfect. Waiter and waitress were so helpful and kind. My wife and I highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Eggplant appetizer was amazing. The falafel was right on with delicious humus“
“The service was amazing! Our server Jay went above and beyond what was expected. The onion soup was delicious. The perfect amount of cheese and the perfect saltiness. I ordered the 2 course plat. I had the soup and the beef tenderloin and fries. Delicious. The special dessert of the day was their bourbon bread pudding with butter pecan ice cream. All I can say is Yum!!“
“This place is fantastic!!! The pasta was to die for! The lamb pizza I’ve been thinking about since I’ve eaten it! The only hiccup was that they were short staffed in the kitchen so we were there for a very long time AND my husbands steak was over cooked. They did more than enough to make it right and were very apologetic. The place is very cute and homey inside. PLUS BYOB! We will be back again that’s for sure !“
“Worth the wait and the hype - usually no wait during quieter hours but be sure to reserve during peak times - the food was delicious and fresh, cooked perfectly with a deliciously famous Capt Loui seasoning - be sure to load up on the seafood for extra flavor in the boil, addd garlic noodles and some homemade lemonade for the full experience “

“Comfortable, casual, but classy atmosphere. The service was very friendly and happy to explain any dishes that we weren't familiar with. The food was amazing! I wish I took more photos. We started with the babaganoush and tablouli salad. My husband had the lamb kebab and I had the chicken kofte. Everything was so flavorful and tender. I have no idea how to spell the dessert we shared, but it was like a non-crunchy creme brulee. SO GOOD, light and refreshing. Highly recommend this place.“
“Without a doubt the best Greek food in the Rockland Bergen area! Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. Staff was suoer friendly and professional. We were able to try the baklava which is made on site. Wonderful!! It's also a BYOB.“
“Lamb chops very tasty with Lemon Potatoes and Vegetables!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Appetizers were very fresh . Dessert was incredible, we had the Galaktoboureko for the first time ever!!!! Our waiter was very helpful, didn't have to wait long for our food.10/10“
“Wow, a true hidden gem in the heart of Clifton, I've been at hundreds of Italian spots in Jersey and this one is absolutely magic! The rigatoni is homemade in the house, and it definitely shows, I got mine with Cajun chicken and vodka sauce. Melt in your mouth. Delicious! My day got the shrimp Parm, with the homemade rigatoni as well, and he was in love! A full bar I will definitely be back! And a full bar !“
“I absolutely love this place! From the food, atmosphere and customer service. I have used them twice to cater my baby shower and a recent birthday party. Zinna the owner is super sweet, professional, punctual. She truly wants the customer to be happy and checks in with you. My family and friends loved the food and I will always use them in the future.“
“The meal was perfectly cooked:FlatbreadSalmon (allergy sensitive)LambFilet & lobsterThe service was exceptional, attending to the allergies of my family and ensuring we were all able to enjoy our meals.Deserts were delicious, and left us wanting a little more, portions were small but perfect.Ambiance is little more upscale than average dining.Dietary restrictions: Chef went above and beyond to ensure allergies were catered to.“
“Adam Weiss's talents shine through in every dish on his menu. The combination flavors and unique preparations keep us coming back time after time. Tonight's carrot soup special and arctic char were simply amazing. Adam's cheesecake is still my hands down favorite ever. Hedy is the perfect hostess- we should all have a Mom like her in our corner! So grateful to have this gem in our backyard.“
“The food was super fresh and so tasty. I think we were there shortly before closing but the few tables that were also dining at the same time were also served quickly. My family ordered three different entrees and shared. We were really happy with our meals- everything was super fresh, the use of veggies and sauces really elevated the taste and quality of the seafood being used. The staff was very friendly and the place had a comfortable feel.“
“I attended a group dinner here at the end of January. While the food was amazing, I was most appreciative of the service. We were made to feel special and it really helped to elevate the experience. And I haven't stopped thinking about the parmesan cauliflower bites - so good!!!“
“The lobster bisque in a bread bowl was delicious. I don't know where they get their bread bowls but mine was perfect. Warm and crusty on the outside but soft and yummy on the inside.The mocktails are new since our last visit and the mojito was the best I've had so far at a restaurant. I also had the kale caesar salad with blackened grouper which I really enjoyed.“
“JOVAN is the BEST SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE HIM A RAISE NOW! Not now, but, RIGHT NOW!!!!? HIS SERVICE WAS A MILLION OUT OF 10! Me & my girls will DEFINITELY be back!!!!❤️ THANK YOU JOVAN!!!!Parking: We found a park RIGHT IN FRONT“
“Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The yellow rice is soft and tasty; it is very well made. The pernil is also very well cooked but does lack a bit of seasoning, it still taste good but I think they cook can add a bit more seasoning to it and it will be PERFECT! I always feel like I am back at home whenever I order from Mis Raices.“
“First time at this Restaurant and we were greeted right away with a friendly hello. It seems like an average Chinese restaurant. They do make Hibachi style food here as well.We ordered Mumbo sauce wings and Honey/Old Bay sauce wings. They both were delicious! The fried shrimp was breaded and cooked to perfection! The added cocktail and tarter sauces on the side was appeasing to the pallet as well!We also had the fried rice (which contains eggs) and that was ok.The prices on their Menu is very reasonable! You get alot of food for your money.We did have to wait some time for our order and it did start to get a little busy when we were waiting, but all in all, it was worth the wait!Check out Hi Good Stuff in Clifton! It is a MUST try!!We will be returning here again to try their Boil Seafood Bags that they have!???“
“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“
“Although I experienced a wait of about 40 minutes on a bustling Saturday, the exceptional dining experience that followed made it well worth the delay. From the moment I stepped inside only experienced good things.Our server Leo was knowledgeable, attentive and made great recommendations. The appetizer was amazing, can’t remember the name but will attach a photo. The entries were cooked to perfection I ordered Ensalada de la casa con churrascoFilete de pescado con cangrejo y vegetales.The flavor were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. I found the price very decent. Top-notch service, exceptional cuisine, and cleanliness - Rumba Cubana truly deserves a 5-star rating. Can't wait to come back!"“
“Attended a end of season party for my sons wrestling team in the party room. There was ample space for all of us, the staff and manager/owner was exceptionally kind, friendly and accomodating. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back with my family for a meal or host an event from this restaurant.Parking: The lot forms a semi circle around the restaurant, there was plenty of parking for all the event guest plus whatever regulars dine there.Kid-friendliness: It was a kid event so there were kids all over the place being kids and having fun. No one reprimanded the children for noise or rambunctiousness. It was alot of fun for the children.“
“I have been passing by this small restaurant for the past 4 years and wanting to try it out. Finally I went and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the small restaurant, which doesn’t look like much from the outside has amazing Mediterranean Turkish food. I was very impressed. Everything was fresh And delicious. This is definitely gem in the ruff . The restaurant is very welcoming and comfi . It’s a family business, and Adam was very helpful and pleasant as a waiter and he told me that his family owns the business. They take a lot of pride in the food that they serve. Also the price for what I paid for lunch was a great deal I got a Shepherds salad. Chicken kebab with rice, and another grain called Bulgar. they also gave me on the house a Turkish custard, which was very delicious. The lunch also comes with a soda. This is a must try hotspot, especially for lunch. I will definitely be back to eat the delicious Turkish food.“
“Our server was out standing. Everyone was so suggestive and kind. They went above and beyond for my daughters birthday and we will certainly be returning!!Kid-friendliness: I mean above and beyond service for my daughters birthday!! Not only that our server was so sweet to our kids and genuinely listen to them!!“

Despite high anticipation, every dish surpassed our hopes, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to the heart of Cajun cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the experience, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring our every need was met with a smile. From the perfectly seasoned boils to the succulent grilled seafood, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. Without a doubt, Crab Island stands as a beacon of Cajun culinary excellence, deserving of every praise.“
“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan. I also love the Mango Lassi and the Masala Chai. Everything is fresh and the service is exceptional.

“I loved going to this restaurant, the delicious ajiaco reminded me of my beloved Bogotá, the delicious fritters and the attention of the very friendly and helpful waiters.The place is very clean and well decorated, it feels like being at home.“
“Cool new spot in town! I was reluctant to try this place out but I decided to give it a try after seeing a nice crowd in there. It turns out there is a new owner, he just kept the name of the place the same. A mistake in my opinion but at least he did one good thing. He hired a great bartender named I know from Barrel and Brew. This guy can make a great drink and he is so personable. He interacts well with guests and designed a great menu of drinks. I enjoyed a couple of delicious margaritas while I was there. They also had a DJ named Bronson playing some great music. I look forward to seeing how this place does because I've always said this spot would make a great bar because of the nice patio outside. It would make a great hangout for the summer. I can't really comment on the food because I only tried an order of wings but they were good. The ambience though gave me reason to believe this place could make it at this spot.“
“First time ordering from this place and I will definitely be back. I created my own bowl and order the sliced cucumber salad. Both food items were so tasty and affordable. For Next time, I look forward to trying the Kani tots, that people have spoken so highly of.“

The Service from Johnny, Drew and Paul is second to none! I highly recommend it and will definitely return. I suggest Pork Chops, delicious and perfectly cooked.“
“Wonderful food, my friend who is super picky eater and dines in “famous” restaurants in NYC, who rarely finishes his food, scraped the bottom of plates here. Food is that yummy. The bartenders are professional and top of the line folks. Beautiful venue, too…what more is there? Thumbs up“
“Forte was absolutely delicious! We all loved our meals, however, there is 1 main thing to keep in mind:1. The NOISE - you literally had to scream across the table to hear anything. It was actually overstimulating and really, really made for a bad experience. We didn’t eat in the main dining room (which was 1000x louder), we ate in a little room off of it with about 6 tables and it was still so loud. Very off putting.The restaurant is massive - a bar when you first walk in, a large dining area with booths and tables and a “private room”. There was also a pizzeria too.The food was delicious and the staff were very abundant and helpful. Everyone absolutely loved their entree and everything came out piping hot.Highly recommend the Veal Martini and the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, both had sauces that were to die for.It is an expensive place to dine (especially if you are ordering cocktails), but the food is outstanding.Dress code a little fancier than casual, with most diners wearing sports coats, dresses, and even heels.Overall a really great restaurant and would go back, just hope they can put some soundproofing in!There also is valet parking because there is no street parking (free of charge), however, don’t forget to tip them a few bucks!Parking: Free valet parking but don’t forget to give them a few bucks!“
“Seafood Speakeasy! This unassuming Fish Market’s best kept secret is that it operates a restaurant in the back of the marketplace with the freshest catch you’ll find anywhere! Truly so good they will have you hook, line and sinker! The Halibut is to die for and lobster bisque with generous lobster portions. Better yet, if you want your favorite fish cooked a certain way, they’ve got you covered! Blackened swordfish? No worries matey!The room is small, immaculate and intimate yet service is kind, friendly and expedient. Note there is an early dinner crowd of locals, so timing is key. Nonetheless, despite the humble setting Seafood Gourmet churns out the most delicious seafood around, rivaling the most discriminating seafood establishments you can think of. Set sail on a voyage worth taking!PS Did I mention it’s BYOB?!“
“Absolutely superb Peruvian food served by very nice folk. We had a trio of ceviche, a huge cauldron of chicken noodle soup (we took home a quart of leftovers. But the best was potatoes w/three cremas. The yellow was good, the red had a touch of spice, and the green was wonderfully earthy. We want to return with a group to explore more of the menu.The service was warm and caring.“
“I had my sister's Bridal Shower at Cafe Tivoli. Rafael was so easy to deal with and worked tirelessly to make our event special. Steven was an excellent server and so were the other servers that were shy, gracious, helpful and did everything to accommodate my guests. I would highly recommend having your event here! Thank you Cafe Tivoli!!!!Vegetarian options: We had 2 vegetarians at our party. The options were plenty. The appetizers were vegetarian friendly as well as the options available as entrees.Dietary restrictions: We had a guest that has a shrimp allergy. The servers were more than happy to accommodate this restriction making the guest feel comfortable.“
“Love this spot. Happy Hour even on Sundays, fyi! My friends and I always sit at the bar. Great eats on the bar menu. And Walker is my favorite server. He shows impeccable attention to detail, is extremely pleasant and his timing is excellent. A true professional! I highly recommend this spot for business lunches or dinner, as well as family events.“
“My go to place on the way to the city for the weekend! I hate showing up hungry and looking for somewhere to get a quick bite before a late dinner. Biggie's is perfect for what I needed. The food is consistently good. Had the lobster roll and it was fantastic. Great drinks, you definitely get your money's worth too.. All around yes!“
“Absolutely incredible! Customer service was immaculate and friendly. We had the grilled octopus over spinach, and the spinach itself was fantastic. And octopus grilled to perfection. The lobster roll. Stop it. Thats the best lobster roll I've had and I've lived in Rhode Island. Both the alfredo and the lobster roll had A LOT of lobster and beautiful flavor. 10/10.“
“Unique Korean eating experience. Buffet style restaurant where you also cook your meats and vegetables on the burners at your table. I did not like the food because I'm not much of a meat eater but the customer service was very good. This style of eating is for the more adventurous eater and is not for everyone.“
“We had lunch on a Friday, the restaurant was quiet, but the atmosphere was warm our waiter was very professional, very pleasant. We ordered lunch with main course and dessert. The food was absolutely authentic, high end. My veal chop came with an assortment of mushrooms that were perfectly prepared,: flavorful, seasoned just right. My husband another meat dish from the menu, that he hereby declared truly delicious. We hadn't gone back to Cenzino in a long time, but may well be make it a more regular stop.The restaurant is elegant, pristinely clean. Such a nice time.“
“I am excited to share my dining experience at The Thistle with you! The warmth and kindness of the hostess created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere from the moment I arrived. It was refreshing to be greeted with such genuine hospitality, making dinner even more enjoyable. I immediately ordered exactly what I had been craving for. THE ORIGINAL THISTLE FISH & CHIPS! Satisfying my craving was precisely what I was aiming for. Perfection in a delightful crispy batter, paired with golden "chips" fries, tater sauce and coleslaw. [Don't be shy to ask for more tartar sauce.] It's a BYOB spot, so don't forget your favorite bottle of wine or beer, which goes great with fish! I'll be sure to bring a bottle the next time I go. Can't wait to go back.“
“Excellent experience here! From welcoming us to our table through dessert, great attentive service. Cocktails were well made and their red sangria is always a great idea! Try the Boulevardie Negoni. Packs a slight punch and refreshing. Our appetizers were the grilled octopus and shrimp in garlic sauce - both excellent! For dinner, I had a huge swordfish steak, lightly blackened and grilled perfectly. My wife had the stuffed lobster, and our friends had paella - loaded with seafood. Dessert choices were several cake selections, chocolate mousse and flan. Finished off with Segovia coffee (adds "43" Quarenta y Tres cordial liquor) and all was great! Many thanks to Manny and the staff at Segovia Steak and Seafood!“
“The food, staff, and environment was amazing. By far the best hook and reel location. The drinks are perfectly made, the food is cooked to perfection, and the staff are super helpful and make this dining experience 10 times better. The staff are quick to attend you and are attentive. I would’ve gave this place 10 stars if i could.“
“This is THE best spicy tofu soup restaurant in NJ. Palisades Park location is my favorite because their soups are perfectly delicious and flavorful and it has just the right amount of spice that is appropriate for each level. The Bibimbop and Galbi tang are also tasty non-tofu options. Their appetizers are also really good especially the seafood pancake and corn cheese which are my favorites! The ambience feels like home with a cozy atmosphere, and the service at this location is always excellent! Palisades Park location never disappoints out of all of the locations in NJ!“
“Mesob never disappoints, it offers top decor, friendly and super attentive staff on top of the flavorful and plentiful portions that warms both the belly and soul. You can tell that this is a labor of love.Kid-friendliness: Our 1 year old went in on both the meat and veggie sampler. The Highchair was sturdy, clean and staff was friendly and playful with our little one.“
“I recently ordered Combo A and it exceeded my expectations! It was incredibly generous in portion size, easily satisfying five people. The sashimi was delightfully fresh, accompanied by a great variety of delicious side dishes. The service was exceptional, contributing to an overall wonderful experience. We left feeling super satisfied and would highly recommend it!“
“First time dining here and we were pleasantly surprised with the variety of dining options and specials. The pre-fixe choices (6 oz File, penne vodka) were both great and reasonably priced for all the food you receive. Desserts (Chocolate Mousse Pie and Tiramisu) were quite delicious! The wine selections are also good. We had very attentive service and friendly attention, without being overbearing. We would recommend and go back!“
“Certainly! Here's a more concise version:---For over 10 years, this restaurant has been our family's favorite, thanks to the friendly and professional owners who make everyone feel welcome. The food is always fresh, promising an amazing meal every time. Their wine selection is unmatched, truly the best in New Jersey. It's a rare find that continues to impress us with its consistency and quality.“
