“Delicious Peruvian food done well! Flavorful, but not too-hot spice. Big shrimp, generous portions. Tallarin verde (pesto sauce spaghetti) was good for the kids to share. Anticuchos were perfect (followed waitress's advice for medium well), as was the yuca a la huancaina, and chupe de “

“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.“

“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.“

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 !“

“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.“

“Tried this place with my family for my sister's birthday. Everything was delicious. For appetizers we tried the calamari, the mussels fra diablo, the clams and the sweet potato fries. Three different steaks were ordered along with the chicken Parmesan, and a lamb that was the daily special. Nothing disappointed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially because I will definitely be going back.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I've been going to Rumba Cubana for years and I've been to most of their locations. The food is always good, served hot, and the customer service is always great. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience (and I'm really picky when going out to eat)“

“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!???“

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.“

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. Bengal Spice will always have a special place in my heart for quality comfort food!Vegetarian options: The menu is labeled clearly.Dietary restrictions: This restaurant has made necessary changes if needed to my order to accommodate my dietary needs.Parking: There’s a free parking lot in the plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat here with their families.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wheel-chair accessible.“

“My wife and I are serial Axton Take-out folks... we finally made it a point to dine-in and it couldn't have been better. Francesca made us feel as if we were dining at my home town in Italy and the food was amazing. She is the best. Most experienced waitresses in the industry. Would recommend Axton's to anyone. As a matter a fact I sent my grandparents here (off the boat) and they loved it. If you can impress an Italian with Italian food... you WIN!! Love Axton's !!Parking: Plenty of parking“

You certainly won’t be disappointed if you go here.“

“We moved to Bloomfield 7 years ago and I've seen this steak house all the time but never tried it out..... I wish we had went sooner!! Not only was the service excellent, different waiters and waitresses checked up on us periodically as well as our own waitress while we dined. I had the rib eye no bone (excellent and evenly cooked) with fries and my wife had the filet mignon with cream spinach. We had the empanadas for an appetizer and they were delicious. And for dessert, the chocolate brownie sundae..... Delicious!! The prices are probably the lowest of any steakhouse we've been too in NY/NJ and we've been to quite a few. Definitely look forward to going back a bunch of times!!!“

“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?!“

“This review is for forte pizza which is attached to the restaurant - this place has some of the best pizza in the area and even better, their service is impeccable - the female manager always goes above and beyond - they had a dinner rush one night and I was accidentally over charged a few dollars (I didn’t even realize bc it was so little) - the next day I came in and she told me that my food was on the house bc they had made a mistake on my bill the night before - I have no idea how she figured it all out bc they must have hundreds of orders throughout the night - most places would count their drawer, see it’s over and not bother to look, but she must have gone through every receipt and found out I was the bill that got over charged and made it right - they will forever get my business and a 5 star review for their business ethics (obligatory Billy Madison reference) - doesn’t hurt that the food is incredible too!!!!“

“I was there for a private event and the service was one of the best services I had at any restaurant. Everyone was professional and friendly, from the hostess to the bartender and servers. I can’t remember the names of the servers but they made my experience at Ruth Chris one of the best experiences at any restaurant. I will return to that restaurant and that says a lot because I live 2 hours away lol. Thank you all for the experience“

“Came here with the family for a quick lunch and the pizza was fantastic. The service was exceptional and everyone was so friendly. The dining room and dinner menu look great and I can't wait to go back for dinner. Very happy I found this place.“

“Me and my family came here for my Mom Birthday. The food, Drinks, and Hookah was great! Good music for the most part. Our server Bernice was absolutely amazing. Thank you for being you! ? I will be back.Parking: Come a little earlier to find parking for your reservation.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Had dinner here last night. Delicious, innovative menu. Try the crispy duck crostini, duck fat patatas bravado. Everything we had was great.And our server, Melissa, could not have been more helpful.Highly recommended (as are, reservations - this place is popular and gets busy).And, it’s BYOB!“

“It has been awhile since I’ve had Ethiopian food so it was a treat to finally visit Mesob for a birthday dinner. We arrived at 8pm and there was no hesitation from the staff to warmly welcome us in. Although it took some time for our order to be taken, the waitstaff was friendly and respectful. Since we warned in advance on the menu that our order would take about 20 minutes, we just relaxed and enjoyed the vibe in the restaurant. Though the entrance is small, there are plenty of tables inside and roomy. Well, the food was wonderful! I had the meat sampler that included veggie sides and my partner had a lamb dish. We decided to have both our orders on a huge platter for sharing. All of it was so flavorful and, frankly, it’s fun to scoop the food with the injera, which is like a sourdough pancake like (but not) flat bread. You really have to try it to understand what it’s like. The lamb dish was especially delicious as the meat was tender inside and crispy on the outside. Honestly, everything was so good and there is so much of it. We took leftovers home although not the injera that was underneath the veggies and meat, as it got soggy. Oh, they give a separate plate of injera for the scooping. Definitely was worth the visit!Parking: Go to the side streets for parking and it’s free in the later evening.“

“We opted for the “Full Experience” option and it did not disappoint. The buffet options (i.e. salad, hummus, rice, black beans, etc.) was decent. The meat options were delicious and included sirloin, bacon wrapped steak, lamb, lamb chops, chicken, and several other options. The cocktail menu was also good and they have a full bar. The add-on options (for an additional price) includes large shrimp cocktail which was tasty.“

“I was there last night 3/30 to have the Whiting and French fries. At first I was very disappointed when I realized they didn't have anymore of this special "pink sauce" that tastes amazing. But when I got in the car and tasted that fish, it was fresh, well-seasoned, and tasted just as good with or with out the sauce. I will definitely be returning.“

“Went for dinner and drinks with a friend. Made a reservation and they were ready for us when we arrived. Prompt and friendly service. Sam is just superb he made clear understanding about the menu which I appreciated. Good menu options. We ordered an app, 3 entrees and drinks and received quickly. Hummus, Mast-O-Moosir and Panir-Sabzi was awesome! Chicken Sultani and Shrimp Kebob were authentic in every bite and a good portion. Baklava and other desserts were generous. Excellent experience! Thank you Sam !!“

“The food was amazing. I had the grouper fish with smoked tomatoes, parmesean risotto and broccoli. I drink a pineapple martini made with fresh pineapple juice garnished with fresh pineapple. The wait staff was attentive and not annoying, allowing my husband and I to converse and enjoy the meal.“

“First time at Michael’s Salumeria today. Found it by accident. We were just driving by and saw the panettones on display through the window. We bought a chicken Parmesan sandwich, etc. Great taste. Excellent service. We’ll be back for sure. ?“

“It's quite an experience! It's not just a restaurant where they serve you dinner, it's the people who make up the barbecue community that make you feel special! Being Colombian, I am transported to Mexico and I enjoy its culture! Thank you ! Asadero Mexican grill“

“Definitely a seafood lovers destination. The wait time can be long sometimes but its well worth it. I'd rather wait for excellent food than get mediocre food on demand. The staff is awesome and so are the owners. Its always a pleasure going there to eat. See you guys real soon. (Getting hungry)“

“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.“
