“Came here to have a wine tasting with my boyfriend and his friend. As I walk in the interior design is very cool. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Tonight wine tasting is from Sicily and the brewer is here tonight. It was a pleasure seeing him and how he explaining where the wine was from. We order a charcuterie while we taste the wine. Would recommend people to come and visit this place.“
“We really enjoyed the visit. First time. Miguel was fabulous and the presentation amazing. A beautiful restaurant and wonderfully flavored foods. Grilled octopus amazing. Focaccia (2 kinds) so good! On and on. Everything was great finished with afogatto!“
“My boyfriend made reservations to Del Porto to celebrate my 43rd Birthday. This was our 1st time visiting this restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. The staff are all nice especially our server Fermin. He was very pleasant and always had a warm smile. Our food was very delicious from the appetizer, crispy eggplant ,to my main course Bronzino and to my Tahitian Creme Brulee desert. I loved this restaurant and my experience here. I would definitely recommend to all. Very nice and classy look.Parking: Valet parking is available.“
“The Chimi pizza was bomb! The dough was baked just right not too burnt not too soft perfect and crunchy.Don’t get me started on the Dominican Pizza. It was so good it took me back to thanksgiving with my aunt who makes it perfectly. It took me back home and almost made me search the kitchen for my aunt?.Owner was great interacted with us and made conversation very genuine and warm welcomingParking: Parking was pretty decent. Not great not badKid-friendliness: Music was clean and up beat“
“Amazing!!!! This place is for beautiful, delicious food with personalized service that will leave you with warm memories.We held a party and all the guests were praising food and all 19 members of our party chose different entree. Broad menu , delicious cocktails ( drinks were amazing - we were competing / challenging bar- and were so excited to receive beautiful composition of flavors). Big servings - enough to feed 2 people! They were very accommodating- they offered to open for our party an hour earlier - just for us to have some personal family time - WHO WOULD DO THAT!?! Once we walked in - we were offered to take off and hang our outwear. Warm welcome made us feel especially important! Only thought kept our servers away from us. They were on their toes above our table - and some moments were felt - they are reading my mind.Great for special occasions and beautiful food to have !! We all will definitely come back again!!!Thank you guys for memorable evening !!!!“
“High in the clouds atop the historic pine st building, Saga restaurant has one of the best views in the city.When we arrived up the elevator, we were greeted by the bar and served an aperitif treat from a selection of fruity or herbal flavors.We were then taken to our table. The menu is pretty straightforward with a couple of choices - we had a choice of entree (we chose the duck tagine which saga is famous for) and we could also add on a truffle risotto course.Our first bite was a foam topped abalone beautifully served in the shell. This was the followed by a bento box of fresh seafood and vegetable bites. The idea was a 'choose your own adventure' and combine the seafood on crackers, or lettuce leaves with sauces to your liking.We also had a foie gras dish, and a scallop pudding dish with caviar, bone marrow, and lobster in Singaporean chilli style, before the main event of the duck. Served family style, we had two large dishes of duck with vegetables and pancake style breads and sauces to make into wraps. I loved the interactivity but was slightly concerned I wouldn't have the best combination of flavors in every bite. The food was messy and needed a good wipe of my hands after!For dessert we enjoyed the ice cream and crumble.We also got the discovery wine pairing and every single pairing was spot on (which is rare for a long tasting menu).Great spot!“
“First time visit to this restaurant. Our server Alina was exceptional - made great recommendations. The service was on point. The staff is very efficient. I loved my drink "Pineapple Jalapeno Mockarita". The crab cake, the best we have ever had - no fillers, just fresh crab meat. It's even better than the ones you get in Alaska. Other dishes we ordered including Branzino, Halibut were delicious as well. Portions are big. Next time, we are going to try the salads, we have heard they are great. Memorable experience. Would love to go back.“
“This restaurant is a gem! Our group of 7, gathering for a bit of a reunion of family friends, had a wonderful Saturday evening. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. It’s a limited menu but has great selections that anyone will find a nice entree. The food is simply delicious. The wine list is simple and compliments the menu too. The bartended also makes very nice cocktails. You can’t go wrong here!“
“Walked in on a Tuesday night and had a great time! Very cozy/romantic vibe- tried 3 wines (including a great Lambrusco) and all were great. Well priced, friendly service and again… super cozy. Also excellent gluten free /vegetarian options if you’re into that. We will definitely come back.“
“Highly recommend Ita Italian Kitchen in JC for a memorable dinner outing ( and for my gf and I, thats very hard to come by since we are very picky and foodies!). The dining experience at Ita Italian Kitchen is delightful, with standout dishes like beef bolognese, antipasto with olives and cheese, and clams that are sure to impress your taste buds! Don't miss out on trying their espresso martini(though got mine with house tequila), a real highlight of their drink menu. While some drinks may lean towards being too sweet, the overall experience at Ita Italian Kitchen is excellent and perfect for a special dinner outing! Service was immaculate.“
“Went here with my girlfriend last weekend and had a wonderful time. The food is always delicious and everyone is so friendly. Our server, Adil, really made our experience here outstanding! When we come back we hope he takes care of us again because we were so impressed at how well he did his job! Thank you for such a wonderful brunch.“
“fyi-this restaurant does have a bar which is something I couldn’t easily tell from the reviews and overview or website.scroll through the reviews or don’t waste your time and just go and enjoy some delicious food in a nice atmosphere.I’ve been wanting to go and try their cheese plate and some of the other small dishes for quite a while, and went tonight for a special occasion - so glad we did! It was a lovely dinner for my father’s birthday. And through March they have a special restaurant week pre-fixe with many options.Charming restaurant, excellent service, impressive extensive menu including small plates, shareable plates, different types of meatballs, entrees (of course) and a small dessert selection. The desserts were outstanding, the dishes we had were great, and the servers were sweet and helpful without being overbearing. the back room was a little chilly for my party, but fine for me.thank you guys! i look forward to returning and trying some more dishes!“
“Live around the corner and came for dinner for the first time. Serving staff were lovely and attentive and the owner (I assume) was on tables and checking in, very friendly. We enjoyed the food a lot, and the wine was very reasonably priced. The duck was especially good. Ambiance is great too.“
“Quaint little cafe with excellent pastries and bread.Ordered a Croque Madame (with egg) and French Toast to share and both were lovely. I could tell the brioche and croissants would be lovely too.It is a small cafe and they only serve walk-ins. Hence it is not advisable to come in a group more than 4.“
“Casa d'paco in ❤️I would give 10 stars to this place if I could.Service was awesome, staff is really friendly and helpfull, always smiling.The food is out of this world, we loved everything we ate, it was delicious, the best food we had during this 9-days trip in USA.“
“Delicious food! My partner enjoyed the sliders while I savored the chicken sandwich; both were bursting with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Mauricio, our waiter, was impressively knowledgeable about the wine selection, offering perfect recommendations and attentive service. A must-stop gem for travelers!“
“Apparently Sunday nights here is Jazz night. I was invited by a band which I have known for about 3 years in another place and just happened to reach out the week before to see if they were still performing. Low and behold Delia's Lounge! Had never heard of it before but it is known to ne know and with a bang.Parking can sometimes be challenging in this area, I was lucky to find one only 2 short away. As I approached Delia's, I did not hear a thing and thought maybe wrong day? It seems Delia's has good sound suppression for this residential and small business neighborhood! The band was sound checking when I arrived, and I greeted all of them. Their entourage was on the opposite of the entrance. I found a single seat near the bar. The place was really packed, and the waitress was running around trying to take care of the many tables and loungers. After a couple of songs, Greg approached me, and that's all she wrote. After meeting him, I felt like family!!! He took such good care of me. I asked him for a dry wine and boom it was there. Maggie, the waitress, came around and again family service. I was hungry and wanted to eat a little healthier. Greg told me about the chicken skewers and the 3 sauces you can choose. I picked the Thai sauce with a little spice kick. I also wanted a salad and he mentioned his Caesar salad was really good. I gobbled up both leaving little. It was fresh and prepared well. I saw most people got the burger or the portobello burger. The young lady next to me got a combo of both. I think I will try that next time!!! This place has a very atmosphere. The people are friendly and make you feel at home. My only problem? I wish I had discovered this pace earlier!!!“
“I’m a local who’s been living in Tribeca for 5 years now and this is my staple dinner location! I take my friends, family, and business partners here and enjoy it every time! The food is always perfect, superb wine selections, and outstanding customer service! It’s a traditional NYC experience. First time getting the burger tonight with all the topping and it was extra perfection!**Top location for restaurant week too!**“
“Looking for a jazzy bar with yummy cocktails where you can enjoy conversations with friends or lovers… this is it. The only place I’ve found in Bay Ridge. They are also partnered with the restaurant next door if you’re hungry. Everything is delish! Plus at the end of your night you get a round of free risqué jokes from the charismatic moustached gentleman. Cheers!“
“Had such a nice time here !! First time at American dream mall. Came on a Saturday early afternoon for a quick drink. Service was amazing . Wait staff was super friendly and accommodating , 10 out of 10 . I’ll be back again because the vibes are amazing !! The wine selection was great, I loved the sangria “
“Haven't been here in a while, but I organized a repast for my Dad. Very close to Holy Cross cemetery. Service and food were excellent. Had wheelchair ramp for my Mom, which was important.Parking: Large parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Outdoor ramp with portable indoor ramp.“
“The food was good so were the drinks but the service was amazing! Stayed at Arlo and went up for the rooftop multiple nights because of how the experience was! Every bartender and the bar manager were welcoming and got to know us. They went above and beyond for us- definitely would come back.“
“My mom and I had an amazing time. Ms.Burley was very energetic, optimistic, brilliant and she can hold a good conversation. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking for a good wine tasting class in the Essex County area.I made reservations for my mom and I through Groupon (Being Cheap Lol“
“Stop by Thursday night for the first time after work. I was very surprised and impressed from the moment I arrived. Very upscale and elegant place with alot of attention to detail, with a very warm relaxed feeling and a very inviting cozy mood ambience.The service and food was phenomenal and Jorge, the bartender/manager was great, also enhanced my experience, he's very detailed may me and my friend feel very special.I felt like, i was actually in Dubai. If you're looking to escape the stress from the day and week and have great night. I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.“
“Great authentic middle eastern in FiDi. Hard to find oddly. GREAT wine selection. Servers were great and knowledgeable and easy to talk to as well. Jess nailed every suggestion and her and the other server, served a very busy restaurant with ease. The manager seemed hardworking too. I'll be back. All the food we got was good. Well done kitchen.“
“We arrived a bit early for our 7pm reservation and were taken to our table fairly quickly. The staff were all very friendly, informative on the menu, and professional. The aesthetics are lovey; including the fresh flowers in the window still, bathrooms and all the dining room tables. The food was excellent. My mom loved the grapefruit Austrian beer & I enjoyed one of the Austrian dry white wines in the photo. The butternut squash soup is a must & dairy free (made of coconut milk). My mom & sister got the organic chicken and I got the cod, which was cooked perfectly & the sauces & veggies paired so well with it. The atmosphere is not too quiet and not too loud, just right. Would definitely return to bring friends here and try some other items on the menu!“
“Amazing staff!!! Everyone is super hospitable and so kind. I brought my friend here who was visiting for two nights in a row this past weekend because we had such a great time the first night. Great drinks, great atmosphere and most importantly kind people!“
“Love Gino’s! Great date night spot. Sometimes it can get a bit crowded but service is always top notch. Love running in for a quick slice or sitting down to grab dinner. The waiters are always wonderful. Great, affordable wine options and always incredible food. Highly recommend the stuffed chicken!“
“There are many options for pizza these days in NYC and LTD does it best, my go to always. Everything on the menu will leave you wanting more—had a catering order for a movie night with my girlfriends 5 stars and will be our go to moving forward!“
“The start was quite bumpy. But first of all, the ambience. Everything is very nicely done, but you have the feeling of sitting in a large ballroom. A lot could be done better with appropriate interior design.Our waiter was very polite but still very inexperienced. Our order of wine was a bit overwhelming for the young gentleman, as was the question of a sommelier. By the way, this is a real weak point of the restaurant: there is no sommelier. There is also a relatively simple wine list that only differentiates according to grape variety. It becomes a bit difficult as a wine connoisseur if all you see in the blends is the name of the winery and the wine. Very weak, especially when you also have wines worth over $500 on the menu. Nobody could really help. So thanks to the manager we tried the open wines. But a sommelier would actually be mandatory in a restaurant like this.So it took over 30 minutes before we were able to order something. And to be honest, we thought about leaving without eating here.The food came out of the kitchen quickly. And it was worth staying here. The salad as well as the raviolo for starters were excellent. The two steaks afterwards were perfectly prepared and tasted very good. Perfectly balanced roasted flavors without overpowering the meat taste. The cooking level was perfect. The dessert was just as good as everything before it.Would I go again? To be honest, I'm torn about this. On the one hand, the food was excellent, but on the other hand, the service still needs to be worked on until it is at the level it should be. Plus the missing sommelier. I also like to drink expensive red wine with my steak, but that is simply not possible here because there is no one who can really give good advice. And if I'm lucky, I don't want to order a bottle of wine for $200 plus.“

“The food here is incredible. I had the Sonoma salad with tuna. Fresh, light and yummy. This place should be Michelin rated. It was so good. My wife had the chicken sandwich. She raved about her meal too. Our server Mauricio made the meal even better with his wine recommendations.“
“I love this place. The service is amazing and the staff is friendly. I come for this sangria and stay for the conversation. Food is hardy and the prices are great. Ask for Mike the bartender.Kid-friendliness: They have chicken fingers, hamburgers mozzarell sticks and french fries for the kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on the first floor with spacious room to get through tables.“
“Food was GREAT and the service was absolutely stellar. Love the look of the place, great for date night or night out with friends. We had focaccia, calamari, Franny's house salad, chicken parm, chicken Marsala and flounder. All winners. Drinks outstanding. The olive oil cake was lovely but not like Maialino's which I love. I would definitely return, did not disappoint!“
“Frankie is the best restaurant in grove street in jersey city ! Food was amazing staff was very friendly n active they have nice cocktails ,Shagun bartender is awesome he has very good knowledge about the wine and beer kimchi chicken was so yummy n delicious it was my favorite whenever I have off days I always go there to have my dinner !“
“It's a small cozy place and we were seated in what would be sunroom or outdoor space upon arrival. It was heated for winter. Felt a tad bit hot at times when the heat bursted but I think server reduced it. For drinks we ordered lychee martini but it tasted more like lemon than lychee. For appetizer ordered spinach and artichoke dip which pita chips. It was decent in tasting but it was missing the cheese pull for me. For entree, tried the mushroom flatbread and chicken sandwich for which both were good and flavorful. I wish the appetizer came out before entires as everything came out at once. To wrap up the night we got the salted caramel espresso martini which was delicious! The service was great and we were check on frequently.“
“I hosted my sister’s baby shower here yesterday. Amanda was our party planner and she and the staff were absolutely lovely. They were DEFINITELY busy- there were almost 45 of us! But they were kind and patient and the food was delicious. The restaurant looks beautiful and we all had a lot of fun.Thanks again, Amanda and team!“
“I recently dined at this restaurant and had a delightful experience. The fried calamari and flatbread appetizers were delicious, setting a high standard for the rest of the meal. For the entree, I opted for the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The food quality was excellent, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. Apart from the food, the atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. The ambiance was inviting, and the cleanliness of the place added to the overall pleasant dining experience. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall positive vibe of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The combination of delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service makes it a standout choice.“
“Quaint and FUN. From the moment we opened the doors, we felt we were at a friend's party. Service was friendly and most attentive . Sangria was yummy. Live music nite by Sugar and Spyce. We caught ourselves time traveling. Def a gem n worthy of return visits.“
“Can't believe I never came here. The food was so good, except for the vegetarian paella...a hard pass never again. Had the mushrooms and salad, delish. And oh man, that dipping sauce they give with the bread was amazing! Sangria was ok.“
“Staple NYC steakhouse! Visited on a Thursday evening after work. Lovely holiday decorations and music. Sat upstairs, very comfy booth, super friendly waiter (gave us complimentary champagne).Food was delicious, some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. The cream spinach was very lack luster though! Lamb was flavorful and tender, lobster bisque was super creamy.“
“My favorite cousins took me to Libretti's in Orange, NJ for my birthday. The ambiance was very nice. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating (mostly). We had lunch in the afternoon so it wasn't crowded but people started to arrive as we were eating our delicious food. We had appetizers such as calamari, soup and clams. For our entree I had shrimp scampi and my cousins had filet mignon and pork chops. The only issue was my cousin wanted spinach instead of the broccoli that came with the filet mignon and the chef flat out refused to substitute. The waiter said my cousin would have to pay extra for the spinach as opposed to substituting. That made no sense and it sounded ridiculous. My cousin was annoyed since she was paying $50 for her meal. I thought that was strange that the chef refused to accommodate the customer with such a small request. The restaurant has their own parking lot located across the street from the restaurant. The restaurant is located in the cut but its easy to find. Because of the situation with the chef i would probably not go back but I would definitely recommend for the experience. Enjoy bon apetit!!Parking: The restaurant has their own parking lot located across from the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp.“
“This place is like a cozy pub, not too crowded on weekdays. They have cocktails, but they're just okay. What's really good though, are the foods!We tried their salad, buffalo chicken wings, burrata with prosciutto, and truffle fries. The wings and fries were the best, super tasty!The staff there are really friendly and nice. Plus, it's super close to the Path train and just a quick walk to the boardwalk. Great for hanging out and munching on good food!“
“I just had the best experience at Q'tal! Our server was so attentive but also gave us space to talk and catch up. She was so kind and everything she recommended was delicious. I highly recommend the jackfruit croquettes and the sliders which I love that they have vegan options for someone like me. I'm not sure of the name it was a passionfruit cosmo type drink and I didn't even realize it came out with a dry ice bubble. 10/10 for presentation on everything and ambiance. They have a dining area which feels a little more formal ( the chairs were so comfy by the way) and then a bar area with high tops which I think would be great for a girls night. I already can't wait to go back!“
