“Super cute and stylish place. You can tell they put a lot of thought behind the atmosphere, the food is absolutely delicious and the staff were very sweet and added sides with our dinner and a pastry for dessert with our coffee for free. Prices were extremely reasonable. I loved the hospitality and am so happy my husband and i decided to stop by to eat dinner. We will be ordering from here again! exquisitely tasty and great ambiance. A must try!“

“Wanted to try somewhere different and looked up on open table some restaurants and reviews. I found Hudson Square in Matawan and the pictures showed a really nice looking restaurant . I read the reviews and most were good. It had a lot of openings for a Saturday night so we decided to try it without a reservation. When we arrived there were a few cars in the parking lot. It’s Saturday night places are busy. This restaurant replaced a catering hall so the parking lot is huge. The entrance is in the back. Beautiful restaurant nice bar area. Lots of empty tables. Food was good we had meatballs , branzino ( it was the whole fish) but the waiter told me that. The chicken dish with artichokes and potatoes was a large portion. I was disappointed they did not have cucumber volka for a cucumber martini and no wine list just glasses of house wine which was good by J Lohr. Overall I enjoyed my meal and quiet atmosphere. By 930 there were just six people sitting at bar. The waiter was excellent and attentive. The bread on the table was good . Everyone should try this restaurant at least once. Prices were like everywhere else. This restaurant said they had a DJ at 930 but didn’t see one. This restaurant needs a good DJ with following and more word of mouth referrals. Also some specials. I wish him well and will come back.“

“4.5 ⭐️ I came here with my husband on a Saturday night and we loved it! We didn’t know what to expect. Also we pulled into a strip mall and were a little weary to say the least. Ended up being fantastic! We ordered the cold mixed platter, phyllos (beef). They give you a ton of pita lasting into the meal. I had the combo of falafel, chicken shish, rice. And he had lamb, beef shish saitain style(? Maybe misspelled). Everything was so delicious. No ‘funky’ pieces of any meat, very good portions. I liked the falafel but wish I doubled in chicken. Dessert - u would highly recommend the lava cake.The service is so friendly. Our waitress Toni was patient to explain the menu to us. And any person who helped or dropped off food was very nice.We will absolutely be back here. Also note it is BYOB. Nice atmosphere, clean and style was more upscale than I expected.“

“We went to Tosca Mangiano for our Anniversary on a Friday night, the food was absolutely amazing, Pulpo cooked to perfection, the gnocchi was probably one of the best I have had, my husband ordered the Bronzino and he said it was delicious! Dessert was the Almond sponge cake which was decadent! The service was not great, disappointing considering the quality of the food.“

“"I visited this place today and the food was fantastic. the chef prepared everything with care and the service was excellent. The food was freshly made and had a lovely touch of charm to it. I am thoroughly impressed with this place and I will be back. I highly recommend it to everyone."?“

“You get a very good size pita here! About the size of a biiiiig overstuffed burrito. The smoked eggplant in the falafel supreme is soooo good. Crepe was good too, it's one big crepe folded into a square instead of the usual rolls I'm used to. Definitely a share worthy size. Quick and friendly service too :)“

“I have been going to Grill Point about once a month for the past 2+ years, and I don't remember being disappointed a single time. I always get a lunch special, which is reasonably priced for the quantity and (especially) quality of food you get. The owners are really kind and involved in daily operations. The lunch appetizers are amazing, with options including homemade hummus, labne, and the best lentil soup I have ever had. The kebabs are tender and juicy, spiced to perfection. And the thin, Lebanese-style pita bread, which always comes fresh and warm, is to die for, hitting a sweet spot between soft and crispy. I have also tried their baklava before, and I have to give that a thumbs-up, as well!Overall, Grill Point is a hidden gem, truly a treasure of Route 9. Turn in at the U-Haul, and prepare to enjoy a truly wonderful Mediterranean meal.“

“Great atmosphere. Rapidly seated. Got the falafel, hummus and salsa (comes with pita but I declined). Got a plate of pickles, on the house, which were flavorful. The falafel plate was filling and flavorful. It came with five balls and it was sufficient. The hummus tasted so fresh. I had no complaints. Street parking fyi. They accept card.“

“This Greek restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly transports you to the streets of Greece. Every dish served here is prepared with such authenticity and love, showcasing the rich flavors and traditional cooking methods of Greek cuisine. Whether it's the perfectly grilled souvlaki, the flavorful moussaka, or the irresistible baklava, each bite is a true delight. I highly recommend coming here for a night out with friends or a special occasion. You won't be disappointed! ??“

“The cheesesteak was a mouthwatering delight. The beefsteak was tender and flavorful, with the perfect balance of meat and cheese. The combination of flavors and textures in this cheesesteak was simply irresistible. Each bite is a symphony of flavors coming together in a harmonious blend. If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, don't hesitate to indulge in a mouthwatering cheesesteak from Annandale Terrace.“
