“Not sure if I should give it 3 or 4 stars because it was good and it’s a really nice restaurant, but for the price … you should not want to eat something after you leave! My husband went to McDonald’s afterwards because he was hungry after spending 300 on dinner. The fact that bread and dessert wasn’t included in that is wild. I never ever finish a meal. I always have food to take home. And I basically licked all three of my plates clean. Nothing to take home. And nothing was really that great either.“

Seated, given water and cocktail request taken. Drinks came shortly after (and were very good). Food orders taken and away we go! Appetizer came out, which I thought was small, but once tasted, I could tell ingredients were quite fresh. Entrees arrived and were very good. Ended the night with their mixed berry rice pudding, it was a great finale. I would give this place my stamp of approval. Check it out sometime.“

Service was great from waitress coming around for drink orders. They had orange whiskey for my fav orange whiskey mule! I and the coworkers I spoke to would have preferred not having the lights dimmed as it was way too dark and there was no need for such "mood" lighting.“

“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“

On wednesday night we went there for dinner before our show, We had some leftovers and the staff offered to hold them for us.And we could pick them up after the show. Sadly, our show finished late, and they were closed. We called the next day and spoke to the manager.Alex and the owner Mark both were incredibly gracious and apologetic. At my door tonight, They just delivered two entrees and a salad! Absolutely stellar Customer service!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️Many thanks!!“

The bacon wrapped jalapeños were a fantastic appetizer. They were spicier than expected and we loved them. The margarita flight is a must get. We love them frozen and our favorites were coconut and passion fruit. The burrito with bacon wrapped shrimps was delicious!!

I was delightfully surprised when the cook on my burger was exactly what I asked for (medium), but it wasn't perfect because the burger was bland. The fries were absolutely amazing though!

Was a little disappointed by the Fried Calamari and Zucchini shared plate. The taste was on point but not enough calamari and too much zucchini. Wish they just served the fried calamari alone. Grilled Caesar salad was delicious and unique.No doubt, I will be coming back for the pizza and will have to try the other pizza offerings. One of the best pizza places I've been to in Jersey“

The Branzino Livornese (Mediterranean sea bass in a light tomato sauce with olives, capers, and onions) was phenomenal! The portions really are so large that they can be shared!“
