“The service and atmosphere were excellent and the food was very good. The scallop and octopus appetizers were excellent. Duck entree was well above average. The bread pudding for dessert was also delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Girls night out for a friend's birthday was a great time. Stephen S was our waiter and he was a sweetheart who was very attentive and personable. Food and drinks were delish. Dessert was soooo good. Cheese cake and chocolate cake recommended. Put sparklers in for the birthday girl—so fun!Would definitely go back.“
“I’m hesitant to even write a review because I consider this place a true hidden gem! With so many options in the area I find myself forgetting about Turtle & Wolf until after my recent visit it sprang to the top of my list!I went for a birthday celebration and my friends and I shared a bunch of dishes. Everything was so well executed, the portions were generous and we just had such a lovely evening. Cannot pass on this adorable BYOB.“
“My wife and I walked into LK for the first time and the hostess greeted us and said "sit anywhere you'd like".....what restaurant ever says that, we were hooked right away. We both shared a caesar salad, it was delicious. My wife ordered pasta with sausage. That too was delicious, I had the pasta with cherry tomatoes and crab meat, absolutely delicious. When our order came, we immediately got fresh pepper and before I could even ask for fresh cheese, a gentleman was waiting behind me with the cheese. I mean, c'mon the place has a great food, great service and a nice chill atmosphere. I think we just found our go-to restaurant.“
“We had early reservations tonight and we were the first diners. When we walked in the waitress told us that we had to be done in 90 minutes. My wife and I are fairly quick eaters. But when I hear something like that it can suck the enjoyment out of the dining experience.Putting that aside, we had great appetizers and main dishes. The deserts were not on par with the previous two courses.We have eaten at Bloom several times since the summer time and had enjoyed it. I don’t think that we will be rushing back.“
“I've been looking for a local, full service coffee shop that roasts their own beans, sells coffee/espresso, as well as offers breakfast and lunch.**This IS that place**I couldn't tell from their website, but the posts I saw on insta showed that they serve food, and I'm happy to report that it tastes as good as it looks!Very friendly staff and accommodating. Although it's currently the middle of December, I wanted a macchiato over ice, which wasn't on their menu, but when I asked they happily said 'of course'.Seems like I'm going to have to sign up for their points system because I can tell I'm going to be back here a whole lot more.I'm particularly interested in sampling their beans, just wish i didn't have to buy an entire bag of beans. Why don't these local roasters sell sample packs, allowing you to still purchase a pound of beans, but separated into small batches with samples of each bean type? This would allow me to quickly figure out which bean I want to try without having to buy a single large bag and take a month to go through coffee I don't really like before trying the next type . . . Or maybe i should start roasting my own beans and do this method . . .Anyways, I really like the space they have, they've really made the most of it, very cozy and inviting.Can't wait to go back“
“One of the best taco places In NJ right after you cross the Verrazano Bridge We were on our way back to VA, we were craving some authentic Mexican food and homemade guacamole which I love so much We didn't choose wrong. The tacos were so good the customer service was excellent I couldn't say more about the owner Shea was very nice to my kids She even gives them free candy Next time we go back to NY, we are coming back again and trying the Birria I recommend this place“
“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.“
“We were a party of 3 for Easter dinner, our first time here. It was packed but the friendly and competent staff was able to accommodate a table change for us to a booth which was much appreciated. Our sewer was friendly and informative. The menu has wonderful options. The tuna tartare appointment was big enough for all of us to enjoy without filling up too much so we could enjoy our perfectly cooked lamb loin and scallop entrees. Desserts were sweet and delicious and the presentation was brilliant. I will steal the idea for my next dinner party!“
“Wonderful experience. We had no idea what to order, so Modupe (the owner) surprised us. I only wish I could have eaten more! My daughter who can be picky was so happy with her shrimp and fries that she drew Modupe a picture. Highly recommend!!“
“I have to say I really enjoy The Thirsty Turtle. Although it's a sports bar and you think it might just be cool to watch a game, the food and staff are excellent and professional. We went the other night and met friends for dinner and it was a fantastic experience! The waiter, (I don't remember his name), but he memorized our order and everything came out perfect! We had appetizers, burgers, beer & drinks, and enjoyed everything we ate and drank. I also have to call out Manny who went above and beyond in helping me. He is smart and knows how to treat customers. Any establishment should be lucky to have him!“
“Definitely a five star experience!!! We arrived just before happy hour ended (4-5:30) and they were kind enough to place a quick order of oysters!!! They were super fresh and delicious... favs were west coast (sorry NJ). Next, came the Parker rolls!!! Probably my favorite part of the meal, but then again, who doesn't like homemade, freshly baked rolls with buttered top and a touch of salt!!! Because everything looked so good, we opted for a bunch of other appys to start! The New Zealand angus beef bites were served with horseradish aioli and a Parker roll, the halloumi cheese was accompanied by orange slices, prosciutto, radicchio and dehydrated olives. The octopus was spectacular... crispy with romanesco sauce, fried chickpeas, cilantro and paprika breadcrumbs. Of course, we had to also try the OHS mussel pot... with chorizo, saffron, garlic cream, sun dried tomatoes... and an herbed garlic roll on top!!! LOVED THEM ALL! It's not often that so many different, but complimentary flavors are presented in each dish!!! We could have stopped our meals there and would have been pleasantly satisfied and full! Next, we chose a couple of the sirloin sandwiches with fries, and the squid ink pasta with Calabrian chili and Meyer lemon breadcrumbs!!! All was very good. The evening was finished with 3 of their delicious desserts... the lemon meringue tart was the perfect sweet with a pucker. The molten dark chocolate cake was decadent. And the trio of gelatos were each so uniquely flavorful and delicious! Wow!!! Given that 100 steps is a BYOB, it makes everything even more affordable! We had spectacular service in this beautiful restaurant with amazing food! It was quite a special evening!“
“I was impressed with this restaurant, we enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance and service. I came for a business lunch. Ate inside the porch area that was enclosed. I thought the service was very good in terms of attentiveness. The food we got was flat bread pizza for appetizer, pepperoni with hot honey was delicious. The burger tasted great cooked perfectly when I ordered a medium, presentation was nice as I ordered a salad instead of French fries. Most importantly they had Aqua Pana for water. I did think the prices were a bit inflated and expensive however their service made up for it.“
“Had lunch here with my wife earlier today. Very nice setting here. Nice waitstaff. Ozzi was great. We ordered 2 lunch specials: lentil soup, chicken Marsala, penne alla vodka, with some junior cheesecake for dessert. We had no complaints. Thought everything was great.“
“I’m always hungry to try new burger spots and this definitely hits the spot. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and it DID NOT disappoint. The place is clean and customer service is great all around. Highly recommend to any burger lover out there!“
“As a regular customer of the restaurant, I have always admired Danielle's dedication to excellent service and flavorful dishes. So, when it came time to plan my daughter's graduation party in the park for 100 guests, I knew exactly who to trust for catering - Danielle and her team!Right from the start, Danielle proved herself to be a true professional. Punctuality is often overlooked, but not with Danielle's catering service. She arrived on time and fully prepared to set up without any hiccups or excuses. The efficiency and seamless coordination of her staff were remarkable, allowing me to step away from the setup for an hour, knowing that everything was in capable hands.One aspect that truly impressed me was Danielle's attention to detail and foresight. The unpredictable weather forecast made us anxious about rain during the event, but Danielle had it all under control. Her team was prepared with umbrellas for the grill, ensuring that rain wouldn't dampen the spirits of our guests or the grilling process.As the party unfolded, the compliments from my guests started pouring in. They were captivated by the impeccable presentation and, most importantly, the outstanding quality of the food. Danielle's catering service offered a delectable range of dishes that catered to different tastes and dietary preferences, leaving every guest satisfied and asking for more.I can't express how many guests requested Danielle's contact information for their upcoming events. It's a testament to her exceptional catering service, which not only impressed me, a seasoned customer, but also left a lasting impression on everyone at the party.Without a doubt, I will be hiring Danielle for all my future events. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and delectable creations guarantee a successful and memorable occasion. If you're searching for a catering service that goes above and beyond, look no further than Danielle's. I can vouch for her excellence, and I am confident you'll be just as delighted as I am.“
“Always love the food here, classic bar food along with some Irish specials and creative fusion dishes. I've never had anything bad from them. Service is always pretty good never had a bad experience. Love coming here with my family for special occasions but the bar scene is pretty popular too if that's more your speed. Highly reccomend!“
“Tried out this place recently and the food there was delicious.aloo paratha here is just amazing super flavorful amristsari kulcha We also ordered their item daal makhni and mix vegetables it was the best decision because every bite felt scrumptious.Definitely worth visiting!“
“We love Luna Stella - such an underrated gem right in the heart of Maplewood! Cute outdoor patio/garden area in the back with plenty of seating, and the food is always excellent, as is the service. We've never had a bad meal here and will continue going back, especially when the weather is nice and we're looking for an outdoor dining spot!“
“Went there Saturday before concert.Atmosphere was excellent. The staff was excellent, first time there. Our server was very helpful with our questions. The drink selection was great. We ordered the crispy cola wings, great flavor but wings were over cooked and dried. The Chicago pizza was excellent, I order a sausage and ricotta pizza. My wife order mushrooms and truffle pasta, it was excellent. I found it better than the pizza. Great place and will return very soon.“
“THIS PLACE IS PHENOMENAL!!!!The other day I went to, Village Street Eatery, for breakfast. It was absolutely amazing! I got their Corn Beef Hash Breakfast Wrap & on a separate occasion I got their Taylor Ham, Egg, & Cheese with extra meat and three eggs. Both items were a real treat! Their Taylor Ham, Egg, & Cheese was really really tasty, and the Taylor Ham had a wonderful crisp to it accompanied by a lovely crunch around around the edges. The best of the two was the Corn Beef Hash Breakfast Wrap! The Corn Beef was extremely flavorful and the potatoes they added to the wrap were seasoned and tender. The Corn Beef Hash Breakfast wrap is an exemplary to-go breakfast item. I thoroughly enjoyed both! The staff is really kind, and the customer service was amazing. The ambiance is impeccable as well too, makes you want to sit down and enjoy your breakfast. I would HIGHLY recommend, Village Street Eatery, to anyone in the Maplewood area. Their Corn Beef Hash Breakfast Wrap is a must try!“
“The food here is sooo delicious!! Tried it tonight with my husband and we highly recommend it. The sandwich bread is perfect (usually my husband is super picky about that) and they’re super generous with the portions. We got the Oreo milkshake too and omg it was so yummy. Try it!! 10/10. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.“
“Best breakfast in Newark! Legendary spot! Every time I come to my hometown, I try my hardest to make it here! All of the food is amazing! The staff is personable, fun, and easy to talk to. My family and I love us some Mr. Burgundys!I normally scrap the plate but this morning baby !! That food was soooo good!I’m like I need to write a review !“
“Overall our brunch was very good with a couple of minor issues. The banquettes need cleaning, the juices in the cocktails weren't shaken thus making the drinks watery and not full flavored. I sent mine back and the waiter brought me another quickly. The food was good. We will come back for dinner in the future.“
“Everything was great. The only negative was we booked a reservation weeks in advance and were seated at a high table like a walk in. Would have thought we would have been in the actual dining rooms. Especially when a walk in waited 30 minutes to be walked to a regular table during our dinner.“
“The food is just so amazing. My family and I go here for breakfast even though it’s out of our way. The service and staff is the best. Get there early or risk waiting, because everyone who go there once knows that Sweet Basil is the best.“
“Royal Taste Restaurant offers an explosive Jamaican culinary experience. The jerk chicken, boasting an authenticity level of 876%, delivers a flavorful punch. The curry goat mesmerizes with its aromatic buzz and rich taste, while the oxtail seals the deal on satisfaction. The well-executed fried chicken adds another layer of delight. With an extensive menu, this spot promises a continued journey of delectable discoveries. A must-visit for those craving an authentic taste of Jamaican cuisine.“
“The food was great. I recommend getting the lobster fettuccine, short rib, and spicy calamari. We walked-in on a Friday night at 6pm and luckily we were able to get a table but I'm sure if we came later we might have had to wait so I would recommend getting a reservation since this seems like a popular place. My kids seemed to really enjoy the food too especially the desserts! You have to try the cinnamon roll bread pudding a la mode! ? If nothing else, get the bread pudding.“
“There were a couple of parties going on, with children who were loud. The restaurant is loud! But the food was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, but besides wishing her a happy birthday as we signed in, nothing "special" was done. They did not have the ribs that were on the menu, and that was a bit of a disappointment.“
“Excellent food, exceptional service! This gem is absolutely fantastic- the staff are amazing and the food quality is top notch! This was an experience from the moment you sit down. Not only is the food delicious but the plating is beautiful. We were a party of 6 who tried nearly everything on the menu.. every bite was outstanding from the appetizers to the dessert. Chef Brian makes you feel at home and made us repeat customers for sure!“
“We recently held a memorial service for my father at The Old Canal Inn. Mark and his staff were professional, detail oriented, and kind. The food and atmosphere were incredible. They welcomed us and our guests like family. My dad loved to go there for a beer and I understand why. I will visit there every time I am back in the area from Massachusetts. I can't recommend The Old Canal Inn highly enough.“
“We had a wonderful dining experience. It can be hard to dine with two babies and yet the staff made us very welcome and gave us a comfortable seat in a huge booth. The service was excellent-- our server, Megan, went out of her way to make everything perfect. We tried the pizza and some sushi rolls: everything was delicious and we highly recommend both! Also recommend the red sangria...its just the right combination of sweetness and alcohol!“
“Friendly service, nice wine selection and amazing food sums up our experience. I have eaten here once before a while back and I remember liking the food, but our meal was truly delicious! We will be back more. Some favorites included the calamari, meatballs, veal Milanese and pasta with short ribs.“
“Amazing from start to finish. From the warm welcome, amazing bartenders and courteous, attentive service the hospitality was impeccable. The owner is visible on site and engaged in creating a fabulous evening for his guests. We felt special spending our anniversary at summit house. The new menu is focused, creative and sublimely delicious. Truly unique and left us planning our next visit before we left the table.“
“I visited Just Jake’s on a Friday evening for a live band performance and had a good time. There are no waiters, tables or chairs, just a big dance floor near the stage and a bar so everybody was dancing and having fun. There was a $8 cover charge and the price of the drinks were reasonable. Staff was friendly and it was easy and quick to get drinks.“
“Had a fun girls night out here. Delicious food especially the burgers. The Pretzel appetizer is a must if you plan on drinking! We went on a Friday night and enjoyed the karaoke. The staff was really nice. You can play pool or darts. Great night out or dinner spot!“
“Cheese steak sandwich was amazing. Definitely worth coming back and trying other meals out. Update: have been coming here for lunch and I just have to say the lunch specials are amazing. Great food! Large tv for viewing sports or news. They always have fresh ingredients and drinks are nice and cold. Will keep coming here. Keep up the good service. Parking is always out front on the building. They don't have a parking lot“
“The Highlawn made my twin daughters’ B’Mitzvah a huge success. The place and view are spectacular, the food is outrageous, and Gianna who booked us and Jose the banquet manager were so accommodating and flexible. They bent over backwards to answer all my questions and make my vision happen. The party was amazing and the guests are still calling to tell me how amazing The Highlawn was. Such a great experience working with such professionals!!!!I would recommend The Highlawn for any party, large or small!“
“Very good food. Service was good too. Ambience and decor is routine, standard place. We went with work groups for a team dinner. Food was really good.Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian items available on the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair accessible entrance. However some seating sections inside are in a raised platform.“
“This was my first time eating from here and the food was fantastic. I would have given this place 5 stars, however they really need to update their menu online. In the picture below I ordered the teriyaki, chicken, and shrimp with rice. They gave me some vegetables on the side which was sautéed very well.“
“Solid Poke place. Food is fresh & customizable with a decent variety that you might expect for a Poke place including a few extras (Mango, Seaweed salad, and plenty of sauces). Service is fast and accurate to your order. I've never had an ingredient missing nor any complaints of less than expected. The store itself is barebones minimal decoration with some wall attached table tops to eat at and not much else but I hardly eat in and prefer takeout.One minor issue is the 16 Oz bowls they use can be quite difficult to separate the lid from the bowl. It's not normally a prolonged problem with some work but I've had a number of instances with older adults not being able to remove the lid because of the lack of any way to grip the lid or bowl separately. This could be remedied with a simple tab on the lid and bowl but they just don't have it.Either case, Orgreen is a solid take out place with decent ingredients and nice variety. Service is fast & accurate. Each meal will fill you up nicely.“
“Harvest Bistro is absolutely incredible! This has been a favorite lunch spot of ours for years. We also recently worked with them to cater my son's baptism party and we were so impressed. Every single guest commented on how delicious the food was. Several people even told us it was the best food they had ever had from a caterer. Tushar is so helpful and easy to work with too. We'll definitely be going back to Harvest Bistro for all of our future parties!“
“If you want to feel like family have good food and enjoy a great atmosphere especially during any holiday ( they always go all out on decorations)then you must dine here. I enjoyed the garlic clams and Delmonico Steak. The staff are friendly and always welcoming and the drinks are made to perfection.Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area . Bon Appetit“
“Went back to Fin after not having been there in a while. I’m happy to see it’s still as good as always. The oysters (1/2 price on Tuesday) were fresh and the freshly grated horseradish and the frozen mignionette were perfect accompaniments. The spicy cannoli tuna appetizers were outstanding. Entrees of wood-fire grilled orange roughy over escarole/beans and grilled jumbo shrimp over pineapple-mango rice did not disappoint! Our server , Melina, was extremely attentive and professional. Love that it’s BYO.Parking: Parking deck directly behind restaurant. Free after 6:00 pm and on Sundays. Nominal fee otherwise“
“I wish our daughter wasn’t our youngest child so we could throw another bat mitzvah at 4Sixty6!!! Everything was perfect! Your staff, your coordination, the food - everything exceeded our expectations! It really was a magical night. Thanks again for everything and it really was a pleasure working with all of you.“
“Excellent lamb gyro meal for lunch. Friendly counter staff who took my order. It is self searing after you order. Seats/tables were OK but don’t expect spotlessly clean tables. Bathroom was clean. Good place for lunch.Parking: Next door to Quikchek so you might have to park a little bit away from Quikchek.“
“Service was great. Polite and prompt. Bread served to the table and drinks promptly served. I had a simple dish of Mezzo Rigatoni Vodka and it was very good. Had cannoli for dessert and it was fantastic. I would recommend and return to try other menu items.“
“Amazing service . I placed the order by phone from Miami , they were so willing to assist me and delivery to my son’s workplace ! Everything on time . Empanadas and ajicito?you made everybody happy at IKEA ? Great service ! Super recommend!“
“The food was very good. I order a burger and fries and the hat kitchen sampler which was very very good. I recommend the latter with what ever you order. The crowd was mixed age and very friendly. The bar maid could have been a little more attentive to my order request as that was my first time there, you know what they say about first impressions. The music was on point. There's also two pool tables and a dart board for your pleasure. An for those who partake there are hookah pipes available too.Suggestion to the owner place a message on the answering machine stating time and days of operation. I almost didn't go because no one answered the phone as I'm not from the neighborhood but I took a chance glad I did. If ever I found myself in orange again I will surely stop by for a bite and to whip some tail on the pool table. LOL!!!“
“The Carriage House Restaurant is literally steps from the PaperMill Playhouse. Great to stop in prior to a performance. The atmosphere is best described as "cozy and rustic". I've stopped in about 2-3 times for drinks and appetizers. The food has always been very tasty. Little on the pricey side. On a positive note, you're only a few steps away from the theater. As of now, I've had Chicken Sausage Appetizers and a Steak Quesadilla. Nice wine and cocktail list. We've enjoyed their wine and cocktails on a previous visit. In December '23, I had an issue making reservations. Left two telephone messages and never received a call back. I couldn't even make a reservation on Opentable or Resy. We stopped in and informed the hostess of the issue. Anyway, we ended up eating at the bar. The Carriage House Restaurant does offer Cabaret and Murder Mystery shows.“
