“Had a wonderful brunch today at Hudson Clearwater. The smoothie was outstanding. This is a quaint rustic spot and deserves all the love for their vegan friendly menu. I chose the blackened fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. The Cole slaw on the brioche bun, lightly covered with tarter sauce, made for a perfect sandwich. Their fries were delectable as well. Great service, and a great meal with my sweetheart.“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place.

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“I went to Martha's during lunch with my colleagues. The interior is a nice vibe that fits anything from a lunch with coworkers to brunch with family. Our server did a great job of explaining the menu options. We ordered some apps and then ordered the steak frites. The steak was cooked to perfection. It also came with a nice salad, perfectly crispy French fries and we added on some very addicting garlic bread. This is definitely a spot I will be returning to!“

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Every dish at 87 Sussex was a savory journey. From delicate Escargot Wontons and Ox & Eggs to the bold Hoppin Poppers Frog Legs and sweet Barnegat Scallops—Chef Brian has redefined luxury dining.

The Braised Short Rib melted in my mouth while the Prime New York Strip and Chef's Special brought a rich, savory finish. And for dessert? Chocolate Turtle Cake, Passion Fruit Trifle, and the refreshing Sorbet & Berries.“

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Miguez at Yard House yesterday, and his service was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. He was attentive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Thank you, Miguez, for making our time at Yard House so pleasant—we’ll definitely be back because of you!“

“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10“

“Absolutely amazing gluten free food. Shared mozz sticks, truffle pizza, and homemade garganelli with vodka sauce and literally audibly mmmm-ed my way through lunch. Service was warm and friendly. Was so nice to look at a menu and be able to eat every single thing on it. Highly recommend eating here.“

“We sat at the chef’s table, and everything was amazing. Zucchini, shortbreads, pork chop, all the sides — and I’ve never been somewhere with such a focus on chartreuse. We got a flight of vintage chartreuse and it was so fun. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget. Not only did you provide exceptional service and amazing food but went above and beyond in every conceivable way to make her birthday the best one she has ever had. Best experience, food and service we have ever had. Thank you so very much.“

“My partner and I love ordering from here. We live in the neighborhood and it’s so convenient to have a place like this we can walk to for something delicious at a great price. I don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything off their menu; their pizza is the perfect Jersey pizza, their burritos are huge and taste SO fresh, and their cheeseburgers are like In N Out but WAY better quality. They also have desserts and the chocolate cake I tried was great. Love Aileen’s “

“The burger was one of the best burgers I have ever eaten!!“

“Su comida es muy buena deliciosos sándwiches excelentes bebidas 👏🏻“

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“Good food and very friendly“

“"Wonderful time! Beautiful view and amazing food! Service was exceptional"“

“Awesome music, very good wine knowledge and fresh food to die for.“

“Highly recommend Gus’ Last Word. This neighborhood establishment is cozy and chic at the same time. It is a perfect balance of retro and modern vibes. I was comforted by yummy chicken pot pie and unique cocktails. It has a lovely bar, with lounge areas, dining section and outdoor space. Shout out to the chefs, Christian the bartender and delightful Erin who provided great welcome, informed explanations of beverages and food, and great service. I will be back.“

“Saga is a 10 points experience from start to finish. It is a wonderful place to celebrate a loved one and share the experience with friends. You arrive, they meet you with a choice of two drinks, that then the waitress takes to the table.

We chose the seasonal tasting menu which goes through multiple courses. Both menus were great. They were able to accommodate a vegetarian menu as we called with time. Each of the dishes were absolutely delicious.

We also did the wine pairing, the discovery selection of wines. We tried so many incredible wines. It was totally worth.

Staff were on point every step of the way. They were super kind, accommodating and walked us through each step with kindness.

Totally recommend Saga.“

“Had the chicken sandwich - absolutely phenomenal. Cant wait to come back for an entree. My girlfriend liked her burger, home made fries were soft and crunchy with bits of coarse salt. So good. Ed the owner was so hospitable and Victoria our server was very sweet. Highly recommend for casual date night with big flavor. Will be back - definitely recommend.“

“Went here today, in absolute awe over how beautiful this restaurant is in the inside. Food was 10/10 and service was 10/10“

“My BAE and I came from Staten Island to have a date. The entire staff and food were amazing! We didn’t ask to see the chef, but if we did, we would say…YOU AMAZED US WITH YOUR CULINARY ARTISTRY!!! From the beginning to desert, amazing food, amazing service. Truly deliciousness beyond words. Thank you guys! It was well worth the trip. Please, visit this wonderful place.“

“We had such a great time, and while the food was good, it was the service that truly made the experience. Sara was absolutely amazing, so lively, friendly, and attentive. She anticipated our every need and made us feel completely taken care of. I’ve never experienced service quite like that!“

“Fancy relaxed dining. Gorgeous venue with superb views of the city. Highly reed the food and service. Follow IG: maria.angelspear for the reel“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food and service is excellent. It is always an enjoyable evening.“

“Friendly staff…..but when the place is busy you’re going to wait“

“We dined at Robert’s for the first time. We were celebrating a relative’s birthday. The food was outrageous! The appetizers were amazing as were all of the entrees. I had chicken stuffed with mushrooms and I can honestly say that it was the best chicken I have ever eaten. The portions were plentiful. We had a large selection of desserts to choose from at the end of the meal. I chose one particular dessert but before mine came out, I asked if I could exchange it for one that someone in our party had in front of her. No problem. They accommodated me and it was beyond delicious. Also, the staff was very attentive during our whole meal. They could not have been any better. The only negative was the fact that there was also another birthday celebration going on at the same time and it was so noisy that we couldn’t hear each other talk. Despite that, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this fabulous restaurant.“

“Wow! Had an outstanding night at the Roxy and I think it’s been my best bite in JC.

Service was incredible, friendly, and attentive. We did go at an off peak time, so we got extra special service. However, I think at any time the service would be top notch.

The cocktails were excellent. Extremely balanced, delicious and amazingly seasonal.

The food was soooo good. I had the short rib special and I highly recommend it while it’s available. Absolutely delicious and the best short rib dish I’ve had.

I can’t wait to return!“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“
