“this place never disappoints. good service, good food. good event. I almost go at least 2xs a month. became one of my FAVORITE PLACES“

“My kids and I absolutely love this place. The hibachi dinners and fried rice are amazing and the portion is very generous. One hibachi dinner feeds me and two of my kids and the prices are very reasonable. The family is very kind. The kids are there helping out and they do a great job. We are regular customers and would recommend this place to anyone!“

“Matthew 's Restaurant is 1 of the best restaurants in North NJ if NOT The Best. The food is always Delicious & Service is excellent. Beyond that, the atmosphere or aviance is excellent. The vibe & energy is first rate positive fun & culinary enjoyment. I believe that this fine dining experience is also driven by the owner Matthew who is usually in the restaurant greeting guests & helping out. When you visit Matthew's you'll have a great time and it'll feel like you're on mini-vacation from the stress of every day life while seemingly enjoying the warmth of family. It may be a cliche but it's definitely true. 10 stars ⭐ out of 10.“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“Had a great lunch today. The staff was very attentive. I had the cuban sandwich and my friend had the Ceasar Salad with Churasco. One of the managers, Jenny, came to check on our table and was very nice to us on top of our server being great. Definitely will be back again and again.“

“This place is awesome! My brothers and I took my father there last night for my his birthday and it was an awesome time. Our waitress Nicole was amazing and a trooper! 😆 Will definitely be back. 5 stars!“

“We have nothing bad to say about this location for Chinese food. We do have other locations that we typically go to, but being Sunday, they were closed. And having been here a few previous times we found their Chinese food to be very good.Upon our recent visit we found that their Chinese food has maintained its quality and taste. They have even prepared two windows for minimal contact pickup. One is at the entrance and one is by the counter. This will ensure this location will be open for business if we are close to shutting down again.Our service here again today was excellent. We ordered in the store and waited at our table for the food to be ready. However there is no eating in at this location The only tables are for sitting and waiting for your food.“

“Great time with my family for lunch, great food and great atmosphere but our waitress Abby gets the 5 Stars for service (Awesome Abby 🤩)“

“apps were good, service was even better. live atmosphere on a Friday evening to boot.“

“the services is wonderful, the food very delicious, I felt like in Egypt. I love it soooo much“

“We started going to this restaurant just last year and our server at that time Alexis really took great care of us. Ever since then we fell in love with the place. We always requested for Alexis but last night we had a different server named Eric and he was also very great and very attentive. The host stand, server, and the manager really made my boyfriend and I 9 year anniversary dinner special and we couldn't be any happier. The food was amazing and we always get the 22 oz prime bone in ribeye and the truffled Mac and cheese and it has been our go to meal and of course they have the most amazing oysters! They have a great variety of specialty drinks and wines that pairs very well with the food. This is a very highly recommended place and they have gained new regulars!“

“the food are delicious and the waitress is great !“

“Jack's Surf & Turf in Montclair, NJ, is our absolute favorite spot! This hidden gem in Montclair is a must-visit. Over the years, we've celebrated countless Girls' night-out birthdays here, and it never disappoints. From the moment you arrive until the time you leave, every detail is perfect. Greg, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and attentive; he treats us like family. Keeps our wine glasses full, and ensures we feel valued while also attending to other valued guests. The vibe is truly inviting, fabulous, super amazing & memorable! The menu offers a wonderful, wide variety of fresh and expertly cooked seafood, seafood boils, grilled steaks, salads, soups, OMG lobster mac & cheese, burgers, tacos, and scrumptious desserts! Everything is delicious, and the prices are more than reasonable, outstanding value! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. You can BYOB; however, their wine selection is impressive as well. Generous portions, secure parking, and impeccably clean restrooms. Servers are always friendly and accommodating, happily fulfilling special requests. Nice music and occasional live entertainment enhance the experience. The Millburn, NJ, location is equally fantastic! We always start with our favorite Arugula salad - generous portions. House salad, also incredible! We adore Garlic Old Bay Shrimp appetizers, fried calamari, crab cakes, BUTTERY lobster rolls, OMG!. For our entrées, we couldn't resist going all in! Seafood Linguine in Garlic Sauce, steamed clams, mussels, grilled salmon, and lobster tails with crabmeat stuffing (seasonal). If you don't see something on the menu that piques your interest, just ask your server if they can prepare it for you. What impresses me most is Greg's attention to detail, passion, and creativity in delivering exceptional, high-quality food, ensuring each guest feels welcome and appreciated. I promise you won’t be disappointed, spotlessly clean, superior food, and exceptionally friendly customer-centric service! We've been to Jack's many times, and we'll keep coming back! Carla Wright“

“THE BEST“

“A fantastic seafood restaurant. Definitely will be returning.“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“Really great food. Great 👍cinnamon iced tea. Amazing food. The seafood boil had me salivating at sight. And it lived up to expectations when I ate it. Would have liked some music at a low volume. I can hear everything in the restaurant. Server was on point.“

“Food was delicious despite the meat not being cooked as requested. The atmosphere & our server, Julian, were incredible! Julian found out at the end of our meal we had a celebration & went above and beyond to help us celebrate! Would definitely recommend & return (-:“

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

“First time trying and I was impressed with the menu offerings! I enjoyed the fresh tuna & the fish taco. Looking forward to trying more items next time! It was great to have alcoholic options too. And loved that they had so many hot sauces to try on the table. Service was slightly slow but staff was friendly.“

“We had an outstanding dining experience at The Capital Grille. The food was exceptional, but what truly made the evening memorable was our server, Jarel Turner. Jarel was personable, professional and incredibly attentive, with exceptional attention to every detail. He anticipated our needs, made excellent recommendations and ensured everything was perfect from beginning to end. His outstanding friendly service elevated the entire experience. We will definitely return and request Jarel.“

“Came for my birthday -first time there-everything was awesome -stuffed zucchini flowers, caprese salad . soft plolenta w/short rib ragu and pistascio gelato-soooo good, can't wait to return.“

“Had the pleasure of eating at Giorgio"s last night before a show at SPAC. Service was outstanding, menu explained and food was excellent. From our salad, entree and desert everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it but please not before a show I may now get a reservation again.“

“Excelente atención y rica comida“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“Our first time as we are visiting from out of town. Our server Cesar was so wonderful. Very accommodating and helpful. The food was phenomenal. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and had a charbroiled taste which we loved. We also had the Bavarian pretzels app special which was awesome!!!! Our drinks were also fantastic. This was a great choice for our 10th wedding anniversary. We’re so glad we found it. Highly recommend!!!!!!“

“Very good food,delicious!🍗“

“Where can one find fish fresher than at this restaurant that is a fish market during the day? In my opinion, nowhere in this area does the seafood in this area compare.\n\nThis is our third time here in four weeks, and they haven’t disappointed us. Incredible service with an extensive menu at fair prices, this place is a must to try.\n\nKenny, not sure if he’s the manager, apologized for running out of steamers. He assured us that if I call in advance to reserve, he will hold an order for me.\n\nWe shall return!!“

“el mejor restaurate lindo ambiente buen trato y lo mas importante una buena sazon les recomiendo si quieren comer rico venga aqui“

“They are rescuing Newark Ave. Absolutely the finast dinner. Those in the CourtHouse neighborhood should make Yub's 78 a regular stop.“

“First time entering this location actually, the waitress Lakaiya I believe that was her name was very nice and helpful, food and service was great, and of course, my favorite appetizers are the "Cheddar Bay Biscuits" now, as for the ambience and overall environment of the restaurant, it has a low key vibe and very inviting, has a warm feel to it, the waiters and waitresses try their best to provide their services for their customers, as well as the chefs that cook and prepare their food, I do recommend this location though, I also like the music selection on the radio's overhead, nicely done...“

“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Very nice atomosphere. Everybody friendly Food was quick and drinks where amazing“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“Professional service and delicious food in NY Best steak House 🥩🥩😁“

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“This place is so romatic and the staff and food are great. We left happy and ready to return soon.“

“🌟 A Hidden Gem That Hits Every Note of Excellence 🌟 From the instant we walked in, we weren’t just welcomed—we were embraced. David, the manager, leads with heart and precision. His cheesecake? Honestly, a revelation. Ruben brought effortless charm and made us feel like VIPs all evening, while Maria’s radiant warmth made the entire experience feel like a celebration. 🍽️ The food was flawless from start to finish. We opened with crab cakes—crispy, golden, and packed with flavor—and grilled octopus so tender it practically melted. My salmon had the perfect crisp and was paired with velvety mashed potatoes. My sister’s seafood platter was generous and bold in flavor, and my niece’s shrimp scampi? Let’s just say I couldn’t keep my fork off her plate. 🎶 The ambiance wrapped it all together—inviting, vibrant, and relaxed. We lingered, laughed, and truly felt at home. 💖 To David, Ruben & Maria: You didn’t just serve us—you made us feel seen. This is what hospitality should look like. 🔥 This was my first visit, and it set the bar HIGH. A local treasure we’ll support again and again. HIGHLY recommended—bring the family, bring your appetite, and bring your heart. ❤️“

“I had dinner here and it's the best ITALIAN FOOD I've had in a long time,SERVICE was great as well.“

“This is a cool Georgian restaurant in Newark, NJ. I stopped by randomly after shopping for an event. I tried Adjaruli Khachapuri for the first time in my life. It was pretty interesting in how it was prepared but it was tasty. I also had the creamy garlic chicken and some wine. Great for a solo lunch date or just because.“

“We went here to celebrate our anniversary and they made our dinner feel special by having a chalkboard sign wishing us a happy anniversary for our table. We were also given an anniversary card with a coupon to get a free app on our next visit. The food was really good and filled you without making you feel overstuffed. Our waitress Deborah was kind and attentive too!“

“The best restaurant ever delicious food,sweet service“
