“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!“
“This is one of my favorite spots in cranford! Delicious food, attentive servers and the owner always make you feel so welcome✨ I recommend the mango juice is always so fresh, pizza is on point, salmon so good, and to start the mozzarella sticks ?“
“If I could give more stars, I would. The customer service is excellent. The ingredients are fresh and you definitely get what you pay for. A no frills quick-bite eatery that just gets straight to the point. No egg throwing, no choo choo train that leaves you smelling like the train itself.Stop it, you’ll like it.“
“Absolutely spectacular. I've been meaning to visit this place for years and now I'm so glad I did. It's like going to visit a friend's house. So welcoming, like being home. The food was fresh. Lots of options for seafood. Portions were resonab9. Not huge but sufficient. I would definitely recommend.“
“Pass by this place a lot and finally went inside.Glad I did.Nice old fashioned bar with awesome food.With so many chain restaurants taking over the landscape, it’s refreshing to come to a place like this and actually eat freshly made food and sit back with a few drinks.I will def be coming back!BTW try the hot pastrami sandwich on rye. It was so delicious.“
“We tried this place for the first time, and we were pleasantly surprised, the food was delicious, service was very good, as servers were very attentive to our needs, we arrived at 5, after making reservations, we ate dinner inside, as they also have outdoor seating, again… food was delicious, everything from salad, to appetizer to dinner was delicious, I would definitely recommend this place, and for my husband and I, I know we will be going back ? and I feel in today’s date…prices were very reasonable.Vegetarian options: Plenary of salads, or pastaParking: Shared parking lot with other businesses, but there were plenty of spots“
“We had a fantastic dining experience here, made especially great by our server, Janine. Food was great, beer was delicious, atmosphere was perfect for four young kids. And Janine was awesome—she perfectly memorized our orders for a party of 9, accommodated some special requests, and checked in with us at exactly the right times.“
“Came here with my husband and toddler for lunch and after eating, I don't understand how it couldn't be packed in there! The guac, elotes, birria tostadas, tinga tacos and even my little ones kids menu chicken quesadilla were all incredibly flavorful and delicious. Yall are missing out if you don't come here! Not to mention the best playlist and kind service. Highly recommend!“
“Our lunch specials were very tasty. I had shrimp w/mixed Chinese vegetables in a brown sauce over white rice, and hot & sour soup. 5 shrimp were a very nice size. My husband enjoyed his meal as well, which was pork w/mixed Chinese vegetables in a garlic sauce over fried rice and an egg roll. Not many tables - maybe 4, but it was just lunch, so we sat & ate in. Will definitely go back.“
“We’ve taken food out a few times from here but sat for dinner with a group of friends for the first time tonight. The food is always on point! There’s a great menu full of many options. We always come for their shish kebob. Our friends never been here before really enjoyed all the dishes and appetizers as well.The owner Raffy is a doll. He introduced himself to our group, and was very friendly and made great conversation. Highly recommend Old City Café!“
