“A great winery. We ended up tasting around 10 different bottles, and everything we tried was excellent. The reception was incredibly warm and welcoming. The blackberry fruit wine was fantastic. Highly recommend visiting if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere and a great wine experience.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“Wine was ok, but the cake...........................insane“

“A hidden gem that deserves a great review. I️ worked in Newark for years, and a place like this is exactly what the city was missing. The bottle selection is interesting - not the usual suspects. And the music sets exactly the right mood.

Newark needs more small businesses like this. It's the type of place that'll bring the energy back to this city. Will definitely be back.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Waves of Wine for a quick drink and loved the chill vibes. The atmosphere was super relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a glass of wine and good company. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“Walked in without a reservation and were quickly seated despite the restaurant being very busy. Staff were super friendly and kind. Food was AMAZING. Like absolutely knocked it out of the park. The bread was warm and soft and delicious, serviced with a sun-dried tomato compound butter. The fried calamari was excellent, the lemon sauce thing amazing and the tomato thing also amazing. The winter salad was delicious. We got the caramelized onion cacio y Pepe, the shrimp bolo, and the truffle gnocchi. All were outstanding. The gnocchi were light as air and the sauce was divine. For dessert, the chocolate tort, carrot cake, and tiramisu were all decadent and perfect. We were truly impressed with how absolutely delicious everything was. Will definitely be back!“

“Great place! Really liked the deli and pizza selection. The bar was great with large space.“

“Great food. Welcoming you from the door and checking on you throughout needs some work. Hostess wasn’t hospitable.“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Lucy made the entire experience a please. She was attentive, friendly and professional. We were there to celebrate my father's 86th birthday. Lucy made sure to make the occasion a special one, recomended a few entrees to my parents, and brought out a dessert for us to sing happy birthday without us even asking. She also told us which desserts were her favorite and we chose 4. Overall it was a great time and when we go back we will request her to be our server.“

“Had dinner here on a Friday well before closing. Upon arrival we noticed the restaurant was not terribly busy which was a plus figuring service would be faster boy were we wrong.

The server took our order and did not return once, a different server brought out our food. We have to flag a person down to get the check and observed our served just sitting at the bar or smoking, we waited for about half an hour. It really felt like we were bothering our server.

The food was wonderful though. I would give it one more chance.“

“My wife and I have been patrons and huge fans of Chez Catherine for nearly 30 years. Last Friday, we happily celebrated our 39th anniversary there with another very fine lunch. It's always a pleasure to be greeted like old friends by owner Stephane Bocket and seated at what we think is the best table in the tastefully decorated, elegant restaurant. We both chose the prix fixe menu. For starters, my wife had the always terrific moules and I a lovely mixed salad. We both chose beef bourguignons for our main course and asked Stephane to suggest wine from the by-the-glass list. His selections of a chablis for my wife and pinot noir for me worked perfectly with the outstanding bourguignons. We finished by sharing a delicious Baba au Rhum, prepared by Stephane at tableside. Dining at Chez Catherine is always a special event to us. Everything about it is first class. If you are unfamiliar with Chez Catherine, it has been one of New Jersey's Top 5 restaurants for nearly 40 years. We recommend it highly and urge lovers of fine dining to not wait but reserve a table NOW. We're sure you'll find it to be as special as we do.“

“"We planned a girls' dinner at ‘OSfizio and to say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The atmosphere and staff were welcoming and inviting, and the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Gennaro was beyond attentive to our needs, recommending spectacular dishes and ensuring our plates and cocktails were full. We didn't feel rushed out at any point. We felt welcomed life family. If you're looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and a fabulous staff, OSfizio is the place to visit. You won't be disappointed~ We can’t wait to go back!“

“This is a hidden jewel. We were spending the night at a nearby airport hotel looking for dinner. We found this and took a chance. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, but don't be fooled this a a Tapas Bar treat. Food, Service, and Drinks were fantastic!“

“Great dining experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Well, except for the jollof rice. The drinks were well-made and complemented the meal perfectly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and made for a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again.“

“Great food and service in a very stylish restaurant…“

“This spot is a hidden gem. I’ve been living in the area for about 15 years now and just randomly tried this place one day, and let me just say it not only exceeded my expectations but blew them out of the park. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is nothing short of simply the best. I would highkey recommend trying their freshly house made pizzas, they’re finger licking good as well as their pastas which are chefs kisses. I’m genuinely amazed at how not many people know about this restaurant. The owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, we talked for 15 minutes just about her business it was 2 minutes before they closed and she offered me all of the left over pizza they hadn’t sold that day FOR FREE. I’ve found my new favorite go to Italian spot.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“We had our daughter in-laws shower here ! They did a fabulous job! The food was outstanding as well as the service ! It was a perfect day ! Beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“Food was decent and we had great table service from the bartender that was there when we were in for lunch between 11:30 and 1 PM on a Tuesday . The negative is the 4% credit card surcharge. Firstly, I don’t like that surcharge and secondly, I have not seen establishments charge 4% so that seemed excessive.“

“If you’re looking for old school Italian, this is a great spot. They made it easy to schedule a work dinner for 9 people, and the service was quick and accurate. The Caesar salad was extremely tasty, as was my pasta dish, albeit a tad salty. The front bar area is also cozy and casual, so it’s a great place for an after work cocktail.

Parking: Close to a train station“

“ALWAYS a vibe whenever i pull up!“

“My colleagues and I hosted a retirement party and chose Moonshine for the event. Victor was great to work with. He is so responsive and was able to work within our budget. On the day of the event, the tables were set perfectly, the space was great for mingling and comfortable for eating, the servers were on top of everything, and our guests are still raving about the food. I highly recommend checking out Moonshine Modern Supper Club for your next event or dinner out!“

“Amazing Lamb burger! Amazing roasted broccoli and roasted cauliflower!! Been to a lot of airports and this was one of the best food options ever! So flavorful! ( Get the sauces on the side and if you sub out the fries for a side salad you're in for a real culinary treat!)😎👍💯💯💯“

“I love the atmosphere here and work just about once a week from here! Their coffee is delicious (personally recommend the amaretto latte—hot or iced)! I definitely recommend it to anyone who comes to visit.“
