Table Bread
Bang Bang Shrimp
Chimichurri Bistro Filet
Lily’s Chicken

Although this restaurant may be a chain, they doesn’t mean the food will be less than stellar.

My girlfriend and I had a flawless dinner in this seafood restaurant.

Table bread:
The bread was served warm; I especially loved dipping the bread in the pesto filled olive oil.

Bang bang shrimp:
This signature appetizer was piled high and deep with shrimp with shredded lettuce at the bottom. The seafood was smothered in sweet Thai chili sauce and sriracha.

Be sure to mix the lettuce with the shrimp.

Chopsticks are included, but they are not necessary.

Chimichurri Bistro Filet:
The tender, juicy 8-ounce steak was served medium rare.

Pre-slicing the steak is a great convenience because that’s one less kitchen utensil you will need.😊

The chimichurri sauce was beyond phenomenal. In addition to the steak, I also smothered it in the side dishes.

Lily’s Chicken:
The chicken had a variety of toppings which included goat cheese, spinach and artichokes. It was undoubtedly one of my favorite plates.

It was a perfect dining experience at a seafood restaurant and we didn’t even order seafood entrées!

“We had lunch on Saturday afternoon. I would rate the food as pretty good, and better than Red Lobster which is right across Rt. 18. However the presentation of the food leaves a good deal to be desired. They serve on paper strays with plastic spoons. Paper would be fine if it was of a higher / thicker quality. The plastic utensils would also be fine if they weren’t of the kiddie party variety. The We had soft shelled crab, fried shrimp and catfish with boiled Cajun pototes and French fries. All of the food was good, neither over cooked not undercooked. The soft shell carb was pretty good. What was annoying was that the (soupy) boiled potato(s) side dish was served in a Saran Wrap baggie tied in a knot and put in the same paper tray with the fried soft shell crab. It was hard to tear it open without spilling the contents all over the table. However the side dish potatoes were good. The problem was the plating. The French fries were also good, neither overcooked nor undercooked and tender. While the food is good you and the restaurant is decently decorated, you get the impression that they have a very very tight budget for necessities as in utensils, plates and trays. Nevertheless we will eat there again or have their food delivered. They do not have a delivery service so you must use Uber or Doordash.“

“Long time patrons but Blue Water has gone downhill over the last several years as far as seafood choices and food taste. Seafood Fra Diavolo ordered medium was tasteless and calamari were the Shop n Stop frozen rings. Key Lime pie slice the size for a mouse maybe and tasteless, no presentation like back in the day. Another “ former “ old time patron sitting next to us was furious as his swordfish was maybe 1/4” thick. We both agreed never to visit Blue Water again. We both remembered when it was the best ! My spouse and I were customers when the place would be packed now 4 tables only at 6:30pm ( guessing others feel the same) and long gone is the special menu had lobster cakes, halibut, monk fish , red snapper etc. Sadly and honestly not even better than a pizza restaurant but 3x the price. Bye Blue Water Seafood .“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“Ordered steam beef dumplings, and chicken Lo Mein through the phone and i was told 15 minutes. Arrived 15 minutes later with food in hand and they even threw in a free drink! food was absolutely amazing and I will be coming back. 谢谢 Dim Sum Go Go Go.“

“Establishment is clean, with excellent customer service. Guillermo was a God send. He had my three dz Blue Claw Crabs fresh/cleaned and when he realized I had car troubles and was going to walk-he gave me a ride home safely. Pristine local fishermen and family business worth supporting compared to more well known larger venues.“

“1st and last time coming here. With the price of the buffet you would think they will have more food selections. The food was nasty, cold and dry. The hibachi was closed and the steak they did make and put out was cold, tough and been sitting out for a while. Crabs were cold and small they were stingy with putting everything out in small portions. Didn't have any snow crabs like they advertise. The bubble tea was free so my children didn't know upon leaving we had to pay for it. The rude receptionist ran and chased us down out the door and snatched them out my kids hands. If she wasn't so rude i would of went back to pay for them. I spent a total of $267 including $40 tip for nasty buffet and service. False advertising on social media made me come here. Never again“

“Amazing food and service ❤️“

“I had dinner tonight at Hot Space Edison and it was my first time coming here. The look and the taste of the food were so good. Everything is made fresh and hot when the server brought it to my table. Restaurant is clean and the service is worth a 5 star. Definitely recommend this place!“

“Good food and atmosphere and service always on point and both courteous and prompt ….. make a an awesome Pomegranate Martini 🍸“

“I ordered the Sweet and Sour Squirrel Bass and Shanghai Smoked Fish. The smoked fish tasted so authentic — just like what I had in Suzhou! Perfectly marinated, flavorful, and not greasy at all. The squirrel bass was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and cooked to perfection. The fish is freshly prepared — they literally have a tank right by the entrance, so you know it’s super fresh!“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“Great selection of delicious food. There was so much to choose from for appetizers, salads, raw bar, specials, entrees and desserts! The drink selection was excellent too ! Our service was amazing, Brianna went above and beyond for my friend's birthday celebration! A definite place to re visit over and over again. Ps.. this was my third awesome encounter there..“

“had a problem but the manager was very concerned and made us happy we went.food absolutely delicious.“

“Had to drive over 45 minutes to get to this place. I’m giving this a 5 star because this is probably the best fish soup you are going to get in NJ. There are however much better places for this in Flushing Queens which would be double the driving time for me. The fish soup is good. Not the best. For the best, my go to place is still this place called Fish With You in Flushing. Give this place a try! Everything is good.

Update: had the comb for 2. The fish came under flavored. Needed some time to marinade in the soup. After it was better. We got the fried pork belly which is good. But can’t have too much because it is heavy. The glutinous cubes were fried so it was crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. The syrup is used to dip and it serves as a good dessert to finish the meal off.“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“Our Wedding Reception was at Armory 17 years ago! We go back every year on our anniversary! And other times as well. Food is always good. Love the Rodizio! And in good weather, enjoying the delicious food outside, with sangria, is wonderful! Highly recommend it!!“

“The service was really excellent. The food was delicious. I was having a party for a member of my staff and it could not be more perfect.“

“Place has great food and very friendly service, the portions are big and the prices are good they also give free samples from time to time which is unheard of these days and they have mind twisting games to play if you want to feel dumb. I'm a regular now and would recommend this place to anyone, actually I don't want to recommend it because I want it all to myself 😜“

“excelente servicio 👍 y la comida muy rica muy amable la atención, 100 % recomendado“

“It would be easy to overlook this place. It’s buried way in the back of a strip mall. The interior ambience isn’t anything to brag about, either. Yet it is a true gem with amazing food at good prices and excellent service. My wife and I each ordered pizzas. She got the 12” Chicken Pesto and I ordered the 12” Meat Lover’s. Both came out promptly. It was amazing, the best pizza I’ve had in years. I can’t say too many good things about it. Everything was in perfect harmony, a symphony of umami and cheese. Meatballs, sausage, bacon. It had it all. Each bite a delight. My wife also loved her pizza. We stopped in on a Monday on the way up north for a show. There were a few tables occupied but I would imagine it probably gets busy on weekends. Even so, I would make a point of stopping in here again next time I’m passing through the area at dinner time.“

“La Cucina is absolutely delicious. Always fresh and VERY consistent. I have never ordered something that wasn’t superb! They have the best halibut over risotto I have ever had. If you have never dine here before then you are certainly missing out. Cucina is our go to! Best food in town by a long shot 🙌🏼“

“Exceptional in Every Way! My experience at 390 Prime Steak and Seafood was nothing short of phenomenal. From the impeccable service to the unforgettable flavors, this restaurant is a true gem. The attention to detail in every dish and the warm ambiance made for an evening I'll cherish. If you're seeking a culinary adventure that exceeds expectations, look no further than 390 Prime Steak and Seafood.“

“The Best Staff, a staple of the community. Beautiful restaurant and Who doesn't love Portuguese and their food!!!!“

“For people who are going to try the deadlift soup for the first time, I recommend ordering the seviche separately, because the lemon is strong and overpowers the flavor of the seafood. And the easy tasty marine dish for three people, make sure to bring a bottle of wine, nice place, a hidden gem.“
