Fine Dining Restaurants near Edgewater, NJ

“We had such a wonderful evening at Fleming's Edgewater. Sergio took amazing care of our family. He was so kind, friendly, and attentive, and he somehow always seemed to know what we needed before we even had to ask. The manager also came by several times to check on us, and you could tell everyone genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. There were six of us, and every single steak was cooked exactly how we liked it. Everything was delicious, and the view made the evening even more special. The best part was seeing how excited our son was. We were celebrating his birthday, and the staff surprised him with dessert and sparklers. The smile on his face was priceless, and it's something our family will always remember. Thank you to Sergio, the management team, and everyone at Fleming's Edgewater for maki“

“My brutal procrastination finally caught up with me, so I’m only now getting around to posting something I should’ve written at the start of the year.

This is where we had our New Year's Eve dinner on Dec 31, 2025. The total came to nearly 3,000 USD for three people, which included three tasting menus, a pretty nice bottle of wine, an extra order of Hokkaido uni, which was absolutely delicious, and the tip.

The restaurant is tucked inside a supermarket, which was kind of interesting. The atmosphere and setting were pretty good, with an open kitchen, and the staff were polite as well.

As for the food, I’d say it was decent but nothing that special. The overall quality was fine, but it felt overly fussy and trying too hard. Flavor wise, it didn’t go for that clean, natural kind of profile. It leaned heavier and more muddled instead. Most of the dishes were a bit too rich and greasy for me, which just isn’t my thing. To be honest, the two Michelin stars felt a little overrated.

One other thing that annoyed me, and this is different from most other restaurants, was that the deposit you pay doesn’t get deducted automatically from the final bill. They charge you the full amount first, then refund the deposit about a week later. Since I used a Canadian credit card and the exchange rate was swinging pretty hard around New Year’s, I ended up losing a bit of money for no good reason.

So overall, it wasn’t a particularly enjoyable experience, though I wouldn’t say it was terrible either.

That’s about it. 😍😍😍“

“Cannot WAIT to return! To say I was blown away with the professional and kindly approach of the staff, is an understatement. From the super waiter, Mike, to the GM, Matt, and all points in-between, AND adding in the amazing food, drinks, desserts and ambiance.. WOW!! Kudos for the highly memorable evening! Thank you.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Sushi Saikou offers a modern omakase experience focused on high-quality fish, creative pairings, and a more personal chef-driven atmosphere. The restaurant has a calm and intimate setting that works well for special occasions, date nights, or anyone looking for a more interactive sushi experience. The counter seating allows you to watch the chefs prepare each course while learning more about the ingredients and techniques behind each piece.

The omakase menu highlights carefully selected seafood, with courses that go beyond traditional sushi by incorporating unexpected flavors and combinations. At around $120/person, the standout creations include premium pieces like toro paired with caviar and truffle, as well as other specialty bites that add richness and texture to the experience. The fish quality is the foundation of the meal, with each piece served with attention to detail.

One of the strongest parts of Sushi Saikou is the hospitality. The chefs and staff create a welcoming environment rather than a purely formal tasting experience. Conversations at the counter make the meal feel more personal, and the explanations behind each course add another layer to the dinner.

The pacing is designed around a shorter omakase format, which makes it easier to fit into an evening, although those looking for a longer, slower tasting experience may want to consider the course options and any additional pieces. The portion sizes are refined and focused on quality over quantity.

Overall, Sushi Saikou delivers a polished omakase experience with excellent fish, creative dishes, and warm service. It is a strong choice for anyone looking for a memorable sushi dinner where the interaction with the chef is just as important as the food itself.“

“Had a wonderful experience with my brother and sister in law! Very friendly and attentive! Bruno was fantastic and so was the food!“

“An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. You can truly appreciate the creativity, skill, and attention to detail that Chef Chen brings to each course. Every bite was memorable, and we enjoyed the meal immensely. Some of the dishes reminded me of the dishes I had at Eleven Madison. My favorite was the crab noodles and the scallop dumplings. A well-deserved reputation and a restaurant I would happily return to. Highly recommended!“

“Check out my I G lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. Bodai in Midtown Manhattan offers a rare and memorable dining experience. The restaurant blends Buddhist philosophy with royal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the Qing Palace. It was my first time trying a full vegetarian tasting menu, and I was impressed by how flavorful and creative every dish was. The mushroom dishes stood out the most, especially the Stichotas japonicus with cucumber sauce, the pan-seared boletus with green millet, and the Nepal mushroom quinoa with pepper sauce. Each course felt balanced and intentional—low oil, low sugar, and focused on natural taste. Even traditional dishes like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and zhajiang noodles were reimagined beautifully. The dessert, called “Nectar of the Core,” was light and refreshing. Dining at Bodai feels like a calm, thoughtful journey through color, texture, and flavor. If you’re looking for an elevated vegetarian meal in NYC, this is worth a visit.“

“Amazing experience. I took my wife there for her birthday and we were both very impressed. It is very expensive and special but worth the special treat. We usually end up too full and feeling sick after pre-fix and this menu was perfect. We were surprised by every flavor and every consistency. Even the things we weren’t excited about (like the carrot) we loved! And the presentation was gorgeous (like the sea bass) and how it went with the art. It is a cool concept without being too pretentious. The service was amazing. So many staff per couple we were so pampered. And they had a great wine selection.“

“Truly the most delicious and lovely dining experience. I had the good fortune to try the five course tasting menu. Everything was stellar but the tempeh with a steak sauce like glaze will long stay with me. It was perfectly rich, smoky and easy to digest. Additionally, the HAGS team is so thoughtful and adapted the dessert to reflect my allergies, creating a scrumptious poached pear dish with fresh cream, lemon balm and a graham cracker crumble. I immediately texted my friends after my meal to make plans for my next visit. I’m especially excited to try HAGS’ renowned brunch!“

“Fantastic atmosphere, good cocktails and yummy food!“

“We came for dinner on a Sunday after a show, the menu was a 7-course tasting menu with an optional 8th course and an optional wine pairing. We opted for the 8th course and my wife did the wine pairing, I got the Sour Plum cocktail which was fantastic. The price was on the low end for a Michelin starred restaurant, making this a comparatively more accessible option for fine dining. The staff was very bubbly and constantly executing elevated soft touches to make for a memorable experience. The dishes had such a vast array of flavors, my favorite was the plum duck but it’s tough to choose from so many strong contenders. There wasn’t a single “miss”. The wine pairing was a perfect complement to the courses, we’d highly recommend opting for it since that took this to the next level. We had an excellent experience and highly recommend Yingtao!

“The experience was fantastic! The food was so delicious!! The service was so good and the employees were so nice with us. I spent such a great time having dinner with my friends in my birthday! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Really lovely dining experience for my birthday celebration. Everyone’s very welcoming and friendly, there’s even a little handwritten card on the table which is really cute. Especially love the Squab en Croute and Quail Mandarino.“

“excellent food, impeccable service, delicious cocktails and a wonderful dining experience“

“Beautiful, delicious meal. Excellent service and views. Perfect for a special celebration or just perfect for celebrating life.“

“The service is impeccable. Our waiter, Anthony was attentive and pleasurable

The seafood tier was great in presentation and taste

The steak, I and my colleague got was lack luster. The steak was not juicy and tasted dry or old cut of meat, I requested medium rare but it was cooked more to medium. They are most known steak but has not shine in that department.

I didn’t give feedback about the steak to staff because I was at business meeting and did not want to ruin the mood.

The steak standard needs to be revisited at this location.“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“Erin was amazing and provided excellent service! She was very attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. The oysters were fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was beautiful and elegant. We had a wonderful dinner and will definitely be back!“

“We’re always skeptical of chain restaurants, but estiatorio Milo Hudson Yards is a notable exception, delivering an outstanding dining experience.

This upscale restaurant offers a high-end menu. You pay for the ultra-fresh ingredients, vibrant ambiance, magnificent panoramic view of the Vessel with a sunset backdrop, and superior service.

Our server, ILIR#636SER, was amazing. He was super attentive and professional, escorting us to the open-air ice bar seafood station. He explained every item in detail and provided great suggestions from their extensive wine list.

Every staff member, from the entrance to the manager, was extremely friendly and respectful, even to our long-distance friends, who had just landed from an ultra-long-haul flight, dressed in relaxed clothing with a cap. They didn’t feel uncomfortable at all!

We’ll definitely return for special occasions or to treat our visiting friends. This is undoubtedly a venue to impress and a representation of the world-renowned NYC!“

“Food was delicious and place is very nice“

“I have to admit, every dish here is absolutely exquisite.“

“Great ambience, food n service!!“

“Wonderful experience!!!!!“

“I had an exceptional experience as a solo diner at EMP in May 2026. I selected all vegan options and truly loved every course except the soft tofu, which I found overly salty. The radish tostada, asparagus, and dessert courses were standouts for me. I loved watching the front of house team work around me and the kitchen tour was a huge highlight! I would come back, no question.“

“Amazing place! The team is great! Hopefully we will be back for Thanksgiving!“

“- Lunch Review -
Ambiance (5/5): We were seated immediately on a Friday during lunch peak hours. There were very few occupied tables in the large establishment. The decorations provided a feeling of class and sophistication. Mood lighting is on the dark side but it was dead silent considering no guests in sight.
Service (5/5): Our wait staff was on the ready from beginning to end. Plates were cleared, crumbs removed, and often check ins.
Crispy Chicken Sandwich (5/5): Everything was done right!! the chicken had a lovely breading that had tons of flavor on it’s own. Not too much of it, not that oily, and a great exterior crunch to a juicy piece of chicken. The Korean BBQ glaze was delicious and paired well with the large cut house-made pickles and brioche bun. The sprinkled sesame seeds (white & black) were a nice artesian spin that also gave it an extra flavor!
Truffle Fries (4/5): The fries were truffle-forward and a light crunch to soggy (It needed more of a crisp for it to really knock it out of the park)
The restaurant would get brownie points if management provided a wet towelette bc the glaze was very sticky!“

“We had a beautiful evening at Cezar. Chef Cezar, formerly of Brooklyn Fare, brings the same precision and creativity that made his previous restaurant so memorable, while creating an experience that feels entirely his own.

The tasting menu is predominantly seafood-focused, and every course was beautifully balanced, elegant, and full of flavor. There is a generous use of uni and caviar throughout the menu, and the standout bite of the evening was an unforgettable combination of uni and bluefin tuna—one of the best we’ve ever had.

The ambiance is calm and understated, with a simple, minimalist design that keeps the focus exactly where it should be: on the food. The open kitchen adds another layer to the experience, allowing you to watch the chefs work with incredible precision and attention to detail.

The service was polished, attentive, and genuinely warm, making the evening feel special from beginning to end. Cezar is one of the few Michelin-starred restaurants that we’d gladly return to—an exceptional meal that feels just as inviting as it is refined.“

“It’s an amazing experience. So glad I chose to dine here.“

“My overall experience was good. We booked a chefs counter seating and were seated very closely to the grill station. It was quite toasty, so it’s worth noting if you plan on doing the same.

The portion for the chefs menu was surprisingly big, most dishes were pleasantly executed. The menu incorporated many authentic ingredients from northern Mexico with French techniques and some Asian inspiration, it felt like a nice blend.

Our server was very nice but due to our seating we were having a hard time hearing him. Although I appreciate that multiple staffs came over to greet or to check on us from time to time.“

“CG Wall Street is a wonderful place for many reasons: excellent food, always served promptly; terrific service with personable servers; pretty well-designed interiors. Today it wasn't too busy, so the noise level was way down. Pre-Covid it was mobbed, loud, and really festive! Great place to be.“

“The dumplings were very good, the crispy fried beef was excellent, and the Peking Duck was out of this world fabulous. Service was gracious and skilled. Spareribs were dry and very overcooked. If they would turn off the tacky, noisy disco music, spread out the tables a bit more, and lose the horrible, suffocating scent that permeates the air and smells up the warm hand towels, it would be much more sophisticated and elegant. I’d love to return for more of the food, but please: get rid of that other stuff.“

“Great Middle Eastern restaurant! All food that we ordered was delicious and tasty! From the outside it was okay but when you taste their food then you will change your mind! Location: It is located on second avenue, the interior is nice with a nice bar in the side. The outdoor seating is better, cause it is spacious and more safer and comfortable. Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Also, they gave us free shots because we get along with the servers. Food: All that we ordered was delicious, small servings tho but the taste of the food was good! FALAFEL PLATTER: omg the hummus that comes with it are so good! Silky and perfect with the falafel and pita that comes with it. It is good for sharing or even by yourself! BURATTA: the cheese is soft and delicious. It comes with bacon or ham? I'm not sure but it tastes good with the burrata. CALAMARI: we were sad when it came cause we thought it was fried but man it was so good, it was grilled and it taste like a ceviche. EGGPLANT SCHNITZEL: the fried eggplant is so good and not over fried so the softness of the eggplant was retained. FROZEN PASSION FRUIT DAQUIRI: omg it was so good and refreshing, but hits you at the end! LOL Price rating: 8/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great. Will definitely come back here if I pass by second avenue and if I crave for good hummus and that passion fruit daiquiri! LOL“

“Everything was super fresh – you can really taste the quality. The chef paced the meal perfectly, following our speed without rushing. Each course came with a short, clear introduction, which made the experience feel thoughtful and personal.
The menu had highlights like toro with caviar, A5 wagyu, and sweet shrimp with uni – all delicious.
Highly recommend if you appreciate fresh ingredients and a relaxed, attentive chef.
Will be back“

“Great chefs and great food“

“Always wanted to come here but never had the time to do so and when finally the time arrived. I am happy to say that it was an incredible experience in tasting heaven, person who was overseeing our table Zod, was super helpful and recommended that we try their duck, and honestly, it was a great decision. Thank you Zod for being so caring and making this experience so memorable. Definitely recommend!!“

“Amazing ambience and service! Food was excellent and my fav was Chicken Satay, Shrimp Satay, Wonton Soup, Dumplings, Duck Salad, Spicy Velvet Chicken and Black Prawns….loved those dishes!!“

“II Mulino Prime far exceeded our expectations. Beautiful decor, table was elegant with a simple red rose and white table cloth. Our dinner from appetizer to dessert was the best I have had in NYC and the service was impeccable. I thank them for making my husband's special birthday dinner memorable. I definitely will be returning and recommending to others!“

“It’s just the most wonderful place ever. My favorite NYC restaurant. I love everything about it.“

“peking duck spring rolls appetizer, yummers! lobster shrimp scampi entre, delicious! desserts, order one of each and share, go for it! life is short my friends, live the - (dash) - enjoy the journey :-)“

“The food drinks serviced, live music and ambience was excellent. We had the octopus which was perfectly cooked an seasoned and the bbq bourbon meatballs which were fantastic. The best salad was beautifully platted and tasted just as good. The drinks were very good. We had the eve elizyr non alch, Garden of Eden and 37th west.“

“Performing at Maritime Parc was an absolute highlight for us! The venue offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and harbor—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The layout is perfect for live music, with plenty of space for dancing and an energetic crowd. The team at Maritime Parc was fantastic to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could keep the party going strong all night long.“

“I have to say… Freddy was the man. Great server… I had to also get the name of the guy who was in training to carry us our food. I think his name was naddir (might be spelling that wrong, apologies). We only found out he was training after getting friendly with everyone serving us and he did a great job. Also, thank you to Diana for the recommendation on the outdoor table in the back. It’s lovely back there, highly recommended.“

“Un très bon restaurant japonais avec des produits frais. Personnel en tenu typique, je le recommande !“

“Cesar salad. Every pasta dish“

“Our favorite restaurant!! We go to the one in HardRock AC at least once a month or more. Fantastic service and consistently great food!!“
