“I’m writing this for my father.He was craving Mott Street NYC shrimp and calamari but didn’t feel like going to the City. He was in the area and decided to give this place a try. He was very impressed and said it was just as good if not better than Little Italy! It wasn’t exactly on the menu but they still went out of the way to accommodate him-biscuits and all! He also said the people were very friendly. Can’t wait to try Michel Angelo’s too!-From Tom Fico of New Jersey“
“I want to commend our server, Matt. He was so attentive and friendly and professional that it made the dining experience outstanding. The food was outstanding and the service extraordinary! Thank you, Matt. The entire experience was fabulous. We will return !“
“This place is fantastic!!! The pasta was to die for! The lamb pizza I’ve been thinking about since I’ve eaten it! The only hiccup was that they were short staffed in the kitchen so we were there for a very long time AND my husbands steak was over cooked. They did more than enough to make it right and were very apologetic. The place is very cute and homey inside. PLUS BYOB! We will be back again that’s for sure !“
“Worth the wait and the hype - usually no wait during quieter hours but be sure to reserve during peak times - the food was delicious and fresh, cooked perfectly with a deliciously famous Capt Loui seasoning - be sure to load up on the seafood for extra flavor in the boil, addd garlic noodles and some homemade lemonade for the full experience “

“Comfortable, casual, but classy atmosphere. The service was very friendly and happy to explain any dishes that we weren't familiar with. The food was amazing! I wish I took more photos. We started with the babaganoush and tablouli salad. My husband had the lamb kebab and I had the chicken kofte. Everything was so flavorful and tender. I have no idea how to spell the dessert we shared, but it was like a non-crunchy creme brulee. SO GOOD, light and refreshing. Highly recommend this place.“
“We were a party of 3 for Easter dinner, our first time here. It was packed but the friendly and competent staff was able to accommodate a table change for us to a booth which was much appreciated. Our sewer was friendly and informative. The menu has wonderful options. The tuna tartare appointment was big enough for all of us to enjoy without filling up too much so we could enjoy our perfectly cooked lamb loin and scallop entrees. Desserts were sweet and delicious and the presentation was brilliant. I will steal the idea for my next dinner party!“
“I absolutely love this place! From the food, atmosphere and customer service. I have used them twice to cater my baby shower and a recent birthday party. Zinna the owner is super sweet, professional, punctual. She truly wants the customer to be happy and checks in with you. My family and friends loved the food and I will always use them in the future.“
“I really really really like this place. I ordered penne (a form of pasta) with butter alongside my family, and I love this place very much. The penne is beyond the term exquisite and the butter with it was amazing. I can only say the downside is the physical appearance and even then I like it. It's a little cramped and it's relatively hard to navigate when with a group even though the place is small, but I genuinely love this place very much. Overall on a scale of 1-10, I'm giving this a 9.7 due to the small inconvenience of small size it that's what happens when your located in a strip-mall. Thank you for your service and food!!“
“Yes and Yes again! To begin, when I walked in everyone said hello. I was unsure of what I wanted and even a bit annoying if I am honest. The gentleman answered all my questions and made suggestions.The food...grilled chicken....amazing...juicy, well seasoned and cleaned...will return and recommend.“
“The food was super fresh and so tasty. I think we were there shortly before closing but the few tables that were also dining at the same time were also served quickly. My family ordered three different entrees and shared. We were really happy with our meals- everything was super fresh, the use of veggies and sauces really elevated the taste and quality of the seafood being used. The staff was very friendly and the place had a comfortable feel.“
“I’ve been a huge fan of the Station restaurant for years, but hadn’t been in for a while until last night. I went for dinner with my wife and had an absolutely outstanding meal. Alan is a top notch waiter and German is a first class bartender/front of the house who does an excellent job of interacting with the patrons. We were sorry to miss Carlos, one of the best in the business. Our meal was a 10/10, don’t miss the firecracker calamari. My wife had the filet and loved every bite. The grilled marinated hanger steak was cooked to perfection and their scalloped potatoes are the standard by which all others should be measured. Truly superior restaurant, highly recommend.“
“The lobster bisque in a bread bowl was delicious. I don't know where they get their bread bowls but mine was perfect. Warm and crusty on the outside but soft and yummy on the inside.The mocktails are new since our last visit and the mojito was the best I've had so far at a restaurant. I also had the kale caesar salad with blackened grouper which I really enjoyed.“
“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“
“Great Easter Dinner! Best service ever. Menu is very extensive with plenty of options on top of the day specials. Ambiance is great. I'll for sure return to Lithos very soon to try out other menu items I have in mind. Must experience this for yourself!“
“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan. I also love the Mango Lassi and the Masala Chai. Everything is fresh and the service is exceptional. Bengal Spice will always have a special place in my heart for quality comfort food!Vegetarian options: The menu is labeled clearly.Dietary restrictions: This restaurant has made necessary changes if needed to my order to accommodate my dietary needs.Parking: There’s a free parking lot in the plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat here with their families.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wheel-chair accessible.“
“Absolutely the best seafood around here. Only 11 tables, so need a reservation. Service is very friendly and I never felt rushed. A BYOB which is great. It is a seafood shop as well so atmosphere is nothing fancy. My favorite place for seafood!“
“I only have ordered on uber eats so I don’t know service and atmosphere, but the oxtail is on point. The beef patties….. wow….. I need to know what spices they useGreat food. I have ordered MANY times in the past few weeks. And will continue“
“My wife and I are serial Axton Take-out folks... we finally made it a point to dine-in and it couldn't have been better. Francesca made us feel as if we were dining at my home town in Italy and the food was amazing. She is the best. Most experienced waitresses in the industry. Would recommend Axton's to anyone. As a matter a fact I sent my grandparents here (off the boat) and they loved it. If you can impress an Italian with Italian food... you WIN!! Love Axton's !!Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Regular here, and I can't say one bad thing. Amazing food, very comforting atmosphere, service, and all around ambiance.Seriously, my go to spot legit once a week! Amazing all around!!!Sincerely, corner table regularKid-friendliness: Very accommodating.“
“First time ordering from this place and I will definitely be back. I created my own bowl and order the sliced cucumber salad. Both food items were so tasty and affordable. For Next time, I look forward to trying the Kani tots, that people have spoken so highly of.“
“We moved to Bloomfield 7 years ago and I've seen this steak house all the time but never tried it out..... I wish we had went sooner!! Not only was the service excellent, different waiters and waitresses checked up on us periodically as well as our own waitress while we dined. I had the rib eye no bone (excellent and evenly cooked) with fries and my wife had the filet mignon with cream spinach. We had the empanadas for an appetizer and they were delicious. And for dessert, the chocolate brownie sundae..... Delicious!! The prices are probably the lowest of any steakhouse we've been too in NY/NJ and we've been to quite a few. Definitely look forward to going back a bunch of times!!!“
“I never have a bad experience here. The food is fantastic, I am a seafood gal. The staff is fun, friendly and accommodating, within reason. I have a funny tummy but their extensive menu is always a feast for my eyes. My favorite dish is the whole snapper, simply delicious!“
“First time dining here and we were pleasantly surprised with the variety of dining options and specials. The pre-fixe choices (6 oz File, penne vodka) were both great and reasonably priced for all the food you receive. Desserts (Chocolate Mousse Pie and Tiramisu) were quite delicious! The wine selections are also good. We had very attentive service and friendly attention, without being overbearing. We would recommend and go back!“
“Had dinner here last night. Delicious, innovative menu. Try the crispy duck crostini, duck fat patatas bravado. Everything we had was great.And our server, Melissa, could not have been more helpful.Highly recommended (as are, reservations - this place is popular and gets busy).And, it’s BYOB!“
“Bartenders were great. The food seemed a little more processed than I remember it. It's a chain, so you have to account for that, but I seem to remember it being a little more flavorful.One exception; all the bang-bang stuff (shrimp, of course, but also had vegetable) continues to be spot on!“
“It has been awhile since I’ve had Ethiopian food so it was a treat to finally visit Mesob for a birthday dinner. We arrived at 8pm and there was no hesitation from the staff to warmly welcome us in. Although it took some time for our order to be taken, the waitstaff was friendly and respectful. Since we warned in advance on the menu that our order would take about 20 minutes, we just relaxed and enjoyed the vibe in the restaurant. Though the entrance is small, there are plenty of tables inside and roomy. Well, the food was wonderful! I had the meat sampler that included veggie sides and my partner had a lamb dish. We decided to have both our orders on a huge platter for sharing. All of it was so flavorful and, frankly, it’s fun to scoop the food with the injera, which is like a sourdough pancake like (but not) flat bread. You really have to try it to understand what it’s like. The lamb dish was especially delicious as the meat was tender inside and crispy on the outside. Honestly, everything was so good and there is so much of it. We took leftovers home although not the injera that was underneath the veggies and meat, as it got soggy. Oh, they give a separate plate of injera for the scooping. Definitely was worth the visit!Parking: Go to the side streets for parking and it’s free in the later evening.“
“Brought the kids to Ferati’s tonight and they did not disappoint! We are originally from Brooklyn so we know good pizza. Alex made my daughter the most delicious chicken roll! The quality of food made me feel like I was back home in Brooklyn! Will be coming back often!“
“We licked our knives! Need we say more?! (We didn’t eat everything so we asked them to use a spatula to be sure to get all the sauce!) LOL! But seriously, we just found our new favorite restaurant! Everything is exceptional from the moment you walk in! Excellent service, excellent atmosphere, PHENOMENAL FOOD! Can’t wait to come back! Eric was the most excellent waiter!“

“Ordered the Asun combo with jollof rice, and I must say this is the best Nigerian restaurant I've eaten from since getting here. It was 10/10. You'll know that the chefs know how to cook, not all these random people selling food here & there.Slightly expensive, but compared to other African restaurants it's just like $2-5 more, so it's totally worth it in my opinion.Can you guys please venture into other things like pepper soup and small chops???I simply can't deal with these other restaurants selling nonsense lol. Thanks in advance.“
“I ordered the lobster roll online in the morning for pickup at noon. I came around noon and parked in the lot next to the restaurant. My order was ready. The lobster roll was for my son's birthday. He liked the lobster roll. The roll looked like it was stuffed with a good amount of lobster meat.“
“First of all, the attention to some, the very kind lady waited for us because it was almost time to saw but the atmosphere was good vibes, for example the music, the food was very delicious, the airport, the magician's candy, the acevichado sushi, ufff, I have to return the acevichado maqui, I said sushi for They knit it for you, but one is Peruvian, it turns out that it's your za but recommended your guy Y7it?“
“I was there last night 3/30 to have the Whiting and French fries. At first I was very disappointed when I realized they didn't have anymore of this special "pink sauce" that tastes amazing. But when I got in the car and tasted that fish, it was fresh, well-seasoned, and tasted just as good with or with out the sauce. I will definitely be returning.“
“Food is pretty good, my 4th time here. It's funny that an Italian Restaurant is actually closed "Every Sunday" when that is the biggest day for Italians and everyone else to go out for macaroni dinner. I'll come back, just not on a Sunday, haha. I'd give them 5 stars if they were open Sundays.. That's just weird. Everyone needs a day off but perhaps take a weekday off instead or rotate Sundays on and off? I'm not the only one who wonders why they close every Sunday..“
“This place has great food and is always busy whenever I go! I've tried a few of their dishes but my favorite is the mapo tofu. They also have vegetarian options including soup dumplings! What really sets them apart is their service. Everyone is truly SO friendly!“
“Always excellent. Been eating here for years now and never disappoints. Service is always good. And Chuck treats everyone like family. We like to go early so it's not too crowded but reservations are a good idea. Love the Antipasto salad with meat with the BEST dressing (that you can take to go). Get it every time. Pasta ( rigatoni salsiccia & penne vodka) and chicken (Arturo, Marsala) dishes are a must. Weekly specials always worth a try. And leave room for dessert- NY cheesecake.“
“Absolutely love the food here, especially Kung po chicken, crispy tofu, and spicy garlic fish. It's byob so having dinner parties here, especially with lazy Susan around, can be super fun and comfortable. Thank you, Chengdu. When I want to treat myself for a bday dinner or special occasion, this restaurant is definitely at the top of the list.“
“The ladies were so helpful taking care of my baby! They happily held and rocked her during my friends bridal shower. The vodka penne was amazing and I enjoyed my chicken Francesce. The bartender makes a good green tea shot. We will be back!“
“I didn’t know where to buy pizza and I came across to this restaurant thru the internet. Everything it was delicious above expectations!! I ordered the margarita pizza , 2 pupusas 1 cheese and 1 with everything one orchata and one soda $25. It was exquisite, Pizza it was like homemade. I love it Thank you In happy! I recommend ❤️“
“Why did it take us so long to find this gem! Amazing everything! We had Fazzoletti with sage & butter sauce, South African lobster tail with veggies and mashed potatoes and pasta with seafood. And the dessert was when I thought to take a pic lol. Carlos was the best! All service staff were excellent! Will absolutely be back ??“
“Came on a Thursday and the vibe was insanely great and energetic! The group performing were absolutely amazing and fast! Staff was extremely friendly and the food was superlative. Honestly recommend coming here, I can’t even imagine what it’s like on the weekends!“
“Fasil is exceptional for Mediterranean dishes. Everything is fresh and well prepared. The servers are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Fasil has been one of our favorite restaurants in the Boonton area. We love bringing friends and family.“
“Recently had my daughter in laws surprise 30th birthday at the Highlawn. The event was beautiful. And she was surprised. The event was held in the beautiful ballroom. The staff was terrific and the food delicious. The set-up of the room was perfect for our 50 guests. I cannot thank Gianna enough for her help with the planning. She made sure that every detail was handled expertly. Julio, our maitre d, was excellent. He kept me updated and involved in the timing of the day and catered to our every need. We got nothing but compliments from our guests. So glad that we had our party at the Highlawn.“
“We had dinner tonight at Papperdellle. First time. Love everything about this place. Service was great. It was early the restaurant was one third full. About 25 diners. Had veal chop special, shrimp and sole oreganata, two apps. Will return. Not cheap, 130.00 for us plus tip. Worth the money.Try it you will like it.“
“Reading previous reviews, it's obvious that the management takes constructive criticism and makes improvements. Our server was great, friendly and informative. The food was fantastic- the beer wasn't cold but that's really the only negative. It's not cheap but it is worth it ! Thanks for a nice night out.“
“My favorite spot now! In fact, I think I’m going to be coming here every Sunday after church.The fish was so tender and perfectly cooked. Everything was perrrrfect! The owner was super sweet too! He realised we were there for the first time and even gave us a complimentary potato salad that was yum! It’s a cute homely place and for someone that was raised in a coastal area, I know good fish when I eat it and this is it!“
“A very cozy, clean place, the service is first class and the food is very delicious, they have a wide variety of dishes for all tastes, it is like being in El Salvador, a very good option here in Orange NJParking: 107 S Day St, City Orange, NJ 07050“
“Finally came tonight after months of hearing good reviews from friends. My husband and I are definitely going to be regulars. There are so many different choices on the menu that we had a difficult time choosing. We decided to go with the onion soup and goat cheese salad for appetizers and Burger and Salmon for our entrees (which were all delicious!) Can't wait to try all their other options! Didn't have room for dessert, but the options looked so good! Service is on point and friendly. This is truly a hidden gem!“
“My husband and I went for lunch, we were pleased to find out they have lunch specials. You can get selected entrees with either a soup, salad or beverage. I got it with the soup, a cup of lobster bisque, very pretty but I didn't capture a photo. I wouldn't get the bisque with a sandwich again because although tasty, it's very creamy, very heavy and it filled me up so I couldn't enjoy my sandwich as much. Next time, I'll combo the beverage. My husband very much enjoyed his lobster roll, it was very good.“
“As a patron of the Tenafly location, I wanted to try the Montclair locale. Parking isn't great around there but we managed. The cocktails were good. There was a grilled octopus plate served with a salad as an appetizer and it was delicious! Most of the entrees were seasoned okay but nothing stood out. One of our 5 dishes came out wrong but corrected within 5 minutes. The original dish was meant for another table and we got the correct plate quickly. Noise level was normal for a Friday night. Very nice ambiance - decor wise. Would return.“
“Tried this place with my family for my sister's birthday. Everything was delicious. For appetizers we tried the calamari, the mussels fra diablo, the clams and the sweet potato fries. Three different steaks were ordered along with the chicken Parmesan, and a lamb that was the daily special. Nothing disappointed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially because I will definitely be going back.“
