“lo mejor de lo mejor ❤️♥️“

“The entire staff was super accommodating for my Husband's Birthday! Though we made reservations, we didn't realize we needed to specify “lounge” to hear the amazing in-house band. They offered to seat us at a smaller table immediately or wait wait an hour for another table. Hubby chose to be seated immediately, but we soon learned, it would be too small for the Birthday feast to be ordered. In an effort to make my husband's birthday wish come true “have a delicious meal and listen to jazz music” we played musical chairs before being seating at the best seat in the house...next to the band. Our server, Emma H. was AMAZING, too!!! We have already made two additional reservations and can't wait to return.“

“THE BEST“

“Luv Aegean Estiatorio. From the minute u walk in the staff is friendly, always accommodating and responsive. Our waitress Theresa recommended the Cod which was amazing. My wife loved her grilled Salmon and their beet salad and sides are delicious. Reasonable prices. It's our go to Greek Restaurant. No room for dessert this time.“

“this place never disappoints. good service, good food. good event. I almost go at least 2xs a month. became one of my FAVORITE PLACES“

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“This is such an amazing place with the freshest seafood and very lg. Servings sizes on all their dishes. The staff is friendly and very helpful ! So glad we have such a fantastic place in our area!!!!“

“The workers/owners are so nice and the food is INCREDIBLE for the price. Seafood boil in this day and age is so expensive and here I can get 1/b crab legs, a potato, an egg, and cajun fries for close to $25. The hibachi menu is also DELICIOUS. I have ordered for pickup here with my mother twice and both times service was fast and the food was delicious.“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“Been a while since we went to Axton’s, but my wife and I will be celebrating 30 years this week, we thought we’d start with a fine dinner WTH Chef Anton. Early on a Sunday during the summer was far from their busy time, so we had a chance to chat. For starters, we shared an apple mango salad. Shame on me for not reading the menu. The dressing is apple mango. Home made! I was looking for mango in the salad. Apple, craisins, two kinds of cheese…. Perfect for a hot July day. My wife ordered the shrimp marinara over spinach instead of pasta. Delicious and even more impressive was that the shrimp had their tails removed. A great touch. The piece de resistance was my scallop special. Scallops topped with Crabcake coating topped with bacon. Served over a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes and more. My wife called it spectacular. I thought it was a taste of heaven. Couldn’t figure out one taste in the sauce. Originally thought mango, but there was none in the salad. Had to ask if it was peach? Mango was the winner. The dish was a bigger winner!“

“My brothers and I hosted our dad’s 60th birthday in one of the private rooms upstairs. Maria took care of us and service was incredible all night! We chose the 3 course sit down menu and family style appetizers which were all incredible. I highly recommend coming here for a private event and will be back soon to try the rest of the menu!“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“I was excited to get warm with soup after Pompton Lakes’ Holiday Stroll. I got the Hot Lemongrass Beef Pho. This is hands down the best pho I’ve had since leaving California. Boiling Pho is legit!! The noodles were chewy and not soggy. The beef brisket was so tender. The sliced beef was fresh. The broth was immaculate on a cold night and super flavorful. Nothing beats a good bowl of pho. I can’t wait to include this place in my weeknight dinner rotation! Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and service!!“

“Very nice - I’m coming back for sure“

“Seafood Birthday Bash!

Went to this restaurant for my uncles birthday. He doesn’t eat chicken or steak so seafood is his favorite. Caldwell Seafood Market & Cafe was an obvious choice because of the pictures and the fact it was a fresh seafood market just stood out to me. It did not disappoint either! We were a group of 10 people and ordered everything our heart desired and spent $579. We ordered 3 orders of fried calamari which was nice and crispy and they even had a ginger sauce which is different. We tried the hot and spicy shrimp which had a great sauce to dip the complementary bread in. We ordered 5 bowls of New England clam chowder. I felt it was watery and not as seasoned as I am used to but we enjoyed it anyway. They forgot a bowl of soup but we won’t hold it against them. We all ordered entrees and most of us got a dessert! We left full and satisfied!

Knowing my family we love to eat and we are all reviewers at heart and are not afraid to say what we do not like. Everyone loved their food from the appetizers to the dessert and we were surprised at how fast the food came and how fresh it was. The waiter was very attentive as well. We didn’t need a reservation when we came in at 3pm and were the only ones there. Surprising it was not packed for a Saturday afternoon but started to fill up as we left.

Overall this restaurant gets a 5/5 because the experience was great, the waiter was very nice and accommodating, the food was piping hot and everyone was pleased even the kids who aren’t really seafood fans.

P.S. Below are photos of some entrees we ordered like the Red Snapper with spinach and beans, Bronzino with mash and veggies, Fish and Chips, Linguine with white clam sauce.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“$20 for all you can eat shrimp“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“Musubi for days! So good So fresh! Ill be back“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“The food was excellent. I had shrimp cocktail and wagu filet. We also had a variety of desserts. They were all delicious as well!! Our waiter was very attentive. We also had drinks at the bar before dinner. The cocktails were great and the bar tender was very nice!!“

“Drove from Orange County,New York. FRESH fish and seafood at very reasonable prices. Will even cook you a fish fry. Bought mussels, clams, live crabs, calamari, and salmon. Only issue was the salmon was not deboned at all, but I'm still rating 5 stars!“

“Very nice atomosphere. Everybody friendly Food was quick and drinks where amazing“

“Came for my birthday -first time there-everything was awesome -stuffed zucchini flowers, caprese salad . soft plolenta w/short rib ragu and pistascio gelato-soooo good, can't wait to return.“

“Excelente atención y rica comida“

“I recently ordered from The Den, it’s a charming new BYOB spot that has quickly become a favorite. The service was impeccable from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the perfectly seasoned appetizers to the mouthwatering entrees, each bite was a delight. The freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skillful preparation were evident in every course. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“I Sent my friend a Johnny's pizza for his 70th birthday last week. Unbeknownst to me, my friend was in the hospital during that time. I called Johnny's and advised them of this and they very graciously Sent a free pizza, celebrating my friends healthy return home. My old friend just finished the pizza, and shared it was delicious. Not only are Johnny's Pizzas Large, their kind Hearts are even Bigger! Bravo and God Bless, Mike C from North Carolina“

“rikisimo autentico sabor por fin encontre el mejor restaurant en mariscos de el area“

“Halcyon,I'd gladly come back! I loved the ambiance.“

“You won't be disappointed! Quick service and good food. I like the way the guy uses his memory taking orders, gets it right 99% of the time, even with 3 or more people ordering!“

“Huge portions of great food! Salads w/spectacular dressing lead to enormous, expertly-prepared steak, chicken and seafood entrees!“

“After months of hearing Chengdu 23 advertised on 105.5 WDHA, my wife and I decided to try it this evening. we were not disappointed! From the minute we walked in the door, our experience was 100% positive. The service was fast, courteous, and intuitive. The food was sublime. This is not your run of the mill Chinese food restaurant. I rate it seven out of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I never claimed to be a math whiz!)“

“Food was ok. Seafood boil was not that great. Corn was mushy, shrimp was , potatoes were a little hard, eggs were missing most of the white because I guess they couldn't peel it and one egg was not hard boiled . Whiting fish sandwich was not that good. My daughter liked the lobster roll though. Very hot in the restaurant, with flies.“

“5 stars all day! I drove 2 hours just to try their famous family recipe sauce, and it did *not* disappoint. The warm, family atmosphere and authentic recipes make Jay's Fish Gate a must-try!“

“Matthew 's Restaurant is 1 of the best restaurants in North NJ if NOT The Best. The food is always Delicious & Service is excellent. Beyond that, the atmosphere or aviance is excellent. The vibe & energy is first rate positive fun & culinary enjoyment. I believe that this fine dining experience is also driven by the owner Matthew who is usually in the restaurant greeting guests & helping out. When you visit Matthew's you'll have a great time and it'll feel like you're on mini-vacation from the stress of every day life while seemingly enjoying the warmth of family. It may be a cliche but it's definitely true. 10 stars ⭐ out of 10.“

“My friends and I have been dining at Seasons for quite a while - we stopped going about 6 months ago - food was inconsistent and not that good. We decided to try it again yesterday and we were pleasantly surprises. There were 4 of us and we all loved what we ordered. The salmon and crab cake were delicious and so were the salads. The steak tenderloin was tender and tasty as well! The service was excellent. Our waitress couldn't have been nicer. The ine disappointment was the cappuccinos we ordered. They werent hot and even though waitress redid them they still came out lukewarm at best. Looking forward to returning.“

“Great food, friendly service and comfortable ambiance. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I get food delivered from here every time I’m in town!! Their red snapper is absolutely delicious. It’s a nice size and tastes amazing with the mixed vegetables and rice. I have also tried the salmon (steamed) and it wasn’t as good as the red snapper.“

“You cannot go wrong by dinning at Naxos. We will be back tomorrow night with my Grandchildren. Ask for Rebecca as your server she is wonderful“

“Professional service and delicious food in NY Best steak House 🥩🥩😁“

“We had our daughter's baby shower here and it was an exceptional experience. The food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend this wonderful venue.“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“Went for a birthday dinner. Wasn't happy about being sat in front of the door every time someone walked in we would get a gust of cold air and it just wasn't comfortable everyone looking at you that walked in the door. Otherwise the meats were delicious and the salad bar was good. Definitely would go back again.“
