“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

“Great food with consistent outcomes with every visit. We eat in the restaurant which is never crowded. I would like to see more people come in. Today our new favorite was the whole Pomfret fish. I didn't get a picture but did of our earlier choices. Itsxs great sharing time experience with your own favorite wine.“

“I haven't been inside in quite awhile, but I've had the food recently, & it was just as great as I remembered it!“

“I was here when they first opened. it was not really "for me". Recently tried it again and loved it. I am vegetarian and my friend is vegan. we found options. Really enjoyed the eggplant sandwich. Would love more options (saw on one of the burger challenges a portobello on a burger, so loose the beef and just do the portobello) then I would definitely be there more often. Plan to check out the events that they have in the winter. So nice to have a quality and nice place locally to go out to at night.“

From the 1st interaction with the amazing owner Ilona and the most knowledgeable and professional restaurant manager Oleg, we were just at ease. The space, the food, the service, the music was 2nd to none! We could not be more grateful for the care, level of detail on everything, great recommendations on set up. All the guests left the evening in awe! We love you Melona Restaurant and you have business and our hearts going forward!“

“We order from here all of the time they are always fresh and today we ordered churros and it came as strawberry churros and strawberry ice cream for Valentine’s Day! It was such a nice surprise! I love eating in the establishment but we often order through door dash and they are always perfect“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“

“Pasta with Butter was amazing.“

“Absolutely outstanding!! Great atmosphere, great service, and fantastic food from appetizers to entrees to desserts! Have been to the original in Brooklyn many times over the years but this was our first time at Gargiulo’s in Tinton Falls and it did not disappoint. Spoke to Theresa at the end of the night and she was very welcoming and sweet. We will DEFINITELY be back! Not one negative thing to say about the entire experience.“

“Sadly our experience at this restaurant wasn't great our table was booked for 8.30 we arrived on time was told our table wasn't ready and had to wait 50 mins!!! If we were more than 15 mins late they would have given our table away so I was very unhappy about this. We were told they would call us when our table was ready. We waited outside as the bar was packed but then had to wait at the bar as it was too cold outside! This wasn't great!! However the food was unbelievable and our server was so lovely so thank you.“

“My Name Is Lisa Murphy and I am the owner of Real Talk 100 Radio Station out of Houston Texas and Real Talk Virginia Beach and Real Talk New Orleans. Here in New Jersey Celebrating my Best Friend of 37 years celebrating her 60th Birthday with a girl trip. We drove towards New York with no destination in site. Something we both wanted to do. We spent the day touring New Jersey and just wanted to order food to our Hotel Room. After looking at a bunch of restaurants we Selected Chicken Kitchen and boy oh boy from the service, portions, authentic flavors , prices, selection etc we would highly recommend them. Melissa got the 1 person Chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese all delicious and way more than 1 person could eat. I got the jalapeño peppers and the Roman sandwich….. that sandwich was different juicy full of flavor and melted in my mouth. The peppers crispy and delicious. Give them a try you will not be disappointed. Thank you all the way from Virginia Beach and Houston Texas“
