“Outstanding food, service, atmosphere! Definately a place to have a great night!“

“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great place to hang out with friends, food was ok , I ordered grill chicken and I needed to be more cooked inside , other than that everything was great , I would order something else next time but music and drinks was great , fun ambience would def recommend“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“My friends love this place! We come here for happy hour all the time. Drinks are affordable, and cocktails are well made. Food comes straight off the fire, hot and flavorful, and service on point. I must mention our favorite bartender and server, Susana, for always coordinating our food and drinks in a timely manner. She is professional, polite, and tends to us with a warm smile. Ask for her! I would recommend this place for couples' night out and group of friends looking for a fun, safe environment to have a good time. Tell your family and friends to come to Le Roi Lounge and enjoy yourselves.“

“Great place had fun with friends. Good friendy staff an food looks really good. Even though I didn't actually order any myself this first visit. Also 2 for 1 shots all night definitely helped even more. They also have touch tunes jukebox. Recommend to all visit this establishment.“

“We are BEYOND ECSTATIC with our wedding cake and all other pastries and desserts provided by Calandra’s Bakery! No other bakery bakes your cake at 3:00AM the day of your wedding and it shows! Super fresh moist and SUPER DELICIOUS! Every guests commented about the spectacular presentation…simple yet elegant carrying our live orchid theme with LIFELIKE piped orchid petals cascading down each layer! What a joy to have such an unforgettable and memorable experience of knowing our family and friends will remember our wedding cake as much as we will! We had the choice of several bakeries but must end by telling this story…we had checked out a couple of bakeries but after a final wedding gown fitting we decided to visit Calandras. Unannounced we asked to see the person who could help us with our wedding cake. Calandra’s is an incredible “complex” and was extremely busy place but we were directed to Aisha Maliki. Aisha dropped everything presented us with an exquisite tray of every wedding cake option in bite size proportions all fresh and delicious. She gave us coffee and tea and gave us time to talk amongst ourselves in a relaxed atmosphere until our decision was unanimous! She then proceeded to take us through the endless design options available and helped us tweak every little detail until alas our vision for the PERFECT wedding cake had come to life! Mind you we did this unannounced but Aisha couldn’t have been more cordial personable professional and most of all friendly! We left SO elated to leave having one of the most important wedding checkboxes checked and feeling we just had welcomed a new family member into the fold! Based on our incredible experience with Aisha and Calandra’s your choice for YOUR wedding cake and pastries should be Calandra’s! You will definitely not be sorry!“

“Great cocktails and knowledgeable staff“

“Date night at the Rabbit Hole! Reservations were easy to make and our hostess was very kind and quick to seat us. Our server, John, was incredibly friendly, explained all the specials, and gave great recommendations. He had a wonderful sense of humor too! The vibes were awesome - loved the wonderland theming and the moody lighting. Great date spot! The food was definitely a highlight. We got the lobster mac (which was made with risotto) and the ricotta and sausage pizza. Would definitely recommend both. The cocktails were beautiful and creative. We will definitely be returning!“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Chose this place based on the menu one Sunday when a friend and I decided to meet last minute, and I'm very happy that I did.
The inside is nice and bright & very cozy. The staff are wonderfully attentive and pleasant.
The Lemon curd pancakes were scrumptious- even my 10-months-old daughter loved them. The Challah bread French Toast was delicious. Both dishes are shareable, and I'll do that next time. I will definitely be back! Of course the parking is precarious because of the restaurant's location but it's worth it.“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“Great food and wine! variety of cocktails, appetizers and entrées. Spacious place with chic decor.“

“You’d never think this little spot in a strip mall area is anything, but it’s some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! Also the kimchi they give right when you sit down is amazing. I am a huge sushi fanatic and this is definitely Top 3 I’ve ever had. Service is wonderful.“

“Welcoming, friendly staff, great food, great drinks and great vibes! I love this place. Loved the salmon bites, catfish sliders and their greens. 🍔 🥬 🍷 🍹“

“We recently hosted a family dinner at Ralph’s Sports Bar. Ralph and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that we were happy. My family thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. My aunt said the chicken francese was the best that she has had and the wings and burgers were outrageous. We are looking forward to our next event at Ralph’s!“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“Totally enjoyed our first visit to this new gem. The decor is creative, the cocktails are delicious and the food is excellent. The staff is attentive and very friendly! Wishing them all the best and hoping this place is around for a long time!!“

“The review that I gave is based on the fact I that the two times that my husband & I was there the service was very slow, the food was just warm and we asked the server to please make sure the food is hot & during brunch the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. I might also add we don't understand the strict dress code on your website after seeing everything you mentioned unacceptable was accepted.“

“I love their vegan options. Everything is so fresh and tastes great. My go to place when I want good burgers and shakes.

Vegetarian options: They actually have vegan options which is why I love ordering from them. They make it taste great and don’t skip on the flavor and texture.“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Too bad I live out of state because this is my FAVORITE restaurant in NJ. Wonderful staff and food. Not as noisy as other places because of the decor/layout. The prices seem a little high but when you can't even finish your food - that's a good deal. The menu is phenomenal. If you can't find something to eat here then you are insane.“

“Everything was pretty much perfect except for that lobster malfadine. literally what was that? probably the worst thing I’ve ever tasted. Wow. Vanilla & Lobster? Maybe im missing something. Jesus Christ. I can’t even exaggerate how terrible it was. Apps were great and drinks were ok. Mind boggled by that pasta still“

“Great food very good service“

“Tony the manager went out of his way to drive to the bakery (where I was) and drop off cheesecake from the restaurant right at closing time! It was so nice of him to go to all that trouble for me and the cheesecake was delicious!! Thank you!!“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Had the absolute best experience here. We started out with a complementary Mojito which was delicious. The tour was very informative and thorough. The tasting portion of the event was amazing as well. Afterwards we were able to sit and fellowship, we even ordered some cocktails from the menu and left with a bottle of the in house made whiskey!! 10/10 would highly recommend. I cannot wait to go back.“

“This place deserves more than a 5 star. This was my first time coming to this location. Out of all the years living in Clifton, NJ, I had no idea about this place and I will be back. I’m not much or a drinker, Bourbon and Whiskey at that. However, I was here celebrating my dear friend 43rd Birthday and I said “Why Not” and boy was I glad I did. I had the “Hibiscus Lemonade” and “Year Five 2.0”. The first drink was great, but that second one “Chef’s Kiss”. But what made my experience grand was the customer service. The team were so pleasant and fun to be around. Thank you Silk City for an amazing time.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“Great restaurant good food and friendly staff.“

“food is decent
service a bit slow bc the bartender is busy at the bar so tables in dining room fall to a lower priority. makes sense though because they're not that busy.

it doesn't have the dive bar vibe it had before...“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“I had it delivered. Best ribs I ever had. So much meat and fell right off the bone. Fabulous Mac and Cheese a wonderful taste.“

“great place great football menu other food is good as well“

“This is my favorite spot!! The drinks are always great and the food is amazing! The freshest ingredients and the taste is literally unmatched! Linda is my favorite bartender she always remembers my drink and food order, always friendly and warm, and goes out of her way to make me my own olive oil sauce to dip the bread in!! Love it and highly recommend!!“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“amazing restaurant wrong neighborhood.“

“Fantastic food, good service. I highly recommend this place.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Food was excellent but took a very long time to come out. We inly saw our waitress three times during the 1.5 hour visit; to take our order, to check how the food was tasting (after a 40 minute wait to get the food) and to drop the bill. Definitely expect to wait and plan accordingly.“

“Highly recommend Gus’ Last Word. This neighborhood establishment is cozy and chic at the same time. It is a perfect balance of retro and modern vibes. I was comforted by yummy chicken pot pie and unique cocktails. It has a lovely bar, with lounge areas, dining section and outdoor space. Shout out to the chefs, Christian the bartender and delightful Erin who provided great welcome, informed explanations of beverages and food, and great service. I will be back.“

“Great food, great people and staff“
