“This Playa Bowls location is the most fresh, flavorful and consistent of the ones I’ve been to (Philly suburbs mostly). I want to know that if I order the same thing a few times in a row it’s going to taste the same (not the case at some places). The staff is friendly, too.”

Would definitely come back the next time we are in town.”

The marble pumpernickel/rye bread stood up to the supremely juicy meat, sauerkraut, and cheese on the sandwich; all made for a delicious combination not to be paralleled anywhere around this area. Whenever Harry has this pastrami on special (they don't always have it), I'll be there for this melt in you mouth delight.”

“Mueller’s Bakery gave us the wedding cake of our dreams. For our beach-themed cake, we wanted something unique, with a sense of humor, but still a bit romantic. So we sent them reference photos of my and my husband’s real-life bathing suits, and on top of our delicious two-tier cake, our toppers were two beach chairs and our little bathing suits made of fondant. (The joke was that our topper bride and groom ditched the cake and ran off skinny dipping.) They even put little footprints in the cookie-crumble sand on the top of the cake. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with how it turned out, and how it tasted!”

“Thankfully we got a table as walk ins, but the place was pretty busy. It’s a very beach vibe and the menu reflects all of the summer favorites. We got the Korean wings and avocado fries for starters. The wings were good, but I would pass on the avocado fries. I decided to take a chance and go for the tuna bowl. To my surprise, the tuna was delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly and it filled me up. My boyfriend got the double burger and he could barely finish it. His only commentary was that the waffle fries were trash.”

“This restaurant is one of the very few to consistently have 4.8 and higher ratings since it first burst onto the scene less than a decade ago. They established and proved themselves as an outstanding culinary stronghold in a small restaurant space on route 88 for several years. But, the unrelenting demand and extensive waitlist prompted the owners to jump up the atmosphere to match their superlative upscale dining. They moved just 2 miles into a more suitable, spacious and comfortable setting, with soaring ceilings, and an upscale vibe. The founders, Dominic and Nicki, work the room and their very prestigious regulars w finesse and gracious hospitality, and the food remains top notch! Anyone who dares to ping them with a subpar review, clearly needs to rethink their gastronomic goals! That being said, this place is right up there with, and if not superseding, nyc heavyweights Il Mulino and it truly an extraordinary experience of top notch gourmet mixed with old school Italian ambiance! If I could give it 10 stars I would. If the Sopranos were food, this would be it!”
