“If you like Spanish Portuguese food, this will satisfy whatever you feel like steaks to chops to fish to Mariscos 🦀. I took an order of garlic pork chops which were delicious and a great value to go for dinner later! The waiter I don't know if I'm spelling it right, Solo was terrific and attentive and he had a full bar to deal with too! I will probably go there today again!

“I have visited multiple times and highly recommend this place. The food is authentic Ecuadorian homemade cuisine, and it is truly one of the best Ecuadorian restaurants in NJ. Give it a try! The owners and staff are exceptionally kind. Experience: 10/10.“

“My usual is a 10 piece dark meat (legs & thighs). I think this is the best fried chicken in town. Better than Popeyes and the other big chains. Prices have certainly gone up the last 3 years but that's because of inflation and supply chain disruptions.“

“We recently visited Oh Calamares in Kearny, NJ, and the food is still absolutely excellent. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic.

We had the lomo saltado, which was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the shrimp chupe, which was rich, comforting, and full of amazing seafood flavor. Both dishes were outstanding.

That said, we couldn’t help but notice that the restaurant seemed a bit less busy than before. Also, they only had one server working, which could definitely slow down the ordering process and even delay getting the check at the end.

Even with that, the experience was still very positive, and the quality of the food remains top-notch. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would absolutely recommend it.“

“Order from here a lot since it's a few blocks away from where I live. They're nice people who make good food. Even give you some extras if you order enough food. Definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for some good American Chinese food.“

“Went today for my first time. Kimberly was my server and she was amazing. Can’t wait to go back. The food and service was great!“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

The food was some of the best I have had, as someone who has done a great deal of the tasting menus in NYC, some multiple times. It rivaled Le Bernadin in the quality and creativity of seafood preparation. Some of the sauces were exquisite, especially the wagyu course which honestly I think should replace the quail. The mole was really special. My personal favorite courses were all the early ones. I thought the kamasu flavors were incredibly well balanced and the blue fin tuna Monaka was spectacularly beautiful and a little triumph in two bites. I loved the play on fish and chips and the sea urchin of course was one of the best things I have ever tasted. I think it could become iconic in the same way Ripert’s tuna tartare over foie gras is.
I have a few notes on ways to improve.
First of all, I think if you are doing a wine tasting that costs so much extra, the first three courses should have at least two different wines. We ran out of wine before the blue fin tuna, not realizing the glass for was two complete courses, a minor complaint. And if you have done the wine pairing, I would appreciate the names of the wines along with the courses when you are given the printed menu at the end. Again, just little gripes but these things matter to your guests. The wine pairings were lovely and I especially liked the two sakes. If you are paying extra for the Wagyu and the wine pairing, the Wagyu should come with that Bordeaux at no additional cost.

I wish that fewer supplements were offered. I think truffle shavings and the extra course are fine. But it’s a little overwhelming to be offered 5 supplements at the beginning of the meal and then have to decide where to spend more money.
While all the staff was incredibly thoughtful and kind I did find some of them to be somewhat robotic at times. Our head waiter must have said three times within the first 90 seconds the same phrase something along the lines of “Thank you for choosing to celebrate with us.” I just got the impression that maybe he was a little tired and running through the motions. And I understand that they have a tough job keeping track of all the guests and who is there for what reason. But at the end they brought us a small cake that said Happy Birthday, while we were there for our anniversary (which the card at our table said). It was totally fine and my husband and I laughed it off and wished each other happy birthday. But small details like that should definitely not be ignored when they go wrong. I thought the space itself lacked intimacy to be honest, but didn’t mind that so much.
I personally was completely underwhelmed by the ice cream soufflé. It was all style over substance. I preferred the palette cleanser for taste. It might be just my personal taste but I want ice cream to be thick, custardy and not icy and taste mostly like air…? 😂“

“cozy atmosphere. the food was just the right size and delicious. lobster rolls were a delicacy. will go back with family“

“A wonderful Yemeni restaurant .. great people… great food… and the big circle bread: the rashoosh. They have the fahsa, they have the kibdeh, and of course they have the haneeth but they also have Yemeni favs that are not usually found at other restaurants: shafoot, Sana’a kebab, and roti bread! But my fav.. that rice. Hands down the best rice I’ve had in a long time! A def must try!“

“Took my visiting sister there on a Tuesday evening. She was taken aback by the level of service that made us feel like VIPs! After getting a great window seat, my Sis jokingly said, "How romantic, too bad I'm here with my brother". Our gorgeous server Michelle was spectacular. She made multiple trips to the bar to find 'just the right wine' for my sister's particular taste and made two special requests to the kitchen on our behalf. Michelle's calming presence and 'in the moment' attitude made us feel very special. Being an intellectual herself, Michelle engaged with us most excellently in conversation. I've had a few nice meals before at the Chart House, but this by far was the best experience ever thanks to Michelle.“

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

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

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

“Snagged a pre-Valentine's reservation close to home for an easy win. We showed up way too early, but the host welcomed us like we were right on time and led us into a cozy / warm dining room that felt just right. Our waitress was sweet and savvy, breaking down the portions and casually reminding us that leftovers are tomorrow's blessing. We shared the dry-aged porterhouse for two with simple margaritas to seal the deal. Let's just say... we'll be back.“

“AMAZINGLY gorgeous space that offers such a wonderful menu, atmosphere and vibe!!! The food was excellent…the presentation spectacular and how they manage to highlight every single detail of the experience leaving no stone (or oyster) unturned amazed us!!! We can’t wait to go back!!! BRAVO!!!!!“

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

“Perfect lobster roll ...so tasty 😋“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“disfrutamos de un excelente servicio y Daniel el camareronos brindo atencion“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón“

“Where can one find fish fresher than at this restaurant that is a fish market during the day? In my opinion, nowhere in this area does the seafood in this area compare.\n\nThis is our third time here in four weeks, and they haven’t disappointed us. Incredible service with an extensive menu at fair prices, this place is a must to try.\n\nKenny, not sure if he’s the manager, apologized for running out of steamers. He assured us that if I call in advance to reserve, he will hold an order for me.\n\nWe shall return!!“

“The self-service hot pot was an amazing experience. There was a wide variety of fresh ingredients, including meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles, all neatly displayed and easy to choose from. The soup bases were rich and flavorful, with options to suit different tastes, from mild to spicy. Everything was clean and well organized, making the dining process smooth and enjoyable. The sauces bar was especially impressive, allowing everyone to create their own perfect dipping sauce. Overall, it was great value for the price, and I would definitely come back again with friends and family.“

“Listen, let me tell you that EVERY THING was fabulous. The food was delicious (branzino, calamari, fahsa, pita, and even the adena tea). The service was friendly and warm. The atmosphere was great. And the prices were VERY reasonable. I love this place and will definitely be back again and again.“

“We visited our friends in Newport last weekend and decided to try Blue Anchor for brunch after seeing its great reviews on social media. The decor is bright and clean, with a beautiful view of the river.

Overall, the food was delicious with reasonable prices and generous portions. Our favorite was the flavorful, juicy burger with perfectly balanced ingredients. The fried cod in the fish tacos was also crispy and satisfying.“

“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Very nice bar restaurant. you can drink, eat and karaoke🎤. Nice gathering place.“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“First time and they did not disappoint😊Food was fabulous!“

“I've been buying fresh fish, as well as cooked fish for some years now, & have been TOTALLY satisfied. Dan is ALWAYS beyond pleasant, & meets your special requests !! ❤“

“Restaurante maravilhoso e muito acolhedor. Comida muito saborosa de extrema qualidade!“

“The food was magnificent! The owner engaged in conversation with us. The striped bass was out of this world! I will definitely come back.“

“I highly recommend this fish market. Owner is very nice and accommodating. My gma needed 150$ dollars worth of whiting but she wanted it for a different date. Anyway i returned to pick it up and the fish was ready. All cleaned and packaged nice. Highly recommend!“

“This is such a lovely place with a warm, friendly ambience. I brought my son here on Christmas Eve, and we had a lovely time. The chocolate martinis are amazing and the wine list is very good. We started with perfectly chilled and delicious oysters and then enjoyed aranciata with crab and a lovely lobster pasta dish. The vibe is inviting for families with young children as well and there is also a nice bar for adults only. This is a great place that I will return to soon !“

“I love this company because it's convenience of being close in NJ, the company sells to individuals customers most only sell to business. I bought Saba mackerel and tobikko it was better and fresh or as good as in any high end Sushi restaurant. I can't wait to order again and the minimum to order is $40 and close enough to pickup in Jersey City. ty Jorge Alonso.“

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

“Awesome food and service!“
