Restaurant Lorena's offers a unique dining experience, with a jazz trio playing in the dining room on Sundays. The menu features dishes such as moules frites, pasta options, and a dry aged burger, alongside a modern French menu. The restaurant is known for its fabulous food and cocktails, with standout items like the cheese board, avocado toast, steak and eggs, crepe, and the off menu coffee pannacotta. Recent reviews highlight the excellent food, especially the crepe with mushrooms and tender, juicy duck breast, and the delicious lychee martini. The ambiance is praised as great, with live jazz providing a pleasant background during weekend brunch, which is highly recommended. The staff is attentive, friendly, and intuitive, making guests feel welcome and cared for. Desserts like the panna cotta are a highlight, and the restaurant's decorated setting adds to its charm. Although service can be slow at times and the wine list limited, the overall experience remains positive. Parking is easier to find on side streets, and the restaurant continues to grow and flourish, making it a favorite spot for brunch and dinner in NJ. Despite some minor issues, Lorena's remains a special destination for those seeking good food, great atmosphere, and live jazz.
