What is the point of a reservation for a jazz brúnch if you are seated at the table furthest from the musicians. Asked to be reseated was told it wasn't possible, literally there were ten to twenty tables available closer to the music. Couldn't hear or see the band while eating my overpriced breakfast. First time last time.
Good solid food.

They have few vegetarian options that are really good. Service was awesome and atmosphere was pretty lively with live Jazz band. Will definitely visit again.

Had some trouble finding it because the Google Maps positioning was not accurate. Parking was easier to find on the side streets versus the Main Street.
Service in the restaurant was great. The food was pretty good.
The cheese board was a solid choice. The avocado toast was delicious. The steak and eggs were beautifully done. The cocktails were on point.

One of our favorite restaurants in NJ! NYC quality. Great modern French menu. Highly recommend the crepe and the off menu coffee pannacotta

I will start by saying I’ve always been a Lorena’s fan. I usually go for dinner but today we went for lunch. They had a two course Prix Fixe. The mushroom bisque was outstanding! The drizzled truffle oil put it over the top. Everyone at our table had it and everyone absolutely loved it. I also had the grilled vegetable burrata sandwich. The vegetables were tender and flavorful and the pesto sauce remarkable. Lorena’s is one of the very few restaurants that never disappoints.

Rare date night with my husband - we missed our reservation but the host was accommodating (and nice about it!) and sat us immediately
The food was excellent. We took our waitress’s recommendation and got the Porkchop and Trout - both were fantastic. Delicious flavors and cooked perfectly. My husband had oysters as well and said they were great!
Out server Amanda was lovely. Attentive and helpful and very good at her job.
We can’t wait to go back

Bucket list food from a non foodie. Mushroom soup and mushroom and crab meat crepe are literally to die for. Then came the lobster risotto. Wow.

Wonderful dining experience! Both the duck and the pork chop special were terrific. Service was on point and the vibe of the restaurant was sophisticated but not at all stuffy.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lorena’s, a charming French restaurant that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I stepped in, the exceptional customer service stood out. The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making thoughtful recommendations that enhanced the dining experience.
The highlight of the meal began with the foie gras. It was perfectly prepared—smooth, rich, and flavorful, served with a delicate garnish that elevated the dish without overpowering it. For the main course, I opted for the trout, which was a masterpiece. The skin was beautifully crispy, providing a satisfying contrast to the tender, flaky fish beneath.
Happy Hour is from 3-5:30pm Tues - Thurs
The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, with an ambiance that felt both refined and inviting.

My friends and I had a holiday celebration brunch at Lorena’s this Sunday and it was great. We had a really large party and the manager and servers were excellent about handling the large group. I am appreciative of their patience and customer service. The restaurant is beautiful. We also had the pleasure of enjoying the live band which was a treat in itself. The food was good, we had many dishes both appetizers and entrees as again, we were a large party. The manager comped us a dessert which was excellent. It was strawberry in flavor but I don’t know what it was, it’s pictured here. LOL. I would recommend Lorena’s and I would return.
Parking: Parking is challenging. I recommend going a little early to consider your parking efforts.
