“I had so much fun at Meximodo. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was live, and the service was awesome. Our waitress was Michaela, who was nice, friendly, and did a great job checking in with us throughout the night. Definitely recommend going here!“

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner on Sunday! All of our food was delicious as always, brought to our table piping hot and seasoned to perfection. We’ve been there before but what, (or who), made everything extra special this time was our server, Donya. She was very attentive to our needs and made great recommendations on both food and drinks. Thank you Donya, we’ll be back!!“

“Service was excellent. Food was very good. But some things could be changed. For instance, serving French fries and potato chips with steak cheapens the meal. There were no form of green vegetables in the dinners. Vegetable consisted of some 4 or five dots of purried something and a few tiny cubes of maybe parsnips. Restaurant can't be contacted via phone, only internet. Big problem. Sometimes a customer needs to contact restaurant to speak to someone directly and guickly.. But this is impossible. Overall food was excellent and facility was nicely set up and very appealing looking.“

“WOW ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!! This place use to be a mediocre Mediterranean cuisine. They are now probably the best Mediterranean steakhouse in New Jersey. Table dining and experience is insane. They have probably one of the best specialty cocktails I have ever had. I would say they need a reward for all the amazing cocktails that this gentleman Tony Hage from the mountain of Lebanon has created. Their lamb chops are insane. Their tri-state sushi hand roll. Michelin star tuna bites are unreal. When I tell you, they mix berry rice pudding is to die for oh my God I highly suggest if you're from New Jersey to go to this restaurant. It is quite pricey, but I highly suggest to go there if you are poor and don't have money, don't waste your time go to Applebee's instead. This place needs three Michelin stars. Last time I was there I had the honors to meet PT da monster biggest A-list in New Brunswick. Don't forget the view is amazing.“

“Fantastic drinks and delicious food. I've loved every dish I've ordered and appreciate the vegetarian friendly options. I highly recommend their comfortably numb cocktail. It's my go to place for a girls night.P.S. Please bring back the beet and burrata sourdough!“

“Great place for fine Indian cousine. Cocktails are amazing. Food is delicious. Rodrigo, Dennis, Victor, and our favorite Govind provides excellent customer service. We love coming here for private events, family dinners and couples night out.“

“Really good food and atmosphere. Watch out for the automatic tip on the receipt. They didn't include it on Thursday but did on Friday. Usually I tip 20% but when places automatically add 18%, I don't tip extra when places auto tip. They also included a tip line even tho they added an auto tip lol, not falling for that trick.“

“This little bar is great for dinner, drinks with friends, taco Tuesday, drinks on the porch when the weather is nice or just a random drink after work. The place is beautiful inside, and the food is delicious. I have yet to meet a staff member who is rude, inattentive or unkind in anyway. We will definitely be coming back for a long time.“

“Great food, drinks, and ambiance! Perfect for a date or girls night. The only thing that bothered us was when our plates were being cleared from the table while we were still eating. We also felt rushed to place our food order. This was pretty early in the evening (8pm) so most of the restaurant was empty. I’m not sure why we were made to feel rushed. Other than that it was a very nice place.“

“Danny is by far the BEST server we have experienced! He is extremely attentive but most importantly he wants to make sure the customer leaves happy. He goes out of his way to make sure everything comes out to your liking. He is a huge asset to Vine & OakKid-friendliness: We have brought our granddaughtersWheelchair accessibility: The entrance has a ramp“

“I recently dined at this restaurant and had a delightful experience. The fried calamari and flatbread appetizers were delicious, setting a high standard for the rest of the meal. For the entree, I opted for the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The food quality was excellent, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. Apart from the food, the atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. The ambiance was inviting, and the cleanliness of the place added to the overall pleasant dining experience. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall positive vibe of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The combination of delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service makes it a standout choice.“

“Every dish ordered was made fresh. Everything came out piping hot. The flauta apps were really good and stuffed with a good amount of meat.Salsa needed jalapenos - or some kick element. Chile Crema Pollo was light on the sauce and heat (not spicy).Of course, churros are always a win. You can order then by singles - got 2.Interior design is aesthetically pleasing. Would come back.Parking: Parking is part of the casa lot“

“Cozy little Italian restaurant. Authentic Italian music plays over the speakers which sets a nice vibe. They immediately bring out hot, crispy Italian bread and seasoned olive oil...which is always a nice touch. Food was brought out timely and was delicious. Service was excellent. Overall a great experience. I would have given 5 stars except that the food is a tad expensive.“

“First time at Clyz since new ownership. Was a St. Patty's Day work celebration so no ordering from regular menu but rather a buffet setup with about 7 different dishes. Food was good. Service was great from waitress coming around for drink orders. They had orange whiskey for my fav orange whiskey mule! I and the coworkers I spoke to would have preferred not having the lights dimmed as it was way too dark and there was no need for such "mood" lighting.“

“Excellent restaurant! Small but very inviting. The menu is eclectic yet down to earth. Daily specials are available. We had the baked clams spl as well as Rosalies salad. For entree, we had the veal piccata and the filet of sole. Dessert was the homemade cheese cake! Utterly delicious.“

“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“

“Expensive, but you get what you pay for. This place is a great date atmosphere! The menu is large and diverse options are available, including the Stage left steakhouse portion. The Buratta appetizer was by far the best buratta I have had to date. Drinks were good and reasonably strong, proportionate to the price. Will definitely be back!“

“Spent $500 dollars here eating and drinking. What a great time! The owner is so personable and welcoming. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is elegant. Love this place! Mango mojito is a must try! We tasted so many appetizers that were beyond delicious.“

“The place was very relaxing before 6pm… the service was very pleasant, well-prepared drinks… the only detail that could be changed and made sure is that the water does not have a good taste, it is not at all natural or pleasant, the way it feels, the rest everything was good ? ??“

“My experience began as soon as we arrived. we were kindly greeted and assisted by 2 hostesses . Then we were sat within seconds & once we settled in, the waiter took our drinks and appetizers. Throughout our dine, the waiter and team rushed to our needs. Overall a great experience. I will be returning. Thank you“

“The wait was long, but what do you expect on a Friday. Especially with no reservations. It was amazing. The sushi rolls, Christmas, shrimp tempura and Hawaii were delicious. The Asian ribs on the appetizer menu. Amazing. Everything we had on the appetizer menu was done. We were full and then ordered some sushi. The drinks were strong. But they adjusted it to our liking. I'll server was great and the bartender was amazing.“

“Miguel is awesome!! He made sure we had superb service and felt well taken care of. We don’t get to go in dates much, but he definitely made it worthy going out tonight!! Ask for Miguel!! You won’t regret it!Parking: Super easy and convenient.“

“Great place except for female seating us. A definite attitude. Would not let us have a vacant booth. Luckily, other staff in charge helped us get to a booth .There were other booths available and no one got seated in table where she tried to put us, nor did all booths fill up until we were almost done eating. We were there early with a reservation.There was no reason for her behavior.“

“First time at Stage House Tavern yesterday day. My girlfriend and I had an amazing time. Our waiter Makayla was extremely helpful with offering us food and drinks tips. We order the smoked chipotle wings and mozzarella sticks. The wings were delicious and saucy. The mozzarella sticks were filled with cheese and the marinara sauce tasted home made. The entree portions are plentiful. We ordered the Cajun shrimp pastas and steak frites. We need two to go plates. The manager Bill was also extremely cool and making sure each and every guess was having a great time. The restaurant has plenty of parking, the inside of the restaurant is spacious, and they also have outside seating when the weather calls for it. We’ll definitely be back.“
