“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.”

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.”

“Tremendous Italian dining experience, get a table in the basement as it is more quiet and more private.. Pasta was delicious, the wine recommended by the waiter, a bearded friendly Spanish guy was great as was the Tirasmsu which was out of this world. Ate there twice and it was the best dining experience in New Brunswick.”

“This was the best experience I've ever had in my life. The food was great. The ambiance was amazing. The service was outstanding. It was my birthday and the attention to detail from the birthday card to the drink with my name on it and the crown with the candle was beyond my expectations. This place is 1000/10. If you have a special occasion or just want a beautiful experience you must visit Mezcal. My waiter Danny P deserves an acknowledgement for his amazing service.”

“We chose La Colina Mexican Cantina in Warren NJ to celebrate 3 birthdays on 4/5/25. We were a party of 12 & tried a few of the beautifully crafted cocktails that were out of this world and so tasty we had to order more. We began our feast with a couple of platters of Nachos El Gordo that were huge and absolutely delicious and went perfectly with the chosen wines, margaritas, and assorted cocktails our family ordered. The cocktails were of the beautiful quality that we've only seen on TV during cooking shows or restaurant series. The edible flowers and the smoke emitting drinks were amazing. We were served by a wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive waitress. She was able to answer every question and had plenty of patience for our crowd who were amazed by the menu. Especially the "Smart" menus that detail each item at the flip of your finger. What an upscale & impressive touch that is. After we ordered our entrees we enjoyed more cocktails and had some time to talk and enjoy the unbelievable decor that seemed to have an endless amount of thought and class put into the decor of this authentic Cantina. The service was beyond excellent and our meals came out hot and enticing and as pleasing to the eyes as it was to our pallets. This was authentic delicious, beautiful meals that made the party seem like were were enjoying fantastic Cantina style food right in Mexico. I highly recommend the burritos, enchiladas, the Mexican Caesar salad, fajitas and I'm sure that rest of the menu has to be outstanding if everything the 12 of us had was that delicious. Besides the wonderful service, drinks, food and authentic atmosphere, topping the celebration off was when the owner came over to our table , introduced himself and made sure everything was as fabulous as possible. Believe me it was. Then the Head Chef came out and asked if everything up to our expectations to which we all agreed this place out did every single Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. I highly recommend La Colina in Warren NJ and I know you won't be disappointed in the food , atmosphere or the service. We surely will be back !!!!”

“The mrs and i had our first date here and come every year for the anniversary, about time i left a review for the awesome food and service they provide, drinks are immaculate and the most impressive parts are the improvements over the years as well as the service. most recently we were served by tiana (i’m like 99% sure that was her name if not im sorry) and she was amazing, great energy and timely service and it seemed like she was genuinely happy to be there. until next year house 157 never change (although they did take away the lobster mac and cheese which was my favorite they added a whole plethora of new stuff to try AND in general the quality went up. a worthy sacrifice)”

“Made reservations for 630 on 10/17, the host was going to sit us at a small round table in the front, I explained to her that the amount of food we were going to order was too much for this table and she quickly accommodated me to a bigger table. Then , we had the most sweetest waitress Areej , she was well mannered, always smiling and suggested foods to try! Alllll the food was phenomenal! I never Ate chicken pot pie, but those chicken pot pie empanadas, were absolutely out of this world. Definitely will be coming back soon!!”

“Have eaten here twice now and both times were exactly what you’d hope for. Exceptional burgers, exceptional chicken, solid beer list, and good service. Love when the windows are open when the weather is nice. Solid patio as well. Will specifically call out the spicy chicken sandwich. One of the best I’ve had. My family also enjoys their salads quite a bit.”

“Recently came to perform at the drag brunch for Chixx in Sweethearts Cabaret, nothing short of fantastic and stunning. The owners were so incredibly respectful, they provided such a safe space for performers to get ready and relax between sets, aswell as bringing such a fantastic and fun environment (and tasty drinks and food might i add)! i can’t wait to come back to either perform or just watch the shows here, i highly recommend you come if you ever have the chance 🫶🏻”

“My first time going was today for the start of restaurant week to celebrate a friends birthday. Although there was only one woman working the bar and trying to take care of tables alone (she was very pleasant and was doing her best) I still enjoyed my time there. I must say the special three course meal was outstanding for restaurant week. The roasted pear and arugula flatbread was outstanding and should be added to the regular menu. The entree was great and the crème brûlée dessert was exceptional. Chef Shannon came out to talk to us as we were the first customers for restaurant week to try the special menu items. He created the dishes and we let him know everything was delicious. My only complaint was they needed more staff on hand to be able to keep up with the amount of patrons.Someone finally came to assist the young lady who was working alone but she could have used two additional people when they opened. will prolly b bck again before the week is over for the special before it’s off the menu.”
