“Great atmosphere, friendly employees. Tried the avocado toast, they sprinkle crushed red pepper on the avocado and it gives it great flavor.“

“I came here for my birthday. Had a great time with my friends during the wine tasting. Staff was friendly and helpful. The live music was nice and he sang happy birthday to me ☺️ I’ll definitely return as a regular customer. Their options were unique and interesting.“

“This place is awesome, Carteret is a very peaceful city this place provides distraction and fun for a while in the quietest city in all of New Jersey and I love that, I love my quiet city and some fun on a Friday night ♥️come to karaoke Thursdays ?☀️?“

“Amazing staff and spirits selection. They also have amazingggg food and bread! Cant go wrong! Try the macaroni salad, and pasta salad!“

“Went here tonight. Had a wonderful experience. Friendly staff, pretty good food, A+ drinks and ambience. Had the tuna tartare- think they can sauce up a little bit and hit with a " vehicle" ( tostada, etc), but overall, fine!! And surprisingly fresh for the area. Grilled Caesar- fantastic. Croquettes ( jamon) more my husbands thing but the sauce was good and I totally enjoyed ! Staff is sweet and super excited to have you. Ambiance is gorgeous. And honestly- food, room for improvement but definitely a major highlight of the area.

For those of you submitting bad reviews, shame on you. I have to take a guess and say 1.) you think you have taste because you lived in Murray Hill for a couple years, did a stint and Hoboken then made your way to the suburbs of Jersey. News flash, it's northern Jersey. You should be appreciative this place is putting an effort in to offer a more elegant experience than the harvest restaurants and chipotle around town. These people are trying, and we should be encouraging this type of development in our town as much as possible. OR 2.) you're so violently upset by the costing of tapas that you blow their whole rating on that, you aren't the target audience.

Congratulations to this team for working with what you got, elevating the suburban experience, bringing friendly, attentive service, good food, and giving us back a little local zest in " going out for dinner" . Will keep coming back!“

“Surprised I never popped in here sooner. If there is one word to describe this place it’s “cozy”, and on a cold Friday night it fit the bill perfectly. Guiness on tap major plus. The two man blues band was great, and the owner Chris was very welcoming, introducing himself. I will be back for another pint of my favorite stout, for sure, maybe grab a bite also next time. Recommended! Cheers 👍“

“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Great food. Welcoming you from the door and checking on you throughout needs some work. Hostess wasn’t hospitable.“

“Amazing! We had a WONDERFUL experience. Food was excellent, service was EXCEPTIONAL, ambience was great! I think we found our new "place!" Our server, Elizabeth (Liz) was AMAZING! LOVED her! She was on point with everything and also adorable! She definitely contributed to why we will return and have this Seasons 52 our new meeting spot.“

“Me & Husband Love house 157. Our waitress Elijah is awesome . I always get the Rasta Pasta w. Grilled chicken . Hubbsz gets the lamb chops… love it here. Atmosphere and music amazing . Drinks also a hit.

Parking: Parking across the street at autozone.“

“Excellent - wonderful lunch menu with daily specials . Soups snd risottos are my favorites but the entrees are delicious and perfect amounts. The soufflés - from choc to mango - are to die for. Even the expressos are good.“

“I went to Batch today with colleagues. It was a perfect after-work spot with a great vibe, excellent service, and delicious small plates. My friends and I can't wait to go back.“

“I’m in the area for just one night and needed to figure out where I could get a quick dinner. I saw Sophie’s Bistro and after getting a recommendation from a colleague, I made a reservation. It’s a really casual place; not pretentious in any way, but the bartender was both talented and conversational and made something off menu to enjoy. For dinner, I decided on French Onion Soup and Steak Frites and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Besides this, the bread service they bake in house is amazing and I learned about the owner and how he treats his people and that made me even happier that I came in. I wish we had a place like this where I live; I would be there all the time. I’m not sure when I’ll be back in the area, but next time I’m near Somerset, I know where I’ll do dinner. Give it a try, you’ll be happy“

“My wife and I tried Veganized for the first (and definitely not the last time). The food was amazing! The staff is friendly and efficient and the ambiance from the art to the decor to the music is enchanting. If you want amazing vegan food in a hip atmosphere, you need to try Veganized.“

“Excellent restaurant! The staff were great, terrific atmosphere, the food was outstanding and they made my wifes birthday really special.“

“This spot is a hidden gem. I’ve been living in the area for about 15 years now and just randomly tried this place one day, and let me just say it not only exceeded my expectations but blew them out of the park. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is nothing short of simply the best. I would highkey recommend trying their freshly house made pizzas, they’re finger licking good as well as their pastas which are chefs kisses. I’m genuinely amazed at how not many people know about this restaurant. The owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, we talked for 15 minutes just about her business it was 2 minutes before they closed and she offered me all of the left over pizza they hadn’t sold that day FOR FREE. I’ve found my new favorite go to Italian spot.“

“Atmosphere, service and the food!!! How can you go wrong!!!“

“Absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend this place“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“If you're looking for a new and different dining experience in town, look no further than "Just Restaurant"! This hidden gem (literally hidden behind the BP gas station on Route 9 South in Old Bridge) boasts a fantastic selection of dishes. The food at "Just" is truly delicious and of excellent quality. From the appetizers to the desserts, every course is carefully prepared and presented beautifully. The chefs clearly know what they're doing here. The menu is diverse, offering something for everyone, and the prices are fair. The restaurant has a stylish and modern look, with sophisticated lighting and elegant furnishings. The Owner's invested a lot of time and money creating this warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, if your are looking for a restaurant that delivers on all fronts, give "Just" a try. My family and I were pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be going back soon.“
