By far one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had. As a business owner myself, I am not quick to give a negative review yet this place lost every opportunity to make things right. We called ahead after an event an NJPAC for an early dinner. We were quickly sat which was a good start. We ordered calamari as an appetizer. I can tell from the first bite that it wasn’t quality food or preparation. The crispy coating came off flaking and I had a hard time grabbing the rubbery calamari underneath with a fork. I ordered a ceasar chicken salad as it felt like a fairly safe option-I was wrong. Before the plate even hit my table I can see how hard the chicken pieces were. Clearly NOT freshly made and looks like it has been warmed up several times. We couldn’t get a waiter to even look our way for a long time much less ask us how the food was. We had to flag someone down and tell them. She told who I believe was the supervisor. No acknowledgement again for a good amount of time. One of our party ordered medium burger and it came overcooked and saturated in whatever sauce was in it. We felt hostage to the place as we wanted nothing more than to leave yet couldn’t get acknowledgement, resolution, a bill or ownership of this experience. The waitress ultimately came with our check. And guess what? It had “suggested gratuity” INCLUDED on our bill and credit card charge which we had to cancel out. It is unfortunate as this is a venue that is well positioned being close to NJPAC yet that days experience has puzzled all of us about the ratings and reviews thus far which is what we based our decision to go there on. I understand that an establishment has an off day or maybe a different chef. Total and complete disregard for the quality of food that comes out or the experience tells me a lot about management. It is often when things don’t go well that businesses have an opportunity to win over customers and create loyalty. There was ZERO ownership, effort or acknowledgment here hence my 1 star review.

Very disappointing experience. We ordered calamari, chicken Cesar salad and cheeseburger. The chicken was very stale and rubbery. It appears to have been rewarmed several times before serving. Order burger medium - came overcooked. The calamari was also very rubbery. I cannot understand how this restaurant has any more 2 stars honestly.

Our team had reservations earlier today, Joseph our server was amazing, he saved the day! The food was okay , but I was disappointed to learn that house items such as the calamari, the chicken parmigiana, and the surf and turf were unavailable during our visit. For that reason, I’m leaving a four-star review. However, Joseph’s excellent service and thoughtful plate recommendations truly elevated the experience to what felt like five-star hospitality. I will return, and I hope the restaurant will be better stocked on my next visit.

Drinks and service were good, lamb was gamey and overdone. Veggies were mushy. Bathroom was dirty. Servers were pleasant and hard working.
Went here before NJPAC. Food was excellent. Service was slow. Value good. Surprised restaurant was pretty vacant. It's easy to get to if parked in Military garage and easy access to NJPAC.

You can do much better in the area. The restaurant was very short of help (all working hard). Once we sat, no one checked up on us for more than 5 minutes. We were pressed for time and put in our order with drinks together. A salad that was ordered never came, steak ordered without potatoes was served on top of mashed potatoes. Would have liked a refill on water. Not a great experience.

Just went in for a quick lunch and super impressed. The steak sandwich was wonderful: tender meat and wonderful blend of flavors. I ordered it medium and it came out perfectly - not easy to do on thin pieces of steak! Well done!!!
