“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“Had dinner here on a Friday well before closing. Upon arrival we noticed the restaurant was not terribly busy which was a plus figuring service would be faster boy were we wrong.

The server took our order and did not return once, a different server brought out our food. We have to flag a person down to get the check and observed our served just sitting at the bar or smoking, we waited for about half an hour. It really felt like we were bothering our server.

The food was wonderful though. I would give it one more chance.“

“This is a hidden jewel. We were spending the night at a nearby airport hotel looking for dinner. We found this and took a chance. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, but don't be fooled this a a Tapas Bar treat. Food, Service, and Drinks were fantastic!“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“A special shoutout to Roger who greets me with a warm smile and makes me feel right at home. His attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism turn an ordinary meal into a wonderful experience. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and I truly appreciate it. Every time I travel, I make it a point to stop by this restaurant — it’s truly one of the best spots in the airport. The food is always fresh and delicious, It’s become my favorite little tradition to relax here before catching my flight. Absolutely recommend it to anyone passing through — a perfect mix of comfort, quality, and kindness!“

“Fomos muito bem recebidos e o serviço maravilhoso! 5 estrelas á equipa do Allegro! Estávamos de férias e adoramos que voltamos aquase todos os dias! Parabéns ao Miguel e resto da equipa!! O salmão estava delicioso e o camarão maravilhoso!! Se pudesse dar 10 estrelas dava com certeza!“

“Had a wonderful time here for my birthday yesterday! Service and food were excellent, especially this tuna tar-tare Roxy-style with whipped avocado and caviar. The management also went out of their way to make my night, which I really appreciate. The Roxy continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in town!“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“Michael is absolutely wonderful! From walking within the establishment until leaving he was great, very informative, patient and kind! The cheese board was very good, the squash and mozzarella flatbread were good as well and the truffles were yummy! Very pleased with everything we tasted and ordered. Definitely recommend this wine tasting room!“

“The fig and prosciutto pizza was so delicious! This is a must try 🤌🏽“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Everything was beautiful , service food & decor !“

“Great food and wine! variety of cocktails, appetizers and entrées. Spacious place with chic decor.“

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

“The food is delicious and Mihai is the best waiter!“

“Excellent service and food. Accommodating for dietary needs. They even took our group earlier than our reservation which was much appreciated as we were all from out of town and heading home immediately following lunch. Roasted potatoes, chicken francese, eggplant parm and sausage with peppers all got rave reviews.“

“We were helped by Mac, and Danielle, and Simon. Four of us came in, it was packed, they gave us a table right away, and we’re super attentive. Very sweet, kind, and accommodating, we felt right at home. Loved the comfortable atmosphere. They have AMAZING cocktails. Highly recommend the Empress martini and the Nutty Irishman martini. We will be back for Sunday live músic- thank you Delia’s staff <3“

“Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark.

Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be.

Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy.

Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.“

“The service was Excellent and the food was outstanding highly recommend!!!“

“Bistro107 is always amazing. The staff is friendly and the food is always great. They work to provide a great dining experience.“

“This place is so romatic and the staff and food are great. We left happy and ready to return soon.“

“We dined at Faubourg to celebrate an anniversary. They've done a beautiful job with the decor, and the meal and service was fantastic. However, I cannot say the same for the music selection. The choice to play heavy rock at a volume level that made it hard to hear a conversation was incongruous with my expectation of an elegant night out. It was the regretful focus of our evening.“

“Needed quick breakfast while at a nearby hotel and found this place based on high reviews. No way could it be real with a perfect 5.0 score, but it was! $7 for a massive breakfast sandwich on a fresh croissant—what else can you ask for? Oh, cash or Venmo only!“

“I recently visited this bar and was genuinely impressed by the experience. The service was attentive and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The food was impeccable—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and far above typical bar fare. A special mention goes to Linda behind the bar, whose warm, gracious demeanor made the evening even more enjoyable. This is the kind of place you look forward to returning to!“

“We had a really wonderful experience dining here with our family. Even though our group ended up being larger than expected, the manager, Kayla, was accommodating and made sure we were all seated together. Our waitress, Mo, was also great as she was attentive, and patient with our large party. We came for brunch this time and I'll definitely come back again for the the dinner experience.“

“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“I’ve been enjoying this great local restaurant literally since the day they opened. Great pizza, pasta and entrees. Definitely one of our favorite places to eat and to get take-out from. Great service and just a well run family restaurant.“

“We stayed at the hotel for one night since we had a dinner party across the street on Saturday. It was just a nice, calm place to have breakfast since there wasn't much open right there on Sunday morning. The staff was very friendly. I had scrambled eggs with applewood smoked bacon, potatoes and toast, and my husband had the breakfast burrito, which came with fresh fruit.“

“ALWAYS a vibe whenever i pull up!“

“Love it Definitely need to go. Fun spot.“

“Delicious meal. Service spot on. We’ll be back.“

“If you’re looking for old school Italian, this is a great spot. They made it easy to schedule a work dinner for 9 people, and the service was quick and accurate. The Caesar salad was extremely tasty, as was my pasta dish, albeit a tad salty. The front bar area is also cozy and casual, so it’s a great place for an after work cocktail.

Parking: Close to a train station“

“Our server, Antonio, was fantastic. I can't say enough about his service skills and humor. If we ever get back to the NYC area, we'll be back to Metropolis. We were a party of 12, it felt like it was just my wife and I, that's how personable Antonio was/is.“

“Took my husband here for his 64th birthday dinner on a recommendation and was not disappointed! This gem checked all the boxes in my book! We will definitely be coming back!! Thanks to the great bartender and the owners who went out of there way to make sure everything a that Carlos had an amazing experience!“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service.. I’m coming back and bringing friends and family! I definitely recommend it!“

“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!“

“We had a reservation for Valentine's Day. We were seated, given our menus and then we waited 45 minutes and were not even served water. We left, and no one even noticed. We went and grabbed fast food instead. We have dined here previously but many years ago and enjoyed the food. Other people's food looked good. Maybe they were short staffed.“

“Our dinner was delicious from start to finish! We shared the pulpo and funghi/fontina pizza. The pulpo was ok but the batatas bravas and sauce it came with was very good! My favorite part of the mean was the house salad—so many textures and flavors that went well together. This was paired with the calamari app—perfect for a filling meal. The hangar steak was ordered and enjoyed very much!!! The service was excellent with an attentive waitstaff that made the meal even better“

“The food is fantastic, the portions are very generous and the service is great!“
