It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place.

“87 Sussex is more than just a restaurant; it’s a full-on culinary dimension. From the moment you walk through the door, you are transported into a beautifully designed space that sets the stage for an unforgettable experience.

As someone who has worked front-of-house for years, I was blown away by the service. Amanda greeted us with such warmth and was incredibly attentive to our reservation notes. My best friend and I were celebrating a belated birthday, and the specially printed 'Happy Birthday' menus were such a thoughtful, high-end touch.

The mixology here is world-class. The Inferno Jam cocktail was a masterpiece—a smoky, sweet, and tart multi-sensory experience that I’ve never seen executed better. That level of detail carried over into every dish. The Ox & Egg and the Escargot Wontons were incredible, featuring textures and flavors that literally evolve as you eat them. For the entree, our server suggested the Osso Buco, which featured some of the best Al Dente pasta I’ve ever had and perfectly tender meat. We finished with the Chocolate Turtle Cake, which was a roller coaster of moist cake, crunchy toasted walnuts, and sweet toffee.

A massive thank you to our server, Hazem. He was the rockstar of the evening—clearly very experienced, friendly, and never left us hanging. He made us feel so welcome for our first visit. If you have a special occasion coming up, do yourself a favor and dine here. It is truly in a league of its own.“

“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10“

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“I walked into this small cafe without even thinking they had such a great variety of food… I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! The pizza is fantastic, thin airy crispy crust … so delicious!!!

I ordered the drunken parm sandwich and it was made fresh, the breaded chicken was made right then not cold and frozen like other places.. they put the perfect amount of cheese and sauce .. it was crispy and not messy. The hero bread was delicious too! I cannot rave enough about this place!

It’s also very clean!“

“We live a few towns away and unfortunately we didn’t find this place sooner. Food was amazing not what we expected. We thought it was just a bar but it’s a restaurant. It has a unique feel and the service top notch. Keep up the good work.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“Amazing food! Come visit and support one do the best places in town!“

“Went at two different times.
First visit was amazing. We ordered the calamari to share and came out flavorful and crispy! I had the whisky glaze salmon and it was very tender and the glaze had the right amount of sweetness. The mashed was flavorful. The asparagus was ok.. a bit dry and tough but I ate it anyway haha. For the drink, I had the Dragonfruit margarita and it was very good as well. Right amount of booziness but not overwhelmingly so. The drink was also pretty. The service was also very fast and our server was very attentive and kind.

The second visit, we came on a Saturday and it was VERY busy. We waited an hour for a table and some of our apps were forgotten but the service was still pretty decent and they ended up comping some of our apps without being asked to. I still enjoyed my food. The music was amazing as well.. they played lots of Caribbean hits 😂🩷“

“had the chicken parm with vodka sauce was delicious his wraps are delicious great service highly recommend it“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“We were in from out of town, staying in New Jersey as our home base for day trips into NYC. On our first night we drove to Hamilton Park to take in views of the skyline, and then were looking for a place to eat with our two nieces. We found Fork Hill Kitchen and are so glad we did. We did not have reservations, but arriving around 5:30, they were able to accommodate our party of 4 and seat us right away. The food, drinks, ambiance, and service were all top notch. The gentleman that showed us to our seat was charming and when he found out we were in from out of town, he chatted with us for a bit, and made us feel so welcome. We each got a different dessert and everyone raved about theirs. Just a really lovely, cozy, welcoming place, with delicious food. Thanks for a great first night of our magical December NYC trip!“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“we enjoy going to “The Spot Mix Grill” Burgers are delicious 😋“

“Food was really good. The Amish Chicken and Jerk Short ribs were delicious. Server was great. Kitchen seemed to get a bit backed up a peak time. That gave us an opportunity to taste their pull apart bread (whoa), which they brought out due to the wait.

We'll be going back.“

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

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“I just celebrated a birthday and the food was delicious and bon appetit. We were delighted with sautéed spinach, salmon; Pork chop dinner and black spaghetti dinner. The waiter was superb along with his sense of humor.“

“The trendy upscale ambiance beckons potential diners from the hotel lobby to experience the culinary delights waiting within the restaurant. I dined at the Grille twice, and was pleasantly surprised both times. I highly recommend the salmon meal, which is beautifully plated and incredibly decadent! It was accompanied by grilled lime! My chicken meal was garnished with fresh herbs. I was thrilled to be able to have a large selection of fresh vegetables to go with my main course. The food and beverage manager A’Quanda H. managed the entire front end of the restaurant masterfully! She bartended and waited tables in a timely manner demonstrating constant courtesy and professionalism. I give the restaurant TWO THUMBS UP!“
