“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“NY Fries was incredibly delicious, loved the Poutine with Pulled Pork BBQ and Cheese Curds. Went to Canada a year ago Jul. where I ate some different types of Poutine. NY Fries does it great. I hope more locations pop up in NJ. I'll be coming back to try more things.“

“We had our wedding reception here on July 19th, 2025, and we absolutely loved working with them! It was the perfect place for us and they seriously exceeded our expectations. We met with Mike, and he helped us create the perfect party. Setting times to meet with him felt seamless and we felt well prepared after every meeting. He was always very real when he met with us—no extra gimmicks or tricks which honestly sold us even more. On top of that, their general staff, food quality, and overall assistance, were exceptional. They gave so much during the food tasting, so definitely come hungry. The meals weren’t even a main priority for us, but I need one of our friends to have a wedding there so I could have their food again. During my touchups, we were given the cutest room upstairs, where they also gave us our own plate before being able to talk to our guests during cocktail hour. We were told by a relative that we’d be well taken care of here, and that perfectly explains our experience with them. Throughout the entire night, we were simply able to just enjoy, thanks to the staff. They were incredibly kind, patient, and proficient, especially the maitre d. They’d additionally accommodate well to all of our guests, and even vendors. Our friends and family still rave about this venue. Please highly consider Old Bermuda Inn for your next event. We already can’t wait to work with them again in the future, and we thank them for going above and beyond for us!

They took care of the sweetheart table (and its decorations), table numbers, table menus, and we ordered our cake through them. As you can see, we had the best time!“

“The atmosphere was very relaxing. Felt like a nice place to eat that wasn’t too crowded or overstuffed. The food was well prepared and left me feeling full and satisfied. I like that they update the menu to different seasons so I’ll return to see what new dishes they’ll serve next.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“Sat at the bar and CT was serving. She provided awesome service !“

“Awesome. Been here three times. Everything I have had has been amazing!“

“Went there last week to see what this place was about. OMGGGGGG I can't say enough good things about it. I had the matzo ball soup and 1/2 pastrami sandwich with a side of coleslaw. Everything was absolutely delicious. The soup tasted like my grandmother made it. I cantcwait to go back and try other things, especially the breakfast options. The waitstaff was so attentive.“

“The food was pretty good. Im satisfied. (EDIT THAT I FORGOT TO LEAVE). RIGHT AFTER I LEFT THIS REVIEW FROM INSIDE THE IHOP, I COME OUT TO MY CAR BOOTED. THIS ESTABLISHMENT DOES NOT DESERVE MY OWN OR ANYONE’S MONEY AS THE OWNER OF THE LOT CAN CARE LESS TO BOOT A PAYING CUSTOMER’S VEHICLE. ASKED THE PARKING ENFORCER TO CONTACT WHOEVER OWNS THE LOT AND HE WAS RELUCTANT GIVE UP THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. 200 DOLLARS JUST TO GET THE BOOT OFF MY TIRE, FOR IHOP THIS IS RIDICULOUS.“

“My hubby and I came here for lunch. Once we sat down, we were immediately greeted by our server Austin. I cannot tell you how amazing he was. From the second we sat down until the moment we left, he was outstanding. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the food and patient. He gave such great suggestions and I followed his suggestions. I got the quesadilla and my hubby got the rise and shine. Both were so so good! The quesadilla was DELICIOUS. I had it with a sauce on the side and it was amazing. We also spoke with the manager James who was so so nice and professional and just such a pleasure to speak with. Hands down recommend this restaurant and if you are a nice person, ask for Austin!“

“Great food! Great service! Bella was our waitress for a party and she was great and so friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“When we entered for lunch at 12:30, we were quickly greeted and seated to a location we wanted. The host ensured the sun was not too bright and closed the shades.
Our server Claudia was so friendly and sweet. She covered all the specials and was so quick to bring our drinks.
When she brought our food she provided extra sauces and double checked to ensure everything was to our liking.
It was a delight to have Claudia as our server, she was so friendly and fun to interact with.
Thanks for such a great experience Claudia!“

“Great establishment with a great atmosphere. The employees were welcoming and respectful and kind. Had one hiccup with someone there not sure who they were but it seems like they didn't want certain people speaking to the employees.
Visited there for Colombian independence.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.“

“Great Sunday Buffet. Tons of food choices plus a Bloody Mary, mimosa or screwdriver. At a great price?“

“I stayed for one month at 810 Broad Street in Newark while completing a medical school rotation, and overall I had a great experience.
When I first arrived, there were a few things that needed attention, but Maurice, the property manager, responded almost immediately and had everything taken care of within about 12 hours. His responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine commitment to making sure I had a good stay really stood out.
From that point on, the rest of my month was excellent. The apartment met my needs, and it was reassuring to know that management was so attentive and easy to work with. I really appreciate Maurice’s effort and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in Newark.“

“the food is great! I live this place. service is outstanding.“

“It was our first time dinning at Kona grill and we loved it. We were treated like valuable guests and our food was brought quick. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the flight margarita, it was amazing and perfect amount of alcohol. We loved it.“

“Listen!!!!!!! I’m one of the biggest critics when it comes to food, and I’m usually the first person to jump online and give a bad review when something isn’t right. HOWEVER… D&J Country Cooking is absolutely AMAZING. 💯 I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer dine-in, because I would’ve loved to enjoy my food hot at a table. Instead, I ended up eating it in my car. But let me tell you — it was still worth it. I ordered the fish, yams, and mac & cheese… and it was incredible. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted like real home cooking. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a very kind elderly woman who greeted me with eye contact, a warm attitude, and great recommendations. She was sweet, helpful, and really made me feel comfortable about trying the food. It was a true example of Southern hospitality. I’m giving this spot 9 stars. It would’ve been a full 10 if they had dine-in seating, because the food is so good it deserves to be enjoyed fresh at a table. Hopefully they consider adding a sit-down option in the future because it would really take the experience to another level. I’ll definitely be back. I’ve got to try the neckbones on Wednesday or Thursday next time. Great spot!!!!!“

“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Dinner was amazing! Wednesday night kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree. The new California chicken salad was delicious. Allison and Claudia were so wonderful. They checked in with us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect.“
