“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“I wish they played more hip hop but it was great

I need to find out what DJ plays the good music and because that's the day I want to go I don't like standing around because I don't know what song or because it's not my vibe five songs back to back not being my vibe I want to leave now but then that one song is on and I want to stay so it's like play more of that. No one's dancing when it's music that's not liked. I have a playlist of all the music that's in right now and all the music that people love to have I can give it to every DJ that shows up“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“"We planned a girls' dinner at ‘OSfizio and to say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The atmosphere and staff were welcoming and inviting, and the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Gennaro was beyond attentive to our needs, recommending spectacular dishes and ensuring our plates and cocktails were full. We didn't feel rushed out at any point. We felt welcomed life family. If you're looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and a fabulous staff, OSfizio is the place to visit. You won't be disappointed~ We can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was such a great discovery! Beautiful interior and an excellent cocktail selection, both in taste and presentation. The Gin & Jam was fantastic, and the Coconut Espresso Martini is probably one of the best espresso martinis I’ve had.

We ordered the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection, and the oyster mushroom pasta, both dishes were outstanding. Finished with tiramisu, which was also very good.

Lastly, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive! Definitely a great spot - will be back!“

“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!“

“I enjoy Bareburger monthly, I'd go more if I could! The food is great for the price, especially the apps, portions are fair! Special thanks to Andrea, for consistent and friendly service, we look forward to seeing her every time. Another great employee is Chris, who answers the phones eager and happy to welcome us in. I await the spring vibes, in hope to see more people enjoying Bareburger locally in Westfield.“

“Very good place to enjoy. It’s a small distillery, but their unique liquors make themselves survive and be successful in New Jersey. I hope this distillery to be thrived more in the future.
By the way, thank you so much for taking care of my condition while I got drunken at the bar… I enjoyed too much 😅“

“Food was very good. Had Fajita Duo and Cheese Nachos. Prices were decent. Menu was limited. Problem was the flour pancakes were very small (Maybe 6" round (4) for the dinner we had. Six Tortillas would of been fine for that dinner. We asked for more and they gave us 3. Noticing the bill I WAS CHARGED for the 3 extra ($2.50)? That's Not Good Business. I have never been charged for a few extra tortillas. I will not go back or recommend. Disappointed. It was freezing in there.“

“Visited with friends for Dinner and Drinks, and we all had a great time. Cocktail options were limited but they were strong. Most of the Food item was good, but the Chicken was a little bit dry.

Service was a bit relaxed despite the place being not that crowded but the Staff were friendly and polite. Overall, pretty good option for Dinner and Drinks.“

“Dolce is a truly exceptional spot that easily earns a five-star review! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by an elegant and inviting atmosphere that feels both stylish and comfortable.

The food is outstanding—beautifully presented, fresh, and full of rich, balanced flavors. Every dish reflects careful preparation and attention to detail, making the dining experience genuinely memorable. The dessert selection, as you might expect from the name, is especially impressive and a perfect way to finish the meal.

The drinks are equally refined, with a great selection of cocktails that are both creative and perfectly crafted.

Service is top-notch, with friendly, attentive staff who make sure every guest feels well taken care of from start to finish.

Whether you’re visiting for a casual night out or a special occasion, Dolce delivers a consistently high-quality experience. Highly recommended!“

I ordered pick up and the food was hot and fresh upon picking up. we ordered the garlic knot Sicilian, my kids loved it and it in general the pizza was good . we ordered the boneless wings also were good. the pork ribs amazing just wish they had dry rub options. spinach and artichoke dip, cheese needed to melt but flavor was good and large portion. potato croquettes were also delish and come with sauce . the staten island chicken panini and twisted were also delish! beef empanadas a lil soggy but more from transport but flavor was good . (maybe dff type of container or poke holes in future ) we also had a frozen sangria that I wished after we had ordered more.. will def order again!“

“Great food 😋 👌 awesome environment!!!“

“Recently had a great shopping experience at Eataly in the Short Hills Mall. I stopped in for some Too Good To Go bags and was really impressed with both the food quality and value. I also had a quick conversation with the Procurement Manager in the pasta dept, super nice and knowledgeable, about wheat and my gluten intolerance. He explained that all ingredients included in their prepared foods are sourced directly from Italy, completely authentic. When I returned home I tried small portions of their rigatoni and focaccia bread and had no reaction. It's amazing that I can now have real pasta and bread again! Kudos to that Team member!! The Too Good To Go bags were fantastic! Caprese salad, chicken noodle soup, pasta with roasted peppers, risotto with tomato sauce, plus a bakery bag with artisan sourdough bread and pastries, which my son loved! Great food and great people at the Eataly, highly recommend this location!“
