“We tried No. 12 as a new restaurant for a date night. We enjoyed the mystery of how to enter and were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. Our appetizers and meal selections were delicious as we tried the ceviche, empanadas, quinoa salad, and octopus. I was happy that they were able to accommodate me as I am dairy and gluten free. We will definitely be back.“

“Really enjoyed our dinner there, it was a client dinner with 11 people, we had a choice of soup or salad as well as main course, appys and sides were served family style so we got to try a lot of dishes. Everything was excellent especially the lobster pops, seafood tower as fresh as can be. My wifes filet and lobster tail perfect. I had a strip which is not my favorite cut, nor is a filet but it was delicious. Sides great, especially the truffle mac n cheese. Deserts were great as was service. Will definitely come back“

“THE BEST“

“A lunch outing with my brother and sister-in-law turned into a nice dining experience. We chose Greek over Italian and ended up in the Aegean Estiatorio in Park Ridge.
The personal and professional experience was divine and the food was fresh and deliciously prepared. We share the spanakopita and enjoyed the delicate texture. Roasted beets and feta cheese salad was a winner. Our entrees for lunch was a delicious chicken souvlaki with a very fresh house salad. The generous portion moussaka was blended well and deliciously prepared. Do not pass up the the creamy custard Ekmek Kataifi dessert topped off with a cappuccino. Looking forward to return for a seafood dinner.
Worth the trip to sit back and experience fine food.“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

“My brothers and I hosted our dad’s 60th birthday in one of the private rooms upstairs. Maria took care of us and service was incredible all night! We chose the 3 course sit down menu and family style appetizers which were all incredible. I highly recommend coming here for a private event and will be back soon to try the rest of the menu!“

“We went to Capital Grille for the first time and had an amazing meal. Our server J was on top of everything and did a wonderful job and took very good care of us as well as many other tables. We tried an array of foods and there was not 1 item that wasnt absolutely delicious. Everything was cooled perfectly. If you have ever questioned if you should try this place here is your sign to stop questioning and go enjoy one of best meals you will ever have! Thank you Capital Grille and staff for such a wonderful date night.“

“The workers/owners are so nice and the food is INCREDIBLE for the price. Seafood boil in this day and age is so expensive and here I can get 1/b crab legs, a potato, an egg, and cajun fries for close to $25. The hibachi menu is also DELICIOUS. I have ordered for pickup here with my mother twice and both times service was fast and the food was delicious.“

“If you haven't been to Q Grill in Fort Lee yet, you are seriously missing out. We had an great meal, but a few dishes absolutely stole the show.
The experience started off strong because the banchan was incredibly plentiful, giving us so many great sides to taste. A huge standout was the kimchi, it tasted so fresh yet beautifully and well-fermented, hitting that perfect balance of crunch and tang. For the main event, we opted for the Trinity Wagyu combination, and it was spectacular. The beef was incredibly velvety, rich, and luxurious. To call it tender is an understatement—every single bite practically melted in my mouth, packed with that premium, juicy flavor you only get from high-quality Wagyu cuts.
The JapChae was executed perfectly with that ideal, bouncy chew and a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet sesame soy sauce. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese, which were the ultimate comfort food—perfectly chewy with just the right amount of kick, smothered in melted, gooey cheese.
Between the generous sides, the cheese-pulled rice cakes, and the top-tier meats from the Trinity combo, Q Grill is officially a favorite. Can't wait to come back!“

“Excelente atención y rica comida“

“I am absolutely delighted with the experience.
We visited for a family gathering and were shown to a private room; the service was attentive, and they kept refilling the delicious side dishes.
The sashimi was fresh, as was all the seafood. There was a wide variety of tasty accompanying dishes, and the staff were all friendly.
The aged kimchi was particularly outstanding—the assorted sashimi paired with it was truly delicious.
The portions were so generous that they even packed up the spicy fish stew for us to take home.
It was a truly enjoyable and delicious meal.
Thank you.“

“First time entering this location actually, the waitress Lakaiya I believe that was her name was very nice and helpful, food and service was great, and of course, my favorite appetizers are the "Cheddar Bay Biscuits" now, as for the ambience and overall environment of the restaurant, it has a low key vibe and very inviting, has a warm feel to it, the waiters and waitresses try their best to provide their services for their customers, as well as the chefs that cook and prepare their food, I do recommend this location though, I also like the music selection on the radio's overhead, nicely done...“

“CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!! MY WIFE AND I CELEBRATED MY 30TH BIRTHDAY HERE AND WE VERY MUCH ENJOYED!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND“

“Very nice atomosphere. Everybody friendly Food was quick and drinks where amazing“

“Professional service and delicious food in NY Best steak House 🥩🥩😁“

“Matthew 's Restaurant is 1 of the best restaurants in North NJ if NOT The Best. The food is always Delicious & Service is excellent. Beyond that, the atmosphere or aviance is excellent. The vibe & energy is first rate positive fun & culinary enjoyment. I believe that this fine dining experience is also driven by the owner Matthew who is usually in the restaurant greeting guests & helping out. When you visit Matthew's you'll have a great time and it'll feel like you're on mini-vacation from the stress of every day life while seemingly enjoying the warmth of family. It may be a cliche but it's definitely true. 10 stars ⭐ out of 10.“

“This restaurant was new to this area, and it did not miss. We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the staff. We booked a reservation last minute and they were able to accommodate us on a pretty busy night. We hung out at the bar until our table was ready, and it was in a semi-private room, which I liked. We will be returning.“

“The best restaurant ever delicious food,sweet service“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“The staff was friendly, Filet mignon was the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“It was soooo good definitely go back again“

“Atención excelente y muy buena sazón en la comida en especial los anticuchos de corazón, el arroz con mariscos exquisito , felicitaciones“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“My absolute favorite place!“

“We have been coming here for years, and Jimmy and Andy always treat us like family! We drive from Orange County and are never disappointed. The sushi is amazing, among my favorites are the Mango Tango roll, Tiger roll, Tri Color roll and Tuna Amazing! The appetizers are small enough portions to try everything without waste!! It’s All You Can Eat, so easy to order more of what you like! But perfect sized appetizers so you don’t fill up before the sushi arrives! The sushi is always fresh and plentiful and the staff’s attention to details is unmatched. When the owners truly care about their customers, it shows and is appreciated! I have sent at least 20 friends to their restaurant who are now loyal customers on their own!! Thank you AJ’s for going above and beyond!“

“We would like to clarify that we purchase and buy fresh truffles from the most respected and high-end truffle suppliers in New York City, known for sourcing some of the finest imported Italian truffles available.
If anyone would like to see certification or documentation regarding the origin and quality of our truffles, we are more than happy to provide it.
We take great pride in the quality and authenticity of every ingredient we serve.While we understand that the price of this dish may seem high, we would like to clarify that our mushroom ravioli is topped with fresh, hand-harvested truffles imported directly from Italy. These are among the rarest and most sought-after ingredients in the world, often costing between $1,000 and $3,000 per pound due to their short season and the difficulty of finding them in the wild. We take pride in sourcing these authentic delicacies to provide a true gourmet experience that you won't find at a standard grocery store. We hope you enjoyed the unique, earthy flavor they bring to the dish.“

“Finally found a fish spot in Jersey that doesn't use frozen fish from a bag that you can get in ShopRite.

Very humble team that provides great customer service.

The seafood is fried to perfection - but it could use some salt. If they start making their own tartar sauce and hot sauce, this place is gonna be packed!

Still worth a visit, although I would just stick to the seafood until they start tightening up the sides with more experience cooking soul food staples.

Definitely worth a visit.“

“rikisimo autentico sabor por fin encontre el mejor restaurant en mariscos de el area“

“I’ve been going to Santucci’s in River Edge for over 30 years, and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Their chicken parm is hands down the best around — always perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It’s a true neighborhood gem with that warm, familiar atmosphere that’s getting harder to find these days. Whether it’s pizza, pasta, or a full family dinner, I’ve never had a bad experience. Santucci’s has been part of my life for decades and I hope it stays in the community for many more. Highly recommended!“

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“From the moment we sat down at Sear, I knew we were in for an incredible night, but the execution absolutely blew me away. We started off with the clams, which were perfectly prepared and fresh, setting a high bar for the rest of the meal. When the porterhouse steak arrived, it was a total home run. It was cooked exactly to my liking, incredibly flavorful, and beautifully tender. What really made the evening unforgettable, though, was our waiter, Manny. He was the definition of a true professional. He was so accommodating and always right there the second we needed a refill or a hand, yet he had this perfect intuition and was never intrusive, giving us the space to just relax and enjoy ourselves. Between the stellar food and Manny's top-notch hospitality, it was one of the best dining experiences in the area.“

“Huge portions of great food! Salads w/spectacular dressing lead to enormous, expertly-prepared steak, chicken and seafood entrees!“

“Drove an hour and a half to take my Mom to lunch, and we loved the food here! The service was outstanding too! Highly recommend this place!“
