“If you’re going to Pino’s Bar and you’re lucky enough to have Wayne behind the bar, you’re in for a five-star experience. As the senior bartender, Wayne sets the tone not just for drink quality, but for the entire customer experience. His level of professionalism and consistency is something every service industry venue should strive for.

First off, the drinks were absolutely on point—balanced, well-presented, and served quickly even during the busy rush. Wayne clearly understands flavor profiles and customer preferences. He asked just the right questions and made tailored recommendations that hit every mark. His execution shows someone who takes pride in his craft, not just someone pouring drinks.

But what really stood out was the customer service. Wayne doesn’t just serve you; he engages you. His ability to read the room and interact appropriately with each customer is rare. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, he makes you feel welcome, remembered, and respected. That’s a major KPI in hospitality: guest connection and retention, and Wayne nails it.

He also keeps the bar area spotless and organized, all while multitasking with ease—another performance KPI that too often gets overlooked. From managing tabs and keeping drinks flowing to training new staff with patience and clarity, Wayne brings leadership and efficiency without sacrificing hospitality. His time-to-service rate was excellent, even during peak hours, and you could see younger bartenders following his lead. That’s real operational influence.

In short, Wayne doesn’t just represent Pino’s—he elevates it. If you’re evaluating what makes a bar memorable and high-functioning, Wayne is a walking case study. Pino’s is lucky to have him, and so are the customers.“

“It was my 1st time trying this spot out! I celebrated my birthday and anniversary! My server name was “MO” I believe it was short for Monique! She was pleasant, tentative, respectful, friendly, polite and patient! My wife and I definitely appreciated the service she provided us! My only issue was the fact that open table has an option for you to put what your occasion is and the restaurant didn't honor it. However after speaking to the manager he did accommodate us in someway for the inconvenience. ! I would definitely come back here as it was a great experience overall!!! Great ambience! And the food was truly amazing! 🔥🔥🔥10/10 for us!“

“Very good food very good vibe’s one of the best places en Perth amboy“

“I hosted my book signing event on 7/26/25 in the lounge and I was thoroughly pleased by the way Melissa (Supervisor) took care of me and my guests. Risheda had been taking great care of me during the planning stage. I am thankful for Mark's flexibility when setting up the space to my liking. I would definitely have another event there. Thank you for making my experience seamless.“

“I went here for a fundraiser they had about 7 different hors d'oeuvres all were good the waiters kept them coming .I ordered the duck lollipops , cheeseburger , watermelon salad , spicy cauliflower and the wings all were very good .

“Thank you for providing a beautiful space for my mom's 55th birthday party. I really loved your hands on approach and I will be recommending this place to my sorority sisters, frat brothers and other networking partners.“

“I've been hanging in the lounge since before they remodeled the place. It was always a family-oriented spot the guards and the officers that secure and protect the environment for Public Safety They does an excellent job the DJs play excellent music ???and sometimes some of the bartenders they bring food so that their customers can have a little the nibble on overall it's a family-oriented atmosphere and I love ?it is in the city of Orange. New Jersey If you never been you must get there, and also they do they karaoke ??nite . I believe every other Wednesday.“

“super small place oy about 6 tables plus a few bar seats. food is super expensive but we had Erin as our server and she was absolutely wonderful. can't say enough nice things about her. super friendly and very attentive to our needs. she made it a wonderful experience. food was not great, a little bit greasy and very overpriced. there's literally about 4 choices on the entire menu. Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.“

“Good Food, great prices, nice atmosphere. and the waitresses all friendly and spoke Polish and English. 👏. Will definitely go back.“

“An amazing organization always the first there to assist their community, with friendly welcoming members who greet you with open arms and a smile.Although there are some much needed renovations, the building still offers quite a unique old style architecture with those hand crafted details and workmanship rarely seen in today's quick fix, built in a month sterile market. With several full service bars and multiple rooms of varying sizes , including a huge great room, this facility can host any type of event with ease. -Dl“

“"No seed oils, grass-fed beef, grass-fed dairy, pastured raised eggs, scratch kitchen," says the Skylark Diner website. Based on the first-rate meals we enjoyed the other night, I think this is honest. I've gotten so used to just-okay cuisine served at the plethora of just-okay restaurants, I can vouch for that scratch kitchen claim, as Skylark reminded me of just how good food can taste. We shall return.

Skylark's on-line reservation form offered nothing before 6:30 in the evening. But when we arrived, many tables were open, so I don't see why we could not have made it 6:00, which is what I'd would've preferred. Next time, I'll just call.

A tip of the hat for Skylark's policy of discounting the bill by 3% if you pay in cash. Why don't all retail establishments offer this? It ought to be the law. Restaurants and stores that charge the same for payment in cash or credit card make more money if you pay with the former, as they don't have to fork over a cut to the banks issuing the latter.“
