“Went for dinner on Friday with my boys. Stephanie was amazing. her recommendations for entrees was perfect. The timing and meals were great. Was a nice evening.“

“Food was OK ( bacon cheeseburger and Atlantic char ) , My favorite was wedge salad but it's not on the menue anymore also loved grilled scallops and they are gone too. We got lobster tail for dessert and it was so bad , the cream was fine but pastry was old and hard to bite it's but nothing like Rispoli bakery lobster tails. Sangria always great and we love oysters. But overall not as good as it used to be .“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Creative food, friendly staff, always delicious.“

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“disfrutamos de un excelente servicio y Daniel el camareronos brindo atencion“

“Vanessa is such a pleasant bartender and always polite and attentive. Tonight I had the Bang Bang Shrimp which always is amazing and then had the Baja scallops with shrimp scampi grilled in a garlic sauce over linguine. Very flavourful.“

“Musubi for days! So good So fresh! Ill be back“

“Very nice - I’m coming back for sure“

“What a great experience at Capitale Grille. I went there for a business lunch and the experience from start to finish was great. Our server was nice and attentive and gave us space and present at the same time. The food was delicious too (special mention for the truffle chips…)I wish I got a picture of the lovely cheescake I got for desert but it was too good so I eat it without taking a picture. But super happy for my time there. I will be back and defo recommend.“

“5 stars! Great drinks and they offer a happy hour !! Food was very good , with big selection and very reasonably priced.“

“Seafood Birthday Bash!

Went to this restaurant for my uncles birthday. He doesn’t eat chicken or steak so seafood is his favorite. Caldwell Seafood Market & Cafe was an obvious choice because of the pictures and the fact it was a fresh seafood market just stood out to me. It did not disappoint either! We were a group of 10 people and ordered everything our heart desired and spent $579. We ordered 3 orders of fried calamari which was nice and crispy and they even had a ginger sauce which is different. We tried the hot and spicy shrimp which had a great sauce to dip the complementary bread in. We ordered 5 bowls of New England clam chowder. I felt it was watery and not as seasoned as I am used to but we enjoyed it anyway. They forgot a bowl of soup but we won’t hold it against them. We all ordered entrees and most of us got a dessert! We left full and satisfied!

Knowing my family we love to eat and we are all reviewers at heart and are not afraid to say what we do not like. Everyone loved their food from the appetizers to the dessert and we were surprised at how fast the food came and how fresh it was. The waiter was very attentive as well. We didn’t need a reservation when we came in at 3pm and were the only ones there. Surprising it was not packed for a Saturday afternoon but started to fill up as we left.

Overall this restaurant gets a 5/5 because the experience was great, the waiter was very nice and accommodating, the food was piping hot and everyone was pleased even the kids who aren’t really seafood fans.

P.S. Below are photos of some entrees we ordered like the Red Snapper with spinach and beans, Bronzino with mash and veggies, Fish and Chips, Linguine with white clam sauce.“

“I've been buying fresh fish, as well as cooked fish for some years now, & have been TOTALLY satisfied. Dan is ALWAYS beyond pleasant, & meets your special requests !! ❤“

“ALWAYS delicious - I try to stop here whenever I am in the Cranford area. I’ve been a fan of this Jersey Shore style seafood joint for a couple decades. Fresh, perfectly prepared dishes that always allow the seafood to shine. Fried or broiled flounder and any kind of shrimp are a personal favorite. I always judge a restaurant by it’s side salad and here it’s never an afterthought, fresh and so tasty - they should bottle their house dressing it’s off the chart.“

“Highly recommend supporting our local dinning. In fact, a party of seven was just booked after sharing a night of Fundraising at Giorgio's.“

“excellent service, they are very friendly and the food without a doubt, recommended.“

“I ordered from here looking for some jerk pork and festival and I could not be more satisfied! The pork was juicy, spicy, and grilled as all jerk pork should be. The festival were hot and freshly made. This was an 11/10 because it was all fresh and hot. Likklle Helshire Restaurant, 👏🏿👏🏿. Please, please add small and large portions of the jerk pork and jerk chicken to the Uber Eats menu so I can order just the meat and my festival. Thank you!“

“Don Pepe never disappoints! Their food is absolutely amazing, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and service you receive. I ordered a calamari to go, and the bartender (a super friendly guy) was fantastic. He was incredibly nice and even threw in a huge piece of bread—easily 10 inches long! Definitely enough for leftovers, which was a nice surprise. The little details like this make the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent service and the food is AMAZING! We live going there for the Oysters“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“Everything was ok. Not great this time around. They didn't have any steak sauce.... and I asked for my steak to be medium... there was no pink center. The lobster tail had this seasonings on it that tasted like Old Bay or that Spicy BBQ seasoning that they use on the spicy shrimp... I didn't like that at all. A steak restaurant not having steak sauce is diabolical... and why wouldn't you mention that?“

“Great sandwiches. Definitely recommend“

“My wife and I had the most delicious dinner last night. The service, the food and the ambiance was amazing. Highly recommend the restaurant.“

“You won't be disappointed! Quick service and good food. I like the way the guy uses his memory taking orders, gets it right 99% of the time, even with 3 or more people ordering!“

“Very good fufu and great chicken egusi. Owner was very helpful and explained everything. Atmosphere was nice, she was kind and the service/wait time was great. Overall, it was great food and a great experience. I will definitely be coming again!“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“I've been getting fresh fried fish here for years. The wide variety of combos is great. You can phone ahead and your food will be ready even when there's a crowd. Their price are unbeatable! The staff are always pleasant and welcoming.❤️??“

“(Translated by Google) I loved it. I was able to feel in my country for a couple of hours. Exceptional service. The place is super elegant. God bless its owners.(Original)Me encantó pude sentirme en mi país por un par de horas servicio excepcional el lugar está súper elegante Dios bendiga a sus propietarios“

“great food. easy and delicious. I will come back again.“

“Excellent - wonderful lunch menu with daily specials . Soups snd risottos are my favorites but the entrees are delicious and perfect amounts. The soufflés - from choc to mango - are to die for. Even the expressos are good.“

“Justo ahora vine, a comer empanadas, y la atención de la nena fue la Mejor, tan amable, 💕💕💕“

“Halcyon,I'd gladly come back! I loved the ambiance.“

“I’ve been eating at Mamas for years and I have never been disappointed. The food is always great and made fresh. 10/10 customer service.“

“Service was amazing! I was given a 15 minute wait time and my food was ready in exactly 15 minutes. I had the salmon sliders, wings with kkb sauce, yellow rice, broccoli and fried shrimp. For dessert, Caramel pecan cheesecake! My daughter and I enjoyed every bit of our meals! The restaurant is really cute with a bar type of vibe.“

“This is a hood Hidden Jen don’t let that looks fool you when pulling up to the corner but I’ve been coming here since 1983, some of the best fried fish around they have porgies whiting and they also do fried chicken Also, love the potato wedge fries, any day of the week it’s a good eat. I love this place and the way to Fish tales.“

“My husband and I love this place as it is our go-to when we are craving for good and fresh seafood. It is really one of the best around and I am not sure why this place is not more busy (except for the weekends) but that's ok because then we don't have too much of a hard time geting a table. The service is also always excellent. Their portions are also big---try the Seafood Fra Diavolo. This is definitely an awesome seafood restaurant!“

“After months of hearing Chengdu 23 advertised on 105.5 WDHA, my wife and I decided to try it this evening. we were not disappointed! From the minute we walked in the door, our experience was 100% positive. The service was fast, courteous, and intuitive. The food was sublime. This is not your run of the mill Chinese food restaurant. I rate it seven out of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I never claimed to be a math whiz!)“

“The review that I gave is based on the fact I that the two times that my husband & I was there the service was very slow, the food was just warm and we asked the server to please make sure the food is hot & during brunch the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. I might also add we don't understand the strict dress code on your website after seeing everything you mentioned unacceptable was accepted.“

“I ordered over the phone and immediately on the phone I knew I called the right place because the man on the phone was super nice and very patient.
When I went in for my pickup he was nice as soon as I came in and made sure I had everything I needed to depart. Loved it.“

“I go to the Roy's in Linden and the food is very good the oxtails, the stewed chicken, Mac and cheese, the yams are scrumptious, the potatoes salad is very tasty and i dont like potatoe salad, the fried chicken wings are deeelicious and to top it off the peach cobbler, sweet potatoes pie and the carrot cake is dangerous, just soOo gooood the place is small but always kept clean and the customers are coming in and out I went their one evening toward closing and they had nutin but oxtails left and that was a small amount which speaks volume but I really wanna mention and rate the service as this is what makes a good business and is just as important as good food I give Roy's an extra ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 stars for Ms Jay and Ms Shana the both of them are just lovely they both are professional with the customers and their communication is very tasteful they both are just pure aaaadorable I pray that you have nutin but increase ~ blessings endlessly ❤️“
