Restaurants in South Orange

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!”

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement”

“Had the pleasure of eating at Giorgio"s last night before a show at SPAC. Service was outstanding, menu explained and food was excellent. From our salad, entree and desert everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it but please not before a show I may now get a reservation again.”

“Very and happily impressed with this restaurant. Service, food and presentation were excellent. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve ordered a few times all great experiences. Today I ordered in store at the kiosk and picked up, got home and although i got two combos (lamb k jerk chicken) upon eating the first few bites I realized both were only jerk chicken. I called however their voicemail isn’t set up. I wish someone could call me back and offer some kind of assistance/ discount 😩

UPDATE: The customer service team reached out to me immediately after my original review, apologized for the mix-up, and offered to make things right by replacing our two combo platters.

I stopped by Saturday night and showed the staff the email. They immediately knew what I was referring to, apologized again for the previous experience, and took care of my order with no hassle or confusion. My food came out quickly, the customer service was great, and the food quality was great as usual!

I really appreciate how quickly they responded to my concerns and that the same level of care carried over when I returned to the restaurant. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. They addressed the issue immediately, made the resolution easy, and followed through on exactly what they promised. Definitely appreciated!”

“I've chosen The Reservoir to cater my work and home dinners for over 15 years. Not once have they've disappointed me!!! Delivery has ALWAYS BEEN ON TIME and the food hot and delicious!! Trust this is very important, because I've tried other caterers and there has ALWAYS been a problem.
Congratulations on your anniversay!!”

“I love coming inside this store. It’s big and bright, smells great and has an overall welcoming vibe. The staff is helpful, kind and they have the answers to relevant questions. I’m happy because I’d previously only ordered via doordash, now I’ve got rewards and new buddies.

I like to try different smoothies and add an acai base to it. Today, the Orange Power + Acai. Yummy.”

“Sonny’s Bagels in South Orange makes exceptional bagels and has the best smoked fish in NJ!!!”

“Atmosphere is chill. You got background music, 5 arcade machines, and a comfortable couch to sit on while you (rarely) wait for food. The patties themselves are exceptionally varied in type, and each have their own original flavor profile. It's worth eating each one, and its DEFINITELY worth buying, at least to me. 10/10”

“The food was awesome. I wanted to try the fat Amy but, didn't.”

“We love Ariyoshi and have been customers for over 15 years! The best sushi in the area. From their miso soup, nabe yake udon to many, many of their sushi rolls, we are fans and definitely recommend!”

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.”

“Large menu to suit everyone - even the non-Mexican food lovers. Service has always been very fast by staff and food arrives quickly also….even if they are very busy. It’s a “go to” place when I’m in South Orange.”

“We love everything about Miti Miti!”

“Ordered on line and picked up a lamb gyro and the dip sampler with extra pitas. Not cheap, but the food has always been high quality, and Medusa Greek is worth it!”

I had the chicken wrap with seasoned fries. It was very flavorful. It was made to order. I also had an amazing smoothie!.

I would go back over and over again!. Make sure to check out this beautiful café!.”

“Oh my goodness! These patties are so delicious! I bought one curry chicken and one beef. They were both so flaky. When I went, they had just come out of the oven. The curry chicken was my favorite, not because the beef wasn't good. It was delicious too. I just hadn't had a curry chicken patty before. I want to go back today, just looking at the pictures. The lady serving them was so lovely. She made the experience extra memorable. Highly, highly recommend. I will definitely be back soon, if not today. 😁”

“Went to sit at the bar after a long day of work, tired and alone. What started as a seemingly boring night turned into a spectacular experience filled with warmth and a surprise around every corner. Bartender Luke happily made me a custom mezcal cocktail that made my heart melt. He is definitely the TOP employee at this establishment, effortlessly charming, and cute!”

“Great feel to the new space! Very open and inviting. I had a tasty iced mocha coffee and a peach danish today. Delicious.”

“I had an amazing experience at this authentic Costa Rican restaurant! The service was excellent, and the main dishes were delicious, especially the famous "Gallo Pinto" (I'm addicted). I highly recommend trying their Tacos Ticos or their Casado. They also have great drink options, including traditional coffee and natural juices.”

“Nice and friendly workers there. Good food also”

“so today was my first day going to this lovely local bakery, and I tried the chocolate croissant. This chocolate croissant was so chocolatey and so delicious. every single bite had chocolate in it. It was more dense than like a traditional French chocolate croissant, but if you want a chocolate croissant That is super chocolatey. This is the place to go.”

“I’d been here previously just for bubble tea tonight I ordered a Poke Bowl, purple rice with scallops, spicy salmon, and shrimp, Cucumber, toppings were mango, avocado, sesame seeds, crispy onions nions, masago, and acallions.

The portion was really nice, enough to share a few bites and still have leftovers. I will definitely return, the amount of food for the cost was well worth it! The fish is fresh and a nice variety is offered. I’ll have to rotate through. I’ll also make adjustments to the toppings. I had a Taro milk tea. My partner ordered pork buns and we both remarked how much better they were than other places we really enjoy them from. We definitely plan to return Sorry to only post my food,”

“Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great! The price was very reasonable.”

“I have eaten nearly all types of fast food burgers. But these guys make them all look and taste horrible!!! Meat had flavor!!!! Real flavor!!!! The toppings on my burger were fresh, delicious and crunchy!!! The quality was on point and they are quick too!!! I’m a new regular customer for life now!!!!”

“What I ordered I did not get Didn’t bother to read special instructions they gave me stuff I do not eat Shrimp Lo Mein No Onions or Beansprouts is what I ordered sub carrots and peas this is the crap I got”

“Great neighborhood spot! Everyone who works here is kind/helpful and there’s a great laid back atmosphere with plenty of TVs. Plus the pizza and buffalo chicken fingers are really good!”

“I always stop in for slices”

“Just picked up a smoothie and the Las Brisas Wrap, both were excellent! Fresh moist roasted chicken, crunchy cucumbers, fresh greens, carrots and the most delicious dressing! The wrap was so big I could only eat half. I ordered on line and it was ready in about 10 mins. Friendly service was icing on the cake!”

“The jerk shrimp and scallop appetizer was absolutely amazing. I will most definitely be revisiting this place frequently.”
