Fine Dining Restaurants near Totowa, NJ

“We have been remiss and not reviewing Robert scratch Kitchen sooner. This was our fourth visit and we've had four outstanding meals. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Robert personally attends to his guests to ensure everything is going well. The cod with mango chutney was outstanding and the shrimp special over trophy pasta was delicious.“

“As always it was a great dining experience at Capital! The manager David always accommodates above and beyond as does the entire staff from the moment you walk in the door. The assistant manager is super attentive and friendly. Food is delicious and our server Dominick was wonderful. Sheryl“

“It is always such a great experience, the service is excellent and the food is amazing. My mother, husband and sister all ordered the short ribs special and they all agreed it was over the top delicious. My other sister had the Halibut and she was very satisfied with her dish and I had the duck which is always amazing.“

“I had my daughters 1st birthday party there last Saturday and it was fantastic. The wood was prepared fresh and delicious. They also let me decorate beautifully. Would definitely recommended Stefanos to anyone. I will certainly have my next party there.“

“The grilled calamari was superb, as was the sautéed Dover sole with Italian tomatoes. My wife had the burata with the absolute best prosciutto. Her surf turf dish was amazing. My brother's trippa appetizer was fantastic and the cod messinese was tops. Each dessert was perfect too. The owner pays attention to his guests and his great staff follows his lead. Finally, the cocktails we're prepared expertly.“

“Quaint and romantic atmosphere depending on where you are seated. We were originally seated in a very tight space near the bar adjacent to a large family, but the hostess was accommodating and sat us in a different area.The restaurant has a nice charm but don't expect modern finishes. Overall, we enjoyed the ambiance.Our server was very friendly and knowledgable. The rosemary butter was also a nice surprise. It really deserves a different bread, not sandwich-like dinner rolls that are served.You should expect a more home-cooked style meal. While I appreciated the effort and presentation of the dishes, the flavor lacked in certain dishes. The dishes weren't anything spectacular, hence, expect a home-cooked style meal but I did appreciate how classic and light they were (not overly greasy and dense). We ordered the crab/shrimp bisque that desperately needed salt/pepper. The taste of the broth tasted a bit too watered down for me despite the thick consistency. Caesar salad was a caesar salad. We also ordered the beef sliders, which tasted pretty average, again, nothing spectacular but still good. I ordered the rack of lamb as my main dish. It was cooked to temperature and very well. The sauce also complimented the lamb nicely. The mashed potatoes cried for salt and butter. My partner ordered the homemade parpadelle pasta, and it was good. The pasta was overcooked, but it's homemade pasta so that's fine. The sauce was very delicious in this dish and well seasoned.We didn't order dessert, but I had a feeling it would have made up for some of the off-seasoned food.The french martini I ordered when I arrived also wasn't prepared as a true french martini. There wasn't any foam, and it was served with a cherry, which they aren't typically served with and off in color, either due to the cherry or too much chambord. Still drank it though.Overall, we had a nice night and we may come back and give it another shot“
