“Great food 😋 👌 awesome environment!!!“

“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great place had fun with friends. Good friendy staff an food looks really good. Even though I didn't actually order any myself this first visit. Also 2 for 1 shots all night definitely helped even more. They also have touch tunes jukebox. Recommend to all visit this establishment.“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“I wish they played more hip hop but it was great

I need to find out what DJ plays the good music and because that's the day I want to go I don't like standing around because I don't know what song or because it's not my vibe five songs back to back not being my vibe I want to leave now but then that one song is on and I want to stay so it's like play more of that. No one's dancing when it's music that's not liked. I have a playlist of all the music that's in right now and all the music that people love to have I can give it to every DJ that shows up“

“Awesome atmosphere with great food & drinks! Staff was very friendly!“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Totally enjoyed our first visit to this new gem. The decor is creative, the cocktails are delicious and the food is excellent. The staff is attentive and very friendly! Wishing them all the best and hoping this place is around for a long time!!“

“This place was such a great discovery! Beautiful interior and an excellent cocktail selection, both in taste and presentation. The Gin & Jam was fantastic, and the Coconut Espresso Martini is probably one of the best espresso martinis I’ve had.

We ordered the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection, and the oyster mushroom pasta, both dishes were outstanding. Finished with tiramisu, which was also very good.

Lastly, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive! Definitely a great spot - will be back!“

“Excellent Ramen. Great service. Great little spot. The kimchi they bring you is divine, spicey, and delicious. The Spicey Ramen I had was amazing, even down to delicious bean sprouts. The spring rolls were on point. By far the best shrimp tempora I've had. Simple, light, crisp and delicious. Oh and the house sake was fantastic. If you're in the area, check this place out. It will not disappoint!“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“Creative, fresh and delicious.“

“We had a beautiful ladies luncheon at the restaurant and the food, service & ambiance was above & beyond.... Truly a gem !!!!!!! Thank you“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“We were a party of 10 and we broke down the other party of eight under Armstead. We would've loved to have sex together, but we wanted to experience of ordering what we wanted to eat and not have to order three basic menus other than that the service was perfect. The food was good. The staff made you feel like you were sitting at home being catered to we look forward to coming again.“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“A very educational and fun visit to a neighborhood gem of a local crafter in the Ironbound section of Newark. The proprietor/distiller was very friendly and eager to teach about the distillation process and the history of whisk(e)y in the British Isles and the New World. I would highly recommend this tour especially for spirits education.“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“My Third time there in a few weeks. Great Atmosphere and ambiance. Bartender, Jacob.....superb. Greeted us coming in seated us, served us superb drinks. On Point. My New place to go ! Thank you“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“Great first time Dining at Captial Craft, experience was amazing, even thanked the chef for the wonderful food.“

“Amazing and welcoming vibes, as soon as you walk in you’re received with a smile and place to take a seat. The varieties of burgers are like no other place from around the area. Francine helped me
Pick out Keto options very knowledgeable, easy going and service is on point 🎯Thanks!!!

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“The silk city pop up event is the most adorable event with beautiful decorations and fun drinks in the cutest cups. You also get to see the barrels because they are in view so that's interesting as well. The drinks were out of this world. Totally recommend“

“My first time was really awesome food and service was terrific, our 2nd time to eat here last night 03-13-2026 oh geez it was awful. The place was packed of huge ppl long table loud conversations wherein these guests are in the same dining area wherein the regular guests like us that wants to relax enjoy our food and least pleasant just to hear normal conversations, but due to these 3 parties of long tables loud guests it made our 2nd time horrible we couldn’t even hear the waitress when she was taking notes for our orders, we were sitting there waiting for our entree’s to be serve took a long time until i asked the girl why is our good taking longtime to be served? We been sitting for 90 minutes when entrees was served idk what was going on last night we came in at 6.30pm waited 20mins for a waitress come over we left the place like 10pm when entrees was served we don’t have the appetite anymore i don’t think we will be going back service wasn’t all that to please guests like us and many more to come back and be regulars“

“Good and quick service. Best empanadas we ever had. Based on those, the philly cheese steaks were a let down. More bread than filling, hardly any cheese. Tap beer was flat as a Guinness, and wasn't supposed to be. Holiday mule was good.“

“I recently visited this bar and was genuinely impressed by the experience. The service was attentive and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The food was impeccable—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and far above typical bar fare. A special mention goes to Linda behind the bar, whose warm, gracious demeanor made the evening even more enjoyable. This is the kind of place you look forward to returning to!“

“I like this spot , I come by first time in 2014 a d I still coming when I get New Jersey, I really like the food“

“It’s great to see this restaurant open again! The food is outstanding, every dish is flavorful and perfectly done. The event menu is creative, delicious, and truly stands out, offering something fresh and different. The service is excellent, super attentive and professional from start to finish. Everything felt well organized and welcoming. Definitely a place worth visiting and recommending.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“Great restaurant good food and friendly staff.“

“good food 😋 good service *****“

“Just had the best experience with ladyfingers! I had a birthday party for my daughter and they provided a two tier cake and a coffee bar. Lauren was very responsive from start to finish. I was able to pick the flavors and filings for each tier off their long list of options. I didn’t have much time to look for a cake design so just sent over a photo of a cake that I quickly googled. They were able to create it, and even better, they added a customized cake topper with my daughter’s name. They also delivered it to the venue which was very important to me since I didn’t want to deal with picking up a big cake from a bakery and making sure it didn’t get ruined during an already busy day. At the party they provided us with a “coffee bar” serving up a variety of flavored hot and iced coffee & chai. The guests loved this! Many drove from far so a coffee option was exactly what the needed upon arrival. The onsite team was great, arrived early to setup, and went above and beyond by lending me a cake stand and having ice delivered for us when we were unable to get any because it happened to be sold out everywhere near by. Overall great experience and would highly recommend them!“

“I honestly loved Keepers. The vibe is incredible… it feels cozy and cool at the same time and the space is perfect whether you go for breakfast brunch or dinner. The dining room is beautiful too the décor is so well done and the whole place just feels really inviting.

The service was amazing and the food was honestly so good. And I have to say this… the best sangria I’ve ever had was here. I asked for a sweet sangria and they made it exactly how I like it and OMG it was delicious.

Such a great spot… I can’t wait to go back.“

“Went there 2 weeks ago with a couple of friends. Food was delicious. The staff were very nice. They had a verity of mixed drinks and beer. I highly recommend trying this place out.“

“Visited with friends for Dinner and Drinks, and we all had a great time. Cocktail options were limited but they were strong. Most of the Food item was good, but the Chicken was a little bit dry.

Service was a bit relaxed despite the place being not that crowded but the Staff were friendly and polite. Overall, pretty good option for Dinner and Drinks.“

“Amazing drinks amazing bartenders!!!“

“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“Esta buena la comida brasileña“

“Muy Recomendable excelente servicio,muy lindas las niñas que nos atendieron,Rumba increíble“

“Sunday funday football brunch is the place to be. Fabulous food. Great selection of draft beer! The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend the Deviled eggs and Pimento bread dip.“

“Fantastic food, good service. I highly recommend this place.“

“I have been going to Marlos for years, and I love how they have remodeled the place. And the food is the best.“

“Haven’t been here in over 5years, was in the area so I brought a friend. Nothing has changed (hasn’t been updated) however the food still didn’t miss a beat, still so tasty and delicious. They offer some great happy hours throughout the week , the one we stubbled upon was 50% off the whole food menu all day !!! Great. 😊 the service at first was good but they seemed to be changing shifts and the next bartender was not as helpful. Overall dolce, is still standing strong, I want to come try the rest of the menu.“

“The food is good, service is usually poor, and it usually takes a long time to get your food. My family put me on this spot and I want to give higher ratings but I need the waiter not to be in street clothes making it hard to figure out who is taking orders, answer the phone, stop letting people crowd the register where you take orders, a take orders over the phone especially if ppl willing to pay with debit.“

“Súper ricoooo todoooo 20/10!!“
