“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“Tracy was out waiter. She was fantastic. She gave us the history of the restaurant and made some great suggestions. I'm not a huge guac fan but the tuna tartare with that layer of guac on top was fantastic. The steak frites were excellent. My husband had the dry aged burger, it was juicy and tasty. It was our first time there but it certainly won't be our last.“

“Great place. Will be sorely missed. Unfortunately, could be beginning of mass exodus from our formerly great nation.“

“The Food was delicious, service was 5 star . I would really recommend this lovely place for a dinner date or a big party at there huge room rental hall“

“Great Food, Great Service Great Atmosphere. So we were bummed when we saw they closed the original location because how much we loved the place. We were relieved when they announced they were opening up in a much more appropriate and highly upgraded venue. This was perfect timing for us to celebrate our 9 year anniversary here. Upon arriving the inside captures the comfort and style of the Livingston location and then improves upon it with the beautiful outside seating area. Now onto the food which is just as good if not better than the original location im glad to see the quality has remained consistent. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wifes pasta dish was packed with quality flavor. The drink menu was definitely brought to the next level as well everything seemed like it was fine tuned and everything we tried was on point and had its own unique delicious flavor profile. Andy behind the bar was very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to talk to about the different cocktails. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great it wasn't youre traditional kind but we loved the spin they put on it with the cake and ice-cream. Lastly for service Jonathan took amazing care of us and made our special day very memorable along with the rest of the staff. Everyone that came by the table was professional and had a smile on their face. They all seemed happy and took pride in their work which was nice to see. We will definitely be returning in the future. I implore anyone that reads this to visit and support this wonderful place.“

“I tasted Bullhorns Burgers, and it was sooo good. The burger was super juicy and packed with flavor, with fresh toppings that made every bite satisfying. The bun was soft, the meat was perfectly cooked, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. It felt filling without being too heavy, and the fries on the side were crispy and delicious. Definitely a place I’d go back to when I’m craving a really good burger. 🍔😋“

“My colleagues and I hosted a retirement party and chose Moonshine for the event. Victor was great to work with. He is so responsive and was able to work within our budget. On the day of the event, the tables were set perfectly, the space was great for mingling and comfortable for eating, the servers were on top of everything, and our guests are still raving about the food. I highly recommend checking out Moonshine Modern Supper Club for your next event or dinner out!“

“I COULD GIVE NICO Kitchen + Bar 5 MILLION STARS, I WOULD!!!!!!!@
We stopped in before the Earthquake Comedy Show and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time.
I ordered the burger and fries along with a Long Island Iced Tea. Everything was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and served exactly the way great food should be. Dorothy had the hummus with fresh vegetables, the pomegranate basil drink, and the Margherita pizza appetizer. Every item was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious.
The drinks deserve their own recognition. The Long Island was spot on, and the pomegranate basil drink was refreshing, unique, and unforgettable.
The service was exceptional from the moment we walked in. Friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table.
The atmosphere was outstanding. Clean, modern, comfortable, and energetic without being overwhelming. Whether you're there for a casual meal, a date night, drinks with friends, or heading to an event at NJPAC, this place delivers.
Now let's talk about something most restaurants overlook: the bathrooms. Spotless. Clean. Well maintained. That level of attention tells you a lot about how a business is run.
The management clearly takes pride in every aspect of the operation. You can feel it in the food, the service, the cleanliness, and the overall experience.
And believe it or not, even the water was phenomenal. That's not something I normally mention in a review, but everything here was just that good.
NICO Kitchen + Bar has set the standard for what a restaurant should be. We left impressed, satisfied, and already planning our next visit.
In fact, I'll be calling because I'd love to learn more about their business...and see if I can be a part of any potential growth.. That's how strongly I feel about what they've built here. When a restaurant gets every detail right, it deserves recognition.
5 stars isn't enough.
5 million stars.
Highly recommend. A true gem in Newark.“

“A group of us decided to give this restaurant a try after a round of golf. We were so happy we did!!! What gem. The atmosphere was very nice! Great bar with plenty of TVs. Nice restaurant area. The food was the highlight! Great food! We had possibly the best wedge salad I have ever had. Trust me. The rest of our group had salads, wings, fish tacos and burgers. All great! Our waitress was also so friendly and nice. We will be back! Even without golf we plan to come back.“

“The new carriage house definitely exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredible and SUPER FRIENDLY as always! Special shoutouts to the manager Joe, bartender Ashely, and our server Giovanna! They went above and beyond and truly made our experience special!

The food was on another level! I am a previous carriage house dinner, and Chef Jaques and his team have greatly improved upon their previous classic dishes!“

“Creative food, friendly staff, always delicious.“

“We had our son’s first birthday party last night, and we chose Punjabi Dhaba for the catering. I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations.

The food was incredible. Every single item tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. We had more than enough for everyone, and guests kept going back for seconds. So many people came up to us just to say how good the food was.

What really stood out was their service. They were organized, attentive, and made sure everything stayed stocked and running smoothly throughout the event. We had a good number of guests, and they handled it all without any issues. It gave us peace of mind so we could actually enjoy our son’s special day instead of worrying about the food.

If you’re looking for Punjabi catering that delivers both quality and professionalism, I would absolutely recommend them. They played a big part in making our event stress-free and memorable.“

“Great restaurant! I had the caesar salad with salmon. The greens were super fresh, dressing was very flavorful, and the salmon was cooked to medium, just as I had ordered.

Our large group had lunch in The Dining Room’s private space. We had many servers, but it was mainly Ana who took care of us. She did an excellent job and is a real sweetheart.

The only downside was the coffee, which was terrible (and not cheap!). I hope they have improved the coffee by now.“

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“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…“

“When conducting business, customer service and integrity are crucial to me. Having dealt with many Nigerian businesses, I’ve found that integrity and customer service is often lacking; however, Modupe is a remarkable exception. Her customer service is A+.
I recently ordered from her restaurant through Grubhub twice, but for some reason, the order was canceled both times. Instead of letting it go, she took the initiative to ask for my address and delivered the food to my house herself—unbelievable! As a business owner, I know that is truly going the extra mile. I just want to say thank you so much for your incredible service!“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“
