“Reading previous reviews, it's obvious that the management takes constructive criticism and makes improvements. Our server was great, friendly and informative. The food was fantastic- the beer wasn't cold but that's really the only negative. It's not cheap but it is worth it ! Thanks for a nice night out.“
“Great place to grab a bite on a Friday night...relaxed and tropical ambience, clean, and plenty of seating. The tropical fruits in the fish dishes were phenomenal...added a nice element to the saltiness of the fish. Only drawback are the portion sizes on the fish. Fairly small for what you're paying...it wasn't terrible but I would have liked a little bigger piece and some more rice. However it wasn't over cooked, very fresh, and lots of flavor. Definitely a place you may want to frequent.“
“Im so thankful for John and the entire staff at the Village Inn (Wayne). The venue we were going to use for our daughter's baby shower canceled on us. John was able to accommodate our party. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I was provided time to decorate.“
“Ordered take out from here tonight and WOW. The food was outstanding. I have lived in Wayne for 3 years and have been unimpressed with food options in town so I am thankful to have stumbled upon this gem! My husband ordered chicken franchisee which was light and lemony, fettuccini Alfredo which was perfectly creamy and rich, and I had zuppa de pesce in spicy red sauce- the seafood was so so so fresh, perfectly cooked and they were able to accommodate a special request for me (no linguine, served over veggies. I will 100% be ordering from here again.“
“I can't believe I'm writing a review for a Red Lobster, but Ahmad is a top notch nice server. Thanks for making our night a little brighter, keeping us fed with biscuits, hydrated with water, and for dealing with us eating so much Ultimate Endless Shrimp until our stomachs exploded!“
“This place is fantastic!!! The pasta was to die for! The lamb pizza I’ve been thinking about since I’ve eaten it! The only hiccup was that they were short staffed in the kitchen so we were there for a very long time AND my husbands steak was over cooked. They did more than enough to make it right and were very apologetic. The place is very cute and homey inside. PLUS BYOB! We will be back again that’s for sure !“
“Worth the wait and the hype - usually no wait during quieter hours but be sure to reserve during peak times - the food was delicious and fresh, cooked perfectly with a deliciously famous Capt Loui seasoning - be sure to load up on the seafood for extra flavor in the boil, addd garlic noodles and some homemade lemonade for the full experience “

“Comfortable, casual, but classy atmosphere. The service was very friendly and happy to explain any dishes that we weren't familiar with. The food was amazing! I wish I took more photos. We started with the babaganoush and tablouli salad. My husband had the lamb kebab and I had the chicken kofte. Everything was so flavorful and tender. I have no idea how to spell the dessert we shared, but it was like a non-crunchy creme brulee. SO GOOD, light and refreshing. Highly recommend this place.“
“Certainly! Here's a more concise version:---For over 10 years, this restaurant has been our family's favorite, thanks to the friendly and professional owners who make everyone feel welcome. The food is always fresh, promising an amazing meal every time. Their wine selection is unmatched, truly the best in New Jersey. It's a rare find that continues to impress us with its consistency and quality.“
“Lamb chops very tasty with Lemon Potatoes and Vegetables!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Appetizers were very fresh . Dessert was incredible, we had the Galaktoboureko for the first time ever!!!! Our waiter was very helpful, didn't have to wait long for our food.10/10“
“Wow, a true hidden gem in the heart of Clifton, I've been at hundreds of Italian spots in Jersey and this one is absolutely magic! The rigatoni is homemade in the house, and it definitely shows, I got mine with Cajun chicken and vodka sauce. Melt in your mouth. Delicious! My day got the shrimp Parm, with the homemade rigatoni as well, and he was in love! A full bar I will definitely be back! And a full bar !“
“Adam Weiss's talents shine through in every dish on his menu. The combination flavors and unique preparations keep us coming back time after time. Tonight's carrot soup special and arctic char were simply amazing. Adam's cheesecake is still my hands down favorite ever. Hedy is the perfect hostess- we should all have a Mom like her in our corner! So grateful to have this gem in our backyard.“
“The food was super fresh and so tasty. I think we were there shortly before closing but the few tables that were also dining at the same time were also served quickly. My family ordered three different entrees and shared. We were really happy with our meals- everything was super fresh, the use of veggies and sauces really elevated the taste and quality of the seafood being used. The staff was very friendly and the place had a comfortable feel.“
“I have to say this place is top-notch phenomenal ?. I was here with my family for my birthday and Jon was our server. To start we ordered the wings and Burrata as appetizers OMG delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Tomahawk for my husband and I with hand-cut fries and brussel sprouts and my daughter ordered the Boneless Ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Every single dish tasted like homemade. For dessert, we had the Tres leches and Tiramisu. Tres leches wasn't too sweet and Tiramisu was on point. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious steak.????? stars in my book ?“
“Amazing staff, delicious food, the perfect spot for your event! John was such a pleasure to work with. He took care of every need and made sure that my event went perfectly. My family and I were beyond happy with everything and enjoyed having the private space for us and our guests. Can’t recommend enough and will def be coming back! Thanks again iachetti’s kitchen for everything!“
“The lobster bisque in a bread bowl was delicious. I don't know where they get their bread bowls but mine was perfect. Warm and crusty on the outside but soft and yummy on the inside.The mocktails are new since our last visit and the mojito was the best I've had so far at a restaurant. I also had the kale caesar salad with blackened grouper which I really enjoyed.“
“Great filet mignon - waiter said it comes with string bean but nothing on the side just steak with truffle sauce. Was a hearty portion and cooked perfectly. Not cheap expect to pay 70+ just for steak but quality was perfect. Wines weren’t that expensive. I’d go back to try their prime rib. In comparison Ruth Chris charges a little less for steak but upsells the wines.“
“First time at this Restaurant and we were greeted right away with a friendly hello. It seems like an average Chinese restaurant. They do make Hibachi style food here as well.We ordered Mumbo sauce wings and Honey/Old Bay sauce wings. They both were delicious! The fried shrimp was breaded and cooked to perfection! The added cocktail and tarter sauces on the side was appeasing to the pallet as well!We also had the fried rice (which contains eggs) and that was ok.The prices on their Menu is very reasonable! You get alot of food for your money.We did have to wait some time for our order and it did start to get a little busy when we were waiting, but all in all, it was worth the wait!Check out Hi Good Stuff in Clifton! It is a MUST try!!We will be returning here again to try their Boil Seafood Bags that they have!???“
“I just returned from Costa Rica! Three days later I ran to Tucanes for Costa Rican food! They do not disappoint! Delicious, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented is exactly how to describe my meal! In addition to scrumptious food, TucanesHas a lovely, pristine atmosphere with excellent service. Restrooms are immaculate! I love this place. I went back a week later for another wonderful experience! I am now a regular!“
“I have been passing by this small restaurant for the past 4 years and wanting to try it out. Finally I went and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the small restaurant, which doesn’t look like much from the outside has amazing Mediterranean Turkish food. I was very impressed. Everything was fresh And delicious. This is definitely gem in the ruff . The restaurant is very welcoming and comfi . It’s a family business, and Adam was very helpful and pleasant as a waiter and he told me that his family owns the business. They take a lot of pride in the food that they serve. Also the price for what I paid for lunch was a great deal I got a Shepherds salad. Chicken kebab with rice, and another grain called Bulgar. they also gave me on the house a Turkish custard, which was very delicious. The lunch also comes with a soda. This is a must try hotspot, especially for lunch. I will definitely be back to eat the delicious Turkish food.“
“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“
“Although I experienced a wait of about 40 minutes on a bustling Saturday, the exceptional dining experience that followed made it well worth the delay. From the moment I stepped inside only experienced good things.Our server Leo was knowledgeable, attentive and made great recommendations. The appetizer was amazing, can’t remember the name but will attach a photo. The entries were cooked to perfection I ordered Ensalada de la casa con churrascoFilete de pescado con cangrejo y vegetales.The flavor were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. I found the price very decent. Top-notch service, exceptional cuisine, and cleanliness - Rumba Cubana truly deserves a 5-star rating. Can't wait to come back!"“

“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan.

Not only that our server was so sweet to our kids and genuinely listen to them!!“
“My wife and I are serial Axton Take-out folks... we finally made it a point to dine-in and it couldn't have been better. Francesca made us feel as if we were dining at my home town in Italy and the food was amazing. She is the best. Most experienced waitresses in the industry. Would recommend Axton's to anyone. As a matter a fact I sent my grandparents here (off the boat) and they loved it. If you can impress an Italian with Italian food... you WIN!! Love Axton's !!Parking: Plenty of parking“

“My go to place on the way to the city for the weekend! I hate showing up hungry and looking for somewhere to get a quick bite before a late dinner. Biggie's is perfect for what I needed. The food is consistently good. Had the lobster roll and it was fantastic. Great drinks, you definitely get your money's worth too.. All around yes!“
“Brought the kids to Ferati’s tonight and they did not disappoint! We are originally from Brooklyn so we know good pizza. Alex made my daughter the most delicious chicken roll! The quality of food made me feel like I was back home in Brooklyn! Will be coming back often!“
“We had lunch on a Friday, the restaurant was quiet, but the atmosphere was warm our waiter was very professional, very pleasant. We ordered lunch with main course and dessert. The food was absolutely authentic, high end. My veal chop came with an assortment of mushrooms that were perfectly prepared,: flavorful, seasoned just right. My husband another meat dish from the menu, that he hereby declared truly delicious. We hadn't gone back to Cenzino in a long time, but may well be make it a more regular stop.The restaurant is elegant, pristinely clean. Such a nice time.“
“Food is pretty good, my 4th time here. It's funny that an Italian Restaurant is actually closed "Every Sunday" when that is the biggest day for Italians and everyone else to go out for macaroni dinner. I'll come back, just not on a Sunday, haha. I'd give them 5 stars if they were open Sundays.. That's just weird. Everyone needs a day off but perhaps take a weekday off instead or rotate Sundays on and off? I'm not the only one who wonders why they close every Sunday..“
“Bartenders were great. The food seemed a little more processed than I remember it. It's a chain, so you have to account for that, but I seem to remember it being a little more flavorful.One exception; all the bang-bang stuff (shrimp, of course, but also had vegetable) continues to be spot on!“
“The food, staff, and environment was amazing. By far the best hook and reel location. The drinks are perfectly made, the food is cooked to perfection, and the staff are super helpful and make this dining experience 10 times better. The staff are quick to attend you and are attentive. I would’ve gave this place 10 stars if i could.“
“Mesob never disappoints, it offers top decor, friendly and super attentive staff on top of the flavorful and plentiful portions that warms both the belly and soul. You can tell that this is a labor of love.Kid-friendliness: Our 1 year old went in on both the meat and veggie sampler. The Highchair was sturdy, clean and staff was friendly and playful with our little one.“
“We licked our knives! Need we say more?! (We didn’t eat everything so we asked them to use a spatula to be sure to get all the sauce!) LOL! But seriously, we just found our new favorite restaurant! Everything is exceptional from the moment you walk in! Excellent service, excellent atmosphere, PHENOMENAL FOOD! Can’t wait to come back! Eric was the most excellent waiter!“
“I was there last night 3/30 to have the Whiting and French fries. At first I was very disappointed when I realized they didn't have anymore of this special "pink sauce" that tastes amazing. But when I got in the car and tasted that fish, it was fresh, well-seasoned, and tasted just as good with or with out the sauce. I will definitely be returning.“
“First time dining here and we were pleasantly surprised with the variety of dining options and specials. The pre-fixe choices (6 oz File, penne vodka) were both great and reasonably priced for all the food you receive. Desserts (Chocolate Mousse Pie and Tiramisu) were quite delicious! The wine selections are also good. We had very attentive service and friendly attention, without being overbearing. We would recommend and go back!“
“Had dinner here last night. Delicious, innovative menu. Try the crispy duck crostini, duck fat patatas bravado. Everything we had was great.And our server, Melissa, could not have been more helpful.Highly recommended (as are, reservations - this place is popular and gets busy).And, it’s BYOB!“
“Went for dinner and drinks with a friend. Made a reservation and they were ready for us when we arrived. Prompt and friendly service. Sam is just superb he made clear understanding about the menu which I appreciated. Good menu options. We ordered an app, 3 entrees and drinks and received quickly. Hummus, Mast-O-Moosir and Panir-Sabzi was awesome! Chicken Sultani and Shrimp Kebob were authentic in every bite and a good portion. Baklava and other desserts were generous. Excellent experience! Thank you Sam !!“
“I’m writing this for my father.He was craving Mott Street NYC shrimp and calamari but didn’t feel like going to the City. He was in the area and decided to give this place a try. He was very impressed and said it was just as good if not better than Little Italy! It wasn’t exactly on the menu but they still went out of the way to accommodate him-biscuits and all! He also said the people were very friendly. Can’t wait to try Michel Angelo’s too!-From Tom Fico of New Jersey“
“Definitely a seafood lovers destination. The wait time can be long sometimes but its well worth it. I'd rather wait for excellent food than get mediocre food on demand. The staff is awesome and so are the owners. Its always a pleasure going there to eat. See you guys real soon. (Getting hungry)“
“The ladies were so helpful taking care of my baby! They happily held and rocked her during my friends bridal shower. The vodka penne was amazing and I enjoyed my chicken Francesce. The bartender makes a good green tea shot. We will be back!“
“This place has great food and is always busy whenever I go! I've tried a few of their dishes but my favorite is the mapo tofu. They also have vegetarian options including soup dumplings! What really sets them apart is their service. Everyone is truly SO friendly!“
“We had our baby shower at La Lanterna in October 2023. Joanne, the owner, was more than helpful with all of the preparations from beginning to end. We felt like one of her family. The food, the atmosphere, the service, and the attention to detail made our day a memory to be cherished always.❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“Tiny storefront, hard to find with gps. Large interior, deceptive from outside. Nice atmosphere, bathroom was ok, prices a little steep, huge menu difficult to navigate. It took me at least 20 minutes to select my order and many of the dishes are labeled spicy!“
