HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!HORRIBLE! First time experience here. If I could give this horrible place 0 stars, I would! We were here to meet up with friends who suggested this place. We are from out of town and agreed to meet them here. We respect that they are short staffed, however, as we sat and chatted with our friends, we watched as every table was served their food BEFORE ours, and we placed our order with the waitress LONG BEFORE them! Our waitress at one point came over to apologize for the long delay and said our food would be out next. We watched 4 OTHER TABLES WHO CAME AFTER US BE SERVED! INCREDIBLE! We flagged our waitress and asked where our food was.and why others tables were served after she told us we would be next? After she made every inexcusable excuse she could, we asked to see the manager. She told us the manager was not in. FINALLY AFTER EVERY TABLE WAS SERVED AFTER US we got our food, which was horribly overcooked. My bacon in my BLT was black! My French fries were burnt. Our friends who suggested this place their food was overcooked and burnt too. After paying an almost $100 bill for lousy service and horrible food, we all left in disgust. We honestly though we were being discriminated upon. As a retired executive of JDPower, this is the worst experience I have ever had in terms of customer service and food quality. I do not want the typical response to my review as that will anger me even more. Please train your staff to be more respectful of diversity and stop making excuses that are totally unacceptable.

great place for lunch

Great restaurant with great service! They have very unique menu options, which all sounded delicious. Out of the things we ordered, the Bananas on the Beach was my favorite. It had a very interesting flavor, but was really good! We had also ordered some sort of crepe dish, which was also fantastic, though I forget what it was called. They have great outdoor seating with heaters when we went, which made the experience very enjoyable. Will definitely be back soon!

Had a lunch with a friend. Dined outdoors. She had the salmon with sweet potatoes and broccoli, despite saying broccoli was not her favorite, the waitress took away a clean plate when we finished!. I had Veggie Quesadillas (Sautéed spinach, wild mushrooms, tomatoes, Monterey jack, cheddar cheese. salsa, sour cream and fresh avocado. Served with mixed greens in honey cilantro lime dressing). Yummy and huge - took half home!The service was slow but we were not in a hurry.Parking on he street IN Westfield is tough, but Xocolatz is far enough (2ish blocks) that we were both ablee to find free parking on he street within 500 feet.

We met family from NY here for dinner. Here is my FABS report. FOOD - The food was all well prepared and had good flavor. They were missing a few items from the menu that would have been nice to try. Salmon, Sea Bass, Garlic Shrimp and a Greek Salad was ordered. The only issue was that the Garlic Shrimp was over cooked and tough. ATMOSPHERE - Well decorated and lively art. Nice for an evening meal. BATHROOM - Bathroom, yes just one for all, was clean and we'll kept. There was a second one on the second floor. Would have been nice not to have had to wait in a line to use it. SERVICE - We had a friendly server and she handled or orders well. She did fail to take our orders for drinks (tea). Overall it was a good meal and everyone left feeling full. We would return if In the area again.

Good atmosphere and food. A great place for brunch

Nothing special.Last week I went to this restaurant in a group of 6. The waitress was forgetful and uninterested. She didn't even introduce herself. It was a hot day and the water glasses were so small (4oz) that we had to refill many times. Not to mention there were lipstick stains on most of the glasses which was rather concerning. Our food took an hour to arrive at the table. It was decent. I had the chicken BLT. It took 10 minutes for my friend to get a box to take home her food because the waitress kept forgetting. I am disappointed. Honestly, I don't see a reason to go back to this restaurant.
Great restaurant with excellent service! We loved the menu here with so many fantastic options. The Bananas on the Beach were particularly delicious and interesting, but all the food we had was very good.They also have outdoor cabanas with heaters available that separate you from other diners which was perfect for a slightly chilly but windy day.Highly recommended and we will definitely be back again.
