I've been here many times over the last year or so and I absolutely love it! Always a delicious meal from Apps to Dessert. Never disappointed. Some friends I dine with are GF or Vegan, and this has lots of great options. Tonight my friend ordered the Lobster Scampi and because of her dietary restrictions she swapped out the pasta for mashed potatoes and also swapped out a vegetable. Extremely accommodating! I ordered the chicken kabobs which were juicy, and so yummy, which came with saffron rice and a garlic aoili. Delicious! 3 large kaboobs and a large enough portion that I had some leftover to enjoy tomorrow! We also had the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer (no complaints!) and for dessert I ordered the flourless chocolate cake, which was so decadent and exactly what I hoped it
I visited this place for the first time during a Mom's Night Out with a few friends. Great attentive service where the staff was also able to accommodate one of us who had a food allergy. It was BYOB, so we were able to bring in our own adult drinks of choice to share with the group. The private room we sat at was spacious, well lit, and was simple yet classy. For appetizers, we shared the Roasted Garlic and Brie, Zucchini Chips which we enjoyed. As an entree I had the Blackened Ahi Tuna which was also delicious as well as the Nutella Creme Brulee for dessert. I would definitely come back with my friends or perhaps date night with my husband to try the other dishes.
Came here to try something local. Smaller menu with great sounding options. Ordered the special Blacken Grilled Swordfish with rice and pineapple. Tastes great, larger portion but entirely too much rice. Also was more: rice & bulgur which was good but heavier. Apps were ok: spinach artichoke dip & coconut shrimp. Place was quite pricey and had good ambiance and sound level ... until a singer with an electric guitar came and deafened the room with the noise they made. Felt like it was a TGIF or Chilis after that. Staff was friendly enough and accommodating. Restaurant is clean. Place is BOYB but they do serve NJ-local Red & White wine.
Super great experience. Lamb shank was amazing....I had the jasmine Sabayon berry dessert....quite alot of GF items that were amazing. I just feel better on GF, everything that I had tonight taste so much better than typical places I go to Took my Mom there again on 2/23/22.. just amazing...just as good if not better than the first time I was here a month ago
Flavor is great. Presentation was lacking. But hey good food is good food. That table decor was .... . 🤔
