I met with my family who come to this restaurant on a regular basis. I was visiting NJ and we decided to meet here. First impression would be walking through the parking area of which there are plenty of spaces available. The aroma outside draws you in! Inside the restaurant is roomy and beautifully decorated. On to the food! We ordered several appetizers...grilled chorizo sausage slices, garlic shrimp, garlic mushrooms, calamari(the best that I have EVER had ever!) All of the appetizers were amazing! They bring to the table a bowl of incredible Kalamata olives, so delicious we ordered them over and over and over again! They also serve warm bread with butter. The service is impeccable! Attentive without being intrusive. When you order your entree, itâs a large serving, but they also bring to the table a huge bowl of saffron rice served family style. So very good! This was a fine dining experience in every aspect. The food is outstanding, the service is as good as it gets and the restaurant is beautiful. The Sangria was so delicious too! All of my future trips back to NJ will include a visit here for dinner! It was the BEST imho... If you enjoy delicious , QUALITY seafood then you should try this restaurant! The menu is extensive with many seafood entrees available! I HIGHLY recommend it! They also have beef and chicken dishes on the menu.

We normally don't go to steakhouses for dinner. I find steak the easiest thing to make at home. We buy prime beef at a local butcher and grill it to perfection. Not crazy about paying $40-50 for a steak and then paying for potato and vegetable. I'm sure the steak here is tops. The best deal is their happy hour from 4 to 6:30 Monday to Friday. Half price appetizers and drinks. The appies are outstanding; crab cakes, clams oregenato or casino, sea scallops, lobster mac and cheese, etc.. Also, most drinks are half off. Kettle one martinis for $7.00 and they are huge. Good wines for $5.00. Can't beat it. Very good service as well.

We went to this restaurant when it first opened and were impressed with what they had to offer. It can be hard, in an area where there at least 30 other pizzerias in a 5 square mile area, to break into the market. They have various coupons on their website too. The first visit included pasta - the portion was large and good. My friend had a burger (which I also tried) and it was delicious - cooked well and with quality beef. The pasta came with a side salad and bread, and they also offer whole wheat and gluten free pasta for an additional $2.00. Our young waitress was outstanding - she anticipated what we needed before we even asked for it! For example, she saw we had brought wine, and before even approaching the table, had already grabbed two wine glasses and an opener! I usually have to request extra napkins and hot sauce, but it's like she read our minds. I was so impressed with her skill, that I asked to speak to the owner and made sure he knew how happy we were with her service.The second visit we tried the pizza - I'm rather picky about my pizza and it passed my tests: not too greasy, good crust, flavorful sauce and cheese. I'm looking forward to returning to try some of their other pasta dishes and specialty pizzas!
