1. The River Palm Terrace
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 225 reviews
Welcome to the River Palm Terrace, New Jersey's finest steakhouse! We serve the finest prime beef available anywhere. Only 1% of the beef fabricated in America is suitable for use in our restaurant. Our beef is hand selected from the best-fed cattle by the finest stockyard packing companies in the west. The steaks are center cut only from U.S.D.A. Prime Beef, aged on the premises to the mellow point of perfection and then hand crafted by our own butcher for incomparable tenderness and flavor. Even our prime rib is prime. All of our prime beef is tender and juicy beyond imagination.....Search the world over, taste and savor, you'll find no other meats to compare, by any standards, with superb selections of the River Palm Terrace restaurant. This is an assurance and our promise.

Been here forever. Get the hot dog ""ripped"- that is, well done so it splits on a toasted bun. Fries are outstanding. A vintage roadside stand that beats them all, anywhere. Very old with no updates. Kitchy. Outside bathroom and parking. Serves a good burger also. No gimmics.

Probably eat in Amarone once or twice a month. Very consistent service, excellent menu and accommodating hosts (Nick and Nick). Kind of quiet, but nothing wrong with that.

Taken by a friend as an example of good neighbourhood restaurant it was mediocre tourist quality fare with local hidden gem prices
The recipes are authentic but the execution was dull. Portions too big to compensate?
It was really quite expensive given the low quality.
Service was slow but with a smile

Have been to Dante's a few times for parties, but recently for dinner with friends. The classic Italian menu and the daily specials are all great. Service was good and the atmosphere is fine. No bar, but you can bring your own wine. Try the chicken piccata or the branzino (when available as a special).

We ordered and had it delivered. The woman on the phone was very nice and answered any questions we had. Delivery was fast. The Calzones were HUGE and absolutely amazing!! I'm from around here but haven't been back in a very long time. Their food is exactly what I loved about NY/NJ food. We will definitely order from here again next time were here!

Love this place!!!!
A strip mall dedicated to 100% Japanese imports! Book store, gift shop, the main grocery store! The cafe area in the grocery store (CASH ONLY) is wonderful. Around 15 types of food choices - all authentic Japanese! Ramen, sushi, the rice ball stand is amazing! So simple yet so much flavor!
We came on a weekend and the parking lot was full! Had to loop around and finally found one- I am sure weekdays are not as busy!
We enjoyed eating lunch and having a yummy matcha tea drink before spending over two hours in the grocery store and book store combined!
Weather you like Japanese food or not, come here and explore around! So many new flavors and things you can try and love.

Very cozy, real italian pizzeria in the heart of Harlem, great pizza and wine selection
Reviewed By KevinRaff - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
I was in NY bringing my son back to school and we stopped here to eat, 4 of us. We started with the beet salad and the spinach salad. Both were fresh and excellent. We then ordered 2 pies, a Margherita Pizza and the Burrata Pizza (which they only do Fri-Sunday). Both were excellent. I've eaten A LOT of pizza over the years and the pizzas we enjoyed are really the best Neapolitan Pizza's I've had. So good, in fact, we ordered a 3rd pizza, the Aglio Olio. I can't say enough good things. The place was clean, great atmosphere and a very friendly staff. Definitely worth the trip if you're uptown anywhere.

Came here on a late Sunday afternoon, we were seated right away. Its BYOB so you can bring anything you want. I cant recall the dish names, but everything we got was very tasty, the portions are also pretty big, I would definitely recommend this place and would come back here.

Consistently excellent Ramen in a decidedly Japanese setting. You feel transproted outside of the United states.
