Marlene Frayne5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dining experienceThe staff is attentive and the food is delicious. We happened to be dining on a Thursday between 4 and 6 so we chose our meal from a special menu which offered a 3 course meal for $25. The lobster bisque had delicious lumps of lobster. The mussels were in abundance. Our main course was salmon and risotto. The risotto was slightly undercooked but the salmon was very tasty. We finished our meal with the Tiramisu and the Creme Brulee - both selections were exquisitely prepared. Overall we had an outstanding dining experience.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMamazing mealthis place is great! everyone's meal was top notch. the flavors and presentation are amongst the best i've ever had. our new favorite place in the area!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMArugula perfect placeBest italian joint around, gotta love it , byob! Good job5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious but...We've never been to Arugula during the middle of the week (which might explain the shorter menu) and now that the weather is getting warmer - the menu was definitely lighter and more oriented towards fish.... but I missed some of the choices that had been on the menu the last several times we dined at Arugula. Maybe they just wanted to change things up and everything was delicious. I just missed the Strozzapretti with the Duck Ragu and some of the other chicken entrees. I will be back soon - the food is amazing.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful food, excellentWonderful food, excellent service and, since it's BYOB, the price was was very reasonable.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent restaurant.

Its a must try!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit toThis was our first visit to Arugula. Our waiter was very attentive and informed us of all the dinner entrees and how they were prepared. He recalled all of the entrees by memory and did not have to read the information from a paper list. He was also very friendly and very nice.
The food was outstanding from the appetizers to the main entree. We were not able to enjoy dessert because we were full. Next time we will save room for dessert. We will definitely return again and are so fortunate that this restaurant is so close to home.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service was excellentThe service was excellent and our dishes were very good although a tad pricey.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is delicious and freshFood is delicious and fresh as always. calamari and veal meatballs are delicious Service is wonderful4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMEat Here!Especially excellent service by Lauren.

Steak was a special cooked to perfection.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was the 1st Easter BrunchThis was the 1st Easter Brunch that Arugula has had. Our family goes to Easter Brunch every year, so they were excited when I told them that we were going to Arugula, as we all love the food. While the selection was smaller than they larger venues we were not disappointed!!! We are hoping that they will have an Easter Brunch next year as we will be back!!
PS~ This is a BYO restaurant. We loved that we could bring our own bloody mary's!!!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service at ArugulaThe food and service at Arugula is always very good. This visit was on Easter Sunday and the restaurant was very busy with a number of large parties. As a result, the noise level was higher than normal and the servers were very busy.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had our first visit toWe had our first visit to Arugula for Easter dinner. We had heard so many good things about this local restaurant. We were seated as soon as arriving. Guess they were under staffed for the holiday because when the young man came to our table he was surprised no one had delivered bread or opened our wine. I don't think he is a regular waiter since he didn't explain any specials or just welcome us. There was a party of 18-20 next to us so is was very loud at times.Too bad they don't have a room for large parties. Now for the GOOD review. The mussels and sauce and bisque soup were a good start for our meal. Two of us had the pork and one had the scallops. The food was cooked perfect. We will return but not on a holiday3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely awesome diningAbsolutely awesome dining experience. Will definitely be returning.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMI frequent this restaurantI frequent this restaurant often. This is truly a neighborhood gem! They just recently changed their menu for the spring and I can't wait to go back and try their other selections. Def a must try if you have never been!

We especially like the weekday early-bird special menu, and also always look forward to both the fall and spring restaurant week during which you get to sample the chef's delicious, homey yet gourmet cuisine, at the reasonable price of $35.00 for four courses. It is understandably a busy restaurant, and we would definitely recommend reservations (especially for weekend dining). My husband and I have never been disappointed, and we have taken various friends there because we know that our dining experience will always be first-class and everyone will leave there full of good food, happy thoughts, and plans for future visits!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMI stumbled upon it by accident.I stumbled upon it by accident. Best mistake I ever made. Everything was hot and so tasty.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful!Everything was wonderful from the staff to the delicous and beautifully prepared food. The only negative comment I have is during restaurant week with the $35 4 course menu, they have many options which are an added fee. We go to both NJ and Philly restaurant weeks and have never seen any restaurant do this, including some of the higher end restaurants. This doesn't really quite fit in with the set menu. I did have the Chilean seabass which was an added $8 but it was excellent as well as all the other courses. The staff did go above an beyond to accomodate added people to our reservation and were wonderful all around. This is my 5th time at Arugula and won't be the last!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMBoth my wife and I had theBoth my wife and I had the best meal I've had in years, it was simply outstanding, if I had more time I would have gone there twice.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMOnce again had a fabulousOnce again had a fabulous meal. Everyone raved about all four courses! Thanks for a great meal.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWe visited during restaurantWe visited during restaurant week. We have dined here before and loved our food. This time, my husband was very happy with his meal, but mine was rather bland. I ordered the shrimp appetizer which was very good but then when my salmon came it was the same presentation.....both were on a bed of cannellini beans.I was dissappointed. The dessert was excellent. Overall a great place to eat but go when you can order from the regular menu.....it is much better than the options on the special menu.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was amazing!!! WillThe food was amazing!!! Will definitely go back!!!3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMOur only objection was theOur only objection was the noise and crowd which was due to "Restaurant Week". We will most assurdedly go back on a normal off weeknight. The food amnd service was excellent,3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother Great Dinner!We visited Arugula during Restaurant week. The menu had a lot of our favs and did not disappoint. The Duck Meatballs appetizer was outstanding, my Sea Bass very flavorful. I always enjoy the poached pear and walnut salad. The bread pudding dessert was divine == warm, firm bread pudding with sauce and ice cream on top....
It was a very crowded, busy night due to Restaurant Week, but our service did not suffer.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThere for a second time, weThere for a second time, we felt that the food was not as good as the during our first visit. It should be noted that both of our visits were during "Hot Chefs" week.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was SJ Restaurant WeekIt was SJ Restaurant Week and the menu was abbreviated due to the fixed price - but it was very inventive and a great value. We had a large table of 8 and had a great time. The restaurant was filled and it seemed like everyone was enjoying a delicious meal. I would highly recommend Arugula and I intend to go back very soon!!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMMy cousins and I went to ArugulaMy cousins and I went to Arugula for dinner, the service was excellent as was the food.
