    My friend and traveled to Tom’s River NJ to, yes, shamelessly visit the Jersey shore. We looked on open table for a nice fancy Italian Restaurant because we love Italian, and came across Cordi’s. What a great experience. The food was amazing. Everything was cooked to order. It started with bread and olive oil, then their arugula salad, followed by the main course of the fettuccini and chicken parm, and we finally ended with their homemade plain and peanut butter cheese cake. We will be thinking of that place and the food, along with the amazing service and in house evening singer for a very long time.

    Always enjoy St. Stephen's Green as the food is consistently good, ample portions and reasonably priced. My husband mixes things up each time we dine there however I go for the Essex & Sussex salad 90% of our visits. Although I always enjoy this salad, it was exceptional on Friday night. Kudos to the chef/garde manger that prepared it! My husband ordered the turkey club, no complaints. Unfortunately, we did not indulge in sweet potato fries this time. They are not to be missed.

    Place is small, with the tight seating and the sound, hard to hear your conversation with the music and amongst others. Food was Delicious and enjoyed the flavors and freshness. Pricey, but that’s ok when the food is good but the protein portions are small for the prices like oxtail very small. I will revisit in the future. The service was friendly. Thank you.
