    A perfect evening at Next Door! Dinner was delightful, the yellowtail ceviche, chutoro nigiri and branzino were the highlights of the meal. The sushi mocktail was so bright and refreshing for a lovely warm day. It is always a pleasure to dine at Next Door and to see everyone working so well together. I am grateful for Next Door, it is one of my absolute favorite places anywhere. Toby is so kind and generous, it was great to see him and he was a wonderful server. Thank you Toby! Thank you Sean and Meghan! Thank you everyone, see you soon!

    I enjoyed the rigatoni with eggplant, red marinara sauce was delicious and plentiful and the eggplant was done perfect! My husband enjoyed the NY strip special. It was tender and lean with chunks of bacon and gorgonzola on top - fries and arugala salad was fresh. Each time we celebrate an anniversary or date night, service, food and atmosphere has been great!

    Delicious, authentic Italian - and we’ll be back again! For parents of picky eaters, be aware that there are limited options with no formal kid menu. Mine did just fine with a basket of bread and pasta with marinara. ❤️
