I love coming here for the good food, lake view and activities next door. The fish tacos, burgers and salads are great. The restaurant is next to a lake with a walkway, playground and paddle boats. It’s also within walking distance of g distant to the Turtle Back Zoo.

This is our third time dining since the opening of Felina Steak and each visit has been excellent. The service, drinks, and food were all great. The meal was properly paced and our appetizer(calamari), pasta(ragu), and pizza(pepperoni) were all delicious. I would highly recommend a meal at Felina Steak - South Orange.
