    This place could not be more perfect. From the fresh fish to fresh meats, to the incredible cocktails. Best restaurant in NJ.

    What a lovely Saturday evening dining experience! It is wonderful to have professional waitstaff providing top notch service. It is my understanding that most of the staff are long time employees and their dedication to the establishment and each client shows. Starting off with a beverage followed by a hot roll with accompaniments (hummus, oil, olives) set the culinary tone. I highly recommend the eggplant rollatine appetizer with an authentic sauce - so my roll was partially used for losing not an ounce of that souce! Entrees were spot on. We ended with my "dessert" being the fab chocolate martini and my husband choosing the vanilla cheesecake which of course I had to sample. I do normally like a dense cheesecake but this option made me a fan of a light fluffy slightly browned cheesecake! A wonderful experience.
