    This was our first time here with another couple. The food was absolutely amazing. The grilled octopus and the entrees were great portions which we needed to take home. Definitely a great experience. Our server was also friendly and attentive to our table.

    Our server was not very friendly. She took our order and we were trying to joke with her but she wouldn’t lighten up. The food was fair/good depending on the item. My steak was ordered medium rare but was more medium and it was not hot. My husband’s meal was a ‘special’ but was more pasta than seafood. At the end of the night, we were rushed to pay the bill and get out quickly. Too bad - we had high hopes for a good local establishment.

    Our wait staff Gizelle did a very good job in spite of being the only available wait staff for several tables.

    We enjoyed a wonder dinner with exceptional service. I took off one star as apps and mains came out a little too fast.

    Service is great, food… not so much :( I’m from north jersey and this restaurant is a disgrace to Jersey food. If you want good food, come up north PLEASE! Warren county desperately needs new restaurants.
