    Interior if the restaurant.
    Ritzelle F.

    Went here for an early dinner on Sunday. Location is very accessible from GSP and has lots of parking. We were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spacious seating area with a bar in the middle of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of food choices. We ordered the weekly special which is a pound of shrimps (head off) and a snow crab cluster in a juicy cajun sauce. We also got the crabmeat fried rice. The seafood was really cooked goid and the fried rice tastes really great. And the total amount is less than $50 which is already great deal fir a seafood dinner. Will definitely come back here again and check out their other nenu items.

    Stopped here for a bite to eat. Have been here before with a group on a Friday night. Then they had a DJ and they were pretty full. This day however, was light. Not many people but again it was in mid rush hour. I ordered some lite fare. The crab fries, hush puppies a salad and white sangria. The hush puppies were really good. The sangria was good as well. I did enjoy the salad. The crab fries were ok. Didn't finish them, instead took them home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice after work hang spot or weekend friend gathering spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is good.

    We get from Aloha Krab every week it's a special treat. Sometimes I get the Dungeness crab also the shrimp cocktail is delicious. Shrimp is made perfectly. My husband loves the Gumbo soup he gets extra to have during the week.

    I have been wanting to try this place since it opened a couple of months ago and finally got the chance. The girls and I made reservations for 7:15pm and when I arrived I noticed it is in a shopping plaza, where I parked. I walked into a spot that felt like I was on a boat and it was super cute. Ethan was our server and he did ok. He was new to the waiter game and was fairly young but he did his best. The lady bartender was a big help though. I started with the sangria and it was very tasty. The girls thought so as well. For my entrée I ordered the crab stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was very tasty and the girls liked their meals as well. Only one complaint was the tilapia because my friend didn't particularly care for it. The bill was very reasonable and I would definitely return.

    I hate having to leave a bad review here especially because I brag about Aloha all the time inspire of the one bad experience I had prior but, here we are. Aloha just doesn't seem to be consistent. I came here with a group of friends and the situation literally just went from okay to frustrating to annoying. Our server was in training but she made many mistakes. Management was literally no better; I believe her name was Lin. We ordered 2 boil bags: bag D, bag A, po boy with coleslaw, pickles, and crab fries. The apps were brought out and it was great but suddenly things took a turn. Both of the seafood bags arrived to the table first. My order was missing the extra garlic and the added scallops, and had clams (which weren't supposed to be in it). My friends bag had head on shrimp although she requested head off. We called the server back to our table and explained the misunderstanding. She was super sweet and said that I could keep the bag with the clams and then she would bring me the scallops. She then told my friend she would have to figure out what to do with her order then mysteriously walked away. After a few minutes of waiting, and hearing nothing from our server, my friend was hungry she decided to open her bag and atleast eat the crab legs. I decided to go find her and was met with 2 other servers who said they would straighten out the order. Keep in mind, this entire time, the 3rd order with the po'boy and coleslaw still wasn't received by the third member of the table. We were told things would be coming out soon. It the became a game of cat and mouse because the servers would come to our table, go check with management, and return with more confusion. Finally, a server (not ours) came to our table and explained that I would be getting my scallops soon and that my friend would have to pick everything out of her boil bag except the shrimp so that they could take the original wrong order of shrimp back and bring her the head off shrimp. Meaning, that she would have to individually pick out all of the crab legs, corn clams, and potatoes from her bag!!! Pardon me? She clearly checked with management and this is what she was informed to do. We were totally stunned because how could management inform a patron at a table to pick food out of their order as if we were on a scavenger hunt? Can you imagine having to pick 1/2 pound of clams out of a bag? Crabs? Corn? And potatoes?! We very clearly told her that was absurd and we would not be doing that. She promptly left the table and returned a couple of minutes later stating that my friend wouldn't have to pick things out of the bag, that they would just bring her the correct shrimp. Finally, my friends po' boy was brought out. BUT the coleslaw was missing. So we had to call the server again to remind her about the coleslaw. Then came my scallops on a plate in garlic sauce, and my friends shrimp again in a plate, not a bag. Clearly the boil option was gone. In the midst of this, I also ordered aloha sauce on the side because the sauce in my bag and my friends just wasn't that good. One of the things I love about aloha is the fresh, juicy seafood, and the flavorful sauce. Unfortunately, the seafood was still cooked deliciously but the sauce was bland and flavorless. It was also extremely watered down which is why I had to ask for more sauce on the side. And finally to the bill... now, in no way, shape or form were we expecting our entire bill to be compensated but we did expect some sort of apology whether in the bill form because it was not a good dine in experience. Of course, nothing on the bill was comped! We could not believe it. I asked to speak to one of the servers who ofcourse couldn't do anything so she directed me to the manager Lin. Lin looked right through me when she came out to the area I was waiting which immediately gave me an idea of how the conversation was going to go. She was extremely cold and said she couldn't understand what the bill would be comped for. She stated that it was our servers first day so it wasn't her fault. Albeit, we did give grace to the server BUT it is also NOT our fault that it is her first week. She and the restaurant did a collectively poor job. We should not have to deal with constant mess ups and lack of accountability from management due to their service. Lin decided to finally comp sodas which were what? $3 max LOL and I was totally over it and disgusted. Aloha just can't seem to get it right. Today I felt undervalued, and unimportant. Management should really do a training on how to interact with customers and take accountability when wrong. Union is a wonderful town and it's residents shouldn't be made to feel less than by ownership who could care less.

    I came to Aloha for the first time this past friday. The restaurant is spacious and has plenty of seats. It's dimly lit inside and seems to have an overall nice vibe. The food was good. I loved the juicy Cajun flavor on my crab boil. I do wish there was a little more sauce. The drinks were really nice. Shout out to Nadia the waitress, she was really nice and helpful with her suggestions. The one downside is that the speakers were really loud so it was hard to hold a conversation without yelling a little. Granted, there was an event the night I went so I understand that the music had to match the mood they were going for. Overall, still an enjoyable experience and I'd love to come back.

    Once again had a fantastic meal! The music is way too loud at night but the food and service are both good.

    This place is great and their happy hours drinks are AMAZING! I got the Strawberry Margarita and it was top notch. Big size too. Only 5 dollars.

    Decent place to get seafood. We went there for lunch. We got fried Scallops with cajun fries, crab meat fries, and a crab cake platter that came with sweet potato fries. They are a decent size and fill you up. The total bill came up to be around $45. If I did it over again, I would get fried scallops as appetizers and skip crab meat fries. Since we did not want to get messy eating crab or any other steamed items, we skipped them. The waitress was good. I would go back again. Interest decos.

    Aloha crab is a newer restaurant, dimly lit with an incredibly fun ambience. The room is surrounded with cheesy pirate statues, and seafaring memorabilia that makes you feel like you're on a pirate ship in a 90's cartoon... in a good way. The menu is what you would expect from a Cajun crab restaurant- po'boys, crabs, seafood boils. We went with some fried pickles, coconut shrimp, and po boys. Each one was delicious and filling in their portion sizes. My wife and I both noted that with the spacious dining room and ambience, we wouldn't mind having a birthday party in here. After all, right in the middle of the room is a full bar.

    Is there a decent size bar? How many people does the bar seat?

    I don't have specific numbers but it is a pretty big bar-- u-shaped. So I would say around 14 -16 can fit, maybe more or less

My nephew who lives nearby treated us to an al fresco meal recently while visiting for a family event. My pulled pork smashed burger was everything you want in a packed meat sandwich, with an onion ring and tangy sauce on the brioche bun. The sweet potato fries and a refreshing mocktail to drink made for a perfect meal. Sweetie ate a pasta bolognese (I think) which looked and ate good, and drowned it with a nice glass of red wine. It was packed on the Friday night we visited, with folks lined up for seating, or to hang at the bar and enjoy the bar scene. No reservations. Our late dinner worked fine as the mostly millennial and Gen-Z crowd started thinning shortly after we arrived. Millburn has always been a draw for neighboring townsfolk in search of a meal out. I remember this foodie town from 25 years ago, when its pizza, kosher and diner offerings were top notch. It seems to have upgraded its food scene several notches since my last visit so many years ago. Pure nostalgia for me which made for a very flavorful evening. TOP TIP: Street parking in this part of town is a hassle and the local cops keep a sharp eye for illegally parked cars and inebriated drivers. So park further away from the center of town where you are more likely to snag a legal spot on a busy night.

The food is so creative, fresh, and delicious, the service is attentive and knowledgeable and consistent (not the norm in the suburbs), and we love the ambiance. It was a gorgeous night to sit outside, but we opted for our favorite - bar seats to watch the action. It's hard to find this level of consistency and creativity even in NYC, but to have it right here in Maplewood is so wonderful. So many restaurants in the suburbs rely on frozen, pre-made items from large restaurant supply chains that finding innovative cooking completely from scratch is a real challenge. In a sea of mediocre restaurants, Perla lives up to its name: a true gem! We have been so impressed by the daily specials this summer. We started out with a scallop crudo with yuzu, jalapeno, and shallots that is my favorite crudo right now. We followed that with the new shrimp tostada and I'm only sorry we didn't order two. Later in our meal, I spied a couple at the other end of the bar who did it right: the wife took one bite and immediately ordered a second one so that she wouldn't have to share. This is the second time we've had the tomato salad with olives, shiso, and white balsamic and I can't get over the flavor combination - it's so unexpected and addictive. We can't pass up the broiled oysters with garlic butter, Calabrian chili, and crispy shallots - a dish I was obsessed with the moment I tried it at a pop-up event before the restaurant even existed. Then we had the broiled branzino with lemon, capers, and a watercress salad - again, the only mistake was not ordering two! We were actually down the shore yesterday, but came home because we were craving this dish. We finished off our meal with anchovy toast, which our favorite dessert paired with a crisp Txakolina. It's four pieces of toasted baguette with a generous spread of really good butter topped with one piece of salt-cured anchovy and one boqueron (a pickled anchovy). I can't recommend this dish highly enough, it is perfectly balanced! We love a BYOB, but it is such a luxury that we can order right from our phones at the restaurant from a local wine shop (Lum's Cellars). It's a curated list that has some really fantastic options that all go so well with the cuisine. We started with an Alberiño and then ordered the Txakolina. No notes! We can't wait for our next meal at Perla.

I'm willing to try other things though to see what else is on their menu and i did see they do have brunch.

What really disappointed me was the service. We had a reservation, but had to wait to be seated even with plenty of open tables. That's normally not a big deal for us, but we had an event to get to tonight, so we were in more of a rush. Someone came to us to ask what water we wanted after 10 minutes of being sat, after which the hostess came back over to us to apologize that our server hasn't come over yet and asked if we would like water. Much more time passes and someone (still not our server) comes to ask us if everything is alright. We explain that no one has taken our order, which she apologized for and took our order for us. She then had to come back over because she forgot to include what protein we picked for our pasta. Finally, our server came over to us. We explained that we had already ordered. More hiccups continued throughout the night, including a long wait for the check, never being brought a dessert menu after asking, etc. I'm not one to complain about service, I just think they could be more efficient. At the time we arrived, there were only a few other tables seated in our area. It wasn't super busy, and there were a lot of people working. We overheard staff whispering about who was supposed to be taking care of us, and it still took time for someone to come over and help us. I think the staff knew we overheard or were disappointed in the service, because our dessert was free, and we received a bread basket as well. I'd love to give them another chance, just maybe not if I have plans after.
