    Chicken panini Beer flight
    Allie D.

    I'm a fan! Came here on Black Friday with my family. The service isn't great but the place has a nice ambiance and lots of seating. The waiter told us we had to pay extra for dinner rolls when we asked for them lol. We ordered them anyway and they were really good and flakey. They have a sports bar and tables and booths. I ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich and it was the best one I've had in a while! So moist and a delicious pesto flavor. My family loved their food as well (ordered the chicken panini and shrimp po boy sandwich). It's a bit on the pricey side but beer flight was reasonable ($12 for 4 beers). It's located in the Bridgewater Marriott.

    Surprisingly good. Decided to go here instead of Cheesecake Factory because their wait time was 45mins to an hour on a Sunday afternoon. When we got here it was empty, we were the only table. The service was friendly and professional. The decor was also to my liking. The food arrived in a timely matter. Was very surprised to find that the quality of the food was grade A. From the presentation to taste in terms of freshness and flavor it was on point. This restaurant could easily beat some restaurant in NYC. The only downside and of course every place has one, is the variety on the menu. Was kinda hoping for brunch food on a Sunday afternoon. Also the pricing is a bit high for lunch, which is probably why the place was empty. Overall good experience, would definitely come back but for dinner.

    Seared scallops, broccolini and the 2 drinks.

    Table for 1 please! Made an on-line reservation for 9:45 pm on my way from the airport. On arrival the waitress knew my name. The service was quick and the food was great. It was a much needed to end a long day of flying from coast to coast. If you want to save your calories for drinks, try the scallop dish. The seared scallops was perfectly cooked and was placed over a melody of vegetables. The base was made with corn, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, asparagus and red cabbage. Delicious! The side order was broccolini was great too. The grey goose with berry drink was on the sweet side. The goose with champagne was much better for my taste buds. Shout out to the Filipino waitress - great service! Very attentive.

    Cornflake crusted french toast, blueberry pancakes, veggie egg white omelette. Well presented I must say :)

    I don't show a lot of love to hotel restaurants but this one deserves a shout out. The setup here is awesome. Seating varies from a booth/table to comfy lounge chairs to a beautiful center island. Decor and ambiance feels top notch. Modern. Sleek. Spacious. A perfect getaway from the hustlin and bustlin of the nearby mall. Tbh, I've been here twice and not by choice lol. My boss loves hosting meetings here over breakfast (I won't complain). My boss always gets the cornflake crusted french toast, which is as delicious as it sounds. The blueberry pancakes must also be a winner because my coworker always orders them. I prefer their lighter stuff like the classics and omelettes. Unfortunately my 2nd visit here was not as good as my 1st. The onions and peppers in my omelette this time were practically raw. Raw onions and a 3 hr meeting do not mix well as you can imagine. The hash browns took the cake tho. They were the oiliest potatoes I've ever had. Did not jive right with 3/6 coworkers' stomachs afterwards. Me being one of them, yay lucky me. While the service here is always on point, I think the food was simply off par yesterday. But nonetheless I still look forward to coming back just for the ambiance and beautiful space.

    This place was very nice and they even provided a coat rack to our table. We had planned to go to cheese cake factory but the wait was insane, so we found this spot and it was actually very pleasant. My only complaints would be certain costs. They have an option for salads (minimum price was $12 for Caesar) and then if you want to add meat it's an ADDITIONAL $10 for chicken (my friend was very upset by this as it was basic chicken and not much), $15 for shrimp additional for shrimp, $16 for steak or salmon... this in addition to the salad already having a base price of 12-16. Not sure how they decided that pricing. This point aside, I would say that the other dishes we got were all on point. A few of us got the Short Rib Sandwich which was very flavorful, as was the blackened grilled chicken sandwich. They have little mason jars or jam and honey (I tried the honey with the sweet potato fries as a dip and loved it) The staff was friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean!

    a bar and lounge area

    Excellent late night spot! We used to eat at the old restaurant that was called t-bones and it was actually my favorite. Unfortunately they closed. We finally decided to give it a try and we were blown away! First off there open late, and we love that! We weren't rushed and the service and manager is awesome! They have a nice size bar, these neat little booths with TVs and a nice open dining area. The food was excellent, everything was tasty and fresh!

    Great filet (great seasoning and flavor) with awesome whipped potatoes. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Occupying the space previously…read moreknown as The Office Bar & Tavern, 22 West is a nice, casual tavern setup right on Route 22 with a solid-looking menu featuring a wide variety of burgers, sandwiches, and entrees. I recently met a friend at 22 West for a few drinks and dinner. We got there at the tail end of Happy Hour and enjoyed a couple of locally-produced draft beers. The food itself was perfectly okay -- nothing mind-blowing, but decent enough for a casual bite. We shared a dozen chicken wings and both thought they were pretty good. I had a turkey burger and french fries -- which was well-executed and filling. Looking at their website, it seems as if they've changed up their menu since my visit late last month.. but, I'm not sure I'm going back to try it again because the service really dragged our experience down. We sat at the bar and the staff behind the rail barely paid attention to us and seemed ambivalent about our presence at best. The biggest issue for me happened when I went to the men's restroom and found the soap dispenser completely empty. On the way back to my seat, I mentioned it to the hostess so it could be addressed by the staff and asked if she had any hand sanitizer. She just told me it was her first day on the job and she didn't know who to ask about either. Leaving a restroom without soap is bad enough, but a front-of-house staff member completely brushing off a basic hygiene issue because she didn't want to find a manager is just really bad customer service. It's a convenient spot with decent pub food, but they definitely need to tighten up their service and basic restroom maintenance.

It's super crispy, not greasy at all, and the homemade honey mustard sauce is amazing. It's perfect on the sesame bun and honestly one of my favorite meals to grab during the week. My boyfriend always goes for the build-your-own bowls, which he loves because he can customize exactly what he wants every time. They're always really good and a great option if you're in the mood for something tailored to you. I also went for breakfast for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the Fruity Pebbles matcha, which was pretty good, though I think I would've liked it even more with 2% milk, which they didn't seem to have. I also had the So Extra sandwich and it was so good. The hash brown was still perfectly crispy inside the sandwich, the eggs were fried just right, I loved the touch of spinach, and whatever sauce was on it really tied everything together. I'd honestly come back just for that sandwich alone. Also it's super cute inside, perfect to bring a friend or date looking for a healthier option in downtown Somerville, NJ!

    This was my first time coming back to Turf, Surf and Earth since their new menu change. I walked in…read moreat 11am and went up to the kiosk, and realized that only breakfast items were available. I wanted to try something from the lunch menu, after asking an employee, I was told that lunch starts at 11:30am. So I came back around that time to order. I've been seeing their Big Mack Smash on social media for some time now, and it looks delicious. So I decided to I order their single patty Big Mack Smash, with angus meat and American cheese, on a plant based white bun. I don't care for sesame seeds on buns, and there was no option for a regular burger bun (without sesame seeds), so I chose the non sesame seed vegan bun. I also ordered a side of fries with garlic aioli. The plant based white bun was a little dry and the burger patty was also dry and did not have much flavor. Maybe I should have done a double patty for the burger, since it is a smashed patty and a little too thin for my liking. I felt like I was eating a dry burger bun with mostly lettuce, an occasional pickle and the Mack sauce. I probably will not order the garlic aioli again, it had a sweeter and nutty flavor to it, and I prefer more of a savory aioli. I used to order their Blackened salmon with a side of greens and Spanish rice in their BBQ Ranch flavor style, from their old menu. I do miss that meal, it was so flavorful with the crispy onions to top everything off. But I understand that they made the change to better suit the business and cut back on waste. I probably would not order the big Mack burger again. But I will definitely be back to try something else from the new menu. I've been a customer for over 6 years, and have introduced some of my family members and friends to this restaurant, and we've enjoyed our meals here for that time. I love that there are many vegan and vegetarian options here. Although I am neither, it's a great place for those who have dietary restrictions/preferences. Hopefully I find my new go to menu item soon, but in the meantime I will be ordering and trying many of the other new menu items. This is definitely the place to come if you don't want a typical vegan meal. You'd be like a kid in a candy store, with the amount of options that are here. They also have many non vegan options. Turf, Surf and Earth serves EVERYONE and that is their biggest positive!
