Loved my first Dungeon Crawl at Silk City in July '26. Got there a little early and stopped into…read morethe beer garden to check out the menu and see how late the kitchen was open. I planned on grabbing something to go after the show. As I was perusing the menu I saw several dishes pass by and decided I couldn't wait any longer. In particular I noted the wings and chicken fingers, both of which looked amazing. I got a table next to the bar in their lovely beer garden. Has some TVs, a very friendly staff, and the food looked great. I was blown away by their chicken fingers. Obviously hand breaded, and served with Comeback sauce and your choice of ranch or blue cheese. I ate a few and saved the biggest one for a late night snack. Ended up eating it a couple days later and it was still delicious! I'll have to try the wings next time. Service was great, from hostess to servers, everyone had smiles. Food came out promptly and my drink was refilled without asking. Definitely a good start to the night. The Dungeon Crawl itself was the highlight of the evening! This is in the lounge/bar area of Silk City. It's an intimate setup with the stage in a corner with a dance floor and the bar area and a few tables at the other end. A DJ warms things up while the main act comes on at 8:00. It was Dogs in a Pile for my first visit and I was blown away by the sound and energy. 2 sets of amazing improv and jamming, with a dedicated crowd of music lovers. I can't wait to get to my next one!

One of my friends got the breakfast sandwich called "Trenton makes - the World Takes" and I love the nod to some NJ history. Good food, nice ambiance. This was my first time here but I would definitely come back again.

This was my first time at FIA, and I more than likely will not go back. It wasn't a horrible…read moreexperience, but it wasn't a great one either. Let's start with arrival - I knew I was going to be late to my reservation, so I called the restaurant to let them know. I called multiple times and they never picked up the phone. So when I arrived, of course my reservation was cancelled. No big deal, I'll just sit at the bar. The bar service was bizarre. The bar tender was not fully attentive when taking my order. He asked what I wanted and then walked to the other side of the bar to tend to other guests as I was in the middle of telling him my order. Very unprofessional. He was the only person working the bar though, so I tried to give him grace, but at times I felt ignored and like we did not have his full attention. This was made clear when I received my food and my order was wrong. Again, no big deal. They brought out the right food, and I was good to go. We ordered the wood grilled oysters, lollipop wings, cornbread, whole snapper, mac & cheese, some drinks, and desserts. I will give the food a 7/10. The wings were delicious (though I didn't care for the whipped ranch dip - it was a texture thing for me). The oysters weren't my favorite. The cornbread, mac & cheese, and snapper were delicious. And the dessert and drinks were decent. Another thing to note - there is no restroom. You have to go to the hotel next door to use their restroom. Very bizarre. The decor and ambiance was nice, but overall, not an amazing experience for me. Oh and the kicker - they did not allow us to split the check evenly. It was a party of 2 and they would not split the check. Very very annoying.

I'll start off by saying this is a really cute, cozy spot. It's easy to locate and access, and the…read moresingular staff was friendly, though he was one person and had to tend to the entire restaurant (host and seat, take orders, and check in). We got oysters as a starter and were shocked that for $22, it was only 3 pieces. There's also a 20% service fee regardless of how big or small your party is, even 2 people. The drinks were mostly okay but also overpriced. We did really enjoy our entrees, though the oxtail was a little salty. Not sure I'll personally by back but it's worth checking out if you go right to the entree.
