    Short Ribs

    Beautifully decorated place, yummy food and friendly staff. The drinks could have been a little stronger but the meals made up for it. Looking forward to coming back.

    So pretty

    Went for the first time for my daughter's birthday and first was decorated really pretty for the holidays . Everything we had was very good would definitely be back !

    Celebrated my birthday with my family at Delmonico's and it was an awesome experience. We got a few appetizers (chicken lettuce wraps, wings, and calamari) and they were all phenomenal. I ordered the 22 ounce ribeye and it was out of this world. Super flavorful and so soft that my knife cut through it like butter. The staff were super friendly and quick with our orders. The owner actually came out and spoke with us a bit, and even sang happy birthday for me. This is an awesome restaurant, with great ownership and excellent food! I'll be back for sure.

    Our second time coming. Love their steaks. It was quiet when we came but as we left it was getting busy. The owner comes around and is present. The whole staff is real nice. Food was good but this time I think it sat for a little as my medium well was well done. But all good. Steak was still very good and juicy. The inside is clean and cozy.

    Pu - Pu Platter
    Jordan C.

    I heard great things about this place, the New York chain , so when I heard there was one in New Jersey I've been trying to come here for sometime. well I was definitely wildly disappointed, my server clara was super sweet and attentive but the food was definitely lackluster. The appetizers were just mediocre at best the only things that we're good we're basic the shrimp cocktail was good, the pu pu platter was ok. there are definitely some great deals for lunch though, we ordered almost the entire menu and our bill was only 190. I think perhaps lunch is not the way to go because I saw the steaks for dinner and I definitely think I'll be back for that.

    Happy hours

    Eh. Went in recently and had just an okay time. I've been here in the past and enjoyed happy hour but somehow my experience missed the mark. I am taking out how covid has affected things, and my experience was slightly forgettable. What make up for it was the very please gentleman (manager maybe) who went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. Would I go back?? Eh, maybe? Moreso for happy hour apps and drinks if anything.

    Okay, I'm not sure why this place doesn't score higher. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked. The salad was dressed just right. The drinks were perfect. They even had blue cheese stuffed olives for my martini. The baked scalloped potatoes on the dish are amazing. I'm not saying they are healthy, but they taste a little like heaven; creamy and cheesy. Will definitely we back.

    Check this out... It's a little bit tricky where the entrance is, because it is not located on the Main Street as you drive by the restaurant. There is a parking lot in the back and that's where you'll be walking in from. I was told that James Gandolfini (aka: Tony Soprano) was part owner, back when he was alive (God rest his soul), which would make sense why this is designed this way. Back in the day, mobsters always went in through the back door to get seated. I'm not going into detail why mobsters always went in through the backdoor to any "joint" (place of business)...Google it! Haha As you park in the back lot you notice the outdoor seating. Again, perfect for being hidden away from the Main Street so that people driving by wouldn't see what's going on. And, makes for a quick getaway when you're located next to your car haha. As you walk in you have the bar area along the right side with some high-top tables for dining. They have happy hour specials on drinks (half off), and bar food items. The hours run different daily (around 4pm-7pm & 9pm-11pm), and some last a couple hours before closing. They had fit as many TVs as possible, and I could see this place being a nice hangout spot for sporting events including "Sunday Funday". The restaurant side brings elegance and a trendy look to the place. I liked the decor and the seating, great for big parties. I made reservations so I was seated right away which was very nice. The food items I chose were delicious. The bread (dinner rolls) come out hot and fresh with 3 side items: butter, oil infused garlic for a sweet kick, and oil infused hot peppers for a spicy kick). For my main course I had chosen the Filet Mignon dressed with melting butter and garlic which was recommended by our lovely waitress, Chelsea. It was made this way as her special request, so if you see the video you'll have to ask for it to be cooked sizzling hot with butter and garlic. Overall I liked this place, because of the atmosphere and menu. It's a steakhouse that has different dishes to offer (Asian and Italian), and the menu is worth coming back for again. The bar is definitely a nice hangout spot with young locals, and good drinks made by the bartenders. So you won't be disappointed in making new friends if you are new to the area.

    General Taos Chicken
    lauren v.

    My family and I always come to this restaurant on holidays. Brandon (the owner) is very accommodating always making sure you're well taken care of. We generally always start off with the lump crab appitizers it's so delicious and very fresh. & my mom always sticks to the filet mignion and this time I switched to the general Taos chicken. It was phenomenal, I should've gotten this entree years ago! Can't wait to come back!

    Went to this place after driving past it a ton of times from Willowbrook Mall. One day I'll go and check it out. Boy, I wish I went in sooner. The food here was amazing!!!! At first I was a little iffy walking in. It doesn't look like much from the outside. But once you go inside, they treat you like a king from the moment you walk in. Their biggest ticket here is the food quality. I got the Del Monico which is their Ribeye and it was very well seasoned and very fairly priced. The only takeaway was that I couldn't have dessert because of how full I was. The food here is priced just right, the portions are generous, and the food very very very good.

    My family and I love del Monico. We used to visit their older location in Rutherford NJ before it closed down weekly. The food here is just as good. Their pepper dipping sauce for warm bread is worth the visit alone. The fish was fresh and the General Taos chicken was great. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

My husband was craving Mediterranean food and while researching options, we stumbled across Mandaloun. I have no doubt that sooner or later, getting a table here will be impossible because the food is that delicious. We didn't have a reservation but they still accommodated us with genuine hospitality. Our waiter, Marcelo, was exceptional, super attentive, warm, and went the extra mile without ever being overbearing. He gave us the perfect recommendations and took his time pointing them out. I started with the babaghanoush, and let me tell you... it was the best I've ever had. And we just visited the Mediterranean recently, nothing compared to this. It was savory, smoky, and downright addictive. I only wish I had more pita chips to scoop it all up. The hummus sampler was also delicious. We asked Marcelo for more bread and he delivered. For our mains, we ordered the mixed platter of meats and the short rib. Every morsel was perfection, so tender and flavorful it was unreal. Every bite melted like butter. Talk about comfort food at its best. The chef even came out to greet us, and I told him, "Sir... your food is amazing." I cannot wait to go back! This is money well spent, and I already told my husband I want to bring all my friends here. Also, important tip: It's BYOB, so don't forget to bring your favorite wine. I wish I knew beforehand, but we'll definitely come prepared next time. Mandaloun has earned two new loyal customers. Highly, highly recommend. Wow!!! SIMPLY AMAZING! The place is pretty inside too. Just wish they dimmed the lights a little, but overall exceptional experience.

The restaurant was packed when we arrived, with both indoor and outdoor dining, but they were expecting us for our reservation and seated us right away. The front-of-house staff was warm, friendly and even remembered my husband from when he called to make the reservation. The food was the standout. I ordered the short rib, which arrived with quite the presentation, a huge bone topped with incredibly tender, shaved short rib and mixed vegetables. It was delicious and the portion was enormous. I shared some with my husband at dinner, took the rest home, and we still managed to turn the leftovers into an omelet a couple of days later! My husband ordered the double-thick pork chop and loved it. We also shared the fried shrimp and calamari appetizer, and both the marinara and aioli were excellent. One small area for improvement would be helping the younger waitstaff become a little more comfortable guiding guests through the menu. When we asked for recommendations and what dishes the restaurant was especially known for, it took a little prompting before we got to Parmigiano. Our server was perfectly nice. It just would have elevated the experience to have someone confidently say, "This is what we do exceptionally well, and here's what I recommend." Overall, though, we had exactly the kind of evening we needed. We brought a bottle of wine, relaxed, talked, enjoyed the atmosphere and genuinely felt like we had gotten away for a while. Our bill came in at the $100 range, and we left completely satisfied. Great food, generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere and excellent value. We'll absolutely return.

Decor offers a taste of Italy and adds to the charm. Started with a few apps and a chicken parm for the table to share. The Carciofi alla Giudia, the classic Jewish-Roman deep fried artichokes were beautifully presented. A good bit firmer than you'd find in Rome but were still well enjoyed and recommended. Tonno salad with fresh seared tuna was plentiful and packed with flavor. Speaking of flavor the porchetta sandwich was rich and delicious. Really this is closer to a bbq pork than authentic porchetta but still recommended. The star of the show is the chicken parm and eggplant parm. The eggplant was delicate, thinly sliced melt in your mouth. Luckily you get a huge plate. Chicken parm is also excellent and HUGE. While there is $10 plate fee if sharing a main they are fine if you order several items and share all. Very generous with their shaved Parmesan if requested. Prices on the higher side but not all that bad considering the quantity. This feels more like the type of place you come to with a large group than as a couple. Unless of course you are very hungry. Service is excellent.

From a food perspective, our meal initiated with a basket of some of the best rolls I had ever had. They were large, fluffy, and doughy with a hint of crispiness from a light toasting. We then shared the Veal and Beef Meatball, which was gigantic but still managed to have the ideal texture. It was also beautifully seasoned and served in what the chef called his "grandma's plum tomato sauce", which was divine! The sauce was thick and hearty, so when that was paired with pecorino cheese and basil oil, it really made for a fabulous dish. I even cut off a small piece to put inside my roll with a spoonful of sauce - chef's kiss! After that, we enjoyed some of the house-made pasta dishes, tasting each in a family-style format. The Squid Ink Bucatini was tossed with scallops, shrimp, and jumbo lump crab in a seafood tomato sauce. I did not love the briny finish to the sauce or that some of the scallops were chewy. The Tagliatelle with Duck Bolognese, tomatoes, and carrots was good, but I prefer my pomodoro sauce without the addition of a "light cream". Lastly, the special Spaghetti came with lobster, crab, and peas in vodka sauce. That one was definitely my favorite. While I do not love peas, the sauce was rich and flavorful. Across these last two dishes, I thought the pasta was a tad overcooked and could have been more al dente; the bucatini consistency was more inline with my preferences. Overall, I thought the food at Laboratorio Kitchen was above average, but that the service and atmosphere helped elevate the place. I would definitely consider going back to try some of their other dishes.
