    I went here for driving lessons when I was 16. 10/10 recommend. I would be a horrible driver if they hadn't taught me.

    Last year, after my older daughter turned 16, I called several driving schools and actually the…read moreonly ones who reliably answered their phone was Safety First. Asking around, I heard some others from Princeton who used them, so we went ahead and booked with them. My daughter had the same instructor for all three of her lessons. He was always on time and everything went fine. All lessons were scheduled within a 5 or 6 day window at the end of July (about a week after I called them initially). When we called back to schedule someone in April to take her for her road test on her 17th birthday, her prior instructor was no longer with them due to illness. Someone else took her and she did fine - she passed and he'd given her the added tip of getting the QLess app so that by the time she passed the road test, she was 10th on the 'line' in the dmv building - she would have been 56th! So she was dropped back at school that day with her license in hand, on her 17th birthday. Only drawback was that they did sometimes pick up or drop off another student at the end or beginning of a lesson. There was another woman with them on the day of the test as well - also taking her test. Additionally, the lessons were cut a little shorter than the 2 hours, but driving is exhausting when you are first learning, so neither my daughter nor I really had any complaints about that. They covered all the basics - stop, start, reverse, k-turn, parallel, highway . . .

    Was driving today on Amwell Rd in Somerset and was rudely cutoff by an instructor around 3:20pm…read more Extremely reckless speeding, whipping in and out of lanes and almost clipped my mirror. I got flipped off after honking at him. This person should not be teaching anybody driving, and I certainly wouldn't trust this person behind the wheel, especially with my teen.

    For my first two driving lessons, I had an instructor named Tom. He was very patient, never raised…read morehis voice, and always spoke in a calm and understanding way. He knew it was my first time driving and made the experience feel safe and encouraging. On my third lesson, I was assigned an instructor named Johnny. From the start, he was aggressive sharply pointing out my mistakes and yelling when I had trouble changing gears. He kept telling me to go over the speed limit, even though there was a car very close in front of me, which felt unsafe. He also told me to keep looking up, but that made it difficult to see the speedometer, which only added to my stress. He would playfully punch my arm during the lesson, but it didn't feel appropriate and came across as unprofessional. Because of this experience, I didn't feel comfortable or supported during the lesson. It made me realize how important it is to have an instructor who is calm, respectful, and professional, especially when you're just starting out. If you decide to go through this driving school, I highly recommend asking for Tom and not Johnny!!

    Employees are very rude and their lessons contradict each other. They were extremely impatient, and…read moredefinitely should not be teaching with that attitude. However, my son did pass the driving test with their 1 hour review. Not worth the money. I hope they retrain their employees to have some customer service or at least know how to drive properly!

    This was of the best brunches I've ever had in Jersey! I came here with my family because we saw…read morethat this place is run by a famous chef (Maricel) and that they even offer cooking classes. We were quite hungry so we ordered one of the tower sets and some other stuff like lumpia and eggs. I loved the tower- it featured a superb mix of meats, potatoes, eggs, and sweet pastries. I will definitely say either share it or come super hungry because I was stuffed to the brim by the end of the meal. Service is super fast and efficient too. The owner did rounds to talk to everyone as well which felt quite inviting. The vibe inside is also nice and cozy, and the tables are spaced pretty far apart so it doesn't feel crammed in there. Overall, highly recommend as one of the best Filipino spots and brunch spots in the central Jersey area.

    Every once in a while you come across a wonderful combination of excellent food, clean and…read moreefficient service, meticulous choices even of silverware's and expensive looking plates and most of all, the most personable group of people, starting with the owners! This is an excellent find and won't mind going back to discover more mouth-watering dishes. My husband and I had the theee-tiered set of different kinds of food for brunch. Amazing that every item from pandesal to suman to siomai, tapa, sinangag and more were cooked to perfection! As if that were not enough we even tried the corn and cheese ice cream and the sansrival were to die for! Sometimes you feel like keeping the best kept secrets, but this place can't be kept a secret! The customers will definitely enjoy every bite of their food!
