Amazing! Came here for a lovely anniversary dinner :)…read more This place has that old school Bayonne charm. Plus the outside porch area is cute and nautical, has a water feature with koi fish. The inside is rustic, and coastal themed. The servers were very nice and attentive. The portions huge and the prices right. We split the combo for 2 that was $54 and came with a huge lobster tail, filet mignon, chicken and grilled shrimp. Plus three sides which are rice, green beans and broccoli and home made potato chips. Also per person include soup or salad! And they bring over warm rolls, which were excellent and crunchy on outside and fluffy on inside. The potato chips tasted so fresh, lightly seasoned and delicious. The fish and meat were cooked perfectly. The steak had a nice char and sear on the outside. We got the tartufo for dessert and it was delicious, super creamy ice cream and decadent chocolate shell. Definitely want to come back! Great value, service and quality of food. 5/5.

This is going to be a longgggggg one :…read more I called and asked if a reservation was needed and I was told NO . I also explained it was my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted everything to go smooth . We go in and at first we were going to sit outside since they have a beautiful back space with a koi fish pond and real nice decor . But there were mosquitoes, so we decided to sit inside . So once inside I asked to sit at a table with 4 chairs even tho there were only 2 of us and I was told NO ( he than Goes on to explain that they don't have anymore space etc) . Just keep in mind the room was pretty big and more than half of the tables were EMPTY . And let me highlight THEY STAYED EMPTY FOR THE ENTIRE 2 hours we were there . Also I ordered the grilled scallops and was told it came with 3 sides . However once my boyfriend placed his order ( just 2 appetizers I was then told that my dinner only came with 1 side instead of 3 ). Honestly that makes no sense to me , you either get 3 sides or you don't . You mean to tell me that unless the other person orders a whole dinner I can't have the sides I need ? That's ridiculous because I would have paid for them individually, however I wasn't even given that choice , since I only ordered one dinner I could only have one side . ( I would have paid for the extra sides but then again I wasn't given that option) = UNACCEPTABLE. So I can't sit at a table that has been empty and remained empty the entire time I was there . And I can't have extra sides even if I pay for them . Makes no sense to me . The food was well seasoned , however I felt like it absolutely lacked presentation . It's like they just threw the stuff in your plate and that was it :( The place is beautiful , specially the outdoor seating . Aside from all the bugs ( that's not really their fault ) . But the fact I was denied a table in an entire room that basically had NO ONE IN IT for the whole time I was there and the fact I couldn't even order what I wanted ( even if I paid for side dishes ) because I didn't order two dinners is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!! Such a shame because I would have gone back for the food even tho there wasn't any presentation . But the service is honestly by far the worst service I ever had at a place in a long time . So sad , disappointing and it makes no sense . Go to other places in town , this is really not worth your time , service is really BAD !!!

Our food was delivered a half hour later but the delivery person was very nice and found our apartment quickly and dropped the food off at the door which was great. We tried the snapper and vegan platter ($30). The snapper was huge ($30)! Enough to share with another person. Was on a huge tray of rice. The flavor was good but part of the fish was overcooked and dry and tasted a little fishy. The rice was excellent. I enjoyed the vegan platter, the cauliflower was standout. I also liked the falafel, which had a good consistency, flavor and wasn't too dry. Their garlic sauce is good too, and we ordered extra. Our friend's chicken and meat shawarma platters looked really good (~$17 each). They also got the mint lemonade ($7) which they say is really good. It looked super green and healthy, and like a slushie. They make the pita there and the pita was warm still and had a flavor! Didn't taste just bland and doughy. It tasted a bit buttery and kind of like pizza dough. Only $1 extra for pita and they gave us a bunch. This place definitely gives big portions for a good price. I would try some other food again!

If a…read moregeographical region needs to be associated with it then it should be a called mix of Aegean / Anatolian, as I am originally from that part of the World. Unfortunately, there is something very common in these type of Turkish restaurants and I am surprised not many people mention this. Most of the time the dishes, particularly the mezes are way too salty. The amount of salt they use is too much that it overwhelms the expected flavor of the dish and personally makes my tongue feel swollen. I am not sure if they do this partially on purpose to extend the shelf time as almost all cold mezes are prepared beforehand and not to order. They might be trying to keep the dishes from spoiling for 3 days or so. In any case and whatever the reason is it ruins the flavors for me. I'll try this place one more time then re-review with an update in the coming weeks.

The…read moreenvironment was cozy and right by the water, the view was absolutely spectacular and you could see NJ from where I was sitting. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the manager of the establishment and he was very inviting (Peter). We started off with some drinks, I had the dirty martini, my aunt had a Lychee martini, and my uncle a red sangria. When we were seated we started with Thai Calamari, it was so tender and just the right amount of crisp with a flavorful sauce that wasn't overtly sweet. Next I had the beef shank with risotto and the Demi glaze to accompany this fall off the bone lamb was divine. The risotto was creamy and the perfect texture to accompany the meat. My aunt had the lobster stuffed crab with risotto (her favorite), my uncle had the chicken with mash, a classic. Overall the food, the service, the view, and the overall ambiance is definitely a winner. I would recommend this place as a good spot to come with friends, a date, or even a solo dine.

They also have valet which I would assume parks your car on the street as well. The place itself is cute, but it's small. The party I attended was in the interior of the location (there was another party happening outside). What I didn't like about the interior was that if anyone was dining in there for lunch/dinner, they had to walk through our party room in order to get to their seats. The staff also had to go through our room to get food/drinks to the other diners. There is also only one restroom for women, which there was always a line for. In regard to the food, the appetizers brought out were the crab and strawberry salad, the Asian ribs, and the octopus salad. This was all very good. For the entree I chose the rib eye. It was really good as well, I just wish there had been a little more seasoning, and also I requested medium but it came out more on the well side. For dessert we had the brownies with ice cream, and the Nutella wontons. This was delicious! Overall, I'd recommended this place for a small party or private dinner. But don't expect privacy.

A little piece of Greek heaven right in Bayonne, NJ. The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. The soups are fresh and very tasty. I have one almost every day. Whatever I select, it is well prepared and delicious. I tried the spinach pie more than once and ordered a tray to bring to a family gathering. What a treat!

The pork gyro over at Tros in Hoboken is my favorite specific meat and Efi's Gyro in JC is probably my sauce favorite.

The service is fine. As some of you know I'm not shy about mentioning surly service. No, they're not going to say "How was your day as a software-as-a-service consultant? That hat really accentuates your cheekbones." And for the price complainers, I'm curious where your lower-cost options are found if they aren't dollar pizza. I'm in no position to agree or disagree with the allegation that the fries are subpar as I haven't ordered fries in my nearly three decades of Ibby's awareness so I will suggest skipping them in favor of the known quantities.
