A little less than a year ago we visited P.F. Seafood Market & Restaurant in West Caldwell and it…read morewas wonderful. Sadly, our most recent visit was very much the opposite. When we arrived (around 7pm) there was only one occupied table in the restaurant. The room was cold and drafty, as if they were trying to save money on the heating. We had to change tables twice trying to avoid the chill which was forcing my mother to keep her winter coat on. On our first visit, the breadbasket included some delicious garlic bread. That was gone this time. Previously, the staff immediately set out an ice bucket and glasses when they saw our bottle of white wine. This time we had to ask for both, twice. Throughout the meal, we watched our waiter standing in the doorway to the kitchen engrossed in whatever he was doing with his cell phone. Given that the restaurant was virtually empty, the fact that we couldn't get his attention when we started to have issues was frustrating. I chose the Calamari Chino again as an appetizer. I enjoyed it so much on our first visit that it was the one thing I knew I wanted again. Unfortunately, I ended up sending it back. Although it looked like the same dish at first glance, the crispy and tender calamari I loved the first time was now soggy and rubbery. My mother again went with the Grilled Norwegian Salmon, which she enjoyed. My father had the Paccheri & Shrimp alla Vodka, which is described on the menu as sautéed wild shrimp, over paccheri pasta with a creamy vodka sauce, oyster mushrooms, & green peas. He wasn't a fan of this. It seemed to be missing both the oyster mushrooms, & the green peas. He also described it as being "goopy" and thought it tasted artificially thickened in some way. I ordered the New Coconut Jumbo Shrimp, which is served with grilled asparagus, white rice, in an orange marmalade sauce. I had high hopes for this since coconut shrimp is a favorite of mine. The presentation was quite nice, but the shrimp was overcooked, and the coconut coating was nearly burnt. I believe it had been left in the deep fryer too long. Frankly, if I had not sent back the calamari I would have sent this back as well. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant still looks nice, but it seems like they're just going through the motions now. I don't see us returning.

This review is for Valentine's Day ONLY. We went to this restaurant a few weeks ago and had a…read morewonderful experience - food was amazing, service was fantastic. It's pricey, but the food was delicious and fresh. We decided to come back for Valentine's Day. The restaurant has 2 floors. For V-Day we were seated upstairs. I'm going to guess there 15-20 tables upstairs? ONE WAITER and ONE busboy. They were working their butts off, but really??? We waited so long that I finally flagged the busboy down to get water nevermind get our order taken or even get bread. I won't drone on about the wait but suffice it to say our food was not hot when we finally got it and we skipped dessert because we did not want to be there another hour. We will probably return but definitely not on a holiday!

And, considering the quality, the value is pretty decent as well. A few recommendations. Prime rib, available only on Monday is outstanding. NY Strips and Rib Eye, are always a solid choice. The Steak Sandwich is absolutely incredible, trust me. Plus, their Pork Chop is amazing when its available. My only negative is that the dress code has become lax over time. I'm not a fancy guy. But for the first several years there was an upscale vibe and guests dressed appropriately which made the experience feel premium. Now it isn't all that uncommon to see guests wearing worn out tee shirts, sweat shirts, flip flops, cutoffs, etc. Nothing crazy, but a collard shirt and no flip flop code would be a fair. With all that said, I love this place and I think you will as well. Give it a try.

She knows how much i love food and how sacred food is too me . As a chef i just eat anything and everything. The most beautiful bone marrow comes to our table so perfectly cooked and plated it was a master piece. Stuffed dates oh my god and the rest of the food was exquisite.

Every dish that came out were top notch The table service i cant even thank the staff in front of the house enough for their professional curious clean cut service. Such well trained table service such amazing ambassadors representing the kitchen and restaurant with such pride and proudness of the place of employment . The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and well taken care and clean. You can tell the staff are very proud of the establishment just on how the place was so meticulously clean. This place is a five star definitely in my opinion very well earned Such well mannered and such service should never be unnoticed I hope the owners recognize this staff back and front of the house are excellent. To impress me to this level i assure you i look at everything notice everything so i can tell you this place is my top three favorite . I had such a beautiful time today. Thank you all for making my visit a one of a life time great My chef hat off to all of you my respects Sincerely yours truly Chef P Ramos

We came here to celebrate my husband's 52nd birthday, and the experience did not disappoint. I had called ahead and was pleased that they allowed me to bring a custom cake. I also appreciated the simple yet elegant touches, like the beautifully folded table napkins and a selection of champagne options (bonus points!) Starting off, the grilled octopus with capers, onions, and red peppers was the best I've ever had--simply amazing. It was light, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. This is an absolute must-order appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the Diver scallops with grilled asparagus risotto, crab meat, and crispy prosciutto. It was very good--rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My husband chose the Halibut with grilled asparagus and butternut squash risotto, and he enjoyed every bite as well. To top off the evening, the staff came out to sing happy birthday, which added another nice touch to the night. The service, ambiance, and food all came together to create an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend Barka for anyone looking for excellent seafood, elegant ambiance, and attentive service.

They notice when new guests arrive and make everyone feel welcome. The thin crust pizza is consistently excellent and never disappoints. However, the kitchen's execution on other dishes can be hit-or-miss. We've had the penne vodka range from outstanding--rich and perfectly seasoned--to disappointing with a bland, watery sauce. The salads are generally reliable and well-prepared. If the kitchen could match the bar staff's consistency, this would easily be a five-star establishment. The outstanding service and great pizza keep us coming back, but we're hoping for more reliability across the full menu.

If you enjoy the unique spices of Pakistani cuisine, you are going to love Maza. I came here with…read moremy son last week and was pleasantly surprised with our meals. The restaurant has a simple decor but enough special touches to set a Pakistani vibe. They have both booth and table seating. The restaurant is very clean. There is but one attendant that fills the roll of both waiter and cashier. After ordering we were presented with complimentary garlic naan and a green salad with yogurt. My son ordered the "Mixed Platter" ($17) which was huge and ended with a take-out box and a meal later in the week. The platter consisted of of 2 lamb kabobs, 2 chicken kabobs and the best biryani rice I ever tasted. I find their spices intoxicating. I ordered the "Goat Achari" ($16). The goat was cooked with spices and additionally flavored with pickles. The goat meat was marinated and fell of the bone. I could have eaten 2 bowls. The chai tea was anything but sweet and came with sugar for people like me that like their tea a bit sweet. The restaurant has street parking as well as on-site parking.
