Montville, NJ - a packed restaurant full of locals at dinner hour is always a promising sign, and…read morewe rolled in on a Thursday evening around 7 to find ourselves miraculously sliding into the last two parking spots AND the only open table, woot! [Blowing on my nails.] The menu is a mix of American comfort food and gastropub classics, but with flair, and has a bit of everything to satisfy different palates. Our eyes were probably bigger than our stomachs as we ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 cocktails, and it was an enormous amount of food. The portions are definitely what you'd call hearty, and everything was very tasty. Thursdays are all day happy hour so we picked the fried calamari appetizer at the HH price (still a full and generous plate and didn't seem like a downsized version) which were tender and well-battered, as well as the hot honey wings which were meaty and substantial. The short rib parpadelle with housemade pasta and a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned hanger steak with truffle fries completed our satisfying and belly-stuffing meal. The cocktails are serious as well - the presence of a drink with egg white is my personal litmus test for a bar that knows what it's doing, so the Thyme to Bloom special had my name on it. I'm salivating just looking at photos of dishes I didn't order, and am already plotting my return!

Celebrated a birthday here. Atmosphere was great , our waitress Tatianna, was amazing & drinks…read morewere perfect. The food however, not so much. I only photographed some of what we ordered but there were 10 meals, total, ordered at our table, so, a variety of tastes. Unfortunately there wasn't any consistency when it came to flavor. The Thai chilli wings must have been seasoned with old bay because that was pretty much all you tasted. The filet mignon while nice & tender, was slightly over seasoned (with salt). The lobster mac had a good amount of lobster throughout it. The Chimichurri skirt steak, though meant to be medium well, was overcooked & over seasoned (with salt). So much so it had to be sent back due to not being edible. The kitchen did replace it & there was less salt but still overcooked. The snow crab boil was ok although it could have used more old bay. The zuppa de pesce, in a garlic butter sauce as well as the kids meals were all decent. The best meal on the table was the chicken bacon ranch pizza: dough was perfect.

I was coming home from the the DMV in Randolph when I spotted Mr. Crabby. It is located on Route !0…read morein Randolph, New Jersey on the shoulder of the East bound lane. I have never visited this restaurant before and it was 4pm a little past my dinner time. The interior is spacious with functional tables spread around and a bar area. Not quite a sports bar vibe and not quite a formal restaurant but definitely a nautical theme. After being seated I was surprised to find out that during Happy Hour they serve drafts of Yuengling beer for $3. Margaritas and Mojitos ($7) tempted me as well. After the hassle at the DMV, I went for my REAL LICENSE, I could really use a $3 Yuengling draft. After chatting with the server I decided on the "Fish Tacos" ($16). The slaw was terrific along with the Pico Del Gallo, avocado and pepper jack cheese. In fact, the tacos were so good that it spurred another draft. While eating my tacos I saw a lobster roll come out of the kitchen and it looked really good. Regrets I had a few but to few to mention.

This is my second review. First one wasn't good and unfortunately this one isn't much better…read more My husband stopped by looking for whole fish, which they happily had but it was larger than he wanted so he opted to buy me lunch since I work nearby. The issue is that the sandwiches sound delicious on the menu but the reality doesn't live up to my expectations. My husband order some spicy Mexican inspired fried catfish sandwich for himself and a fried scallop sandwich for me. The sandwiches presented well but both lacked flavor, salt & seasoning in general. Even the soups; one was supposed to be red lentils but looked mostly yellow lentil and again desperately needed salt for one and would have been improved with additional seasonings. Whoever made the manhattan clam chowder got the recipe correct. It was the only thing that was tasty without needing alteration. The owner is nice and after my first poor review offered to make me a replacement but I didn't take him up on the offer. If they only get it right while someone is watching over their shoulder, what's the point. It is NOT a cheap lunch so to be disappointed is a real bummer. Better to stick with the raw seafood items or some prepackaged items (hummus & great flatbreads).

Ordered there tonight ( we are locals!) Had beer at Sunkin…read moresilo, placed order there Never got call or text that it was ready had to go to check .

Not at all like the this frozen patties diners and chain restaurants serve. Fries may have been fresh cut. My wife had a shrimp dish. Really nicely done. Well balanced flavors, good portions so you don't feel cheated for the price. In addition to the food, some other things really stood out. The owner greeted us at the door, and came multiple times to our table to see how everything was. The place is clean, including the bathrooms. You can tell the owner pays attention to details, and takes pride in his restaurant, its food and service. This is the kind of place where you really root for the owner, and hope he does well. Definitely worth traveling to try it out. Highly recommend it.

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.

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!

Stopped in for lunch at Pub 199 and once again had a great meal…read more Started with a bowl of lobster bisque, followed by a porterhouse steak cooked medium rare that we split. The meal came with a baked potato, steamed vegetables, and two dozen steamed clams, all washed down with a cold bottle of Briar's root beer. Pub 199 feels like walking into a natural history museum inside a hunting lodge, surrounded by taxidermy and rustic decor. The service is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the prices remain very reasonable. If you enjoy classic New Jersey spots with character and reliable food, this is one worth visiting. If you've been here, feel free to share your experience or leave a review.

Missed getting reservation today at a place we never been to so we resorted back to what we loved…read more I figure since everyone was recommending steakhouses with outrageous prices when we knew Pub 199 had the best steaks and they don't need to break the bank. Tonight I ordered the 2 doz calms (always a must) and the steak and lobster tail. It was AMAZING as always. My normal order is the whole lobster but now that they offer 2 tails I always will get that. I'm excited to try the lobster bisque which I didn't try tonight. My only complaint tonight is the waitress came over with a dish of fries for my husband who ordered the baked potato (omg so good also order the baked potato) and apologized for selling out of the potatoes. 5 Minutes later we see the table next to us get their baked potato's with their dishes. My husband was so mad. Don't lie to people when we love your food. Fries could be better. (We left them). And their vegetables are always soggy and not worth eating. Back to the positive the seafood and steaks are always worth looking over the sides. Not the baked potato, keep doing what you're doing with them. Except stop lying to the customers.
