Bistro d'Azur in South Orange was the perfect place for my wife and me to host our baby shower --…read morewe truly had a spectacular time from start to finish. The decor was creative, beautiful, and thoughtfully done, making the whole space feel special and celebratory without being over-the-top. The service was outstanding throughout the event: attentive, friendly, and seamless, which let us actually relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. A huge shoutout to our point of contact, Isabelle -- she was incredibly organized and responsive, and made planning everything feel easy. If you're looking for a venue that delivers both atmosphere and top-tier hospitality, Bistro d'Azur is a fantastic choice. Food was incredible!

What a hidden gem!! I've had my eyes on this place for a while, and finally we made it. We chose…read moreto celebrate a very special occasion here and could not have been happier with our choice. Though we had booked well in advance, we had a sudden and unavoidable change of plans. They kindly accommodated our change, and made our very special dinner feel extra, in the best way possible. The space is beautiful, the food is délicieux! Be mindful of prix-fixe menus and the bonus of BYOB. If you have a special occasion, or not, give this place a try. C'est un régal!

I came to Giorgio's for a friend's surprise birthday party. The private room downstairs was…read moredecorated immaculately. There was plenty of room for dining, a bar, a photo booth, and a DJ station. The servers were more than accommodating all night. The garlic shrimp, chicken wings with hot sauce, and filet mignon and gorgonzola topped on crostini were delicious. The sicilian salad was flavorful, and the salmon capri was tender and nicely portioned.

I met fellow Board Members of Empowered Community for a working dinner at Giorgio's Restaurante. We…read moremet early on a Sunday evening at 4:00 pm and were the first customers to arrive that night. I arrived first and was very warmly greeted by Michael, who immediately made me feel welcome. The rest of our party arrived within five minutes, and while waiting we had a very pleasant conversation. Michael ended up serving us as well, and his attentiveness truly elevated the entire experience. We were seated in a large dining room down a few steps, a space typically used for large parties and events. Since it was the Sunday between Christmas and New Year's, the room was set with four-top tables. We were able to choose our table, which offered a great view of South Orange--something that most tables in this beautifully designed restaurant seem to enjoy. The restaurant is BYOB, and one member of our party brought a bottle of red wine. Giorgio's provided attractive, proper wine glasses, which was a nice touch. For appetizers, we shared the Caprese and Calamari Fritti--both excellent. I ordered one of the specials: bone-in pork chops topped with blue cheese over mushroom risotto. Simply outstanding. Others in our party ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with penne vodka sauce and the mushroom ravioli, and they enjoyed their meals just as much as I did. After dinner, two of us had cappuccinos and one had regular coffee. I ordered the chocolate mousse cake, another guest chose the cheesecake, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed dessert and coffee. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable evening in a wonderful restaurant with a great location, inviting atmosphere, outstanding service, and excellent food. By the time we left, the restaurant had filled up with what appeared to be many locals and repeat customers--always a great sign.

We ordered a pizza delivery Saturday night. We've had pizza from them before. The delivery was…read morequick and friendly. The pizza was horrible, truly inedible. There was zero outer crust so lifting a slice was an unpleasant experience. It was weirdly shaped and the cheese and other toppings were just piled on and held in place by a thick layer of strangely viscous grease. This might have been made by a rookie but there should have been a grownup who cares supervising. Never again.

Oh man, we were so excited to have this place open up. Unfortunately it's been slowly going…read moredownhill since it's opening, which is the opposite of what you would hope. My second time there, they didn't have any wine glasses despite being BYOB. Fine, but ever since then, no wine glasses. Why not make it a place where people can sit and relax? This last time was probably my last. It was FREEZING. They did apologize, which was appreciated, but the food was freezing cold. The halloumi tasted far too sour, almost like it had gone past its expiration. There is also no care for the place as it was completely empty beside us, yet there were all these food scraps on the floor. Really disappointing and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. I hope it does better.

I ordered a small portion of chicken bites, and it turned out to be a great surprise. The outside…read morewas coated with a layer of chili powder that smelled incredibly fragrant. Once you bite into it, the chicken isn't mushy at all -- you can actually see the fibers, and it's very juicy and tender. The seasoning is well done and not overly salty. I went with their house sauce, which has a slightly pickled chili vibe -- mildly sour, a bit spicy, and with a unique aroma that's hard to describe but really enjoyable. The fried chicken burger was also impressive -- definitely shows some skill in execution. One unexpected highlight was the cornbread. I usually don't enjoy cinnamon-flavored desserts, but this one grew on me quickly. The texture was excellent, and it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Service was great -- the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Overall, a small spot but a really enjoyable visit. Would come back.

I recently dined in and outside of it being a bit cold for my liking, I enjoyed the experience. The staff is prepared for rushes and worked well through our Wednesday night visit. Which lended to an understanding of how much local MAPSO leans on this place. It was packed on a Wednesday night. All of that to say - my wife considers this one of the best chicken sandwiches she's ever had in her lifetime. I second, the salmon sando is my order and it's always fresh and perfectly cooked. Everything is is absolutely delicious. Never leave without a kale salad and a adobo.

The meat is perfect and I get that they wanna keep the natural flavors of the meats which is great but they just need a literal tinsy bit of salt. Service is nice but I can't speak for ambiance due to not dining in. For some reason I don't get full off these tacos like when I go to Los tacos in New York. (Try Los tacos!!) Okay the tip review was from 2025 I have been here about 7 times. The tacos taste a bit better but them tortillas man! They need better tortillas the texture of meat is good and you want your food to stay together while you eat it.

This time, I stopped in on a Friday night to check out the upstairs. The drinks were a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious and strong without skimping. The daiquiri and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlights of the night. The food was just okay. The garlic shrimp were pretty good, but the rice lacked flavor and the refried beans were barely a tablespoon spread across the plate. We also had the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which was just alright -- the shrimp were a little tough. Service was great. The waiter was friendly and attentive and moved fast! Overall, it's a fun vibe and a great spot to hang out and catch up over drinks, but I'd come more for the bar than the food. There's a municipal parking lot a short walk from the main entrance.

I shared the mini chicken chimi and wings which were flavorful and tasty. I felt the portions were decent to fill us up for dinner. They even had live music in the bar area on Wednesday nights! The vibes are definitely of an old school Mexican restaurant and a bit dark inside. Service is always friendly!
