The Greek salad which i was excited to try was plated nicely in a tower shape, tomato's , cucumbers and feta was crumbled on top. It has plenty of calamata olives, which i thought was generous . Maybe too much , I was missing anchovies and didn't bother to ask about it. The server asked me what kind of dressing do i want ? Greek of course i said. So they gave me oil and vinegar and it was spiced with the right herbs , I don't think you need to ask what dressing goes on a Greek salad , seemed obvious to me. I ate half of the salad , packed the rest . I kindly wanted to bring to the attention. To the chef that there were wayyyy too many chopped red onions . I showed her , who will eat chunks of red onion - it was a miss on the chef - otherwise it was a good salad- I threw out the excess of onions . . . Just a few sliced red onions is fine. The challenges of eating out. I had a feeling who ever chopped the onions was inexperienced . Things should be uniform and light. Some retraining is required. They accommodated my interest of sports channels , tennis especially . I still feel I need to micromanage my dishes out . I will return with my special requests of course .

We came here last minute on Saturday night as we were in town for an event and needed to grab…read moredinner beforehand. I was in the mood for Italian food, so we decided to give this place a shot. I called ahead to check availability, and I'm glad I did! We didn't have a reservation, but thankfully the manager let us know that they'd have a table ready for us around 7:20pm (it was roughly 7pm when I called). My husband and I were just down the street, so we decided to go ahead and make our way there. Once we got seated, we were quickly greeted by our server, Mike. He was very attentive and friendly! We later learned that it was his second day on the job, which we found shocking as he did such a great job! As for the food... I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana (my favorite Italian dish) and my husband ordered the Risotto Primavera. The Eggplant Parmigiana was not crispy at all, which was super disappointing! It had a great flavor, but I prefer a crispy texture so this didn't really hit the spot for me. It came with linguini noodles with tomato sauce, which was very bland. Whatever sauce they used did not have a great taste to it. As for the Risotto Primavera...it had a RICH flavor to it. My husband said "it's good, but not good enough to order again". I, on the other hand, didn't like it as I thought it was just too rich in taste. The food wasn't the best, but I'm giving them 4 stars because the overall service was fantastic! Everyone was so attentive, helpful and friendly, from the host to our server to the manager. It's rare these days to find a team where everyone is pitching in and happily doing so!

I ordered the chicken and it was extremely delicious. It was seasoned and grilled very well along with a side salad that was fresh with different greens. I had also ordered the Pinot Grigio they had. Overall, very nice dinner. And the menu had a list of so many different options for you to choose from pastas to entrées and more. Service was fast and extremely polite. No complaints there!

Our party showed up mid-afternoon on a Thursday, and the place was quiet, given the time. We were…read moreseated very quickly, and a server took our drink order while we perused the menu. I was looking for a bit of variety, so we started with a cheese steak flat bread. It was really tasty, but it did seem a bit under-cooked. It would have been great with a bit more crunch on it, as it was a bit floppy. When our entrees came, my steak was cooked to perfection. It was a nice cut of filet, and wonderfully medium-rare. The sauce was just thick enough, and had a great flavor for the steak and potatoes. The asparagus was cooked well too! No complaints at all.

TLDR: friendly staff but underwhelming flavors…read more The team at La Cocina De Maria are incredibly friendly and attentive. They're knowledgeable about the many items on the menu and kept our waters and chips topped up throughout the meal. The actual food wasn't as great. I tried some barbacoa street tacos and some fried fish tacos. Everything was fresh and well cooked but lacking in flavor - each dish could be seasoned a bit more. I'm hopeful for the restaurant, and I may try it again if they try new recipes or something different to season their food.

I do feel everything would have benefitted from salt, and I wish that as a dine-in customer my burrito had not come wrapped in to-go paper. To give you a sense of the ambiance: the Spanish-speaking cashier/cook was reading a book when I walked in, and the television on the wall was blaring a Spanish-language TV show. I was one of only two customers when I went for a Saturday lunch around 1p. The other customer was also conversing in Spanish with the front of house. I appreciated that a bottled green habanero sauce was at my table, along with Cholula. It helps add to the authenticity. All that said, maybe don't come here for the tex-mex. If I came back I'd try one of the five different kinds of tacos they offered.

This is tough to do with young kids, but it's the perfect date night activity when we have a sitter. The Korean BBQ spread is massive. I can't even explain how many sides it comes with. Everything from soups to pickled veggies to tofu. But of course, the real star of the show is the meat which is so tender and perfectly flavored. They throw veggies on the grill like pineapples and onions and this is the perfect accompaniment. Plus of course lots of sauces to dip. Bring your favorite bottle to drink and a huge appetite. You will not be disappointed.

We had the Oysters on the Half Shell, Nueske's Cherrywood Smoked Bacon w/Korean BBQ, Lobster Bisque, Au Gratin Potatoes, Lamb Chops, & Twin Lobster Tails (Special). We drank the Sangria & the Double Oaked & Rye Manhattan. It is worth noting that the complimentary bread was very good, in particular the onion bread, which we asked for more of on the side. Everything was excellent over all, definitely some weak spots (see the grades), but a wonderful experience overall.

The Capital Grille (Parsippany, NJ) - A Deficit-Healing, High-End Haven…read more After a brutal afternoon at the Wind Creek Casino tables in Bethlehem where the cards refused to cooperate, my girlfriend and I fled east, ditching our original steakhouse reservations for a local gamble: The Capital Grille in Parsippany. Arriving around 5:00 PM, I was acutely aware that my attire screamed "gambling casualty" rather than "fine dining enthusiast." Mercifully, the staff showed elite restraint, ignoring my casual wardrobe with absolute grace. The hostess greeted us warmly, guiding us into an upscale, immaculate dining room. Looking around, you could see the floor staff moving with the quiet, focused intensity of an orchestra tuning up for the Saturday night rush. Our server, Carl, was an absolute professional. He navigated the menu with the kind of photographic memory that makes you wonder if he moonlights as a memory champion. We kicked off with appetizers: a rich, comforting clam chowder for her and the glazed thick-cut bacon for me. Both were exceptional. For the main event, I ordered the 22oz bone-in ribeye with porcini rub. It was prepared to absolute perfection, hitting that elusive, beautifully seared sweet spot right between rare and medium-rare (a precise temperature the culinary world calls Pittsburgh rare, or simply a perfect Kona sear). It easily tracks as one of the top three steaks I have ever had in the area. Because my girlfriend doesn't eat meat, she pivoted to a spread of sides, ordering the creamed spinach and the Sam's mashed potatoes (a decadent potato casserole). While the presentation was flawless, the flavor profiles didn't quite sweep her off her feet--a minor blemish on an otherwise stellar culinary run. The ambiance is fantastic, though you might want to pack a light jacket, as the indoor climate control was set to "meat locker. Yes, the bill requires deep pockets, but fine dining is a realm where you truly get what you pay for. The house always wins at the casino, but The Capital Grille felt like a massive victory. We will absolutely be back.

Still…read moresame atmosphere, Michelle the waitress was an absolute treasure, bartenders staff all helpful and friendly, but MY GOD the food was for the most part AWFUL! The French onion soup was 100% delicious, although the soup itself was more on the lukewarm side rather than piping hot underneath the perfectly melted cheese. It is next where everything goes south. The "Delmonico" their long standing famous steak was hands down the worst cuts of meat in history. At least 8 ounces of waisted fat & grizzle to a tough flavorless piece of meat. The 'Famous" Arthurs potatoes tasted like they were sitting on a flat frill all day soaked in grease inedible. The real killer was the "FRENCH DIP" I have no words to describe the absolute disaster this sandwich was. Dry, chewy overcooked leftover roast beef from who knows where? It tasted like meat from a Swanson TV Dinner. The Au Jus was brown thin tasteless liquid. The side of coleslaw was so small it was not worth mentioning. Not quite sure what is going on here, still a full house and captive audience, but 13 years later, this is my last visit here.
