The ceviche was good overall, fresh and enjoyable, but a few bites were noticeably too salty. The corn was a nice touch and added some balance to the dish. The fried rice was decent but leaned a little bland and could've used more spice or depth to really stand out. Overall, I'd come back and try other dishes. There's enough here to make it worth another visit.

Breakfast food should be easy to make and a delight to eat, and I appreciate the consistency across both of our visits. A true pancake house, they let you substitute home fries for pancakes and let me tell you, that is the right choice! Fluffy, buttery goodness. Eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries... nothing fancy, but all very easy to mess up. We enjoyed every bite. We're also looking forward to coming back for dinner, it is, after all, also a steakhouse! Ample parking, festive for the season, cozy vibes, friendly staff, and good food. What more do you need? I also love their motto printed on the menus and staff shirts: "You deserve butter."

The steak was a perfect medium well strip. It cut through like butter. I loved the texture. The mashed potatoes were so tasty and plentiful; it was topped with two baked home-made potato chips. The broccoli had minced garlic, which is not mentioned in the menu but, which transformed it from regular steamed broccoli to a tasty side. I will definitely be used that in my future recipes. I can't wait to return to this hotel and to this restaurant. I'm sure you can come have a bite even if you aren't staying at their equally as wonderful Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel.

For dinner my son got the rib eye cheese steak sandwich with no onions and peppers. He gave me a thumbs up. The bread was nice and soft. I only know this because I moved it to take a picture. I got the half Chicken with rice and beans. Skin on the chicken was crispy and the chicken was juicy. Came with a side of green sauce to dip. Price was very affordable. I hope they get a good jump start and keep the quality right where it is because this has a ton of potential. You can dine in as well if you wanted to.

The arch-roofed dining room is absolutely charming, with whimsical colorful chandeliers and a warmth that pulls you right in. There's also a gorgeous globe-lit back patio that looks like it's seen some unforgettable evenings. BYOB at a restaurant this good? Yes. Take advantage of it. The menu is fixed-price, four courses with three options each -- simple, elegant, and unpretentious. Cash discount in March is a nice bonus too. Now the food -- where do I start. The **Roasted Candied Beets Carpaccio** was visually stunning and tasted even better. Blood Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette, Burrata, Prosciutto -- every flavor had its own moment. The **Crab Cake** was loaded with fresh, quality crab -- the chive oil pairing was spot on. But the showstopper? **Venison Wellington.** Tender, perfectly seasoned, and not something you see on many menus. I would order it again without hesitation. Finished with a peanut butter, chocolate and banana dessert paired with an espresso -- an absolutely perfect ending. The staff was warm, attentive, and somehow never made you feel rushed or hovered over. That's a gift. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Highly recommend -- just bring your favorite bottle and your appetite.

The outdoor garden patio is absolutely beautiful, filled with flowers, lush greenery, and tranquil water fountains that create an enchanting atmosphere. It's also BYOB, which is a nice touch. The menu changes seasonally and offers a prix fixe option: two savory courses plus dessert for $95, or three savory courses plus dessert for $125. The staff was exceptional, polite, attentive, and very accommodating throughout our meal. A few things to keep in mind if you choose to dine outdoors: since you're eating in a garden, you may encounter a few ants or mosquitoes. It wasn't overwhelming, but it's something to expect. Also, the portion sizes are on the smaller side. As for the food, I thought it was good, but I didn't love it, especially considering the price. We ordered the crab cake, burger, crème brûlée, and venison. The crab cake and crème brûlée were both beautifully presented and delicious. However, the burger was undercooked, and my date found the venison to be quite dry. Overall, this is a wonderful spot for the ambiance and experience. The setting is romantic, peaceful, and unlike many other restaurants. While I personally didn't find the food memorable enough to justify the cost, I'd still recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful evening in a truly magical garden setting.

This place is decorated from head to toe for Christmas, if not for the food just stop by to look at the interior. The windows have huge displays of Santa's and reindeer and the bar area is filled with nutcrackers. It really is a beautiful sight. Unfortunately, most of the 3 stars I'm giving them is because of their awesome decorations. The food was very lacking for me. My friend and I stopped in for breakfast because the place we originally had in mind was closed on Mondays. We were seated right away and I have to say they had some pretty great breakfast specials. The prices are incredibly reasonable. She got an omelette and rye toast. The omelette was fantastic but the home fries tasted like pork to me and weren't cooked enough. They also didn't have much flavor at all. I decided to try the stuffed French toast. It wasn't stuffed at all, rather blotted with a tiny spot of sweetened cream cheese in between what looked like regular toast. The strawberries were frozen so they arrived mushy on the plate and the nuts it was served with were stale and from a can. I definitely wouldn't suggest trying the French toast, stick to pancakes or waffles. There's tons of parking, it's located right next to a Walgreens. During the holidays I'd say definitely stop in to check out the Christmas decorations but it's not a place I'd go back to just for the food.

They got everything from your traditionally Italian cold cut sammich to the Hoboken (roast beef, mutz and gravy). Service was pretty swift. We got 3 sandwiches. My wife and myself got a chicken based sandwich and the kid got a meatball parm. If I didn't see it for myself, I would've never known, but it threw me back. They warm the chicken up in a microwave. I'm not sure why when the meatballs they brought in the back to the ovens to make my son's sandwich. I just found that very odd. I got the chicken cutlet, with provolone and broccoli rabe. Sandwich was excellent. I was really in the mood for crunchy semolina bread, but this was still very good. My son loved the meatball sammich. So all in all, a very solid spot.
