    There is a check-in Yelp offer for 20% off but they won't honor it. I asked if it can be used and told by the waitress she will ask. After 10 mins I left my table and asked at the counter. Clearly it says to check in and like them on Yelp for 20% off and after seeing their prices for pasta and sausage "18.00" and I asked for 4.50 worth of broccoli and also told, "I don't know what you will be charged"... I don't know what my bill is... but I asked for broccoli and broccoli rabe in my pasta. :/ well this our first time here and probably the last. We got 6 garlic knots and iceberg salad. The ambiance is loud too.

    Here again, 1st time since my friend passed. Place looks clean, well maintained. Service good. I ordered the usual for here, cheesesteak with mushrooms and hot peppers. Excellent. They even toast the roll.

    This is one great place. My favorite to come to when I come to NJ (I live in California). Staff is nice but so so so great. You must come by here when in town. Everything is good.

    Palumbos is a good pizza place to take out or eat at. The service is pretty well here. The ambiance is clean and pleasant.

Came with my wife and son and sat 3 across right at the bar. Our friendly bartender/server, Priya promptly took our drink order and we decided to start off with a pitcher of Sangria and some Oyster Shooters, that came with vodka, fresh Canadian oysters, lemon and hot sauce, everything tasted amazing. We then proceeded to order some apps, a dozen more of the Canadian oysters as well as a Shrimp Cocktail. The oysters were so fresh and delicious and the shrimps were big and tasty. For our main courses, my wife ordered a Fried Combo platter of Cod and Scallops, mu son ordered the Fried Cod Sandwich and I ordered a Fried Combo platter with Fried Clams and Fried Flounder. Everything was so delicious, all the fish was fried perfectly and so tender and flaky, the scallops, not only were they fried perfectly and delicious, they were plentiful, at least 10 of them in my wife's platter and the fried clams were so good, so tender, I loved them. While we were eating I noticed our bartender had a tee shirt that said Keyport Fishery on the back, so I asked if they owned this spot as well, she said yes. Well that explained why everything was just so good, in fact I might have enjoyed the fish here even more. What a great spot this is, even the prices are reasonable. We will be coming here a lot, if I lived closer I'd come every day, LOL.

Staff were beyond friendly. Cons -- THE FOOD!! We had pork belly and duck confit appetizer. Pork belly was drenched in sauce and overcooked. Duck dish was good but was a spread and served with such a small amount of bread. Main courses -- presentation was terrible -- i ordered NY Strip with french fries and veggies. Hubby ordered jambalaya -- both dishes were served luke warm and looked as though they had been sitting. French fries were all tiny pieces as if they were at the bottom of the fryer. The steak was a poor cut. The jambalaya lacked flavor. The protein on the dish was all overcooked. Dessert THE Elvis -- sounded sooo delicious but was basically a spoonful of peanut butter. Even the ice cream they served with it could not drown out the overpowering peanut butter flavor. I did enjoy the cappuccino. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday and he didn't even eat his meal. It was that bad. Sadly, one and done for us. I know they changed their menu so perhaps this is not their best lineup but I cannot forgive the terrible presentation. The price point for what they are presenting its insane.

Fortunately, the waiting time was about half of that. While we waited, we hung out around the bar and there wasn't much room to linger. The views of the New York skyline were breathtaking and this place is the perfect setting for a beautiful summer night! I had the calamari and New Jersey lobster rolls. The calamari was tender and tasty. The rolls were small but good. They weren't loaded with mayo and came with chips that were very salty. I probably would have preferred french fries, if given the option. Parking is a bit of a challenge. We managed to find a spot and it was a 5 min walk to the car.

We ordered the Pasta Al Forno as an appetizer & Chicken Scarpariello for the main dish. Was quoted 35-40 min when I called it in, arrived ~30 min, paid & food came out near the 40 min quote. The pasta - for us the cheese on top was perhaps over toasted as it was on the dry side. Flavor was fine otherwise. Not sure I'd order this for a main dish without added protein though. The Chicken Scarp - excellent. The chicken & potatoes were very tender. The mild sausage makes this dish come together, it adds a level of savoriness to complement the balsamic sweetness in the sauce. I also like the long angled slices of sausage nicely seared on each side, it was not expected vs other versions that I've had. Meal also came with bread to soak up that chicken sauce. Also noting the place seemed packed, only 2 spots on their lot were open plus it sounded busy inside. Will try it next time onsite with one of my many fine bottles of wine. :)
