The food was excellent, beautifully plated and full of flavor. No complaints there…read more What I do have an issue with is the automatic gratuity being added without verbally mentioning it. An $11.50 tip was already included on my $93 bill, yet the itemized receipt showing that charge was wrapped around my credit card, while the signature copy with only the total was placed on top. That presentation feels intentional and misleading. Most people would sign without double-checking the tucked receipt and could easily tip twice. If gratuity is being added, even for a party of one, say it clearly. Transparency matters. Great food doesn't excuse shady billing practices.

Another great spot for breakfast/Brunch!…read more Great location too at Montclair with street parking and walking distance to Crescent Deck Garage. Place is welcoming and had nice natural lighting. We got their Huevos Rancheros, roasted chicken, tuna chaufa and lomo saltado. everything was great - good portions and beautiful flavors! Especially loved their Earl Grey latte too. the flavors of tea and espresso were very well balanced I would love to get that drink again. Also got their smores cookie for a nice sweet ending. We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

Went to Libélula for the first time today, as I'm very picky with the Peruvian places I try (I was…read moreborn and raised in Perú, so I just have a very set palate for Peruvian food). My friend and I asked if they sell pan con chicharrón, and though they don't have it on the menu, the chef (Brian) said he'd make it for us! First impression of the service ... amazing. We got the pan con chicharrón and I truly almost cried! I have not had one as delicious as this one in Jersey! The pork was tender, yet nicely fried, and there was not as much fat on it which is always hard as the fat gives it the flavor but too much can be overpowering. After talking to the chef, he mentioned that it is no longer on the menu because people didn't really order it ... so here I am, asking you all to go in and order it, so it can hopefully go back on the menu and everyone can try authentic and delicious Peruvian breakfast!! HUGE shoutout to Brian for creating something that brought both me and my friend a true sense of home

I had an amazing experience at Terra Modern Cuisine. The Peruvian food is on another level…read more The purple potato causa limeña was absolutely outstanding -- incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with authentic flavor. You can truly taste the quality and attention to detail. The lomo saltado was excellent The beef was tender, perfectly seasoned, and had the ideal balance between traditional Peruvian flavor and a modern touch. Everything was fantastic -- the service, the atmosphere, and the presentation. Definitely a 10-star experience This restaurant has tremendous potential, and I will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommended if you're looking for modern, authentic Peruvian cuisine done right.

Gigi's Cafe is a great spot for a high quality breakfast, easily earning a top rating…read more I ordered the avocado toast, which came loaded with bacon, egg, cheese, arugula and tomatoes, and paired it with a signature cappuccino. Both were excellent, fresh and well made. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the relaxed feel of the place. The one thing to keep in mind is that the order took a while to come out, so it is worth planning for a bit of a wait if you are short on time. That aside, the quality more than makes up for it. A wonderful choice for breakfast and well worth a visit.

The vegan zucchini soup gets an A++! The flour less pão de queijo, served warm, was crisp on the outside and deliciously soft & spongey on the inside. We found both the chicken-okra soup and the salmon-burger under-spiced. I would return but order a different entree. Service was top-notch and attentive, though it seems the whole staff is Spanish-, not Portuguese-speaking. ...and we live the neighborhood, with many boutique retail stores to check out.

I had made reservations 2 weeks ago to come see a World Cup Match , as i have done in many cultural places with Amazing experiences . Up till tonight . I was given a make shift table cramped up the bar and in front of a crowded line waiting to be seated . These ppl literally were hovering over me for most of my meal if not leaning on my table . The wait staff barely had space to move around the table so my head was elbowed , chair kicked multiple times by the waiters . The food was 5-6/10 . We ordered Churrasco in a salad bowl . I requested my meat medium rare . Surveying the room , i already knew at this capacity it was a huge ask to get it right . Sure enough , i barely touched my meal . We ordered similar dish but with shrimp 6/10 . Our appetizer was guacamole with plantain chips . The portion served was small . i didn't bother to ask for dessert . I had been to other restuarant for watch parties where the managers knew when to curtail the flow of patrons . For the enjoyment and safety of the people in the dining area . Something for this place to consider .

All the workers were very polite. I had an Oxtail plate, served with a choice of rice and beans. I opted for White Rice and Black Beans. Since I was dining in, I was offered a small salad and a cup of chicken soup. It was a hot day, so I had a Passionfruit Slushy. The Oxtail was very tasty and the rice and beans were flavorful. The portion was sizeable. You get a great value for the price. I would definitely return, because there are many other dishes that I would like to try. It would also be great for a grab and go dinner. Very affordable, and you will be full and happy.
