    A medium sized venue with low mood lighting. Gives upscale energy & vibes. Staff were very friendly…read more& efficient. They also were fun, not afraid to joke around with you as part of your experience. Parking here is a true pain though. Metered street parking mainly (Free after a certain time), but there is also a parking garage. It does have a very nice bar area, but I did not take a picture of it. For food we had the Dumplings appetizer, El Presidente, & Mama's Chicken. Drinks we had The Purple Drink (Yes, that's its name) & Simple Man. All of the food was absolutely delicious. Even the complimentary bread was great. It comes with a "cinnamon apple" butter? Not sure, but it was excellent. Overall, worth a return trip. Grades: Dumplings: A+ El Presidente: A+ Mama's Chicken: A The Purple Drink: A Simple Man: A+

    I really wanted to give this place a try, but I left pretty disappointed. Not only was it…read moreexpensive, but the food just didn't deliver. I started with a drink that was just okay, nothing special, but not terrible either. For an appetizer, we ordered the octopus, and unfortunately it was not good. The sauce didn't taste great, and the octopus itself didn't taste great either , which already set the tone for what I was about to have next. For my entrée, I had the Dijon salmon (not pictured), and it was honestly so bad. It had a very strong, fishy taste, and I couldn't get through it, I left most of it on the plate. I'm not one to complain, and since I was there with my kids, I just paid the bill and left. The space itself is pretty, but the food is no bueno. Also I found the menu was limited, it wasn't clear what their specialty is, and nothing really stood out or made me want to try something else. Overall, not a place I'd return to nor recommend.

    1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

    I went to The Irving Social on April 7, 2026, and it definitely didn't disappoint--this wasn't my…read morefirst visit, and it continues to be a favorite! I love their Caesar salad--it's consistently delicious and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The service is always awesome, and the staff makes the experience even better. The ambiance of the place is also a big plus--great vibes all around, whether you're catching up with friends or just stopping by to unwind. It's a perfect spot for a quick happy hour. On top of that, I find their prices to be very fair for the quality you get. Overall, I would absolutely recommend, this place is a solid go-to and you won't be disappointed!

    It's hard to find a place with good cocktails, but this place SLAPS!. Very cool, funky vibe with a…read moremusic/vinyl record theme. Fun bar with high tops as well as a lounge area with big arm chairs and coffee tables. The food is good to very good, though some things we liked better than others. We had the material girl, and it was a perfectly balanced drink. We ordered the veggie zucini burger, It was good but not spicy. We had burgers with fries and also ordered side of yucca fries which were really good as well. Loved the food and low-key vibe. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back but will stick more to the "shareable" portion of the menu. Just to wrap up this review, I've been here 3-4 times and haven't had a drink or food item I'm disappointed in. Rare to have everything so well made and it's popular for a reason. FYI, Street parking only but there's a Rahway parking deck near by as well.

    Finally got to check this place out . I heard about it but didn't know it was right near somewhere…read moreelse I like to go. It's kinda incognito. Left side looks like a bar and right side building looks like the restaurant. Not sure since it's a pandemic.... we were escorted thru the alley throughway to the backyard patio and bar. Cute little intimate set up. The my don't take reservations so it's first come first serve . We were seated right away but it was also 8 pm. They also said it's two hr timeframe at the table. Staff was super friendly. Menu online Parking street. Metered before 7pm. Drinks and food were pretty good. I got the walking on sunshine cocktail which is a gin cocktail and then the uptown girl which is a vodka lychee martini spinoff. I decided on two small places today. I got the honey sriracha wings and the spicy shrimp. They were good/ok. Loved the presentation. Friend for the lobster tacos. We shared the coconut bread pudding and that was delicious. If I come back- I may try one of the burgers or main entrees.
