(Don't waste ur time) Came back over the bridge to the mainland and luckily our absolutely favorite restaurant was able to seat us without a reservation. It was around 8pm. Always a great experience from food, to service, to calm ambiance . Everything we ordered was off the specials menu & as always nothing disappointed. Starters-AMAZING crab cakes as well as chicken liver mousse (definitely a 1st for us to try but was absolutely fantastic!) on grilled crostini with apricot habanero jam--yum! Entrees-Asian style filet mignon which hubby crushed & pan cooked halibut which was tender & delicious. Thanks for another great anniversary dinner Rue! BYOB is a nice bonus

I looked through a lot of reviews and read between the lines , any bad ones really seemed to be on the reviewer their self. And luckily I was right. We ordered a little of everything. They even customized the clams to my dad's liking and gave him extra for his birthday. Usually there is one dish that is meh. But there wasn't. Each dish was better than the last! Our favorite standouts was the Clams Oreganata, the Tomahawk, Brussel Spouts, Crab Cakes, Salmon, and the Spicy Rigatoni. But mushrooms, Bouilbasse and everything else was still friggin amazing. Highly recommend. As my dad said at 90. I've been in NJ since I was in my 40s. This is the best restaurant I've had in the state.

Mind you I despise eating Greek as we travel into NYC 5 boroughs and have eaten at some incredible Greek establishments. The restaurant decor is clean and styled as if you are in Greece. Very light and pleasant. Service was excellent and I ordered the large Greek salad to split with wife, Gyro platter for myself and wife ordered Avgolemono soup. Salad came very fast, romaine lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta and olives which were above average and pepperoncini peppers. Salad was a solid 9! In season tomatoes would've clearly brought up to a 10. Gyro platter was served with fries, rice or potatoes which I chose and simply delicious. Also came with a small bed of salad and tzatziki sauce. An unbelievable portion size and quality another solid 9. Serving size I would give an 11! Wife's soup was also delicious and between half a salad and cup of soup, she couldn't finish and had to take home. A wonderful dining experience and this will be on our lists of stops. A true gem and the staff made you feel welcome and wanted! Can't wait to go back!!

I had a cappuccino and we shared this delicious dessert of custard whipped on a phyllo base with pistachio on top. Perfect ending to our meal.

Now I am not a fig fan, but this was great and a nice start to the meal. For the entree I had baked lasagna which is an Italian classic and one of my favorites. This had plenty of meat with ricotta and fresh mozzarella. This was a nice light meal and enough that I only ate half of last night. My wife had the Cannelloni / Manicotti which was another baked dish with very similar ingredients. This had a bit less pasta but a combination that was really great. This was served in a plate almost the size of a small boat and there was no way she was finishing it. We went in on a Friday night and being the July 4th weekend we immediately were at a table. They quickly served bread with an EVO oil and spices that were really good. Kirstin was our server and she had the answers to all our questions and steered us to the perfect dinner. There was also a guy cleaning plates and he was quite personable talking about the meals. With a slower then usual Friday we at in an area with probably only 8 other tables. There was at least one more are with other tables that allowed for a quite ambiance to eat in with lower noise. One of my pet peeves is eating in a place where you fight to hear the people at the table in conversation. This was not the case This restaurant is now in our Wall area for better food, at an extremely reasonable price and you should stop and give them a shot

We started with the rice balls as an appetizer, and they were absolutely outstanding. The very first bite instantly brought me back to my Nonna's kitchen. ~ the same comforting, authentic flavor I remember growing up. It's the first time I've had rice balls in a restaurant that truly tasted like hers. Our waiter, Riccardo, was attentive, informative, and incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. The food was fantastic. My husband had the Sunday Sauce and said it was outstanding, and I had the Cavatelli and Broccoli, cooked to perfection! Everything about the evening exceeded our expectations. Do yourself a favor and order the rice balls ~ you won't regret it. If you're looking for authentic Italian, that taste like it came straight from a Nonna's kitchen, this is your place. We will definitely be back!

We had banana Foster, flourless chocolate cake, cheesecake and crème brûlée.Flawless. Chef Bass came over to our table and was so friendly and lovely. After we ate all of this mountain of food, he found out that my husband loves pasta Bolognese. He ran into the kitchen and insisted my husband try some lol it was great.

Al made sure to get to know us as we chatted over the meal and I even had to opportunity to see the fine dining restaurant room ( Gorgeous!) and I also saw the Soprano Room, with a beautiful painting of the cast! The Food: 10/10 Cheesesteak on a 10" Italian bread roll. The Mozzarella sticks were 10/10 with their house sauce, Wings were so delicious, our kids LOVED them and the blue cheese was soooo good. The prosciutto sandwich with the house made roasted red peppers are excellent- if not the best roasted red peppers I've ever eaten! The pizza is a thin style, similar to NY ( Brooklyn ) pizza. I know I'll be back and I have to experience their fine dining!
