Ok. This place had me at “hello lobster fra diavolo” with its amazing, giant messiness and flavors. This place gets very crowded and it’s not a romantic place - you come here to eat and socialize. The service is fast, friendly. Recommended for a fun, yummy night out.

First the good . . . THE FOOD. We started with the some kind of Spanish bean and potato soup, which was very tasty. We each ordered paella, one order of Paella Valencia, and one of Paella Marinera. The portions were large, and the paella delicious.
Now the not so good. The dining room is one big room, jammed with as many tables, chairs and people as they can possible fit. The have tried muting the noise in the room by covering two walls with sound-deadening material, but it's still very loud, very crowded, and has zero ambiance. Second, service is slow at best. Third, it's grossly overpriced considering the slow service and the loud cramped dining conditions. Too bad, because the food is good enough to command the high price ($100 for two of us, without any liquor), but not in such a pedestrian environment.

Was in town for three days, and RJ's was right across the street from my hotel. So I dropped in for coffee. Coffee is my passion, and they had a nice selection of styles. I opted for a latté and the gent taking my order warned me that it would not be a S****. Which was fine with me. I got a "real" Italian (I have consumed many there) latté.
Later returned with two friends who are not so fanatic, but they commented on how much they enjoyed.
I returned for a breakfast; (unfortunately, I was only able to enjoy one in three days) and had an excellent scramble.
Definitely recommended if you are in the area!

Brought a friend here for lunch - service was great, food selections & portions were great! I got the adult Mac n cheese-filled with bacon, broccoli & a creamy white sauce- delicious. My friend had a lobster sandwich which she said was very good- we both brought 1/2 Home. The one downfall is that because it was lunchtime, it was pretty crowded with business folks & was noisy- it settled down once food was brought - a very welcoming place to visit
5. Cranford Vanilla Bean Creamery

Reviewed By FastAli - NJ
There are so many interesting and creative flavors to choose from here, but the only one you really need is the mint chip. Vanilla bean makes the best home made mint chip ever. It is creamy and simply perfect. The ice cream sandwiches are nice to take home to have in the freezer. It's a treat to come out and support this local small business whenever the ice cream craving strikes!

Much better Japanese food than you would expect to find next to a bowling alley in on North Avenue Garwood, NJ. The room and service and good and the Japanese selections run from good to very good (based on personal preferences).

Since my childhood, this bakery, which used to be in Plainfield New Jersey, has provided us with delicious Italian rum cakes for family birthdays. Not only the rum cakes are exceptional, but the Italian pastries are second to none. Keep up the great work and providing wonderful service.

This was déjà vu for another birthday celebration at Chez Catherine. In spite of new ownership since our last visit, the food continues to be superb. Service was professional yet interspersed with humor which made the experience even better. The restaurant is small but at no point did we feel crowded or rushed.
Appetizers:
Mussels- clean-tender with a delicious broth
Risotto with peas & lemon zest- creamy, with just the right touch of lemon
Entrées:
Dover Sole- doesn't get any better with traditional deboning/filleting at the table. Even the side of vegetables were outstanding.
Dessert:
Hazelnut soufflé- so good we ordered another
It's quite obvious that we had another memorable meal at Chez Catherine. We need to make more frequent visits.

Very original dishes, big portions, tasty food, nice setting but a few things could be improved: music is too loud and the staff comes and interrupts too often.
