There are a lot of good Thai places in the area, this is probably the best. Have had a few lunches and dinners here and every time the food is fantastic. I don't get many different entrees but what I do get is always on point.

When you enter, the sound of laughter and smell of great home cooked food are immediately welcoming. The portions are large and the food could be described as an american version of italian, but no less delicious for it. Don't expect refined flavours or dishes, but if you are looking for a great night, in a very popular place, with tasty food you won't go far wrong with Espo's

We noticed this place from the intersection while driving through Raritan. It was impossible not to pay attention. Randazzo's has a prominent local presence. And indeed they do have quite a selection of desserts and sandwiches. Great place for a lunch and sweet tasty dessert.

In town to visit family, and happened upon Savor. Hubby had seafood pasta which was delicious, with house-made pasta and perfectly cooked seafood. I had flat iron steak special, and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Ask for Ronald. One of the best servers we’ve ever had. Service is attentive but not intrusive, and he took the time to learn our names, and shook our hands as we left. Highly recommended!

We celebrated a birthday here and I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to do so. Ambiance is very nice, especially in a quiet back room. We had gotten an email for a free flatbread appetizer, which we might not have ordered without the email - but it was absolutely delicious, light as a feather - tasty but not filling so that we had room for the entree! I had scallops and my companion had trout - both were perfectly cooked and scrumptious. Our server brought the desserts out so of course we had to try them. One was comped for the birthday, and had a candle, which was very nice. (What's great about the desserts is that they are small, and inexpensive, so you don't feel like you'e ordering a huge portion if you choose to get one.) Wine was very good, and our server was excellent. We will absolutely be back!
7. Uncle Vinnie's Clam Bar

Finally tried this after trying their market a few times. This is the best seafood around. It is really really good. Prices are pretty reasonable considering it is seafood, just expect to pay. Not very big and gets super crowded, but there is a reason for the crowds. Had the lobster tail special. Was very good. The actual menu might be small, but they have a ton of specials every day.

As You Like It is the local ice cream place in Raritan. In the warm, summer months, especially on weekend evenings, this place is packed (not sure why other reviewer said there are no lines!). The ice cream is good (nothing extraordinary, but solidly good), much better than the chain places that are around. There is really no where to sit except outside on the sidewalk benches, but that's ok - nothing better than getting a nice cone and sitting outside on a warm day to enjoy the cold, refreshing, dripping deliciousness of good ice cream.

The food is excellent. Worth 5stars.
The service superb.
The price reasonable and it is BYOB.
The atmosphere is a split rating both very good and in my judgement poor.
Outside seating
Inside ... Much too dark.
We shall return but only in the warm weather when we can sit outside.
10. Maggiano's - Bridgewater
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Arthur Y - New Jersey
Our family usually goes out after church service with friends for lunch and we suggested Maggiano's since we go there from time to time. Some friends have never been there. This Maggiano's is located at an entrance to the Bridgewater Commons Mall off Rte 22 and Rte 202 / 206. We were a large group but Andrew, one of the manager's made sure we had a table that we could all seat comfortably. Our attendant, Mahid was very helpful and always around when we needed something. The portions were all large and tasty, one person in our party has food allergies and the chef came out to discuss options. There's a separate Brunch menu on Sundays with different selections. BTW, our friends all enjoyed the atmosphere and their meals. One thing about Maggiano's - parking is limited due to the proximity of other shops and the mall.
