Visited during happy hour on Friday. Happy hour was awesome! $3 pints, free chips and salsa. They also have a chafer with a free hot item as well. I tasted the chicken and rice and it was delicious. Bartender was very nice and very attentive. Beer section was not large (6-7), though the Raspberry wheat was my favorite. This place was busy with locals. Not your typical bar, the motif was cute. Will definitely visit next time im in town.

Dropped in at Le Malt for a date with my wife. Great atmosphere and dark intimate setting. Unreal selection of scotch, whisky, specially drinks and wine. Comfortable seating. We just did drinks and an assortment of app/tapas. The scallops were real good as was the cheese plate and dessert. Will return for special occasions or date nights

We went or an early dinner and nobody was disappointed. The portion size was was enormous and the taste was fantastic. We ordered the Matzo-ball soup that easily feed four people. We also ordered the pastrami and corn beef sandwich. Both meats were hot and fresh. The flavor was exceptional. Wow what a meal. With the 32 ounce orange sherbet dry, it was a drink for the Gods.The restaurant has ample parking and seats hundreds of patrons. The atmosphere is a little dated like a Jewish deli with pleasant with NYC theme. The service is impeccable and very clean. If you are in the area or need a good meal just off the NJ Turnpike at exit 10 - stop by. You will not be disappointed.

Love this place for an unplanned outing. This time we went for the Chinese. Though the spread is limited, all the items were very tasty and well prepared. We had the noodles along with some chicken, pork and fish fry - loved the food.

Reviewed By Tony S

I had a blackened chicken sandwich as is with a side salad. It was one of the best grilled chicken sandwiches I've had. Pickles seem made in house and the salad was mostly spinach with some iceberg, and a good chunky blue cheese. Better than your average bar sand, that's for sure.

We wrote a review on this Cheesecake Factory back in 2013 and thought it was time to refresh it.We are amazed that with the large menu and the hustle and bustle of this place that the food is consistently good.We eat here at least once a month and have never been disappointed, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive and the food is good.Start off with the warm bread basket and finish with a piece of cheesecake, my Wife and I share as a full slice is a bit much, the server always has the slice cut in half and served on individual places a very nice touch, oh and the coffee is good.Thank you so much for this review. We're very happy you enjoy dining with us! We look forward to seeing you back again soon to enjoy some more of our cheesecake!

Seasons 52

Reviewed By Gloria S

After eating in another Seasons 52, decided to go here. Atmosphere was similar, didn't have to wait for a table.Food is such a subjective thing. Couldn't understand why the waiter didn't recommend certain dishes. Tried the lobster flatbread. Very little lobster, not as good as what I had before. Then I ordered the Greek salad. When I asked the waiter, he didn't seem to be enthusiastic about it. How could someone not like Greek Salad? Now I know why... too many chickpeas, very little cheese, and questionable dressing. The chickpeas were overbearing. I hate to write this, but for the price, I could have gone to a Greek diner and had a better Greek salad. Disappointed.I had to apologize to the waiter. He was right and knowledgeable. His service level was also very good.The best was the Shrimp and Grits. That tasted good and was consistent with what I had elsewhere. Maybe I'll just stick to that.My husband was happy with the salmon and salad.Desserts were also good. I was satisfied with about with 50% of the meal. Thus, the average rating. I would go back and hope that next time, it will be better.

Must have drove past this place right on a major highway for years, but because of my aversion to food chains never stopped to go inside. This time meeting friend who was staying at the big hotel behind this place, so went inside around 5pm on a FRI and it was crowded so a good sign. Sat at the only seat left at the bar and was greeted immediately even though the staff was busy, and the service was spot on. Plus, it was happy hour till 7PM and they had a very extensive drink and food menu with the lowest prices around so I ordered and it was a pleasant surprise. Nice portions perfectly prepared with quality ingredients. Guess I will come back and not be afraid of chains!
