Stopped in to get a couple of sandwiches, a bit early for the lunch "rush." They were still setting up, but we're friendly and attentive. When I go to Subway, it's because I want a predictable sandwich. Although the vast assortment of bread choices makes me stop and think, the rest of the process works. And that's what I like about this store. They follow the plan.

Needed to make early dinner resi's for 2 couples going to The PM Playhouse for a show. My foodie niece recommended this restauant for their great food and walking distance to the show. We arrived to find a beautiful venue with open kitchen design. Very comfy and inviting. We started with a few appys to share. Twice cooked Pork Belly withsweet chili and soy glaze, scallions was to die for. We also had some delicious salmon sashimi and an incedible butter truffle 'special' that was incredible. A great start to a great dinner. Entrees included Plancha Seared Fluke (crazy good), Pan Roasted Branzino Fillet (yummy), and Dry Aged Australian Sirlon (cooked to perfection). The low of the meal were the desserts. We had London Fog Profiterole and Mocha Swiss Roll Cake. Both were good but not off the charts like the rest of the meal. Even so the rest of the meal deserved 5 stars plus. Of course the BYOB just makes it that much better. Must try especially if you're in town for a show at the Playhouse!

We decided to try this restaurant for dinner. The place is modern with a nice vibe. The branzino was excellent..didn't really like the the side vegetables. We also had the duck confit which was good but not great. It's a very small portion and I didn't understand why they served a medium boiled egg with the dish. The Presecco was not a great quality for $12. The dessert apple pie with caramel icecream was fantastic. I felt that the restaurant as a whole was very expensive and things were over priced. The service was decent but on the slow side.

My family & I went here for brunch and had a great experience. My husband & I had some more adventurous and very flavorful columbian / american dishes while our kids were able to indulge in their more traditional favorites - pancakes & omlettes. The service is friendly and I love the crayons for the paper tablecloths. Definately worth a visit!!

We ate here while staying with friends in Maplewood, which is a very pretty town. Food was good. My husband had the Chicken Goujons, I had the crock of Mature cheddar and crackers. We also had a very good Marlborough at a reasonable price. Went back the next day for more!

Went here with a few friends from the area. The appetizers decent, especially the charcuterie. The tuna tartare was overpowered by a very salty avocado mousse so I didnât enjoy it. I ordered the pad Thai and it was a disaster. It tasted like vinegar and the chicken it was served with had been pounded to the consistency of shoe leather and the only thing you could taste was salt. It was served with peanuts but had no peanut flavor. Drinks were good and they do have a massive selection, especially beer. I wonât return. By the way, it seems like a lot of the 5 star reviews for this place are from individuals with very few reviews. Hmmmm.

Great to dine in or take out. Probably 50 sandwiches to choose from. Most are pressed with a panini machine. Fresh ingredients. I had the Gossip Girl which was grilled chicken, mozzarella, roasted peppers and balsamic vinegar. Juicy and flavorful. My son liked jay ray. Fresh bread too. You can design your own salad too. All the staff were nice and willing to cater to your needs. Definitely will go back.On the street parking with 15 minutes free. Great if picking up to go.

We visited Coda expecting great food and service. The food was ok. I enjoyed the shrimp soup and blackened chicken sandwich. Friends had the short rib grilled cheese which he raved about. The baby back ribs were a bit dry on the inside and quite saucy on the outside. The waitress was a bit abrupt at times and unnecessarily confrontational. For example my friend who was on a diet asked for a little slaw with his grilled cheese sandwich. The waitress said they didnât have slaw. When the ribs came out they had slaw. Really!!Didnât appreciate the non effort to make him happy over a few tablespoons of slaw. I blame mgt for that. Overall, Coda was OK. Will probably return.

We met our friends for brunch on Labor Day: was not too crowded. Voted by NJ.com as best diner in Essex County, we decided to meet our friends for a meal. Our friends had the eggs Benedict and really liked them. My wife had an omelette and thought it was good but not great. I had a wrap with fries. The balsamic vinegar on the wrap made the wrap too soggy. The fries were good. Server was super friendly.They have a parking lot.
