Probably eat in Amarone once or twice a month. Very consistent service, excellent menu and accommodating hosts (Nick and Nick). Kind of quiet, but nothing wrong with that.

Casual Habana Cafe

Reviewed By Douglas F - Garfield, New Jersey

If Cuban food is your thing then this is the place. All of the typical dishes are here and they're cooked to perfection. The Ropa Vieja is top on the list followed by the churrasco. Great home made empanadas with several typical of fillings. It's a bring your own bottle and the sangria is definitely worth an order. Prepare for a nice night out but make a reservation especially on the weekends because this place fills up quickly.

Reviewed By mzhappyhr - New York City, New York

I either order for take out or dine in if its a weekday lunch because its less crowded. There are maybe 30 seats on the side to dine in so very small. My favorite dinner is the penne vodka with shrimp & scallops. You cant go wrong with anything, oh and like most local spots its BYOB.

This is a destination restaurant - if you let it be. Order the exciting items, not old mainstays and you'll be impressed. The service is very polished and they pay a lot of attention to your overall experience. Sit in the bar room if you can. Reservations strongly recommended. Swordfish is amazing.

Had dinner reservations here for an early Valentine's Day dinner celebration. Our waiter Franklin was impeccable with his service and making sure we had everything we needed during our dinner (we hope our tip reflected our happiness with him!). Best lobster bisque we ever had...creamy with large chunks of lobster in it. The Filet Mignon, Tenderloin, Lobster tails and South African Lobster Tail was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Not lost were the sides too...probably the best Au Gratin potatoes I've ever had. Dessert was fantastic too which we weren't able to finish due to being so stuffed from everything we had prior. Can't comment on the wine selection as we didn't order drinks but it looks like they had a nice wine collection.

While this meal was more on the pricey side of what we normally spend when we go out, I knew what the prices were going to be before hand and I thought everything we had was reasonably priced for what we got.

Riviera Maya Mexican Cuisine

Reviewed By naps - New Jersey

We have been to Riviera Maya several times. It's family owned, and the owner's son was our attentive waiter this time. We took my brother and sister in law. My brother was reluctant because he has only had tex mex, and is not a fan of cumin. We always start out with the made at the table guacamole, very rich and creamy. Reasonably priced compared to other nearby restaurants. Well he had the chicken enchiladas, which he loved. I had the veggie enchiladas, as did my SIL. Hubby had the beef tacos. Let me say its a BYOB. They have margarita mix that they will serve you for your tequila ( my friend sais it is delicious) while I prefer a cold cervasa with my food. Another menu item, pollo pibil, which is chicken marinated, served with rice, beans and cactus. It is delicious. Family has also had chicken fajitas as well as beef fajitas and reported it was very good. Waitstaff is excellent, chiops and salsa included. I find the food is more like authentic, not tourist mexican

A Taste of Greece

Reviewed By Elaina S - New York

This was my third time dining at TOG. This visit I dined with 7 friends for a birthday dinner and we got to try a bunch of things. We actually ordered way too much food! We had two orders of the meatballs which were very tasty, but a little too greasy for me. We also had two orders of pan fried eggplant which I would go so far to say is the best eggplant I have ever had! We ordered zucchini cakes as well which were also quite yummy. The appetizers are a nice portion size so next time we would only need one eggplant, and one meatball. There were leftovers to take home. I tried a lemon chicken soup which was also tasty, but I was hoping for lentil instead. We ordered a Greek salad and a horitaki salad both which very good, but we definitely didn't need them amongst our 5 plates of appetizers. For dinner were were all so full, but everyone enjoyed gyros (most were packed to go after a few bites) and I had a lamb shish platter. The lamb wasn't as good as the previous time I ordered it. This time it was slightly more overcooked than I would like, but still enjoyable. I highly recommend giving this place a try! Everything is good, fresh, and flavorful!

BV Tuscany Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By Sam847 - Bradley Beach, New Jersey

We arrived at the restaurant and our glasses of water were immediately filled . We waited for the others in our party to arrive and drinks were served. The wine selection was excellent. Waiters were quick and efficient and provided exceptional service.The down side was that there was no free refills on the sodas and the restaurant refuses to serve ketchup even though steaks and chops are served, a very big negative in my gustatory experience. On the plus side the pasta is served Aldente' and the gravy (red sauce) is exceptionally good. Appetizers and main courses are varied and very good. The deserts are varied and I particularly liked the Italian Cheese Cake, reminded me of the old Pipi's in Jersey City. I would return, but steaks and chops will not be ordered by me without ketchup being available.
