Best Romantic Restaurants in Union

As in the past, Limani is a staple in Central Jersey for fresh seafood and fish, prepared to a highest level of excellence, from taste to presentation. Tonight, we tried two new items for us, but not new to Limani: lobster bisque (excellent, who knew it had just the right amount of kick to differentiate from other lobster bisques out there?!), and the cod in tomato broth was superb! Additional oldies but delicious goodies: salmon with horseradish, shrimp santorini, and their famous Bronzino, so soft it falls off the skin and so tasty! Highly recommend 👍

La Pergola has become one of our favorite local restaurants. We first dined there for Father's Day and had one of the most amazing and delicious experiences. The staff and wonderful family who owns the restaurant are first class in every way. You feel like you are part of their family as they are committed to making sure you feel welcomed and appreciated. We took our parents to La Pergola after seeing a musical at the Paper Mill Playhouse. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted and ushered to our table. The waiter and staff were very attentive and friendly. The meal was exquisite from beginning to end. Five stars is not enough to convey the experience you will have dining at La Pergola but will have to suffice for now. Thank you for being a mainstay in Milburn, NJ. We will be back soon!

They are eager to recommend wine pairings and are well-versed in the nuances of each cut of meat, ensuring you feel valued and well taken care of. **The Steak:** Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the steak. Ocean Prime offers a selection of premium cuts, including ribeye, filet mignon, and New York strip, all sourced from the finest farms. Each steak is aged to perfection and cooked to your desired doneness with a masterful touch. The ribeye, with its marbling and rich flavor, practically melts in your mouth. The filet mignon is so tender it doesn’t require a knife. Each bite is a celebration of flavor, enhanced by their signature seasoning that strikes the perfect balance without overpowering the meat's natural taste. **Sides and Accompaniments:** Complementing the steaks are an array of delectable sides. The mashed potatoes are creamy and indulgent, while the roasted Brussels sprouts add a delightful crunch. The house-made sauces, especially the chimichurri, elevate the steak experience to new heights. **Dessert:** Don’t skip dessert! The chocolate lava cake is a must-

La Griglia is authentic in its dining experience. From the bartenders to the servers, our evening there was amazing (as it has been many times before). The food is top notch from the Cajun calamari to the special crab cake recipe. La Griglia is full service with parking attendance and coat checking, it brings elegance to the experience from the very start. Whether dining as a couple or a large group, the staff stays engaged and responsive to customers' needs. Certainly worth taking the trip!

The service was fantastic. The food plentiful and delicious - would highly recommend especially the Penne Alla Vodka.
