   Everything was excellent from the appetizers, which we got four different ones, to the entrées! The lugangia sausage and the octopus were the best we have ever eaten! Our waiter was extremely helpful and courteous. We were completely satisfied with our experience.

   We went the day after Valentines’ Day and were unaware that the restaurant was offering the Valentines’ Day menu only. Two tables got up and left because not only was the menu limited but the rib eye steak was sold out. Probably wasn’t the best idea. The service was polite but rushed - not sure what the hurry was because the restaurant was half empty. The food was good. The ahi tune was excellent. The beef carpaccio was good. My wife’s veal chop was a little overcooked, she probably should have sent it back. The strip steak was properly cooked. The wine list was surprisingly small, especially for a steak house. They did have some good bottles on the list, but the vintages were missing from all of the entries. The wines by the glass were unexciting. On the positive side, the entertainer had a great voice.\ We have some great steak houses in the area, so it was probably one and done for this place

   The food was good overall but they had to cook my wife’s steak three times before getting the temperature correct. The wait staff was apologetic and nice about it but for a $58 steak in NJ I expected more. The ambiance and staff were great. I would give them another try.

   Although we were the only ones in the restaurant it was to our benefit by far. Our waiter did a spectacular job making sure we were comfortable and accommodating with the drinks and the food. It was an awesome night as we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Kudos to the chef as our leftovers were just as good as the original meal

   I booked this restaurant for location and menu and price -- my family and I came on Christmas Eve, and found a whole special menu with prices that were nearly double the options listed on the regular menu. Clearly, this impacted our choices of what to order, as we did not plan on spending as much as we did. We split the filet mignon tips appetiser, which was delicious (this being a steak house, we felt we needed to at least have steak as one of our courses) but the peppers were far too much and most of us removed them before eating the tips and bread. The main courses were fine, but my daughters chose to split their tuna dish (and were told there was a $7 extra charge for plating it on two plates -- outrageuous!). We did enjoy the food and ambiance, but the overall bill dampened my husband's and my spirits for the holiday. We will NOT be returning.

   We have driven by this restaurant for a while and finally decided to stop in for a drink and a appetizer on Christmas Eve. We were greeted by friendly Jan who took us to our reserved high top, The menu had been changed to a special limited menu so we decided to have dinner. Had a lobster and burrata appetizer and then lobster ravioli and the salmon. Both were great. While we were eating a husband and wife combo came in and set up for the nightly entertainment. As they walked by us they stopped to introduce themselves and say Merry Christmas. They started playing a mix of Christmas Carols and popular music. Couples were dancing so we did too. The owner came over to say hello as well. We stayed longer for a couple of martinis. Overall a great ;meal, friendly people, and all in all a delightful surprise.

   Reason for celebration (Anniversary) was overlooked despite mentioning that in our reservations. initially tried to sit us in a crowed, small and loud area. The complete opposite of the vibe we were looking for. The service was decent and the food was good but nothing exceptional. Perhaps not the right vibe for us.
