"I made a reservation for an early dinner this evening to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. She had never been to Cafe Central, but she had heard me talk about it several times. We were seated promptly and served our water and tea. We decided on two appetizers: the Grilled Portobello Mushroom and the Grilled Fried Calamari. Both were excellent and the spicy sauce on the calamari was great. For dinner, my daughter ordered the Maple Leaf Duck Breast and I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The presentation was spot-on gorgeous on both entrees. The duck was cooked to an absolutely perfect medium rare and the fish was easily among the best I've ever had. We each sampled the other's entree and agreed that both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, the server brought out a wonderful Tres Leches Cake with a Birthday sparkler atop a specially decorated plate. He graciously offered to take a couple of Birthday photos, which I will treasure. The food, service, and ambience all made for a wonderful birthday celebration."

"I spent $470 on a Christmas celebration dinner for 2. I left with a lingering bad feeling for spending this kind of money after receiving such poor service. Drinks appetizers were good, but all went steeply downhill after waiting 1/2 hr for entrees....My Surf Turf fillet Mignon was cooked to the size of an Oreo Cookie. (No exaggeration. due to the wait and no waiters in sight, I regrettably did not return it. After another 1//2 hr wait to order coffee dessert, we gave up got our check. We now wonder if the poor service was due to the restaurant being busy or if the 5-6 police at the restaurant entrance when we were leaving. What is no mystery is that I will not return to what used to be called a “Clip Joint”"

"We had a wonderful meal for a pre-theater birthday celebration. We shared the tuna and scallop crudo appetizers. Then I had cod in corn sauce and my husband had the swordfish. All courses were excellent, and served promptly, with a great focaccia for dipping in the sauces or a nice olive oil. For dessert our favorite was the pistachio mousse, but the rhubarb crumble on vanilla was tasty, and they also brought us a chocolate cake for my husband’s birthday (quite nice, but we were too full to eat much)."

"This place is fantastic! They have an incredible Monkfish dish right now. Idk if their menu changes or not, but it seems like they have a very experienced chef that could easily make that possible. The Ceviche and the Crab Cakes were also amazing. The price was a little bit steep, but not when you consider where it is located. The presentation and service were excellent. Most of the people were sitting outside, I'm assuming due to Covid mask restrictions. If you're looking for a fancy, high-end place to eat, this would be a good spot. The menu was relatively simple and it's definitely a seafood restaurant over everything else. They had some great desert options. The pictures show the Monkfish, the Halibut, the Crab Cakes, and the Brownie."

"eating was perfect from start to end. that was worth unbelievable for what they give you. we started with tomato and mozzarella, which was delicious and they topped it with fresh basilikum and sun dried tomato. my son got the maple bacon 3 lg discs that were incredible! next curse I got the surf and rasen that were worth the $10 charged. my son has charged the 18oz porter house steak for 10 dollars. both steaks were perfectly cooked and melted in the mouth. I ordered brokkoli w garlic and oil and my sohn got a huge basket of truffle friries. both sides were enough for 3 people. dessert was amazing. we have cheesecake and chocolate cakes that were both delicious. the bread basket was also amazing. can not wait to return because this is an amazing deal (price fix Sun-Wed.) so glad that we decided to go."

"Over priced and just average. For $200 a couple nothing less than great should be said about that experience. But it was not. We ordered steak medium rare. It arrived more medium and because it’s in a sizzling hot plate with the juices it continues to cook.  Service was very good."

"Was very busy and as such the service lacked...it was unfortunate. Also, I had advised that we were celebrating my 60th and we had to remind the waiter about that....which is no fun, usually it is known up front. This was an overall merely OK time at Tutti Mangia....where it usued to be always amazing and perfect. Oh well :"

"I so love this place. We have been going here for close to 20 years , as it serves a halfway point for my family between Philly and North Jersey. So we have seen the transformation and it keeps getting better. Service was excellent and the food incredible! And on Saturday, the music was fun!"

"Had lunch at Wine 34. It was thoroughly enjoyable. It is small with a very warm woody ambiance. It was not busy so it was very quiet. Great for conversation. My friend and I both had a wild mushroom and cheese flatbread that was wonderful. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio that I liked very much. She ended with espresso and I with cappuccino. Service was excellent and we found the price was right. I intend to try it next for dinner."

"Beautiful restaurant with a great vibe. Great customer service. Overall a pleasant experience. For appetizers we ordered the tuna tartare, grilled octopus and calamari fritter. The tuna tartare was bland and unimpressive. It did taste fresh. The grilled octopus was out of this world. A perfect combination of the grill flavor with lemon. Perfectly cooked and tasty. The best plate of the night. The calamari were very tasty but salty. A little less salt and it would stand out. For dinner we had the ribeye. We ordered it medium but some areas of the ribeye were rare. It comes with potatoes and asparagus. The potatoes were a bit dry with only bacon and feta cheese. We also had the mushroom ravioli with shrimp. Great taste although it can improve. The desserts were wonderful. The creme brulee was awesome, tasty and full of flavor. The tiramisu was outstanding. Due to the tuna tartare and the calamari I am giving them 4.5 stars although Google only let me pick either a 4 or 5."

"This was our fourth visit and unfortunately our experience was nothing like the previous three times. New York strip was tough and just not all that enjoyable. Coulette waygu was tough and flavor was off. Must have been an off night. Apps were amazing and sides with dinner were delightful. Still tipped 20% because the wait staff has no control over quality of the food. Service was on point and personality was excellent. Certainly not worth the $411 I paid. Likely will take a break from TJ Highlands for a bit."

"Lousy experience. Made an indoor dining reservation weeks ago only to be told indoor dining is not guaranteed upon arrival. We either had to sit in the blistering heat outdoors or try to secure a new reservation on a Saturday evening (while we stared at the empty tables indoors for most of our dining time) I personally found the menu to be a bit limited and mediocre for an Italian restaurant. The kicker was being sold two desserts that were $30 each, and melted faster than we could eat them. Waiter was unimpressed with us from the start since we were displeased about seating and sure made us feel it.Moral of the story, $200 per person for mediocre Italian is never worth it. Take your money elsewhere and enjoy your meal comfortably. Worst money spend on a vacation meal in a while…0"
