"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."

"Waterbar restaurant lived up to all expectations. The service was very on point and food extremely artfully presented. Fresh ingredients were hand crafted into creative dishes. Management was clearly visible on the floor and attentive. The setting is world class and the interior and exterior space is impeccably designed. Anybody searching out fresh seafood and shellfish would certainly not be disappointed with a visit to Waterbar."

"Loved the atmosphere, the attention to detail and service we received. Wasn't overly impressed with the food. I had steak tail, it was cooked very good, but for the pricing point I think I should have been wowed by it. We've eaten at several other restaurants with this pricing and had a better meal. The wine was delicious I was glad they had a sweet wine to choose. Our other meal was salmon it was good, but again nothing that knocked my socks off. I would definitely dine here again with the superior service looking for a nice place to eat, but I might look somewhere else if I am looking for better food."

"Late night in the Tiki Bar! Some drinks enjoyed a nice mood. In any case, we need to remember here for a nice place to finish the evening again for Valentine's Day, we did not dive, but everything was packed and was still hot when it came home!! Food was fantastic! We had the Cupid's Crab Cakes and broken seafood combination together with a small neck steamed mussels in red sauce appetizer. We eat other days here, but their VD specialties are so good I feel that I have to post about them!! Never had a good meal at any place Vince owned. . . They were all EXCELLENT! Tonight was no exception, we went to Valentine's Day. Started with steamed mussels in red sauce, followed by Cupid Crab Cakes and Veal Sinatra. Both came with asparagus and potatoes. We also had a Love Potion Martini. Thank you for the beautiful rose for my beautiful wife! Can't wait to come back!"

We highly recommend dining at Villari’s as you’ll be sure to get a delicious meal to enjoy."

"Great experience! My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and immediately when we sat down our waiter said happy anniversary (marked that as an occasion on Open Table) Gram was so attentive kind and helpful in making our food and drink selections. The Blueberry Mojito was so good! We were a bit cold at the beginning and end of our meal (sitting still/not eating etc other than that great atmosphere. Everyone was so nice. We even got some fruit on a plate that had “Happy Anniversary” on it in chocolate. Definitely helped make this one of the best anniversaries we have had. Food was delicious but I personally would have preferred more cheese in my lobster fettuccine. Overall amazing experience everyone should go here!"

"It was my wife's birthday and we were never asked if we were to celebrate. It was our first time in this facility and we had to ask for bread. If bread on request a first customer would not know. I do not say that bad services were given, but there is definitely room for improvement. For many it is the small things that make a good experience a great one. Our server was not bad, but the overall experience is not what I would have expected from a place that is considered a fine food."

"Love Parker Quinn. Cute and clean restaurant, close to the hustle and bustle but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Service is always great and the restaurant has been clean each time we have dined here. I have not experienced a dish or appetizer here that wasn’t great! Highly recommend!"

"The perfect spot to bring a large group and/or to celebrate any special occasion! I came here with a group of 8 to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and honestly, everything— the food, the service, the ambience and vibes— exceeded my expectations. The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive, and our server brought out a complimentary birthday brownie for my friend at the end. The interior was large and lively, and the ambience felt casual and friendly, yet sophisticated. The food was aromatic, diverse, and flavorful. For 8 people, we ordered the following items, and were quite full and satisfied by the end especially after the paella) especially recommend): Spanish Meatballs “Al Jerez” Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad Iberico Ham Croquetas Spinach and Manchebo Stuffed Mushrooms Patatas Bravas Piri piri fried chicken thighs Goat cheese baked in tomato sauce Farmers market vegetable paella The food was fairly priced, though we did go mainly vegetarian, so the total including tip came out to just $16 per person, split amongst 8. I can definitely see myself coming back with a large group of friends to try out some more of the tapas dishes on the menu! — Price relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5"

"The service was fantastic but the food was just ok. And for the amount of money that we were charged, it just wasn’t worth it. We order three filets, one 8oz and two 4oz, and the two smaller ones were just not good pieces of meat that they tried to dress up. They were so thin that there was a bottom and top but no middle. I noted in the reservation that it was a Special Occasion but that was never acknowledged or even asked about. Last but not least, the wine list was extremely sparse. Surprising if the ‘wine’ is your foundation. I won’t be going back."

"My second time having dinner here and it was excellent again. Had the prime pork chop (honey lavender) with ratatouille and gratin dauphinois. The pork chop may be my favorite pork chop I’ve ever had. Moist and tender, excellent flavor all the way through. We has their fromage (cheese) plate for an appetizer, with a pesto cheese, three-cream Brie, and a blue cheese with grilled bread, raspberry purée, and fig jam. I was so full from dinner I got my dessert (key lime tart) to go. Service was also excellent and the owner regularly walks the dining room to greet and check in with guests. One of our favorite places in the city."

"Easily top 5 best meals ever. Went last Friday for birthday weekend. I had ribeye with bone, hashbrowns, spinach salad. Spouse had pork schnitzel with avocado salad, squash and grasshopper drink. Apps were fried asparagus. Wow! Everything excellent. Then our waiter Shane was amazing. Friendly, attentive and helped us order when asked questions since our first time here. Then found out at the end that this was his second week there. Just Wow! Thank you for the great food and service. We will be back."

"I needed an awesome place to have a bridal shower, guests coming from around the country, where else but to have it at The Metuchen Inn. It was an experience everyone should have. The Beauty, the fabulous food, the service. I can go on and on. I recommend it highly. Thank you METUCHEN INN!!"

"everything was fantastic. we celebrated a birthday in our group, and at the arrival we were greeted with a birthday card signed by the personal, a nice little note. we have learned, however, that they would offer us a free desolation for the birthday recipient, but they have still accused us of their desolation (the only one we have ordered since we have said that they would be free.)"

"Our early Saturday brunch experience was excellent. The food was marvelous. Our waitress was pleasantly attentive. We ordered some to take with us and she brought it out when we were finished along with our nicely boxed leftovers. Just wish Metropole would reopen for breakfast on weekdays."

"Very disappointed. Server had zero personality. Nachos were just ok, no salad, steaks were very fatty, only ate maybe of mine. We had coffee, she dropped the check and never offered anymore coffee. Super disappointing as we were celebrating my husbands birthday"
