"beautiful ambiente, warm, friendly staff, from the reservation (btw, they called me before our reservation to ask if we want to be up with the music), to be greeted by the hostess. our server therese was great, helpful in choosing our dinner, explaining how the food is prepared and where it comes from. the wine “sommelier” mckendrick was excellent, took the time to discuss our wine selection and even send a second bottle, with their supplements. we will return the next weekend, and highly recommend to anyone who wants a unique, delicious truly welcoming culinary experience, not this jewel in hope, new jersey up."
