Comments: Plenty of parking in a city where spots are at
a premium. For an end of summer Tuesday night, This place
was packed. Wait for a table approx 15-20 minutes, but the
downstairs lounge bar helps that time pass quickly. Decor
elegant, albeit targeting an older Jersey crowd. Multiple
floors provide ample seating. Service up to par; waiter friendly,
but unable to offer commentary on wine selections. As to be
expected, the menu offered a variety of seafood and pasta
dishes, with limited chicken and meat entrees. Your reviewers
sampled the special (mahi mahi) and the Seafood Linguine ;
no complaints, but nothing remarkable. Limited vegetarian
options.
Cons: Not exactly a younger crowd.
Pros: Alcohol served, good parking.
Bill for 2 people: (2 drinks, 1 appetizer,
2 entrees plus tip) $80
Overall Impression: Decent food, a bit overpriced,
targets an 'older' Jersey crowd.

Comments: After calling ahead at 8pm on a Saturday night, we
were told there was an hour wait. When we arrived at 9pm, we
were seated almost immediately. Friendly Service, Excellent
food. Entrees creative, delicious, wonderfully presented and
perfectly cooked. We sampled the popular Chefs Special; Sea
Bass and guacamole, served with julienned veggies. Be forewarned;
big portions - you'll be bringing home leftovers as it is, so
skip the appetizers. Limited vegetarian options.
Cons: Be prepared to wait for a table.
Pros: BYOB, big portions.
Bill for 2 people: (2 appetizers, 2 entrees,
1 dessert plus tip) $96
Overall Impression: Very good food, friendly
service, a locals' favorite
