    Chicken wrap
    Halie E.

    First timer here and it was good, loved the nachos (1/2 order) and the buffalo chicken wrap was solid with truffle fries. Didn't get to try the burgers but it's next on my list. Good service and not hard to get a table on a Friday night

    Nice place. Gives me that after work type feeling place. That social, friendly atmospheric type place. The menu has good choices to select from. Nothing really out of the usual. But what they do. They do right. The staff was good. You can tell the wait staff looked out for each other, which keeps the customers attended to. I had the turkey club and it was really good. They weren't stingy with the meat either. Fresh and filling. The chicken quesadillas my friend had was good. More cheese than chicken, good. This is a nice place to stop in if you are walking around this busy area and want to stop for a bite. Parking on the street is nearly impossible at any time. But there's a parking lot nearby you can park in. Overall, it was a good choice to have lunch at.

    Lobster Roll and Taco Bell

    I was passing through on the way to see a friend in Morristown when I stopped by this place. It was 98degrees outside but the inside was as cool as the other side of the pillow. Had a lobster roll which was delish and a taco that was super tasty. Washed it down with a cold draft beer from the tap. Friendly atmosphere and very attentive service. If it was a cooler day I could have eaten outside and caught the pulse of downtown Madison. Definitely going back there when I'm in the area.

    Good meal again at 54 main. I hope this keeps staying solid. In the past the meals can be really good or just ok. Lately the kitchen has been on!

    My second time coming here. The first time I came with my sister and ordered the hummus platter and pork belly tacos. Those were phenomenal. The hummus platter was perfect for warm weather and those pork belly tacos. I'm still dreaming about them. I also had the summer spritz which was refreshing! Our server was the sweetest and made sure we were OK and if we needed anything. Outdoor seating recommended! I came here today with three girlfriends for brunch. We had the same server I had last time, and still super sweet! (I'd give her a 5 stars if just rating her service to us!) we got there a little after opening, and we were told they didn't have pancakes and then after ordering were told they didn't have chilaquiles either so we had to reorder - which was fine but confused because we were told they weren't serving them anymore? Wished they still had those pork belly tacos though! Best part was the fact the drinks were strong. We got the Bellini martini, which made everything better

    Madison is one of my favorite Jersey towns and we happened to be here on a Saturday afternoon. With some time to kill, my wife and I stopped in at 54 Main and ordered drinks at the bar. There's a nice beer selection and plenty of TV's providing a fun atmosphere. We decided to stick around and ordered the nachos appetizer which was delicious. We'd definitely stop back here. There's a large seating area in the room next to the bar, but the bar was perfect for us this day!

    This restaurant is nestled in the heart of Madison's downtown. Parking seems to be limited to street parking. I ordered the chipotle, barbecue burger, and it definitely had quite a kick. I can tolerate mild spice, but this one was a little overwhelming. The fries had a little too much salt. The French onion soup was outstanding. It looks like there was a mix of cheeses and they definitely added to the appetizer. The service was good. There are several televisions throughout the restaurant to watch various sporting events. We were at a side booth, and the angle to see the television was not ideal. Our experience was good.

    The current state of this place is getting better, but needs time and additional staff. My experience here for the first time was not that good. I visited this lace for dinner with some friends and they had a nice set up. We sat outside and our waitress took our drink order. A few minutes passed and we received our drinks and placed our order. It took some tome , but appetizers came out. We did not get any utensils so I had to go in to get some. After this we waited a pretty long tome to get our entre (which was mediocre at best. Fries were good, but the one thing we had not seen in over an hour was our waitress. Additionally none of the other wait staff came to check on us. This quick meal took more than 2 hours and we felt that the staff just forgot about us. Some were too enthralled by a woman and her cute dog. The drinks were awesome and a must get when you visit. The foo itself is okay and your typical bar food. Nachos are also great. The pierogis and steak could be better. Apparently our waitress had left earlier that evening and nobody replaced her despite her having us as a table. I was pretty impressed with the drinks, but not too impressed with the help. It is understandable that many places are short staffed, but to just leave a table in the middle of serving and not tell anyone is ridiculous. This is a great place to go to with excellent drinks, but my first experience here wasn't too good. Things will definitely get better but for now I will wait until staffing issues are resolved.

    I visited here on a Friday afternoon after work with my coworkers. It was my 2nd time here. We walked in and almost left because we didn't see a hostess and no one attended to us until we walked around looking for someone. We were seated our waitress Sarah was great; attentive and funny. Everything we ordered was amazing. The margaritas are so good and big. I will definitely be returning here as it is near my job.

I enjoyed a delectable dinner last night that was wonderful from start to finish. The figtastic martini was addictive! It was the perfect combination of fig flavored vodka, pomegranate juice, elderflower liqueur and fresh lemon. For starters, I tried the spinach and artichoke dip that was topped with crispy bacon that wasn't greasy. Also, I tried garlic parmesan pretzel sticks with a really tasty cheese sauce. For my entree, I had a delicious burger that was cooked perfectly and was accompanied by fries that weren't greasy. The burger and fries was a sizable portion, but I still managed to make room for dessert. The brownie with ice cream that I had was fantastic, but I absolutely will order the house-made bread budding that my friend said was to die for! Our server, Erick, was attentive, knowledgeable and very pleasant. I will absolutely be back, particularly for that bread pudding!

Harlee's has an amazing cocktail menu, and plenty of beer on tap which is great while you're watching a game at the bar. Their signature appetizers are a must have. The roasted brussel sprouts are caramelized and crispy and loaded with bacon. I loved their crispy chicken wings with sweet chili sauce, which hit the perfect sweet heat combo. The French onion soup was perfection, probably my favorite of the night, with rich savory broth that truly warmed up my cold January night. The ahi tuna bites were fresh, light, and zesty. And not something you see often at a gastropub! When I saw disco fries on the menu, you know this Jersey girl had to get some and let me tell you, they were everything I hoped for and more. We got the pioneer burger and the big bleu burger. They were charred beautifully yet still so juicy and tender. The onion rings they came with were delicious and crispy! The waffles with ice cream ended dinner on a sweet note, with ice cream from Zita's topped perfectly on the fluffy golden waffles. This place has great food, great energy, the kindest staff, and the cutest pictures of dogs on the wall to top it all off. If you're visiting new Providence, Harlee's is a must stop!!
