    Chicken Madeira
    Veronica M.

    I love everything about this place. The atmosphere was really cool, the service was great, and the food was amazing. It has the best sangria I've ever had in the area. I wasn't expecting the menu to be as phenomenal as it was. It includes polish/Portuguese food and the dishes are delicious. The only problem is parking can be difficult.

    One of my favorite local restaurants! Last few visits fortunate to have the Server Cesar! Cesar is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for the magnificent dining experience! My favorite is the salmon dish! & white sangria! Loved the tiramisu! See you soon!

    You can always count on Abigail's for a great meal! Whether it's date night or dining with a larger group, Abigail's is a place we always come back to. I highly recommend starting with the garlic butter shrimp, so yummy! The grilled skirt steak is excellent and of course, the sangria is a must! Looking forward to nicer weather to dine out on the patio again. And SUPER excited to hear they will be offering brunch soon!!

    Steak with Gorgonzola cheese over pasta! It was soooo good!  The pomegranate champagne sangria was delicious as well!

    Wow!! I've lived in Linden a while now and never stopped by. I decided to celebrate my birthday and was not disappointed! The food and service were A1!! Thank you to all the staff for making our dinner so special! The mayor was also having dinner which was a pleasant surprise! I highly recommend and will definitely be going back again!

    Visiting from out of town and decided to give this place a try and I'm glad that I did. A great mix of Eastern European and American food with great decor. Started off with the Pierogis (half meat and the other half potatoes and cheese). These aren't frozen or made from frozen dough. Very fresh ingredients with fresh pierogi dough. For my entree I had the pork chop (with onions, peppers, and sausage) and the portion was huge. Very fresh and perfectly cooked for a delicious lunch. The service was outstanding even while they had a pretty busy lunch rush. If you're in the area you must give this a try.

    Abigail's food is absolutely delicious. even the bacon cheeseburger has caramelized onions and mushrooms on it. Abigail's also has an outside area for when the weather is nice. it's just so relaxing in there. I never feel rushed. and the waitresses are just so sweet. my mother is handicapped and today the customers and this one young blonde waitress helped me out to my vehicle with my mother. They go above and beyond.

    Vienna schnitzel - very good!

    Pretty large restaurant with a lot of big tables. Met friends for dinner on a Saturday night - total of 9 adults and 2 children. The sangria (order by pitcher) was good but service was just ok. Most of the table never got water after asking multiple times so you can imagine how that ended... (hello hangover) yikes. Food was good. Pirogies and fried calamari were great to share! The veal schnitzel was very good. The Abigail Pear salad "citrus" dressing was no good, very oily with no flavor. The salad has a lot of potential and we really liked the avocado and grilled chicken but that was it! Bill was over $425 which is fine. They didn't split the bill at all and most of us had cash but 2 friends paid using CC. What wasn't fine was over an hour AFTER we LEFT one of our friends gets a call from the restaurant that the waiter made an error and undercharged us? She then was asked to read her CC # over the phone for an additional $40 charge?! WHAT? How absurd! They should have let it go and ate the $40 IMO. It was very awkward and honestly felt really unprofessional. The waiter made the error and somehow it became our problem? Sadly don't think we'll be back as a crew anymore since a few of us were really turned off....maybe the lesson here is would recommend folks pay in CASH? Too bad... really wanted to like this spot.

    Vienna Schnitzel
    Sharon P.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Sometimes it's hard to find a great place when you are from out of town. We ordered from Abigail's favorites list. I had the Vienna schnitzel and hubby had the kielbasa with stuffed cabbage and pierogies. Everything was delicious, even the pickled red cabbage. We sat outside in their covered court yard. It was a very quaint, lovely space to have dinner. But inside seating is just as nice with white table cloths and candles. Very nice and cozy for a night out. Our waitress was pleasant and helpful. Parking is on the street, but learned later that the gas station across the street allows parking for the restaurant as well. If in the area again we will have dinner here again!

    This was my first trip to Abigail's in about 2 years if not more, but let me tell you something, nothing has changed. The food is still phenomenal! I met two old coworkers for lunch, we were all equally satisfied with our food & drinks. The only complaint was our rice was cold, the waiter offered to heat it up, however we declined because we were getting ready to leave. My food was even better as leftovers. My favorite thing about this place is their Sangria, I had the Pomegranate Sangria & my friends had the Mango Sangria. If you are looking for good Sangria, this is the spot, they have a variety of flavors, not just Red or White. As for the price, this restaurant is moderately priced in my opinion and the portions are perfect. I urge you to give Abigail's a try, I don't think you will regret it.

    1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

The main part of the restaurant is cozy and compact. There's a small bar with seating for roughly 10 people at quick glance . Various tables throughout the restaurant along with upstairs loft like tables for a more private experience. lighting was low and the restaurant played music as well ( a mix of hip hop n rnb) overall, it was a vibe . service no complaints at all with service. However, some of the dishes i tried order were already sold out and we were a 730 reservation so i was surprised about that . Food I ordered their " Rasta Pasta w/ Salmon " i was expecting it to be actually spicy and it was devoid of spice. pasta was cooked good though and the veggies were also cooked well. The salmon though was a bit dry for my liking but it wasn't too bad that it was inedible. Overall, i'm glad i tried this spot , however i think the ambience outshines the food here. I'm willing to try other things though to see what else is on their menu and i did see they do have brunch.

    Ou La Restaurant & Bar is the kind of place you want to see succeed. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe service was warm, professional and genuinely attentive. Our entire party wasn't there yet, but we were seated anyway, which I really appreciated. The staff checked in on us consistently without being overbearing, and while we waited for the rest of our party, we were asked if we wanted a drink. That small gesture stood out to me because a lot of restaurants will make you wait until everyone arrives before they even offer you anything. Here, they made us feel welcomed right away. Now, the food. We ordered the steak and eggs, island oxtail burrito, island burger with egg, and I decided to make my own combination. I ordered the Ou La wings and asked if I could get a side of diri jon jon (Haitian black mushroom rice). They were happy to accommodate the request, and everyone enjoyed their meals. One thing that really impressed me was how quickly an issue with the steak was handled. The steak had been ordered medium well, but came out well done. It was mentioned, and once it was brought to the chef's attention, the chef came back just a couple of minutes later with the steak prepared the way it was originally requested. A big deal wasn't made about it, so the fact that he took the initiative to correct it so quickly said a lot to me about how seriously they take their customers and food. And then there was the kremas! I noticed that they had a cocktail called Café Kremas, which is essentially an espresso version of a traditional kremas. It sounded interesting, but I really wanted to try the kremas by itself. I asked, and they were more than happy to accommodate me. Again, that willingness to listen and make the customer happy really stood out. The ambiance is beautiful. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, from the aesthetics to the layout. There's a separate bar area, and you can actually see the chefs working and preparing the food, which adds to the experience. Ou La is doing something special. The food was good, the atmosphere is beautiful, but what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was pleasant, attentive, professional, and clearly focused on making sure the customers were taken care of. If you're thinking about eating at this restaurant, I'm telling you to do it. Support this business and tip well. We need more restaurants that understand great food is only part of the experience. Customer service is important, and Ou La gets that. There is metered parking directly in front of the restaurant. If those spots are full, there's additional parking in the lot behind the restaurant near the church. I would also suggest making a reservation, especially if you're planning to go during a busy brunch or dinner service.

    I really wanted to like this place, and I did, for some aspects…read more The food was delicious. The flavors were all incredible, from appetizer to dessert. We had the short rib empanadas, which were crispy and fully of meat. They were definitely the highlight of the night! The rasta pasta was good, but it came out warm and with few shrimp. The flavors were still excellent, however. The carrot cake for dessert was moist and not too sweet, which I prefer! The space was also super clean and well maintained. What really disappointed me was the service. We had a reservation, but had to wait to be seated even with plenty of open tables. That's normally not a big deal for us, but we had an event to get to tonight, so we were in more of a rush. Someone came to us to ask what water we wanted after 10 minutes of being sat, after which the hostess came back over to us to apologize that our server hasn't come over yet and asked if we would like water. Much more time passes and someone (still not our server) comes to ask us if everything is alright. We explain that no one has taken our order, which she apologized for and took our order for us. She then had to come back over because she forgot to include what protein we picked for our pasta. Finally, our server came over to us. We explained that we had already ordered. More hiccups continued throughout the night, including a long wait for the check, never being brought a dessert menu after asking, etc. I'm not one to complain about service, I just think they could be more efficient. At the time we arrived, there were only a few other tables seated in our area. It wasn't super busy, and there were a lot of people working. We overheard staff whispering about who was supposed to be taking care of us, and it still took time for someone to come over and help us. I think the staff knew we overheard or were disappointed in the service, because our dessert was free, and we received a bread basket as well. I'd love to give them another chance, just maybe not if I have plans after.
