This was my first visit to the Skylark Diner. My daughters and I are big breakfast people, so we…read moredecided to try somewhere different from our usual spots. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and shown to our booth. We noticed welcome balloons throughout the dining room and quickly realized it was the diner's first day under new ownership. Normally, we have a three-month rule before trying a restaurant that's under new management, but by then we were already seated, so we decided to give it a chance. The brunch menu had everything you'd expect from a classic diner, with a few creative twists. My daughter ordered the corned beef hash with eggs over easy, home fries, and white toast. I couldn't pass up their unique take on Eggs Benedict, which featured corned beef hash instead of the traditional Canadian bacon, served with home fries. Everything arrived exactly as ordered, hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Congratulations to the new owner on opening day! We wish you nothing but success and look forward to coming back again. If you're looking for a classic diner breakfast with friendly service, Skylark Diner is definitely worth checking out.

Maria's got a glow-up, y'all!…read more The old spot was cute. It was cozy. It was also... tiny. For a place this popular, finding a table on the weekend felt like winning the lottery. But now? SO much more room to breathe. Maria's moved into the old Latin Port space at 87 Central Ave, and they've been in the new location for about two months now. You can actually walk in, have a seat, and not feel like you've accidentally walked into someone's living room. I popped in today for a quick latte to go and went with a hot Coko Loko (that's latte with coconut syrup and a lil' hint of choc). And just when I thought I was done, I got this little surprise at the end: fresh coconut flakes in the final sips. If you're a coconut person, you'll want to try this one!

I was also excited that they moved to a bigger, brighter space. There's ample parking in the back or street parking which are refreshing changes compared to the old location. *FOOD* The menu has something for everyone, from classic breakfast staples to more creative brunch options. Come hungry -- the portions are generous and everything tasted fresh and made to order. I highly recommend trying their seasonal tiramisu latte (I seriously would order this everyday if I could) and their Tex-Fast Bowl which was decadently delicious. The drink was creamy with a hint of sweetness and definitely lived up to its name. If you're not a brunch lover, they also have other options like burgers, wraps, house specialties, quesadillas, and much much more! *SERVICE* Staff was friendly and welcoming, though the pace could use some improvement which I'm sure they'll figure out over time as they just recently set up in this space. Overall, Maria's Brunch is a great spot in Metuchen that's definitely worth visiting!

Very small vegan joint with great food…read more I had the Cucu sandwich with coleslaw, apples, vegan chicken, caramelized onions, and pickles. Very tasty. My daughter had a mango hibiscus lemonade that she enjoyed. She ate the Just Egg BC Bagel and liked it.

Their eggplant BBQ skewers also packed flavor and was not expected. The highlight for us was the oyster mushrooms, and surprisingly the layered potatoes.  Share some mocktails on a warm summer evening to fit the vibe just right

They brought out the food within 10 minutes. Everything was accurate fresh and looked as good as it taste. Frequently checked on ice and make sure everything was tasting good and that we didn't eat anything else towards the end of our meal. The manager came over and made jokes with us and checked on us to insure we had a positive experience. Vibe: good restaurant for families, birthdays, elders, parties, kids, handicap accessible. Music is a good volume, not overbearing to where you can't have a conversation.

Everything on the menu is so good. Can not explain it any other way. The staff that I have had have always been attentive and friendly. Only strike against them is they do not allow you to call and get take out. You literally have to sit down at a table or the bar. Order and they bring everything on plates and then they can bring you to go containers. Crazy but that's how it is. I will always recommend this place.

If I could leave zero stars, I would!…read more We ordered the afternoon tea for five people ($35pp). A few of us have dietary restrictions (fish and nuts) and clearly stated them. We asked for anything with fish be served on a separate plate. The waiter agreed to do so. We got the teas first. They added 50% sweetness to two pots of tea without asking if we wanted the tea sweet. It was pretty much undrinkable unless you were a hummingbird. We waited over an hour for the food, with mostly undrinkable tea (though the waiter did bring a few paper cups of water), and we actually had to flag down the waiter to ask when we were going to get our food. When it came, all the salmon was intermingled with the rest of the food on the same plate. There were some cucumber sandwiches and some sliced cucumbers just sitting on the plate on no bread because it was multi-grain and had seeds, NOT NUTS! The cucumber slices were next to salmon slices, also on no bread. Unfortunately, the salmon was touching just about everything on the plate, so those of us with restrictions couldn't eat most of the meal. Not only was this disappointing, it was also dangerous for people with life threatening food allergies. All in all, it was almost 2 hours for a simple afternoon tea. The lack of regard and respect for people with life threatening allergies is a disgrace. The atmosphere is nice but the service and food were terrible. Such a disappointing experience for a couple of our group who had never experienced a formal afternoon tea, and for those of us who regularly do afternoon tea.....we're just disgusted.
