The vibe and location of this restaurant is awesome. With a split bar and fine dining area, there's…read morea lot of opportunity to meet people at this restaurant, no matter the occasion. My biggest issue though was the food quality. I ordered the halibut dish- the fish was high-quality but it was drenched in a big "puddle" of olive oil that made it much richer than it needed to be. The vegetables (including cauliflower and green beans) were a nice combination but did not have much taste to them. The butternut squash soup was good and elegant looking but nothing unique. For the price of each dish and the quality of food provided, I doubt I'll return. Overall a a very average experience but, granted, it may have just been an "off-night" for them.

The ambiance fit the name perfectly -- subtle hints of blue throughout that tied right back to "d'Azur." We started with a glass of bubbly and focaccia served with three spreads -- the olive tapenade stood out over the butter. For the first course, I had the duck confit salad -- the duck portion itself ran a little light, but the flavor balance was excellent: sweetness from the strawberries, bitterness from the arugula, saltiness from the goat cheese, and umami depth from the duck confit. It's BYOB, we brought both red and white wine to pair across the meal. The table shared the Branzino with French chard, which was outstanding, and the steak frites, which was exceptional and perfect medium rare. I had the duck breast with mushroom, paired with a Pinot Noir -- a great match, and that same Pinot Noir worked beautifully with the steak too. To finish, we shared three desserts: crème brûlée, chocolate truffles with strawberry and pistachio, and a cognac cake topped with a chocolate whipped mousse, walnuts, and strawberry. Tough call on a favorite, but the cognac cake stole the show. Throughout dessert, the staff kept checking in without ever feeling intrusive -- a small thing, but it stood out. A great night out with drink, food, and cousins from start to finish. The service alone is worth going back for. Highly recommend.

This place has been on my radar for a few years but I never had a reason to go. I recently decided…read moreto come here for a wedding anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service and the food quality. Started off with oysters, wine and fresh bread. I could tell that the butter was house made and asked for extra because it was that good. Had the beef duo as the main course. I found it to be satisfying and also much better value than the steak frites. All of the items I received were very detail oriented and as well as fresh. We were seated on one side on the restaurant that I believe was blocked off for more special occasions. The other side of the restaurant seemed to have tables placed more closely to one another.

I love how we were greeted with energy and they were truly happy to see us. This walk to our upstairs table was like getting a tour. We requested a table that would allow us to have easy conversation with our friends who were joining. And it was a great table, looking down on the main dining room. The only real dig I had was the lack of lighting upstairs. I literally could not see the beauty of my dishes because it was too dark. There was a flickering light above us which was taped over, but I do think they need to reconsider whether it's bigger candles, or even some type of table lighting. Wines by the glass, would have hoped for a bigger selection. The white cranberry cosmo was terrific. Great menu! French traditional favorites coupled with a creative collection of Spanish and Italian dishes as well. Chicken, beef, and super great choices of fish. I honestly didn't spend time looking at appetizers as I went right to the salads and entrees. And yes, interesting creative selection of salads. I had a beet and hummus salad. My wife had a kale and grapefruit salad and there were others to choose from, with the exception of no Caesar nor plain house for the boring pallet. I had scallops and pistachios and it was very good. There was branzino and also a beef duo of flank steak and oxtail ordered. All the dishes were really well prepared, seasoned and beautifully presented. Again, I would have enjoyed seeing what was on my fork for each bite. Dessert menu was okay. I thought a bit overpriced and just not overly appealing. Too many caramel offerings, and not enough diversity. We did offer their version of a chocolate lava cake but it was like a tapas portion of dessert. It was good, but 3 bites worth, hardly shareable. It would be unfair not to mention the great service. Our waiter was chill, let us chat away for over 3 hours. Never felt rushed and all his helpers knew exactly who was getting what. Well done .... I'd go back in a heartbeat.

An excellent way to ring in my Womb Exit Anniversary. My top-tier chum who literally went to the…read moreschool of hospitality brought me here last Sunday for a birthday dinner. I picked it knowing the solid rep of Jessica's Cafe in Plainfield, so I can't say I was stunned to find out this was awesome - but given the expectations coming in, this probably even slightly exceeded them. Pretty cool. This was literally my first time in Fanwood, unless you count taking the Raritan Valley Line through here to Hunterdon County back in the day (I don't think it counts). The weather was a little iffy throughout the day, which I'm assuming played a factor in the town feeling a little desolate when we showed up. It reminds me a lot of the Newport neighborhood in JC - super, super gentrified. Maybe it's just the section where Jessica's is though, right across the street from the train station. We parked over there, not entirely sure if that was naughty or not, but given our outdoor seating, we easily could have peeped a cop or tow truck driver before anything terrible happened (I think it was fine, given it was a Sunday night). All that to say though, I'm not entirely sure where the ideal parking is if it's not at the train station. We were only in the restaurant for a minute (enough time to ogle a fridge or freezer of tasty looking meat to the right of the entrance), so I can't speak to the spiffiness of the interior. Even though rain was a possibility, it seemed worth the risk to stay outside due to the temps and large umbrellas. No regrets in that regard. We were seated promptly and ordered shortly thereafter, while also receiving some decent bread and butter with a bit of olive oil drizzle. Quite tasty. Somehow it's become an informal tradition, but if it's on the menu we usually get the Grilled Octopus. One of the better ones we've had. Nice and crispy (texture to me is the key to this one) and seasoned well. The accompanying potatoes were a nice touch to the proceedings - would totally get this again. A lot of the other apps looked good too, but someone accidentally made me birthday weenies on the grill earlier, so I couldn't get QUITE as frisky as I normally would. Both of us gave the lamb a long, hard look (and my chum wondered aloud about the ribeye special for the rest of the evening - possibly the one that got away) but I ultimately went with my classic Short Ribs entree. Delicious. Tender, flavorful and the perfect serving size. I was a little nervous that a puree versus mashed would mean the potatoes were too wet or liquidy, but not the case at all - they maintained their relatively solid integrity as far as I was concerned. I forgot to take a picture of dessert, but I got the Creme Brule. Also excellent, and at the perfect temp. I think there may have been a birthday musical accompaniment with that, but it's all a blur. Arguably just as good if not better was the service. Our waiter was super personable and professional, stopping by regularly and just added a hospitable touch to the meal that brought this to the upper echelon for me. Service is king, and it matters - you can't take for granted the ability of your server to essentially riff for two minutes on their menu knowledge, as well as just good-natured banter. Had that in spades. Coming back for sure - Womb Exit Anniversary or not.

My wife had looked at reviews elsewhere beforehand, which were overwhelmingly favorable and why we gave this place a go. Bad reviews on YELP? Those did not define our experience. We ate here on August 28, 2026 for the first time. We will return and probably many times. That was our experience. Really shocked at some of the harsh reviews here and I have to question what motivated those. Anyway..... Not BYOB. It has a lively bar scene. Asking the wait staff about it we are informed many regulars will always choose to eat in the barroom. We dined at a nice table on the main floor of what appears to be a converted residence of two floors. We felt it was a very lovely setting with very attentive staff and ample parking in their dedicated lot to the side and rear. We started with the caviar tasting and a half bottle of one of their several NV French champagnes. These were expertly presented. A constructive criticism would be to add more than the crème fraiche and petite pancakes as accoutrements. However, this small tasting was otherwise a really pleasant opening. For appetizers my wife chose the wild shrimp, which were excellent and I went with the corn chowder, which was likewise top notch. For the main my wife chose the burger with fries and I chose two additional appetizers, the short rib tortellini and the crab cake. All of these impressed when paired with a half bottle of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The tortellini were the standout of these and wished a full order was offered as a main and not just available as a small appetizer. I'll add the bread offerings with room temperature butter were a pleasing start. However, being sated after the aforementioned courses we skipped desserts. Seriously, cannot fathom the few very negative reviews and suggest those be dismissed to allow you to try the place for yourself. All in, this was a $400 tab, but over half of that were the two half bottles and the caviar. It's actually a very reasonably priced restaurant, given the service, setting, and fare.

The starters came out three minutes after we placed them, which was odd. They start the meal off with a choice of one of their breads. I went with the focaccia, and it was tremendous. It was soft with a tomato flavor on the outside. For starters, the octopus ($24) and cauliflower steak ($20) was ordered. The octopus came grilled with potatoes, preserved lemon, and Niçoise olives. This was solid. The octopus was tender and flavorful. The potatoes were tasty as well. My only issue was the amount of olives as there were only two present. There was a very strong lemon flavor too. I liked it, but at times, it felt like too much. The cauliflower steak had a lemon-soy emulsion, tomatoes, cucumbers, and capers. The cauliflower was perfectly cooked and there appeared to be a lot of butter used here. The tomatoes, cucumbers, and capers were a nice addition to complement the cauliflower. For an entrée, I had the tuna ($44). It came with haricot verts, avocado, coconut sticky rice, and a soy-ginger vinaigrette. This dish was very good except the tuna. The flavor was good, but it was not very tender and was a tad overcooked. The sticky rice was the highlight here along with the vinaigrette. I also tried the lamb dish that came with delicata squash, Brussel sprouts, potato gnocchi, and a romesco sauce. This was great. The lamb was cooked to a perfect medium rare while the gnocchi and squash were creative additions. For dessert, the warm chocolate tart ($15) was ordered. It came with pecan crust, praline, and vanilla ice cream. I never saw a pecan crust with a chocolate tart and I enjoyed it. The chocolate tart was gooey while being very rich, but light at the same time. The vanilla ice cream was definitely needed. Will I go back? I would.

Disappointing experience for Mother's Day brunch. We called to inquire what they would be offering for Mother's Day brunch, and they said a $35 prix fixe. When we arrived, they had changed it to a la carte, which wound up costing far more (they should've called when they decided to change, so we could have decided whether we still wanted to come). When we arrived, the greeting was friendly and we were promptly seated and our coffee orders taken. Coffees didn't show up for about 10 minutes, which wasn't a big deal. Jam was put on the table and we were told a bread basket would be brought momentarily. We had to ask for it twice, and the bread basket finally came 10-15 minutes later. Plates of fruit, which were included, were brought promptly and were pretty good. It took what felt inordinately long for our entrees to come. Two orders of steak and eggs actually arrived as steak only, no eggs. We had to ask for our eggs, and they were brought out separately some time later. The eggs in the eggs benedict were overcooked - very solid in the middle. A lobster omelette, which cost $26, had very little lobster (and not sure it was fresh vs. canned) and was borderline cold when it arrived. It took a while after finishing for our plates to be cleared. It took a while after that to get the dessert menus. After we were given the dessert menus, almost a half hour passed without our dessert orders being taken - we basically just sat there waiting. We intended to order dessert, but eventually asked for the check, paid, and left. Overall, very disappointing, especially since it was a special occasion. My wife called later in the day to express disappointment, and the hostess said she was too busy to speak but would call my wife back. She never called back - very poor form. In fairness, my wife ate dinner at Cafe Monet on a prior occasion and thought everything was very good. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but overpriced and subpar food, coupled with poor service, left a very bad impression. read more

It was a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Main Street. We were seated right by the window, which offered beautiful natural lighting. The music was great and played at just the right volume, allowing us to enjoy conversations without having to speak over it. Our server, Isabella, was fantastic! She took the time to understand our flavor preferences and recommended dishes that were right up our alley. Shortly after being seated, we received a complimentary breadbasket accompanied by a house-made sun-dried tomato oil/jam combination. Oh my goodness, was that delicious! It added such a bright, flavorful touch to the savory bread. Now, onto the entrées, because every single one was equally delicious! Trofie Pistachio: A shrimp dish tossed in a refreshing lemon-pistachio pesto. It was light, bright, and absolutely delicious! This was a flavor combination I never would have thought to pair together (I'm no chef, LOL), but boy, did it work!!! Pistachio-Crusted Salmon: This dish came with blanched spinach, served over a bed of creamy butternut squash risotto, with a balsamic reduction surrounding the plate. The salmon was cooked to medium, beautifully seasoned, and complemented the risotto perfectly. The risotto itself was creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. Such a lovely combination! Fettuccine Bolognese: A traditional dish featuring a fresh, homemade Bolognese sauce. And let me tell you, this was a FULL plate! My fiancé was starving, and this dish delivered both the flavor and the generous portion he was looking for. He was one happy camper! Chicken Gregorio: Now, MY dish... OH. MY. LORD. Where do I even begin?! This dish was so bright, vibrant, and full of flavor. I mean, I genuinely smiled with every bite! I am notorious for never finishing my meals, BUT THIS ONE?! Holy cow. I couldn't get enough! It was hands down my absolute favorite. We had been on vacation for a week, enjoying all sorts of food, and this dish easily became the culinary highlight of our entire trip. THAT'S how good it was!!! Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive. Their descriptions of the dishes were spot on, and you could tell they genuinely cared about creating a great dining experience. We also learned that Gregorio's has been a local staple for over 20 years, and after dining here, I can absolutely understand why! From the atmosphere to the service and, of course, the delicious food, this place was SOLID. Safe to say, Gregorio's will officially become a new family tradition for us.

We arrived at 6:35 p.m. and chose to sit on the Terrazza so we could enjoy the live band. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow from the start. It took about 15 minutes before our waitress came to take our drink order, and another 15 minutes before our drinks arrived. We were enjoying the music, so we didn't mind waiting at first. We understood that restaurants get busy and were happy to be patient. Our order wasn't anything complicated. We ordered a salad and a sandwich, which made the wait even more surprising. We had tickets to an 8:15 movie, so around 7:30 we started getting concerned that our food still hadn't arrived. Even then, we didn't complain. At 8:00 p.m., we simply flagged down our waitress, explained that we had to leave, and politely asked her to cancel the remainder of our order. She apologized, took my credit card, and said she would take care of it. While we were waiting, we saw at least two other tables cancel their orders and ask for their checks after experiencing similar delays. About an hour and a half after we had been seated, our food finally arrived, even though we had already canceled it. We told the servers we no longer wanted it. By then, another 15 minutes had passed since we had given the waitress our credit card, yet we still hadn't received our check. We finally walked over to the bar to ask what was going on. That's when we learned our waitress had been holding onto our check so she could add the food to it. We explained, again, that we had canceled the order before it was ever served and would not be paying for meals we never received. Instead of understanding why we were frustrated after waiting over 90 minutes, she responded with attitude, which was honestly the most disappointing part of the evening. The manager overheard the conversation, apologized for the delay, but that was the extent of it. No offer to comp our drinks or appetizer, no attempt to make up for the experience, and no acknowledgment that we had spent over an hour and a half at the restaurant and left without the meal we came for. During that entire time, we received one round of drinks and an appetizer. No one offered another round of drinks, or provided any meaningful updates about our food. I understand that restaurants have difficult nights, and if the only issue had been a long wait, I probably wouldn't be writing this review. What made this experience so disappointing was how it was handled. We were patient from the moment we sat down, and simply asked to cancel our order because we had another commitment. After all of that, being met with attitude for refusing to pay for food that arrived only after we had canceled it, and seeing no real effort from the restaurant to make things right left us feeling like our experience simply didn't matter. We were genuinely excited to find a new local restaurant after moving to South Orange. Instead, our first visit was so disappointing that it will also be our last.

She works the dining room like you're a guest in their home and takes such good care of everyone. BYOB is a fantastic little perk, too!
