Fish and chips
Jenny R.

We were looking for a location to celebrate after my Daughter's graduation. She wanted Oysters. So this place came up in our search. It had good reviews so we took a chance. We were not disappointed. The oysters were fresh. All our plates were delicious. Everyone finished their food. We were 11 people and the service was excellent. It was during the day and it was not crowded. Many of us have intentions of returning. It is BYOB. There is street parking or a parking deck behind the restaurant that is not expensive.

Shrimp stuffed with crab special Very good
Jim S.

Great BYOB seafood restaurant. Always pretty consistent food and always very good. I like that they continue to change the menu slightly while keeping some of their regular dishes.

Swordfish
Gerald N.

Came on a weeknight and the restaurant was pretty full. There is close seating inside with a variety of options available. Service was fast and friendly. They allowed us to order a bottle of wine from the store next door (BYOB) and went out to get it! Swordfish - Delicious, soft, not too salty, goes well with the salad Overall, I recommend coming for seafood at least once! I will be back!

Octopus
Sam B.

This has been on my radar, and it was exceptional. I Started with the octopus which was very well cooked and not too rubbery and then my salmon was a nice medium rare. The pineapple rice added much needed acidity that usually comes from something like a lemon and was a very nice pairing with the salmon. Service started off a bit slow, but once they got going it was great. Not too invasive but as attentive as I'd hope for. I'd definitely come back. Overall 4.7/5

Before I wrote this update, I reread my earlier review. Everything in my initial review remains…read morethe same, except one. The hummus is no longer a standard served to every table without cost. They still serve the pita and olives, but hummus is now an extra. You can thank Trump for that extra cost as per the response to our inquiry. We've now dined here several more times. It's a favorite, as it's consistently excellent. Our most recent meal was an order of hummus, which is ample for 2-4 people, the beet salad and the special crab cake appetizer, which was better than any I've had all year. Seriously exquisite. While we've sampled many of the menus main courses, all of which we have enjoyed, we went with two orders of our favorite, the tiger prawns, as they were said to be extra, extra large this evening. Served with tasty sautéed spinach and fries, which we were graciously permitted to substitute for the lemon potatoes. The tiger prawns are beyond great. Simply delicious and must be experienced. Better than lobster and rival any type of superior crab or any shellfish. Call ahead to be sure they have them when you plan to dine. This place is not to be missed.

Walking into EVOO & Lemon at 645pm on a Saturday night and seeing exactly one other table occupied…read moregave us momentary pause. Despite the moderately upscale ambiance and clean, contemporary aesthetic, the emptiness made us wonder: did we miss a memo? Was there a sudden local embargo on Mediterranean food? Luckily, the dining room eventually filled up, saving us from eating our dinner in a complete echo chamber. My dining companion and I started off with the Hummus appetizer ($11) served with a modest side of toasted pita. It was tasty and definitely hit the spot. We both decided to keep things light and ordered salads with a side of grilled salmon. I went with the Marouli salad ($16) -- crisp romaine lettuce, dill, and scallions with a lemon-olive oil dressing -- and my companion chose the Greek Village salad ($19), a shepherd-style salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, Holland peppers, feta cheese, olives, and Greek dressing. Both were fresh, well-prepared, and hit the mark. The salmon was also delicious, which is a good thing, because it came with an $18 upcharge that was not listed on the printed menu. For dessert, we ordered the baklava ($13), three pieces of an already intensely sweet treat that had apparently been subjected to an excessive dusting of powdered sugar. As for the service, our server and the food runners were competent but not overly friendly towards us or other diners. I also noticed that the staff tended to take care of tables out of order in which they were seated.. resulting in diners who arrived after us being served before us. Overall, it's a perfectly fine 3-star experience. I'd gladly go back if someone else was picking the spot, but if I'm the one in charge of dinner plans, I'll probably cast my net elsewhere in the area. PRO TIP #1: Bring a bottle of wine or beer from home or stop at the Wine Shop liquor store located on the opposite corner of the intersection of Main Street and Millburn Avenue for some adult beverages to enjoy with your meal. EVOO & Lemon is a BYOB establishment and does not serve alcohol. PRO TIP #2: EVOO & Lemon does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of on-street parking and municipal lots nearby. Use the mPay2Park app for the pay-by-plate meters ($0.50 per hour). Meters operate Monday through Saturday from 8am to 7pm; all street meters are free after 7 pm and all day Sunday. If the street is full, the Essex Street parking deck (24 Lackawanna Place) is a reliable backup.

Yummy! Authentic Spanish food and hospitality. Went for lunch one day just by happenstance. Wanted…read moreto try some authentic dishes-- not paella, since so many places offer that. Got the soupy rice dish (forget the name) with shrimp. SO satisfying! They offer complimentary soup ahead of your entree, along with bread. It was hard not to overeat! Huge portions too, btw. Very generous. Sat at the bar. Bartender was hard working, serving all the customers who were sitting at the bar as well as keeping up with bar needs. Very friendly. Looks like the place can get busy for dinner so probably best to make reservations.

After so many years of coming to this restaurant and loving it every single time, I can't believe…read moreI'm leaving this review. I'm not sure if it was because it was midweek or if the chef was simply off his game on this night, but the experience was disappointing overall. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was that my knife was dirty. I ended up taking another knife from a different table. The ambiance, as always, was wonderful, and there were only two other tables occupied, so the restaurant was not busy at all. They started us off with soup, and it was chicken noodle soup. I was honestly very disappointed. When I go to a Spanish restaurant, especially one like this, I expect something traditional like caldo gallego or a similar house soup -- not chicken noodle soup that I could easily make at home. For appetizers, we ordered shrimp in garlic sauce and calamari. Both were absolutely delicious and honestly the highlight of the meal. We also had to ask the waiter for bread, and when it finally arrived, we were each given one very small roll. Our main entrées were sautéed tilapia and shrimp in lemon sauce with mashed potatoes and string beans, and breaded veal cutlet Milanese with mushrooms in a wine and brandy sauce over mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, neither entrée stood out the way meals here usually do. The tilapia was sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes and absolutely swimming in lemon sauce. There was so much sauce that it completely soaked the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I could only eat the top portion of the fish. My husband also mentioned that his breaded veal was very oily. The waiter never returned to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. The water had no ice and felt warm. We also had to ask for additional bread. I'm used to bread being left at the table, not rationed piece by piece. When the waiter asked if we enjoyed our meal, I politely explained that I did not care for mine and why, especially since most of it was left untouched. He looked at me like I had ten heads. I truly hate writing this because this restaurant has been one of my favorites for years, but this visit just did not live up to the standard I've come to expect.

After our Labor Day 70mm screening of the Odyssey in King of Prussia was abruptly cancelled, my…read moretop-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I were a bit glum and needed a pick-me-up. Bougie steakhouses usually do the trick, so we called around to a few nearby ones on our way back and Roots was thankfully open. Off we went down the PA Turnpike and ultimately into Summit. I have a passing familiarity with Roots; I knew a co-worker years ago who was really into it (not sure if it was this location or the Morristown one) but this was a first visit for both of us. Summit is not always the best to drive around in on a weekend but thankfully most people seemed to be down the shore and we were able to easily secure parking on the street less than a block away. Liked the vibes immediately. My favorite kind of steakhouse is an old school one, where you can feel the history and envision someone like Boss Tweed having a stogie in the back or something. Roots isn't old school but it definitely feels like it with the dark wood paneling (very impressed by the bar area in that regard as well). There were a few other patrons in there but we probably didn't need to make the reservation on the way over - we were seated in a cozy booth right off the bar and made ourselves at home. It WAS a little annoying to trek down a staircase to a shared restroom with the rest of the building; not sure they can do anything about that at this point though. The service was exquisite; top notch all the way around. Our waitress was very friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu. One moment we both liked a lot? My chum was mulling over an expensive bottle of wine and the waitress recommended a cheaper one, based on the items we were ordering. Didn't have to do that, and those little gestures go a long way for me. She also had specific recommendations based on her palate and other customer experiences, and cited the special that day, which was a hybrid filet mignon ribeye situation, and the cowboy steak off the regular menu. We ordered each (I went with the latter) so the salesmanship worked here in droves. I was hardcore eyeing the Petite Main Lobster Bites to split but my chum wanted the Shrimp Cocktail so I ended up eating this by myself for the most part. This was AWESOME. It came in the same type of dish that escargot come in (I'm sure there's a very sophisticated culinary name for it) so it was kind of easy and hard to scoop out, if that makes sense. But heavenly - my favorite part by far. So flavorful and delicious. The sides were hit and miss. We got the potatoes au gratin on the recommend of the waitress, who said Roots was known for it. That was really good too, and held up well the next day for leftovers. The Brussels sprouts were not great - they were significantly undercooked and almost hard/raw in the middle despite decent flavoring that seemed almost Asian from the tanginess. For what we were paying, you shouldn't have this big of an issue with one of the menu items. The steak was decent. The Cowboy was a little overcooked (I requested medium rare) but a very solid portion - I think one of the bigger ones on the menu - and the seasoning on it was pretty tasty. Not a mind-blowing cut but wasn't bad. This wasn't bad by any stretch, but when you have the aggressive price points of a high-end steakhouse, you should be graded on a tougher curve. To me, the quality (service excluding) didn't ultimately reach the level the cost demanded. Would have zero issue coming back for that lobster app, but I'd be reluctant to go for a full throttle meal again.
