The service was great, and the food was amazing! I can't wait to go back. We're actually planning to return during happy hour.

Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Just keep in mind that there's no dedicated parking, so you'll have to find street parking. Definitely worth a visit!

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!

I just wish they had a bit more crisp or char. For mains, we got the classic burger, veggie burger, and chicken milanese. The chicken definitely drives this review. The breading is crisped to perfection and the meat itself is nice and juicy. The salad on top provides a nice contrast and had me wishing I had a bit more to gobble up. The main bar space has high ceilings so it allows for you to not feel like you're on top of one another.

I want to preface this by saying that I'm a native New Yorker who grew up almost around the corner…read morefrom Lucali, so I'm very familiar with waits, lines, reservations, and the realities of trying to get into a popular restaurant. That's why I was actually excited and hopeful to find a restaurant in Garwood that might offer a similar experience. Unfortunately, our first impression left a lot to be desired. We arrived without a reservation and were told by the maître d' that there would be at least a two-hour wait. While I understand that restaurants get busy, the way the information was delivered felt unnecessarily dismissive. We were then directed toward the bar, where we attempted to find a place to sit. Just as we were about to sit down, the owner told us that those seats had been reserved for someone else. We went back to speak with the maître d', but the interaction and attitude at that point were unpleasant enough that we decided to leave. To his credit, the owner ultimately offered us a table outside, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, by then, the overall experience had already left us feeling unwelcome, and we decided it wasn't worth staying. I'm sure the food may very well be excellent, and perhaps we simply caught the restaurant on an off night. But a great dining experience starts well before the food reaches the table. There are plenty of restaurants where I'm happy to spend my money, and I don't expect special treatment--just basic courtesy and hospitality. Hopefully others have a better experience, but based on ours, we won't be returning.

Nonetheless I come for the food as I always look forward to the different menu options they have. The restaurant itself isn't the largest so I typically opt to make a reservation or hope for a seat at the bar. The lighting inside is dimmed nicely and there are often candles lit on the tables. The happy hour selection also contains great options as well as the drinks they offer. During our visit this time, we started off with the wings and for our entrees we had the steak and chicken milanese which were absolutely amazing. The salad was one of our favorite parts of the meal as it was rich with mixed flavors which complemented the chicken.

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.

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.

My family and I went out to enjoy a meal, but unfortunately, our experience was completely ruined…read moreby the general manager Craig's attitude and lack of professionalism. We were seated at 6:55 PM, and our waitress had entered our order into the system by 7:02 PM. At 7:30 PM, after we had already been waiting nearly 30 minutes for three chicken sandwiches and a pasta dish, our waitress came over to apologize for the delay and explained that the kitchen was still working on our food. She then spoke with the manager to inform him that our meals had still not arrived. Rather than acknowledging the delay or showing concern for his customers, the manager reportedly told her that the timing was "on point" and that there was nothing wrong with us waiting 30 minutes for our food. When he approached our table, he introduced himself and attempted to shake my hand. I offered constructive feedback, explaining that I had noticed food coming out of the kitchen approximately every 15-17 minutes, which seemed like an unacceptable turnaround time, especially considering the restaurant was not even full. His response was incredibly condescending. He told me that I had never run a restaurant and had never taught a kitchen staff "how to dance," essentially dismissing my concerns as though I had no right to question the service we were receiving. There is a difference between understanding the challenges of running a kitchen and expecting customers to accept unreasonable delays without acknowledgment or accountability. His response was disrespectful, defensive, and completely unprofessional. At 7:43 PM, our waitress returned to apologize again because we STILL had not received our food. She genuinely appeared to be trying her best to resolve the situation, and I made it clear that my frustration was with the manager's horrible customer service, not with her. The manager had offered a gift card, but after the way he spoke to us, I had no interest in accepting it. I requested that one entrée be removed from the bill instead. Our waitress understood and took the request to the owner, who agreed to accommodate us. However, the manager apparently intervened, and that compensation was ultimately not honored. Our food finally arrived at 7:53 PM--a 50-minute wait for basic menu items. Was the food good? Yes. Was it worth waiting 50 minutes for a chicken sandwich? Absolutely not. To make matters worse, the general manager ultimately gave us only 20% off the bill, which did not even amount to the cost of one entrée. The discount itself was not the biggest issue; it was the disrespectful treatment, the dismissive attitude, and the complete lack of accountability throughout the entire experience. I want to give credit where it is due: our waitress was apologetic, professional, and persistent in trying to make things right. She did everything she could to help us, and it was clear that she cared about our experience. Unfortunately, the manager's behavior overshadowed her efforts entirely. Management sets the tone for an establishment, and this manager is the reason my family and I will not be returning.Customers should not be made to feel foolish for expressing reasonable concerns, nor should they have to argue for fair treatment after an unnecessarily long wait. A simple apology, some accountability, and respectful communication would have gone a long way. It is a shame that one person's ego and inability to handle constructive criticism could turn what should have been an enjoyable family dinner into such a frustrating experience. The waitress deserved better support from management, and customers deserve far better treatment than we received. Good food can bring people through the door, but poor management is what ensures they never come back.
