Went to order today and it costs $12 more since we last ordered. Fine, we decide to press on. Food gets here and the portions are significantly smaller. Easily 1/4 of the rise compared to the previous version and significantly less meat, with gyro meat replaced with raw onions. This won't last more than one night. We're so disappointed and unfortunately won't be ordering again.

The restaurant (as of July 5, 2026) was nicely decorated with pirate/ocean themes, as well as a variety of country flags for the World Cup games. The ambiance was lit enough, and we were seated in a clean booth. For our appetizer, just to change things up a bit -- we tried the 6 piece lemon pepper wings. They were lightly seasoned and served fresh from the fryer. They came with both blue cheese and ranch dressings. However, neither dressings were house made (BUMMER!). Still delicious though! As for my main, I ordered 1 lb. of head-on shrimp and 1/2 lb. of mussels with garlic butter. There is a variety of sauces you can choose from, and a variety of spice-choices to choose from as well. DISCLAIMER: I did choose spicy, but it was NOT SPICY! That could just be my spice tolerance (a me problem), but I was left with meh. The taste was amazing though! Along with my boil, I did something unusual, for a $5 premium, you can add ramen noodles to your boil! I thought that was interesting and did so and I am so glad I did it! The noodles sucked up all that garlic butter and were excellent vehicles of flavor being slurped! TOTAL GAME CHANGER. Shout out to Jonathan our server. He was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. 5 stars for the experience, -1 star for my preferred spice level. Overall, 4 stars!

The employees who work here are always super friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help. We've gotten the salmon, sea bass, jumbo shrimp, and oysters. They offer jumbo shrimp already deveined (but frozen instead of the fresh ones on the display ice), which is super convenient for times I do not want to devein the shrimp myself. The shrimp is easy to cook over a boil and great with cocktail sauce that they also sell at Peter's Fish Market. The salmon is also super fresh and we were told that we can eat the salmon raw like sashimi! Since then, we've been making our own salmon hand rolls and sushi rolls at home. The seabass is also so amazing to eat. We recently decided to try oyster and we were unlucky with one not being fresh, but everything else was great. We always have a great time with the seafood we buy.

If I have an amazing dish out somewhere, I can usually carry it home in my head and come up with a knockoff that's not half bad. Christmas Eve was always my big night -- also my birthday -- when I hosted the Feast of the Seven Fishes. At one point, over 30 people would pack in to share it. For 30 years straight, the fish came from one place only: Peter's Seafood in Midland Park. But tonight, what's on my mind isn't Yelp or fish markets. It's my neighbor Pete. He was my best friend here -- a guy who could spin stories about New York in the 1950s like he was giving you a private tour. Sometimes he'd get a "Woolley" (that's Italian for craving) for lobster or clams. I'd drive north to Peter's, haul it back to Monroe, and we'd make a night of it: good food, better conversation. Pete passed away this weekend. I know it comes with the territory of living in a senior village -- neighbors will pass on. But this is my first loss here, and it feels like a big one.Pete would laugh if I told him that I needed to add great ambience in my side yard to make this a complete Yelp review...

Red sauce is available from sweet to medium to spicy- I love the light sweet sauce. The scungilli (conch) salad is fresh, the fried calamari is a very light batter and delightful. Spaghetti is thin and al dente. We had the shrimp and clam spaghetti and the chicken special (pan skillet fried chicken cutlet with mozzarella, eggplant and ricotta) which was perfectly prepared. The Cannolis are freshly filled before served- as they should be. I would never change a thing. My quibbles are grated Parmesan in a jar and they use iceberg lettuce but I have always loved the service that does not allow you to send back uneaten food!

I ordered a Caesar salad and it was absolutely the most unappetizing item I have ever been served in my life. It looked like it had been siting in the back of a refrigerator for days. The lettuce had been chopped into tiny pieces, was wilted and unreconizable. My best guess, it was iceburg and the dressing out of a bottle. When I expressed my discontent (which I admit could have been a little kinder), was attacted by a waitress from across the dining room. "HE CAME IN HERE ANGRY. JUST LIKE HE DID THE LAST TIME HE WAS HERE." How more unprofessional does it get?! I had not been there in over 10 years! I remember the days when Joe would sit by the kitchen with a bottle of Heineken. That's when the place was great. I guess when he died, the place went with it. And the "kicker"; on the way out the door, this same waitress says to me -refering to my wife- "I don't know how she puts up with you?"
