It literally was the little things that made this such a great experience. He held the door open for a customer carrying a lot of bags and who was struggling to open the door, handed us a paper towel after we each used the restroom (also it's a basic bathroom but clean!!), and this was THE icing on top: moved us to the other side of the small room because he said the wind draft would hit us when the door opens. He came over to talk to us because he said it can only be a good or bad thing if customers were quiet when eating the food. Well food was great and he was so friendly and shared a bit of his family's experience and history with food. Food wise we ordered the soup of the day (chicken), garlic shrimp, salmon, and beef rib. Also had some local Portuguese sodas. The salmon truly surprised me because it was crispy and tasty!! He also mentioned it's a BYOB and liquor wine store was across the street. Love this place.

There were several people ahead of me as well waiting and complaining, they even had a couple dining in waiting over an hour and chose to leave. another woman asked for a refund on her card, they keep saying it's a new cook but honey yall need to train these people better or something.

We ordered take out from this restaurant. This restaurant serves Romanian food (although I don't…read morethink we ordered anything that was traditionally Romanian). We ordered the fried Asiago cheese as an appetizer. It was crispy but had no flavor. I wish it came with a sauce or something (like a sweet drizzle would have made it better). We also tried two sandwiches, the beef brisket and cheesesteak sandwiches. The beef brisket was good, the sauce was a little sweet, and the beef wasn't too dry. The bread tasted fresh and I like the amount of ingredients in the sandwich. The cheesesteak wasn't the best. It had a cucumber wasabi sauce that wasn't the best. The meat was well cooked though. I just think the sauce isn't for everybody. I think I would order again from here. The prices were decent. Each sandwich came with a large amount of fries and the sandwiches were pretty filling.

Small empanada shop located on the Belleville Pike that I pass every day and finally gave it a try…read more I got three empanadas, one ham and cheese, one buffalo chicken, and one guava and cheese. I ranked them in that order as well. The Ham and cheese was pretty good, the Buffalo chicken was really good, and the guava and cheese was outstanding. I would love if they sold a dipping sauce too but I didn't see any. I could have missed it if there were to be honest. The service was excellent and the price was right too......under $10 for three. The parking is a little dicey, it's street only and you have to find it on the side streets. I'm glad I stopped and I will stop again on the way home to try other combinations.

My partner and I were looking for a local breakfast spot when we came across EmpaBake. Right away,…read morewe noticed the display filled with pastries and a tempting selection of savory baked empanadas. We ordered a caramel latte and a cappuccino to start, along with a ropa vieja (shredded beef) and sweet plantain empanada that we couldn't resist. Since they're baked, the empanada crust is light and crisp, with a generous, flavorful filling. It was a little on the dry side but still good. For our main dishes, I had the two egg breakfast with bacon and home fries, while my partner went for the Tres Golpes. Both plates were delicious and served in large portions. We were also surprised with a complimentary warm sesame bun, which was a lovely touch. To finish, I ordered a cortado bold, smooth, and just the right kick. The staff is friendly and always ready with the warm greeting especially for their regulars. The decore is simple but I did enjoy the large window painting. We'll definitely be back to try more empanadas and maybe a pastry (or two). Street parking only, but finding a spot wasn't difficult.

Such a wonderful little treat my family and I happened to stumble upon today in Nutley, NJ…read more My family and I were helping out some locals with a job and we got hungry for lunch. We asked some people nearby for a reasonably priced seafood spot and we were told to try out Stephanie's. I was skeptical at first because the restaurant priced itself on bbq meats and since today is Good Friday, Catholics abstain from meat to commemorate Christ's' sacrifice on the cross. It sounded like we'd be better off heading somewhere else, however the locals who were also Christian insisted on the spot. Thankfully we gave it a try and it was absolutely worth the price and travel to try it out. It was a cute and festive interior and honestly a really cool hidden gem. I was extremely content with the portioning and quality and flavors I was given on my plate. The seasoned olive oil with fried garlic on the side was literally put on everything by family and I. 100% recommend. Next time I'll be back for regular bbq'd meats!

The truth is, the food is really good, which is exactly why I stayed and waited. However, time management is definitely not their strong suit.
