    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another wonderful experience with excellent service, flavorful and fresh food and a great place to eat never feeling crowded![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came to celebrate my wife's retirement and we felt at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have come often and are never disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel like family when I come into such a nice environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken francese

    Oakland, NJ - I was rather apprehensive seeing the low rating but my experiences here have been largely positive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a huge restaurant that does banquets and can accommodate large groups, so we've been here the past three years for New Year's Eve dinner organized by a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Obviously it's a super busy night, but we've always encountered pleasant and very good service, with the staff working as hard and efficiently as they can, and still trying to be as attentive as possible while juggling multiple tables of large orders. The food is classic Italian and ranges from mediocre to great (all the shrimp dishes are fantastic). I'm never fond of lengthy menus as the quality inevitably suffers, but there is definitely no lack of variety. We always order the shrimp Salerno appetizer in garlic sauce, and I've really enjoyed the stuffed salmon and chicken francese/marsala. I ordered a seafood pasta this time (i tres frutti di mare) and while the shrimp was great, the lobster and scallops were not too fresh - I'm sure they came frozen, but the texture of the lobster was somewhat mushy and the scallops had a faint taste of ammonia indicating spoilage. I should've known better and stuck with something more basic. My expresso martini was excellent - not sure which vodka they used but it was not a crappy one as low grade liquors make me feel ill so I can always physically tell when a bar/restaurant substitutes top-shelf spirits with a cheap well product. There was a photographer coming around the tables to take photos the last couple of years. I actually appreciated this as for larger tables, it can be challenging to get a nice group photo, and the ones they took were much better than the ones we took with our phones. There was no pressure to buy. We bought one last year but not this year - the photo comes in a souvenir lucite frame. It's clear from the mixed reviews that the food and service are inconsistent (which isn't surprising given the size of the restaurant and the sprawling menu), but they seem to have a loyal regular clientele. 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 for the commendable job they've always done in handling our party.

    Some people prefer skydiving, but nothing gets my adrenaline pumping faster than knowingly going to a restaurant with incredibly negative reviews. What a ride. One of my top-tier chums has been craving a solid Italian meal for months now and specifically picked this place for its cuisine and relatively convenient location just off 287. In what I found to be a fascinating throwdown between the two main online review portals I use, Yelp cited an average rating of 2.3, while Google was at 4.0. Google is an easy lay in my opinion, which is why I usually rely on Yelp for the tough but accurate assessments, but even I thought this was a gigantic discrepancy worth investigating. This wasn't off-the-charts terrible, but I can understand why a lot of people are pretty tepid on it. We stopped by here for dinner last Friday night a little after 6pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is...a behemoth. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It feels much more like its natural business model is that of an event or banquet hall versus a "normal" Italian restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a ton of parking (a good thing), large ostentatious rooms and there's nothing small here - even the wine glasses looked like twice the size of the ones I normally use.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite what I'd consider to be a pretty busy time for an Italian restaurant (aka Friday night dinner in North Jersey), it was noticeably empty throughout our visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I guess it's possible that there were other rooms beyond our radar that were bustling with patrons but I honestly doubt it. Odd though. I decided to play it super safe and go with their general pasta/sauce entree (where you just pick a type of pasta and its accompanying sauce) - Penne with Bolognese. Huge helping and tasty. I was pretty hungry and still brought at least another meal's worth home with me. No need to go metaphorically skydiving with the menu. Like most white tablecloth Italian restaurants, we also got a generous portion of bread and butter, and two of us had glasses of wine. All good. If the experience had maintained this level throughout, Google would have won the day unquestionably. The meal took a real nosedive toward the end when we ordered dessert. In hindsight, it's pretty frustrating because Portobello got SO close to the finish line here and then stumbled - a real unforced error. Up until then, I would have classified the service as very good. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and stopped by often. If memory serves, there was a secondary staffer nearby as well to add some grated cheese to dishes, fill up the water glasses, etc. So plenty of assistance on the premises and all was going well. We split a few items (I ate most of my chum's cappuccino gelato - refreshing and a decent palate cleanser) and the minute the dessert showed up, the service went up in smoke. Very strange - all they really needed was ONE more visit to the table for the win. But despite the fact that we were within eyesight of numerous employees and very obviously done with our meal, it literally took close to half an hour for someone to come back to our table for the check. Our guy just up and disappeared, and no one took his place. It's hard to look at that as anything other than bad management, and from the other reviews, this seems to be their biggest problem - fixable but doesn't seem like it's being solved. The food is decent but something isn't quite clicking here. I don't think it's worth the risk, especially when you have so many options for this type of cuisine in the area.

    Salmon special
    Rob S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was beautiful however that's where it stopped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were non attentive and just seemed bothered with ppl being there. For 2 ppl with two entrees and two drink it was $100, there are too many other better test at that price. Piece of salmon was huge but nothing special and barely any sauce on the contrary the chicken had plenty of sauce and was eh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just not impressed with the food and service however the restaurant was clean and beautiful interior[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Espresso Martini
    Maggie L.

    Came here for lunch and it was wonderful! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. We started with burrata which was delicious. Our entrees came with salads before and they were good. My husband got prime rib which he said was cooked well! He also enjoyed the mashed potatoes. I got the special which was crib stuffed scallops over corn and bacon risotto. Definitely hope they keep this on the menu for a bit this was such a delicious entree. Ended our lunch with espresso martinis which were so good! There was a party on the other side of the restaurant so the bar was a bit backed up but our waitress kept updating us and apologizing for the wait. We were in no rush and were enjoying our time so we didn't mind at all. They were worth the wait!

    Overall a very enjoyable experience. I had booked reservations for my bf birthday here…read more They never recognized the birthday on the reservation but he's not much for attention like that so I'll let it slide. Waitress was very nice and attentive without being annoying. The bread was warm and soft and the whipped butter was to die for. The Filet Crostini was so so good but we will the crostini was crispier as it got a little soggy from the juices. We really enjoyed our meals! The drinks were just okay. The Blueberry Smash was disappointing. Maybe add some missed blueberries if you're calling it a blueberry smash? The decor has a modern rustic vibe and we were sat in the upstairs. We'll definitely be back in the future as there was some much on the menu we wanted to try!

Calvin behind the bar was fantastic and made an incredible fresh-squeezed blood orange margarita. The food really stood out. The brie with blueberry sauce was a perfect sweet-savory combo, and the wings were packed with flavor. My burger (loaded with cheddar, egg, and bacon) was massive and cooked just right. Bun also made in house. The homemade pickles had a nice kick, and the haystack onion rings were super crispy. We ended with tiramisu and blueberry cheesecake--both delicious and made in house. Love that everything is farm-to-table. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

I easily made a 7:15pm reservation for my 30th birthday on their website. The parking is self parking which is great. Upon arriving we were greeted at the hostess stand and led to our table. The inside of the restaurant is small, intimate, and all decorated. Our server, whose name I cannot recall was amazing, he made sure we always had drinks and checked on us consistently. He even made fantastic recommendations based on the menu and drink preferences. We started off with a round of cocktails and their bread and butter was delicious. I loved their gangster cocktail as it had a great kick to pair with the tequila and tajin. The fried calamari and tuna tartar are a must have! The calamari are fried to perfection and there even were a few olives mixed in. The tuna was super fresh and flavorful we were all fighting over it. We mostly ordered the butcher's cut filet, rack of lamb, sautéed mushrooms, and russet potato hash browns. I ordered my filet black and blue and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The filet was tender and well flavored. The russet potato hash browns were delicious and the rosemary seasoning was a perfect touch. Every cocktail my party ordered was delicious.
