We went around 2:00 PM the day before Mother's Day, and it was pretty quiet inside besides a few larger groups. Service was kind and welcoming. The food took a little while to come out, which surprised me since it didn't seem too busy, but maybe there was a party or something going on elsewhere. For appetizers, we got the Brussels sprouts and the warm feta dip -- both were absolutely fabulous and so delicious. Definitely recommend them. Next time I want to try the fried calamari too. For our entrées, I was deciding between getting a pizza, but ended up ordering the Lincroft Burger while my friend got the Charlie's Burger. We cut them in half and switched so we could each try both. Great idea because both burgers were really good. I personally prefer my fries extra crispy and these weren't quite there, but they still tasted good. The cookie skillet dessert LOOKED amazing. We were way too stuffed to order it this time, but next visit I'm definitely saving room for it. Overall, I would come again. Enjoy!

They also made Mickey Mouse pancakes for my daughter, and she was absolutely obsessed -- such a sweet touch and totally made her day. Westwood is a must. We'll absolutely be back.

There was a fair amount of parking but I would imagine it gets busy during the lunch rush around 11am-12pm. Thankfully we didn't have any parking issues. Inside is really cute too there's a little area with fresh pastries and sweets and then in the back there's a small library where you can read or take a book for free! They do have a few things to purchase as merch too like tshirts. Seating is all outdoors except a few barstools inside. The people taking our orders were super nice. I wasn't sure what to get so they gave some recommendations and ways I could customize my order with chicken vs. falafel. We ordered the Devito cutlet sandwich, the Greek Freak with chicken, the snickerdoodle latte, and the pumpkin spice latte. Everything was made pretty fast and it all was fresh and delicious. You can tell it's all fresh and homemade which is always so nice to have. I would definitely come back here and maybe even try a different location. I think it would be nice to have more seating options indoors especially with the weather getting colder. I also would love to try other seasonal drinks since they have a wide selection.

My girlfriend and I chose to try Hearthly Burger, located at 520 Broad Street, Shrewsbury, NJ,…read morebecause we eat 100% organic and rarely eat meat, so we thought this would be a good place to try a burger. While our food was being prepared, the cook -- wearing the same gloves used for food handling -- began spraying a chemical degreaser approximately six inches below the food prep table. We could clearly see the mist drifting near the food. Because of the visible chemical spray near active food preparation, and due to my serious gluten allergy, we politely asked that the food be remade. The response from staff made us feel as though we were the problem for raising the concern. The employee appeared upset and threw the food into the garbage, and no explanation, apology, or reassurance was offered. From our perspective, chemical degreasers and food preparation should never occur at the same time. After I clarified that this was a food safety issue, a second employee stepped in and properly remade the food, which I appreciated. The food itself was poor to fair. Despite this being a to-go order, we still tipped 18%, yet the overall experience reflected very poor customer service. If a food safety officer had been present, this would likely have been a very bad day for the restaurant. Am I overreacting..Zero Would I return? Never. Will I share this experience with friends? Yes.

There is a parking lot across the street you can park at so no need to worry about street parking. The first thing I noticed was that this location was much smaller than the New Brunswick location and had a more chill vibe. I thought the happy hour menu had less selection as well. I was low-key disappointed there were no clams or oysters on the menu considering we are much closer to the shoreline. My husband loved his smashburger, it was very juicy. He also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which he normally doesn't like. My wings have the perfect amount of sauce where it didn't drown the wing and it was still a big crispy. We were in and out within the hour so service was fast on a Tuesday night. But I think we are going to stick with the New Brunswick branch.

It's certainly not ethical!) We were charged approx TWICE as much for the Website listed 'Special' tacos! They certainly were special-E'special'ly expensive! We asked to speak with the manager who indicated that she didn't even know that this 'Special' was still on their website. At that point (and in good faith), she should have offered us something as compensation! When told that they do not carry a common beverage-BLUE MOON, the waitress suggested giving me a similar beer and offered a 'taste test'. I could not tell if I liked the sample cause the shot glass had SO LITTLE beer in it-offering me NO TASTE at all. We also ordered chips, plantains, and salsa as an appetizer. For the cost of $14.00, I assumed it would contain enough chips for three people and might even be an unlimited supply. There were approx 15 chips on the plate and 6 plantains-which were tasteless. But think about it!? 15 taco chips for three people to the tune of $14.00?! They should be embarrassed! By 7:30, this restaurant was almost empty. We have been there several times over the years, but this place has deteriorated, in many ways, and we will no longer patronize this establishment!

Our server, Devin, was fantastic. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind. He checked in at the right times, answered all our questions, and made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. And the food? Absolutely delicious. My family and I are pretty picky about our meats, which is one of the reasons we usually prefer eating at home. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared -- flavorful without being overdone. You can tell care went into the quality. Overall, it was such a great experience. Definitely exceeded our expectations, and we'll be back.

We chose Nicholas Barrel & Roost based on the menu and an almost 4 star rating on Yelp with over…read more500 reviews. The halibut caught my eye immediately; I'm a sucker for a perfectly prepared piece of halibut or a great pork chop, and since my partner doesn't eat meat it made for an easy share. Earlier in the day, a couple of women at our hotel bar mentioned the chef had trained at Jean-Georges in Manhattan, which only added to our anticipation. It wasn't until we got back to the hotel after dinner and did a little reading that we learned just how decorated Harary really is; his Restaurant Nicholas held Zagat's top spot in New Jersey for 15 consecutive years and earned a 4-star New York Times review. That context made our middling meal sting just a little more. We started with the bread service and the beet salad. The bread itself was baked beautifully, but the butter and ricotta accompanying it were completely flavorless. My partner and I are not salt-at-the-table people; we trust that seasoning happened in the kitchen. This was the first time in recent memory that we actually reached for the salt shaker. Not a great sign. The beet salad should have been a showstopper. Beets, when done right, can carry an entire dish on their own. Instead, they were buried under an avalanche of arugula. Don't get me wrong, arugula is one of my favorite greens; that peppery bite and beautiful texture are hard to beat, but here it was doing all the heavy lifting while the beets sat underneath doing nothing. We'd eaten most of the salad before we even noticed the sunflower seeds and a smear of mascarpone hiding on the bottom of the bowl. That mascarpone, gently flaked on top with the seeds scattered over it to catch in the folds, could have made this dish genuinely memorable. The gorgeous candy-striped radishes were a lovely visual touch, but they were raw, undressed slices with no seasoning, no acid, no pickling. Beautiful to look at; an afterthought to eat. The whole salad felt that way, honestly. For our main, we shared the Panko Crusted Halibut with bok choy and smoked shallot velouté. The sauce was the star; the smoke level was dialed in perfectly, present in all the right ways without overpowering everything else. The wild mushrooms were lovely, but the dish needed something to break up the texture. The bok choy brought good flavor, but it mirrored the mushrooms so closely that each bite started to blur together. Something crispy, something sharp, would have elevated the whole thing considerably. The fish itself was cooked well; firm, flakey, and not dried out. The panko crust was gorgeous to look at but could have been crispier. Based on its beautiful golden color, it looked like it had more crunch than it actually delivered. The cocktails were a genuine highlight. An old fashioned made with 1792 and a Black Manhattan, both well-crafted and the clearest bright spots of the evening. The three people behind the bar were another highlight. Expedient, attentive, never rushing anyone, and willing to make easy conversation without being intrusive. That is exactly what you want from people working a good bar. The ambiance, though, was confusing. The space seemed to pull in two directions at once; it wanted to feel upscale but also like a sports bar, and it never fully committed to either. Three small TVs tucked into the corners would have been fine. The oversized screen mounted prominently on the wall was intrusive and clashed hard with any sense of elevated dining. The music was classic rock, which I enjoy, but it read as wrong for the room and was a tad too loud. The music for this type of setting should be something to just add some ambiance, not for people to shout-sing too like you've had too many beers at a dive karaoke bar, which I love by the way, this was just not that kind of place. Those same women from the hotel bar had also warned us it could get loud and obnoxious in there. We figured we'd take our chances. We probably should have listened. With the legacy behind this place, the potential is clearly there. The bar staff gets it. Now the kitchen and the room just need to catch up.
