I went to Raza's for a Friday lunch meeting, which is how many small human dramas begin. It was…read morenoon when the doors opened and inside stood one poor young man tasked with running the entire dining room by himself. This was not a metaphor. This was a fact. And yet he performed a yeoman's job, moving from table to table with the calm bravery of someone who has accepted his fate and decided to try his best to do right by strangers anyway. The room itself was lovely, still dressed up for the holidays like a house that refuses to admit the season has moved on. It was pleasant to sit there and feel briefly insulated from the outside world, which was surely still doing whatever it does to people who skip lunch. I ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto. It was delicious, earthy and comforting, the sort of dish that suggests someone in the kitchen cares. The portion, however, was modest for the price, leaving me fed but contemplative. My companions ordered a Caesar salad with salmon and a wedge salad with chicken, and both appeared content, which is often the highest praise one can expect at midday. With tip, the bill came to about one hundred dollars for three people at lunch, which felt a bit steep for what landed on the table. There is no crime in that, but it does linger in the mind afterward. So here we are. A good meal, a kind and overworked server, a pleasant room, and food that was enjoyable but not generous. Given the abundance of good eating options nearby, it will probably be a while before I return. I do not regret going. I am simply aware that time, money, and lunches are all finite things. Which is something worth remembering anywhere you eat, including places you like.

There are several rooms with typical tables, as well as some comfy leather chairs, and they also have a bar. I would highly recommend the rose wine, which was nice and dry, as well as the charcuterie board. The bar has two TVs, which is nice for sports during the season. The live music was also a great addition. I can't wait to come back during warmer weather and check out the outdoor seating!

This wine bar is way too cute for its own good. My friend and I split the Truffle Fries and the Cheese and Bread Charcuterie Board -- I always finish my food and I could not finish this. Make sure you have 3 people to tackle it. Like another patron said, this place is intimate and loud at the same time. They only have one bottle menu somehow in 2025, so you might have to wait a little to see it. Just saying. I think they only had 2 people working somehow, but we didn't have to wait egregiously for anything. Overall, highly recommend!

This is a combo review of 2 visits. As they were both FIVE STARS you'll be okay…read more Visit one: Last month I was feeling frisky ::meow:: after a work event at the courthouse and wasn't ready to go home. I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

This is the place you bring someone when you are trying to make an impression. Just don't show up in jeans and a tee shirt, think upscale casual. We did a small plate dinner and an early movie at the theater only a short walk away. Do not miss a chance to visit the Wine Bar.

The staff never rushed us even though we were the last customers in the restaurant Food: - we were craving a burger along with our mains so we got the burger as an appetizer! The chef even split the burger in 2 without us asking. The burger was perfectly medium rare, fries are crispy and salad is lightly dressed - lemon chicken with broccolini and pan fried potatoes and olive oil tomatoes: the lemon sauce has the perfect strong lemon flavor, chicken is so moist and the potatoes were fluffy I love coming back here to see what's new on their menu!

Dining at Homestead Restaurant in Trenton, NJ feels like stepping into a living piece of the city's…read morehistory. This isn't just a place to eat, it's the kind of old-school establishment that's been around long enough to have stories. You can feel the past in the wood-paneled atmosphere, the classic bar, and the sense that generations of locals have gathered here over good food and long conversations. There's a subtle throwback vibe that hints at Trenton's more colorful eras, the kind of place where, decades ago, important conversations might've happened over steaks and drinks rather than phone calls and emails. It has that timeless, no-frills charm: confident, comfortable, and unapologetically traditional. The food is solid, hearty, and satisfying, classic dishes done right, with portions that don't mess around. Service is professional and respectful, like they've learned over the years that consistency and discretion matter. You're treated well, but without any forced friendliness, just genuine hospitality the old way. If you appreciate historic spots with character, where the walls could probably talk and the traditions still matter, Homestead Restaurant is a must-visit. Five stars for keeping that classic Trenton legacy alive.

This place is seriously talked up within the company as one of the go-to places. However, tonight's experience was 180 deg opposite from the norm. We ordered our food and one of our colleagues didn't get his food (wings) until after the rest of the party had finished. We shared our food so he didn't go hungry but they did finally brought the food out. We asked the waitress if we could either get them comped out at the least discounted and the reply was "well we have two large parties here and I can't take them off or discount unless we take the wings back because it's the managers policy." Totally blew our mind with the response. We have a story to tell and so this guy when he goes back to his hometown. Really disappointed.
