I love the food but their attitudes are not always pleasant and the HUGE SIGNS saying "Unmask our Kids" at the height of the pandemic shows an unfortunate opinion when 1.2 million people have died in the US. I suggest you keep your dangerous opinions to yourself.

Great spot for brunch, lunch or dinner. Enjoy the fresh meals and awesome service. Some interesting dishes and sound a bit weird but taste so good. Daily specials. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Hot spinach, artichoke, and "tomato" dip.

We have always loved coming here. Over the last year, the quality of the food has really gone downhill. Today may be the last time we dine here. We ordered take out today. My husband got the chicken salad croissant and I got the hot spinach and artichoke dip. Unfortunately, I could not eat the dip. It tasted like a bad lemon. No tomatoes. It was a bit curdled. It smelled so bad. My husband's chicken salad croissant was ok, but not the normal of what is usually made there in the past. The last few times it started to slip as well but we didn't mind. It was edible. I really hope they get their kitchen back to normal. It was very disappointing

Wow! Cooked to perfection! Great flavors, menu,service and prices! We def found our new go-to! And they are all so accommodating! Love the atmosphere! We are excited to come back and try even more foods, such as the breakfast burrito. This is a must try! Highly recommend!

Burrito and the other dishes plus added fruit!

Ambience when we first arrived was busy. We called ahead to make a reservation which was recommended and that certainly paid off! Service was quick and friendly! Food came out quickly and was absolutely to die for. Thank you all for the fantastic first experience, you have made repeat customers!

French toast with drizzled cream cheese

I really was hoping for something much better after seeing all the great reviews and pics. First, the place can use a refresh. The lighting is very dim and looked run down. I could have gotten past this had our food wowed us. I ordered what was on the menu as stuffed French toast with raspberry cream cheese. What I was served was dry French toast with drizzled cream cheese and a few raspberries on top. The bacon was was not crisp and on the fatty side. My husbands waffle was nothing special. Not sure we will give this place another chance.

Blacken chicken salad

Stopped by for lunch on a cold fall afternoon. I was disappointed that the did not have the French onion soup which I felt could have been shared when the specials were given to remove it as an option. The burger was good but nothing special. The blacken chicken salad however was great. It was light with a good combination of fresh ingredients I would go back for the salad alone. Black beans, corn, avocado, cheese, bacon with a jalapeño ranch dressing combined with the spicy blackened chicken....delicious.

Exceptional food and excellent service!…read more The French fries are insanely good as is everything

It…read morewas only after the whole meal was over, and realizing that it was utterly awful that I felt directed to share my experience. My boyfriend and I sat in the bar area for a quick lunch on Friday. It was busy but not overly so. I got a drink that was decent. The service was also good but that's where the positives end. For a starter we tried the Hamachi Crudo. What came to the table was far from acceptable. Large hunks of tuna, some pieces with the white part of the skin still attached. It just looked botched. Bloodline and different sized pieces. You couldn't chew the white part so we had to cut it off. Then when we tried to eat it, it was full of pin bones. We picked out 4 pieces with bone. No real sauce on the plate. No flavor other than the chilis that were placed on top. One of the worst things I've ever been served. When our entrees came out first off, the French fries that we paid extra for were spare. My chicken avocado wrap tasted like nothing. It didn't have much chicken, I didn't notice any of the cheese or avocado ranch that was supposed to be on it. It was full of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. My BF said his turkey sandwich had no taste either and he wasn't sure it had what it said it should have on it. Very little turkey, undercooked, limp bacon and bread he said that was stale. Walking away we were just shocked. A bad course is one thing but every dish was just abysmal. You know it's bad when the people that were dining next to you grab you outside to see if your meal was as bad as theirs. I know, I should have shared by displeasure with staff but I'm so uncomfortable doing that. I don't need places to be perfect, I understand businesses have off days but this was a train off it's tracks kinda meal. I really hope Braddocks turns this around. But we will not be back.

I stuck with my usual two eggs, which were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My fiancée ordered the Pretty Toast, their take on French toast, topped with cream cheese, pecans, and sweetened peaches. It honestly reminded me of peach cobbler! When I saw her plate, my jaw dropped--I was instantly jealous! She let me steal a couple of bites, and it was absolutely delicious. It's one of those dishes you could enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a sweet snack. The food was a solid 10/10. Our server, Ben, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. He took the time to tell us a little about the menu and even suggested we try something different. Looking back... I probably should have listened! The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and inviting. It honestly felt like sitting in your nonna's kitchen--warm, comfortable, and full of charm. We can't wait to come back and work our way through the dinner menu. If brunch was this good, we have a feeling dinner will be just as amazing!

My fitness-oriented friends have been posting pics from here for a while now, and it looked pretty…read moreswanky, so we thought we'd go check it out, with our expectations tempered by a smattering of so-so reviews. The menu is very wide-ranging (a bit of a red flag), so I asked our very courteous and knowledgeable server for recommendations and she steered me to the seafood risotto. My wife ordered the salmon with risotto. (she always orders salmon). While waiting for our food, I nursed a happy hour margarita, which was one of the best I've ever had. Now I know why it's so popular for happy hour. Our entrees arrived about 15 minutes later and we were dumbfounded by how stunningly good they were. Both were absolute home runs in every respect. The seafood risotto was packed with jumbo shrimp and other morsels of seafood on a bed of risotto that was just incredibly savory and delicious. My wife's salmon over risotto was similarly superb, with a milder risotto perfectly attuned to salmon's subtler flavor. There was just no end to the superlatives being expressed after every bite. For dessert my wife ordered the cheesecake with fresh fruit and I the creme brûlée. Naturally we tried each others desserts and switched since my wife liked the creme brûlée better and I the cheesecake. I normally don't order cheesecake because it's generally ultra sweet with no other flavor, but this one was wonderfully fresh tasting; I've never had anything like it! Service was excellent, the space very comfortable and not loud. And the prices are super reasonable too. Cannot recommend it enough!

Four of us went for a dinner here on a Friday night. Wasn't too busy, but it was a holiday weekend…read more I guess everybody was at the shore. I looked at the menu earlier and was all set on getting a seafood dinner, but when we walked in the smell of steak was so good I changed my mind. We were seated quickly, and the service was excellent. Plus all our meals were absolutely wonderful. Steak was good, as expected for a steakhouse. One of us got clam chowder and a wedge salad. She's from Boston and she thought that was the best clam chowder she's ever had. It's New England style. Drinks were good, no complaints there. Dinner for four was about $300 including tip. A little expensive but not too bad for the quality of the food at a place like this. Good looking and friendly staff. I'll certainly go back.

I so wanted to love this place however I am not a fan…read more Let's start with the chicken Parmesan. Honestly, this is probably the only thing that I absolutely loved out of all the mails that we picked out.. The pasta literally lacks sauce as you can see it's more of meat and red sauce, but it didn't even cover all the pasta when you mixed it in. Which also like seasoning flavors. We ordered the pizza for our kids. Our kids were a little disappointed by it as they had more onions than they had of actual meat. A lot of of the onions was covered by the cheese.. The burger I feel like it lacks a description as I didn't know it came with two onion rings and by the time we got home, which is not even five minutes away, the cheese had already hardened. I decided on getting sweet potato fries. They were extremely soggy. They weren't fully cooked. The calamari rings were good however, the sauce is the exact same pasta sauce used for the spaghetti, which was a little bit disappointing. I was recommended this place as I was visiting the area and I love enjoying and trying new places however I try to keep it as honest as possible. There is room for improvement the presentation as well. The food looks aesthetically pleasing however, the lack of flavors is very offputting.. This was a pick up so the service was pretty quick.

We didn't realize that the restaurant was a part of a country club until we arrived (no where in the reviews did it mention this) but we've done brunch at other country clubs throughout Jersey and it was wonderful. Upon entering the restaurant we saw their only brunch option was for a brunch buffet and from our quick scans of the buffet walking to the hostess stand we all decided we would not be doing brunch (pastries looked like they were from Coscto, warm food looked as though it had been sitting there for a while and the omelettes coming from the omelette station didn't look spectacular so we opted to do their lunch menu instead. Service was SSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW! From the very beginning until the very end. It took about 15 minutes before our server arrived to greet us, then another 15 for our first round of cocktails to come out, the about a half an hour for us to be told that they were out of 1 of the 3 appetizers we ordered ... so no lie, after being there a full hour we finally received 2 of the 3 appetizers and were then just able to order a second round of cocktails and our main courses. The cocktails weren't the greatest either. We thought perhaps the first round was our fault because we all tried their "blackberry espresso martini" and we knew it was a risk from the beginning ... so we ordered "safer" cocktails for round 2 and the prosecco based cocktails were even worse than the blackberry espresso martinis smh. I truly don't understand how one messes up prosecco + a splash of limoncello and cranberry (that was what was supposed to be in the cocktail) but they certainly messed it up, to the point where I didn't drink it. Our entrees finally arrived and WOMP WOMP WOMP! Overall every single one was MID at best ... and all I had was French onion soup and a wedge salad .... like how is it possible for those to be BLAH? Food was so MEH we didn't even take pics lol. Needless to say we all agreed we wouldn't be back and wished we had decided on what was our 2nd option for brunch instead.

Every one of these pastas was delicious, really well seasoned, pasta was cooked perfectly and plenty of sauce. Wednesday night is possibly also karaoke night so at some point it's going to get overly loud with the host playing a music question. Plenty of parking and easy location to get to.

Right away, when walking in, we were greeted with delicious looking dessert options and welcoming faces. We were seated nicely next to the decorated window, and our waiter was quick with our orders. My crab and scallop penne pasta with Alfredo sauce was delicious, with seasoned bread crumbs on top. The Alfredo sauce sadly did overpower the dish, and there just was not enough crab to come through. Some bread on the side would have been a treat to soak up all the sauce and bits of crab. The eggplant parmigiana had many layers of tasty eggplant and their flavorful sauce. I am glad we ordered the fries on the side, because they came seasoned and went perfectly with both meals. We decided to take our desserts home with us, and the limoncello was our standout favorite. There were many other options on their dessert menu that we were debating between, and we will have to stop by for more later for sure.
