Best Restaurants for Foodies in South Orange

This was our second time here and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Service was excellent as well. Will be coming back again.

The food -- rack of lamb and beignets for dessert- was excellent. Their veggies are always cooked to perfection in this case roasted carrots and a creamy potato gratin. It's expensive but a great place to eat, Service is great, very attentive but not annoyingly so. I would highly recommend Nico's. I have eaten here for several years as I have NJPAC tickets. An excellent dinner and a good show is something to look forward to!

If you are looking for excellent food and service, La Griglia is definitely the restaurant to consider. I use the word consistency to describe each and every dinner we have experienced. From their signature broiled crab cakes (which are the best around) savory endive salad, burrata and heirloom tomatoes appetizers to amazing Dover sole, beautifully prepared Bronzino, and great beef, pork and chicken options, all the entrees are wonderful. If wine pairing is your thing, their list is considerable and has something for every palate. Great service is La Griglia’s priority. From water and wine glasses tended to, to the crumbing and bussing of tables, the staff shines and works in tandem. We love it here and know you will never go wrong choosing La Griglia as your dining destination.

Although the wait was longer the expected we had a really good time .

The ambience sets the tone, when you walk thru the doors and are warmed by the gorgeous fire. The service and food were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and it was extra special! Thanks!
