    As in the past, Limani is a staple in Central Jersey for fresh seafood and fish, prepared to a highest level of excellence, from taste to presentation. Tonight, we tried two new items for us, but not new to Limani: lobster bisque (excellent, who knew it had just the right amount of kick to differentiate from other lobster bisques out there?!), and the cod in tomato broth was superb! Additional oldies but delicious goodies: salmon with horseradish, shrimp santorini, and their famous Bronzino, so soft it falls off the skin and so tasty! Highly recommend 👍

    La Griglia is authentic in its dining experience. From the bartenders to the servers, our evening there was amazing (as it has been many times before). The food is top notch from the Cajun calamari to the special crab cake recipe. La Griglia is full service with parking attendance and coat checking, it brings elegance to the experience from the very start. Whether dining as a couple or a large group, the staff stays engaged and responsive to customers' needs. Certainly worth taking the trip!

    Fantastic restaurant. We went here with one half of the family on Christmas Eve. It was so great that we took the other half here on the day after Christmas. Every dish was fantastic. Service is on point. Get there early and sit at the bar. Great vibe. Upscale, relaxed.

    We come here at least once or twice a year for special occasions because the food is always reliably delicious. We had the garlic shrimp for appetizer, which is the ABSOLUTE BEST. The bread and garlic dip are a truly dangerous combo. We can never stop eating it, so by the time dinner comes we're usually already pretty full! My husband had the french onion pork chop (a very large-sized pork chop), I had the steak tips with egg noodles stroganoff (not typically on their menu), and my daughter had the chicken francaise (she always gets this because the chicken is so tender and the sauce is so tasty). Our waiter was super friendly and humorous. The interior of the restaurant is usually plain, but at Christmas is always festively-decorated.

    Certainly a hidden gem! We spent an incredible Christmas Eve dinner at Chez Catherine. The food was spectacular and the maître made great suggestions. The risotto was superb. We are definitely coming back soon!
