Caroline GosselinJanuary 25, 2013Hands down the best roof top patio ( the big one in the back, not the small one of the bar). Ask for Joe the waiter... Love Joe!!
Melissa GatesJanuary 6, 2013It's not handicapped accessible even though there is an elevator. U either are parking on the street or have 2 use parking around back. If u take a 'doggie bag' make sure u check the contents first.
Sean DohertyMarch 7, 2014Great Restaurant ! Great place for a night out or a delicious dinner! Highly recommend!
Monica Cocochanel LewisMarch 25, 2013A very nice place to impress a first date....average dinner prices...and drinks are great...
You HAVE TO look at the menus for spelling errors. They are everywhere and it's hilarious!
Sit on either patio on a nice day. Watch trains come and go from South Orange Station.
Charlene ADecember 2, 2012Service was just okay. But the cocktails and food were delish! Try the lychee nut martini.
Mike WimsattJune 17, 2012Lobster Mac & cheese good. The rest? Meh. Ambiance downscale. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Ki'Mani DivineJuly 17, 2011The've changed the prefix brunch option. I'm really not liking this new management.
New Jersey MonthlyMay 25, 2011Our readers voted Above Best of Jersey 2011 runner-up in the category cocktails.
Pulled pork sliders special were A+. Rice balls with short rib meat inside don't have the meat inside like they used to.
De Metha Hukins-SimmondsJune 3, 2012Food ok, service ok, certain bartenders great! On average, the experience is just average!
Dave AdoxMay 8, 2010Brunch is not very breakfast oriented. More like lunch-dinner. Needs more bfast.

"Great food and beautiful setting upstairs. Halibut was delish, ditto bread pudding"
Sally Shankland - 6.8
"The food here is outstanding. Watch out, the portions are on the large side. Recommend the mussels, short ribs, seared tuna salad."
Alex Zaltsman - 7.4
"Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and good food. I must say I wasn't too thrilled with how my Vanilla Large tasted but overall nice place."
