Literally the best meal I've ever had in my life. You are squeezed in like sardines and it can be a little loud, but the food is exquisitly prepared. The ginger creme brulee was my favorite dessert, and I also recommend the lobster dish. Don't even try to get in without reservations on the weekend.

Definitely an expensive night out, but this restaurant is worth it. Fine dining at its best. The atmosphere and staff, however, are not stuffy or condescending if you're no blue blood. Go for the chocolate souffle!

Pretentious, stuffy and uncomfortable. The waiter literally turned my plate about 1/2 inch as if the food looked crooked or something. Quality of food isn't even all that great, especially considering the price. Too much attention to the formalities, not enough to important things like taste and comfort.

Food's great. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual. A must-see restaurant for rookies and veterans of Boston cuisine. Unfortunately, the trademark "rude waitresses" are a thing of the past; it gave the place unique character. It's still one of the best places to go in the city for high quanity, good quality seafood.

Another must-see Boston restaurant, especially if you love seafood and lots of it. The tourists have caught on to this spot over the years, so it does tend to be crowded. Get there early on the weekends; you will love it!

Used to be so much better, but it's still a really good meal. A little too franchise-ish, cookie cutter mold for me. The food is good; service is great.

Excellent food in the first floor restaurant (comedy club is in the basement). There is a variety of appetizers and entrees from which to choose, and the quality rivals any restaurant in the area. Drinks can be a little watered down at times, depending upon the bartender.

The food is delicious, and reservations are always needed as this is a popular spot, especially on the weekends.

A beautiful view and excellent food, as long as you're not a basic steak-and-potatoes person. The place is a little price-y, but it's worth it for any special celebration.

Not exactly a top notch Japanese restaurant, but it is a fun evening out. The food is good; the atmosphere, casual. An excellent place to take the whole family.

I have enjoyed the food here, from the hamburgers to the Norwegian salmon, every time I've visited Pals. And the upstairs restaurant is my favorite place to sit because of all windows and the activity outside the restaurant. The wait staff is very friendly, and you're always treated like a regular.

NJ has a lot of good diners, and this is one of them. Especially when you get those late night munchies, this is a good place to satisfy almost any craving.

Sure, it's a chain, but the food is good. Make sure, though, that you specify that you'd like your lemonade and flavored drinks made with regular water (and not carbonated soda water).

Things don't seem to have changed much since they changed the name from North Sea Village -- which is a good thing. Definitely visit for dim sum on Saturday and Sunday mornings; it's a fun and unique experience, and the food is great. The chef used to be from Hong Kong, but I cannot say if it is the same guy now.

Get there early on the weekends, or you'll have a long wait. This is a very popular restaurant. The food is good, nothing to write home about, but the orange iced tea and the sparkling wines are the best. Also, if you're into something a little different, try the pizza.

Yuck! I have had only one edible meal at this diner, and that's the turkey salad. Sure, they give you a ton of food, but it is consistently terrible. The diner is full of teenagers morning, noon and night, and the service is slow. Why this place is so busy is beyond me. Double yuck!

Delicious. Better quality than you'll get in most NJ Chinese restaurants. And they don't skimp (e.g., you'll get jumbo shrimp and not the cheap miniature shrimp that comes in a can). Also, if you're a little adventurous, try the green tea or -- even better -- red bean ice cream. They could do away with the chocolate fortune cookies, but everything else is divine.

This is my favorite restaurant. The menu changes regularly (about every 6 months) according to what the customers like. The service is great, and the personal attention by the owner is something I've never experienced before. You will not be disappointed.

This place is a pick-up joint, and everything in the place is "plastic" -- even the food. And don't think you'll be able to walk out of this joint without smelling like a pack of cigarettes. It may look like food. It may look like a restaurant/bar. But it's all an illusion. Walk down Bloomfield Avenue in either direction, and you can find better.

The place is allegedly known for using real food, especially the potatoes. However, they tasted like instant potatoes to me. The food's not bad otherwise. The decor is nice, comfortable and casual.
