Ling Ling Chinese Cuisine	Millburn, NJ
I found the food here to be about average - not better or worse than other similar restaurants. The wonton soup is odd, however - not at all what wonton soup is anywhere else and I found it bland and disappointing.

The wonton soup is odd, however - not at all what wonton soup is anywhere else and I found it bland and disappointing. Nice service, but nothing to make a special trip for. Probably a good place to go if you live locally. less
Casa Nostra	West Orange, NJ
A very pretentious place that thinks it's something that it's not. Effort seems to have gone into this fairly new restaurant, but clearly not in the right areas.

Effort seems to have gone into this fairly new restaurant, but clearly not in the right areas. The food is only average - portions are not generous, and are very over-priced. On a recent visit, the waiter incorrectly described a dish, and brought my dining companion exactly what she had told him she did NOT want. No apology was extended - no effort was made to accommodate her even though the waiter had clearly made a mistake. The rest of our experience did nothing to make this problem seem like a rare occurrence. Very average in every way. I had high hopes for this new restaurant when it opened, but can't imagine making a return trip or recommending it. less
China Gourmet	West Orange, NJ
Great restaurant! More attractive and warm than most Chinese restaurants, with a practically romantic atmosphere but also good for families.

More attractive and warm than most Chinese restaurants, with a practically romantic atmosphere but also good for families. Expert, knowledgable service, and excellent, attractively presented food. The menu is large, and has more than just the usual fare. The waiters will answer all of your questions and make suggestions. It's a true dining experience, not often found in restaurants of this type. Lunch and dinner are available in all price ranges, there's plenty of parking. Nicer than just take-out (although they have that too!) I highly recommend China Gourmet. less
Old Man Rafferty's	New Brunswick, NJ
Nice place - fun, busy atmosphere, but definitely a cut above a college bar. Friendly service, good food, conveniently located, although parking can be a problem.

Friendly service, good food, conveniently located, although parking can be a problem. (Drive around to find a spot on the street or use one of the garages.) The menu is pretty basic, the drinks are good - a great place to meet friends. less
Blue Point Grill	Princeton, NJ
Excellent seafood. Great, friendly service. The fish is fresh and delicious, side orders are equally satisfying and inviting. There's a nice variety, and although the restaurant itself is not large and it's pretty busy, I've never had to wait. (T ... more Excellent seafood. Great, friendly service. The fish is fresh and delicious, side orders are equally satisfying and inviting. There's a nice variety, and although the restaurant itself is not large and it's pretty busy, I've never had to wait. (This of course depends on when you go.) A friendly place, great food, excellent (and fast) service. less

Good dining area, friendly bar area with numerous TV screens and bartenders who know how to make drinks! A good place for a date, or a decent (not overly fancy but not too casual) dinner out. Lots of parking. Good (not too bright) lighting. I would definitely recommend. less

The atmosphere is unique and beautiful, the service is professional, and the food is unbelievable - out of this world, beautifully presented, high quality, and absolutely delicious. On the expensive side, but not somewhere you would go often, anyway(although you would like to!) A lovely place for a special celebration. Wish I could budget it into my life more, but glad it's so close to where I live! less
Quincy's Place	West Orange, NJ
Good, overall place for a variety of food. A great place to go if your dining companions all want something different. Average price, good, basic food, casual atmosphere.
Starlite Restaurant & Pizza	West Orange, NJ

I felt totally ignored by the waitress the last time I was there while she fawned all over a table of men. Maybe they were regulars, but a good waitress treats EVERYONE like a regular, or at least treats everyone the same. Not a fancy place - your basic pizzeria with some Italian dishes that are all good. Again, not exceptional, but good. Parking can be tricky if you go when it's busy. less
