    We sat in the window on the first floor. The wait staff was very accommodating as we had 2 babies in our party of 7. The server was very polite and took our order slowly as we were ready one course at a time. The food was fantastic, and the drinks were poured generously. Everything was cooked correctly, and everyone enjoyed their meal.

    It was very popular for a Monday, but I definitely enjoyed the ambience and the food was delicious, we had the dip sampler, the chicken and the short rib; everything was cooked and seasoned well! I’ve also been here for ladies night on Thursday and they have a good happy hour menu and a live DJ, had a great time!

    Been going to Patricia’s of Morris Park for over 25 years. Food is fabulous. Wood fire pizza the best. The festive atmosphere and congenial spirit make our family dinners the perfect restaurant to go to.
