    We’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile and finally did for Mother’s Day, it was great. Seated us right away and waiter was friendly and attentive. Food was excellent! Chicken Parm was remarkable and enough for three people. My wife’s salmon was flavorful and cooked perfectly. We will return!

    One of our favorite restaurants in NJ. It’s evident the chef is a perfectionist. Every detail is perfectly attended to - even the rolls are out of this world. The quality of the seafood and salmon is like no other. And the beautifully presented dishes are so fabulously flavorful. Highly recommend!!
