Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Franklin Park

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at 618 for Valentine's Day and it truly exceeded my expectations in every way! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful decor - the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of modern and elegant touches. But what really made my experience stand out was the exceptional service. Our server Nick was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking the time to answer all our questions and make recommendations. He was prompt and efficient, refilling drinks and clearing plates with a smile. And then, of course, there was the food. Each dish was expertly prepared and presented. I was blown away by the quality and every bite was a delight. Overall, I would highly recommend 618 to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The combination of stunning decor, outstanding service, and incredible cuisine makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a special night out.

I have been here 2 or 3 dozen times over the years. The food is consistently delicious. The menu varied enough between two people whose tastes range from Steak / Fries to uber clean fish preparations. The service staff has been supberb. Never an issue no matter who is covering the table. We always prefer the table by the window. Excellent selection of wines. A little pricey butthese days everything is, and you deserve this!

First time there! The service was excellent and the food was perfect! We ordered paella and enjoyed it so much! My only complaint was sitting down close to others I felt like we couldn’t talk. Seating was just too close for me.

Amazing food. Unpretentious. Value for money. Great decor. Wonderful experience. After dining at overhyped expensive restaurants in Philly and NYC, Enoterra in Princeton is a welcome respite. Wonderful food and flavors, beautifully cooked dishes served without the need of long explanations, exotic ingredients, flowers, or tweezers. Just well cooked, well presented yummy food. And friendly and impeccable service to boot. And not bad in price. We came out of a prix fixe valentines dinner with drinks at less than $300 including tax and tip. And they sent us home with a complimentary olive loaf! Would love to come back for happy hour.

We have been celebrating Valentine Day here for years. The food and staff are always outstanding. The chef is a genius. From the bread basket to the desert to the fancy sparkling waters this place never disappoints. The lobster dish alone is worth a trip here.
