   "I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The potato-leek soup was amazing and the Bibb lettuce salad was refreshing.Everyone loved the flat iron steak. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable."

   Our party was seated immediately. Large menu to choose from. We arrived before 6:00 pm and ordered from the early bird menu. From soup to desert everything was great. One thing that I love is that the food is sizzling and piping hot always. Very satisfied all around.

   Food was great, specially the salmon. The lady at front desk was not really friendly. I think I will come back and try some other dishes.

   For us this was a trip and half down memory lane. I was born in Perth Amboy. My family's businesses were there. My grandparents (both sides) lived there and raised their children there. The Barge was where we often went for Sunday dinner. I still have memories of steaks and seafood on sizzling plates served by wait staff who pieroeted between men and women dressed ala "Mad Men" constantly standing and greeting old classmates and friends. It was a scene. I'm glad to say that while the crowd has changed the ambience and the food has not. The scallops still arrives tender and sizzling and the stuffed flounder is flaky and moist not dry and over cooked even on a crowded Saturday night. I enjoy trying new things. I love being adventurous with food, but there are times when I long for the known. For good food delivered with competence and heart. So" viva la Barge.

   this casual neighborhood restaurant was the perfect spot to meet up with friends. Service was excellent, delicious lobster and king crab legs.

   Old fashion restaurant but you can get decent seafood that is not too pricy.

   Food was fair. Had the broiled lobster platter, crab app and a cup of the chowder. Not awful but eh. Lots of butter. Baked potato served in tin foil. Butter packets. Was expecting something a little nicer and a little more upscale.

   Had dinner on Valentine's Day. This app. Was on point. Seated immediately. The specials were good but could order off the menu. Food was good, not great. Excellent customer service. Nevertheless a good deal on a busy day.

    THE WOMAN WHO GREETS YOU AT THE DOOR IS BRUTAL. SHE ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY. BEEN GOING THERE FOR YEARS AND SHE HAS NEVER BEEN HAPPY OR PLEASANT.
