- MMicheleVIPNew York City •46 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAs in the past, Limani is a staple in Central Jersey for fresh seafood and fish, prepared to a highest level of excellence, from taste to presentation. Tonight, we tried two new items for us, but not new to Limani: lobster bisque (excellent, who knew it had just the right amount of kick to differentiate from other lobster bisques out there?!), and the cod in tomato broth was superb! Additional oldies but delicious goodies: salmon with horseradish, shrimp santorini, and their famous Bronzino, so soft it falls off the skin and so tasty! Highly recommend 👍More infoLimani Seafood GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Westfield•4.7

- II .New York City •2 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024We come here at least once or twice a year for special occasions because the food is always reliably delicious. We had the garlic shrimp for appetizer, which is the ABSOLUTE BEST. The bread and garlic dip are a truly dangerous combo. We can never stop eating it, so by the time dinner comes we're usually already pretty full! My husband had the french onion pork chop (a very large-sized pork chop), I had the steak tips with egg noodles stroganoff (not typically on their menu), and my daughter had the chicken francaise (she always gets this because the chicken is so tender and the sauce is so tasty). Our waiter was super friendly and humorous. The interior of the restaurant is usually plain, but at Christmas is always festively-decorated.More infoGarlic Rose Bistro - CranfordPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Cranford•4.9
- DDanielNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024Amazing! I dined with a party of 7, although we reserved for 8 it was no problem seating us. We sat upstairs where it was a little tight space but you surely forget that when the water is distrubuted as soon as you are seated. Chandler welcomed us almost immediately as our server for the night and apologize for any delay throughout the night because it was just two servers on a busy X-Mas eve night. My partner and I had the Grilled Beef Kabab with the Honey Jerk wings for the starters and it was amazing. The presentation on the kebab was exuberant with the blue fire still managing to engulf the bell peppers and kebab. The wings had a kick but not too spicy, just the way I liked. For our entree we had the lamb chop with jollof and sweet plantains and the Jaimacan chicken and shrimp with sweet plantains. Both dishes were amazing. Chandler stood out by checking on us and bringing my girlfriend and our other guest who were celebrating birthdays together, both cheese cake on the house. Gratuity included makes sense for an establishment like this. They deserve the Gratuity. Being that my lady and I have been here multiple times, Chandler has always managed to be our server each time and remembers us everytime. We look forward to coming back each and every time because of the food and the service. Finally, for drinks, my Lady had the Beach party and I had the Brazilian Kiss. The Brazilian Kiss was soo good, I order more for the table. Overall, amazing experience 4.5 StarsMore infoHouse 157 Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Roselle Park•4.5
