Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Galloway Township

The food was amazing and our server, Amer, was outstanding! As steakhouses go this was definitely one of the better ones we’ve enjoyed. Portion sizes for appetizers was great for sharing. We had several including the crispy shrimp, braised pork belly, calamari, chicken fried lobster, and meatballs. All were really yummy - the meatballs were probably the best I’ve ever had. Although Amer told us the salads were individually portioned, the Caesar salad was huge (plenty to share) and the beet salad could easily serve 2 or 3. Our steaks and my pork chops were cooked perfectly. Steak 48 will definitely be in the dining out rotation going forward.

Main food course came out wrong had to wait for it to be remade while my wife’s came out correct. She got to eat while I waited for it to be remade. Server was a bit off on timing and lack of attention. Still a good meal and nice experience but it was a bit off last night.

This is about the tenth time we’ve eaten here over the years. It has always been one of our favorites and must stops. This time was different. We were greeted by a hostess that had a plate of food at the hostess station. I have never seen that in my life and do not want to see it at a fine dining restaurant. I remember a time when you were served a small charcuterie board but not anymore. I get it but miss it. The Caesar salad was ok but had a sprinkle of cheese on top. Not near enough to give it the taste. My branzino special was large but was a bit bland. My husband liked his salmon but the piece was really small. Not like he remembered. We were thankful for the bowl of Parmesan left at our table and the mousse dessert was perfect; light and not too sweet. I will go again but it was just a little off this time.

The restaurant itself looked tastefully decorated for the holidays allowing us to relax in a holiday mood. The food and wait staff was amazing as usual. The time that stuck out most to me was when the acting manager came over to our table to say hi and see how our night was going. He remembered that we were married there 6+ years ago. That attention to detail is what makes this establishment our night-out dining choice.

We always enjoy our dining experience at La Finestra. Our meals were delicious. The service was excellent. The entire staff is friendly and warm. They treat you like family. Can’t wait to return.
