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.

Awesome food & presentation. We went there last year for Valentines too. It’s simply exceptional. Service & management this time was a bit chaotic. We were on time for our 800 pm reservation but could get seated only at 8:30 pm. Delicious 8 course meal but it started for us at 9:15 and then subsequent courses got delayed. We finished dinner by 11:30 pm…wayyyy too late than expected Last year (2024) things moved much more smoothly. If you have time and in no rush then this place is worth it. Bit pricey but then you don’t go out for a fancy dinner every day 🙂

We made a reservation and we’re seated right away. We were seated in the enclosed patio which was nice and warm by the fire pit. Our server told us their system was down so all orders were old school written down. It didn’t seem to affect service that much. The food was good with big portions. Out server was great, friendly and attentive. The only downside is the noise level, especially with one person who was so loud and obnoxious. Even with that it was a nice Valentines dinner.

We have been going to Metropolitan Cafe for over 20 years. We absolutely love their food, drinks and the ambiance.

Fantastic meal all around. Roman gnocchi is always a must, the artichoke appetizer was delicious as well. The pizzas and pasta speak for themselves and are some of the best in NJ. The pistachio tiramisu was a great finish to an amazing meal. When my wife and I are celebrating special occasions, we always find ourselves at La Lupa. Keep up the great work.
