Fish and chips - fish too small for the price and doesn't taste of much, the truffle parmesan chips weren't very good chips (almost certainly cheap frozen ones) and the amount of truffle and parmesan was pitiful. Also, it never said the type of fish used which is a pretty big oversight.
The delivery time was around half an hour which is good for jsy, the coke can was still cold (the price of the drinks is pretty ridiculous though, 2.70 for a can of soft drink? Really?)
Overall: Pretty disappointing, especially considering the price. I could do (and have done) better in my sleep and I haven't cooked professionally in over 2 decades.
Highly Recommended!
I’m new here in Jersey, and this was my first time trying this restaurant and wow, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming! You can really feel their hospitality even if you’re a first-time customer. 🥰
The food? Absolutely amazing! Every dish was delicious nothing was disappointing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasted like real home-cooked goodness.
The restaurant itself is very clean and aesthetic, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Totally worth every penny you’ll leave full, happy, and satisfied.
I’ll definitely come back again, and next time, I’m bringing my friends! 💯🍽️
Definitely worth a visit!
