Best Casual Restaurants in Rio Grande

Lovely quiet spot off Washington St. excellent service. Varied, creative menu. Calamari app had light breading with a perfect light hot touch. The short rib parpadelle was heavy with a lot of shredded meat and a heavy tomato sauce. The bread pudding was delicious. Would highly recommend everything except the short rib dish.

This is our first visit to Sandalwood Indian Kitchen Restaurant, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Om, our server was excellent. He was attentive. polite, and personable. We ordered the garlic naan, and it tasted very good. Next, we had the samosas as an appetizer, and they were excellent. The samosa filling was perfect. For our appetizers, we ordered Butter Chicken and Shrimp Biryani. The Butter chicken had a deep, flavorful, rich, tasty, smooth, creamy sauce. The shrimp Biryani had a few large shrimp. The rice was cooked to perfection. There was basmati rice and saffron rice with the shrimp. Both portions were plentiful. The decor was pleasant. Sandalwood India Kitchen is located one block west of the Garden State Parkway on Route 47. We will be returning to Sandalwood Restaurant.

Another delicious dinner at Venezia. Sad to find Milo has left but the waitress was top notch and the dinners were delicious. Great winter menu as well

The snapper fish was good. I ended up taking lots of it home. The portion was huge. The potato fries and soup were delicious. Daniel, our waiter, was exceptional. We will come here again.

Service: professional, attentive, very friendly. Food: nice presentation with great twists on classics (Cali Turkey Club was terrific). Ambiance: wonderful combination of a modern bar/restaurant, hometown sports bar with ample TVs everywhere including at booths, plus the live music was fantastic. Summary: If you are in the mood for a cool spot, great food, a great sports bar, or great live music, Fairview checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it.
