Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Penns Grove

Service solid, kind, and quick! Loved that. Also enjoyed the tacos, vodka penne, and thank you for keeping the black bean burger. It’s so flavorful. However, although the food is generally solid, the choices of veggie sides now just being incredible bitter broccolini or spinach just isn’t great. Im a huge veggie lover, but I left the whole side of broccolini on the plate. Broccoli alone or bringing back the roasted veggies would be a welcome add. Also, the kids Mac and cheese being elevated from Kraft would be appropriate. Or at least make that a side kids can order. Most restaurants make their own in house and it’s appreciated/noticed.

Prices on some of the entrees are too high but the food is delicious and it is always a great experience with great service!

We really enjoyed our dining experience the evening of December 23, 2024. The noise level was perfect, the music playing was enjoyable, and not overly loud. We could enjoy conversation without shouting at one another. Our server was attentive, without being overly bothersome. She made excellent recommendations, was friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out quickly, was prepared properly, and tasted excellent. We all truly enjoyed our experience, and advised the manager who came by our table of our compliments.

Pre-theater dinner. We were quickly seated and our server arrived promptly and cheerfully. Two of us had familiar favorites which did not disappoint, two had new to us combinations involving scallops and shrimp. Both were richly flavored and enjoyable.

We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.
