A New York style restaurant in Scotch Plains NJ? That's weird, but good. The food was also good. We had the squash salad, brussel sprouts and bacon-wrapped dates. (We weren't very hungry.) All yummy.

A perfect early bday dinner with family for our 9 year old. Several other families at our 5:30 time slot but not overwhelming with kids at all. I’ve loved this spot as a date night, friends out, or family get together. Service was amazing, food was great, ambience warm and elevated cozy. This is a new go-to.
