"We lived in Berkeley Heights for 27 years and were frequent patrons of your wonderful restaurant. 3 years ago we moved to southern Delaware 3 1/2 hours south. Yesterday we were up in New Jersey and we came back to our favorite place to eat. As usual we were not disappointed. We had fabulous food, great conversation with our waiter and to top it off you send us back to Delaware with a bag full of your super bread! The only thing you could do to improve your restaurant would be to open up another one in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We look forward to our next trip to New Jersey. It is worht the 7 hour drive."

We don't even consider any other restaurant, because to us there is no better place. The food is just great, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is so worth every penny. We just love it and we have such a good time when we go and we have yet to have a bad experience there. In almost seven years that is a great record to maintain."
