Huge disappointment
DESCRIPTION: Get ready for a shock. Difficult to get to. Menu offered 4 seafood specials, all sold out at 8:30pm, EXTREMELY loud restaurant (really can't talk at a table for two - have to almost shout). Our food was above average at "haute cuisine" prices. AND, please note: The liquor is watered down to, I'd guess, 50%. This is not an opinion. After ordering two EXPENSIVE martinis and tasting little to no alcohol, I ordered a shot of Vodka to taste it and determine the problem. The shot glass had BUBBLES along the interior (impossible with straight alcohol), and my girlfriend and I both took big drinks of it - MINIMAL ALCOHOL TASTE!!!! This is called THEFT in any book. I noted this to the waiter - no comment. Emailed the owner - no response. Wrote the liquor board - no response. Be prepared to be ripped off and waste your money here. I'm not a complainer. Believe me, these are the FACTS, Jack.

A "Pleasant" Surprise
DESCRIPTION: We visited the Lobster Shanty this week not expecting much, based on our experience with the Jack Baker's outlet in Hightstown. The building is obviously brand-new, as it still smells of drywall and paint. We were seated in a corner with two glass walls overlooking the Manasquan Inlet. We watched fishing boats returning from sea, and a few people net fishing in the estuary as the sun set. I ordered Lobster, of course. It was fresh, properly cooked, and delicious. My dining mates had crab cakes, which got rave reviews, and my wife enjoyed a blackened Mahi-Mahi. Service was a bit amateurish, but this is the shore. All in all, it was a very nice experience.

Wow -- What an Experience
DESCRIPTION: I visited on Sat, October 5th. What an experience. Elegance and the best food I have ever had. Owners were extremely cordial. No Clique-y attitudes here. The Servers, Stewart and Calvin, were outstanding. The food was served in such a relaxed manner, with a little break in between courses. We were never pressured to eat and run. A friend of mine in Florida, Cici, highly recommended this treasure to me and for this I will always be grateful. Thank you everyone at "Tomatoes" for an experience I will never forget and hope to have again soon.

THE place to dine
DESCRIPTION: Recently, we took a group of 6 to lunch at the restaurant. From the moment you enter the front door, you know that this is THE place to expect and receive the highest quality food and service. It was an experience to remember. The Crab Cake platter is the best I've ever had (including on trips to Europe). Succulent crabmeat (minus the standard fillers you find in most restaurants). The Pasta with pruciosotto and sun dried tomatoes was exceptional. The Squid platter was again -- the best. Not only is the food excellent, the presentation is definitely a 4-star. This is THE restaurant that you definitely do not want to miss if you are looking for that exceptional expereince in dining in a restaurant that CARES about GOOD FOOD and SERVICE!

Best in the World!
DESCRIPTION: Romeo's is my favorite restaurant of all the places that I have ever eaten. My family and I eat there so much that sometimes it feels as if I live there. Everytime I go there, I order Spaghetti and tomato sauce and I never tire of it. The atmosphere is great -- not too bright, not too dark...comfortable. The waiters are attendant and are there if you need them, always smiling. Never do they let your water glass empty. The owners not only supervise, but work there as well, intereacting with customers. Romeos is just great. I could eat there every day for the rest of my life. And best of all, its not just a restuarant, but a pizza place as well! After softball my dad and I always eat there. Some weeks during the summer, I'm there every day. The pizza is great. The whole place is great

Nice dining room and good take out too
DESCRIPTION: My family and I love the place even if we do get sick of italian food after awhile. Besides the fine food, the staff bends over backwards to make the experience as pleasant as possible. I even went ahead and got an account for my organization. We get pizza for our meetings and whenever we have to work through dinner time.

Wow!
DESCRIPTION: With the absolute BEST desserts in the Lehigh Valley, and also top gourmet appetizers and entrees, you can't go wrong at Sugar! Lunch is probably the best value, as dinner does get a bit expensive, but the BYOB feature helps save money on the wine tab. Truly Parisian-gourmet-level desserts that taste as good as they look. Awesome! Appetizers and entrees are also beautifully presented, amply-portioned, and delicious bite after bite. I've eaten here three times in the last three months, and we have been 100% satisfied with the food and service every time. You will not be sorry when you dine at Sugar!

Good Choice
DESCRIPTION: Ate at Sugar for first time last night, it was delicious. Recommended by a friend and I would definitely recommend it myself. We had the Crispy Asian roll appetizer, excellent, and I had the lump crab cake entree, which was so delicious I ate the whole thing, even though I was trying to save room for dessert! We ate two desserts and brought three home, enough said. Just go!

Even without dessert it's good
DESCRIPTION: My friends and I aren't much for dessert so we focused on the appetizers and dinner which were all very good. We had the crispy Asian roll and the shrimp appetizers, then homed in on the polenta, orechiette, and steak entrees. Service was great and the food was excellent. Servings were large (I enjoyed the remaining polenta and pasta the following day).

A definite 5 star restaurant
DESCRIPTION: Exceptional food and service. Portions are large and delicious. The Paella, Chicken in garlic sauce, and Veal dishes are all great. The staff is as professional as they get. I also had a steak and loved it. It was huge and tender and better then a steak house.
