Lunch 7/26/16
We got off at the wrong exit on the NJP and found a real jem of a diner in a nondescript strip mall. The restaurant facade in no way catches your eye, with just a plain sign, and double doors, but the minute you walk in you can tell this is not your run of the mill hash joint. As soon as we sat down we were given menus by our waitress; she was old school, the kind of server that makes you feel right at home.
Of the four soups of the day; cream of potato, chicken noodle, lentil, and onion my lovely and I chose lentil, and chicken noodle respectively.
The lentil soup was tasty but the real star was the chicken noodle; the savory chicken broth was paired with tender pieces of chicken, carrots, and pasta stars with the stars just the right consistency, not mushy at all.
For lunch we chose the patty melt, and the mezzelone sandwich
which included eggplant, onions, tomato, and mozzarella.
Both sandwiches were tasty, the mezzelone (one of the lunch specials), came with soup, fries, and desert. The coleslaw served with both sandwiches was homemade and delicious. The only downside was that the french fries were somewhat on the greasy side.
The fries could have kept this review at three stars but the waitress service pushed it over to four. When our server gave us the selection for desert my dear declined the offerings, the waitress (sorry I didn't get her name), but she was a lovely lady with blond hair), suggested taking some fresh fruit salad to go. A very welcome treat. I will definitely be back for another visit since we frequent NYC, it is only one exit past the Garden State Parkway entrance and well worth the time.
My first time at this diner was after drinking and partying into the wee hours of the night. My date and I enjoyed the breakfast sampler which is a sure way to please everyone. The coffee is strong, the service is attentive and the orange juice is fresh. Decent food at a great price!!
