Vidalia Restaurant

We recently had our wedding reception at Vidalia, and it was absolutely wonderful. :) The food was amazing, as usual, our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was (and I'm still thinking about it!) Salvatore went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He was so kind and accommodating and all of the staff were equally fantastic. Everyone we interacted with was warm, professional, and attentive. They made us feel so welcome made sure everything ran smoothly on the day so we could just relax and enjoy the celebration. Could not have been a better reception for a small wedding! Thank you for everything Salvatore & team!

Booked the private room for my sister's bridal shower. Chef Sal was very accommodating and kind. The waitstaff was attentive and kind as well. The room has everything that you need for an intimate gathering. The food was tasty and the guest really enjoyed their experience. Their banquet packages are also reasonably priced. We were also able to bring in our own decor for the tables. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a social event. Thank you Vidalia!

Overall a great experience. The main dining room is small but cozy and welcoming. Service was excellent. Great menu. The Vidalia French onion soup was great, and we enjoyed the arancini and mozzarella appetizers. The steak, sole, and seafood pasta dinners were mostly excellent. The limoncello cake and the tiramisu were great . Very nice!

I recently Booked a private event at Vidalia to have my sister‘s bridal shower. The owner Sal was easy to work with and very accommodating. The venue was perfectly set up for our arrival and everything promised was delivered. The Outdoor space was already beautifully designed, so it required minimal decorations to achieve an elevated look. Vidalia had the perfect charm we were looking for! The staff was attentive and kind. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a food allergy that I did not know about. On the fly, they tweaked the fixed menu to provide the guest with another meal. I would absolutely book here again. The food was delicious and it has great ambience. 10/10!! If you’re looking for a place to eat dinner or a venue for a small party, consider this place a slam dunk! It will not disappoint.

Nice little restaurant in Lawrenceville. We went dining for dinner and the staff were nice and the food was good. The price was a little on the higher end and it’s a BYOB. Nice romantic place to dine in. There was also patio seating but I don’t think it was available when we went. They also gave us free dessert which was nice

Decent Italian restaurant. Owner is a very nice gentleman visiting and seeking feedback to improve and understand his customer tastes. Ravioli was great.

Hosted a private event at Vidalia this past Saturday for 50 people. Salvatore (owner) was great to work with and everything he promised was done perfectly. The food presentation was spectacular and extremely delicious. No surprises. The staff is well trained and polite. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Came here with my family to have one last nice dinner out before I give birth to my baby. I really enjoyed the food and I especially enjoyed the fried calamari. It was delicious! We loved our server. We were impressed by the service. He was so warm and welcoming. I would recommend this as one the best Italian restaurants in Mercer. Highest ranked!

Haven't been to Vidalia for awhile so was looking forward to it. Had to sit inside so VERY VERY noisy. Our waiter (Joey?) spoke very loudly also so added to noise. The short ribs/ risotto was excellent--or so I thought. the half I took home was 80% fat. I thought $44 was pricey for the amount that was eatable. Other fish special was $55. Nice to be BYO & wait staff usually customer oriented but rationalizing prices is difficult.

I came here to celebrate my retirement with a friend and my sister, and was happy with my choice of venue. We booked an inside dining room weekday 11:30 a.m. table, since I don't like to dine anywhere during crowded weekends. Everything was perfect - the restaurant was calm, relaxed and charmingly quaint; waiter Joe and his team were friendly and efficient; the food was delicious; and it is BYOB. Also, it is nice that the free municipal parking lot is right behind the restaurant, making it an easy place to meet with friends. We spent two and a half hours and had three delicious courses. The bourbon shrimp was delicious and unique, and I conclude it must be one of the chef's signature dishes, since I tried to find a recipe to replicate it and could not find an exact match. The onion stuffed with fennel sausage and vegetables was also outstanding. Being copycats, all three of us ordered canneloni entrees and thoroughly enjoyed the dish. We finished with cappuccinos, limoncello cake, and lemon custard tarts. My guests and I really enjoyed my retirement lunch here!

The food and service were amazing. It was a special treat when the chef/owner came to our table. I like the cozy atmosphere. It's a homey vibe. Our only mistake was forgetting to BYO wine. Parking can be tight around there, especially at lunchtime. Recommend reservations, cuz the place fills.

Went back for first time in years. Service was very good but food was not up to the high end pricing and what you would expect. I have a mix seafood over pasta and it was all completely over cooked. Not sure we will be back soon

A complete trifecta! Excellent service with Joe, all dishes were cooked to perfection, huge selection on menu. Dessert also terrific, had the lava cake.

It was the second time my friends and I stopped by this place, and it still is such a wonderful experience! We got a chance to sit outside, which really added to the relaxing atmosphere. We had a large group, so we all got a selection of appetizers to share. All of which was delicious and well prepared. I got the La Caponata, which was well cooked and well sauced. Also very filling haha. Other standout entrees include the short rib and the cannelloni. We all had a great time, and the staff were so accommodating. Absolutely love this place - can't wait for our next visit!

The service is lovely. I had a special short ribs on risotto. It was OK not milf in your mouth. Delicious but certainly something I would go back for.

We dined this evening at Vidalia's where the service, ambiance and cuisine did not disappoint! Our entree selections were delicious! The eggplant parm served with pasta was very good and the chicken with sautéed mushrooms and figs in cognac light cream sauce was amazing!!!! Salvatore, the owner was visibly present..... making sure his dining guests were satisfied and pleased! The hostess, Chrissy and waitress, Mary were exceptional! We're definitely returning where it's surely an awesome night out! I need to vent one observance....there were a few tables near us where cell phones of the guests were visibly present and in use. If you're out dining to enjoy time together.....simply do that and turn your phones to silent! Enjoy each other.... Teach values to your children and appreciate each other!

Like most of you I have to admit that I like going out to eat. With the exception of the local pizzeria and the storefront Chinese joint, take-out just ain't my thing. So, it was with great expectation that we decided to try a new place (for us) Vidalia in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. This quaint Italian bistro comes with impeccable Yelp credentials and a word-of-mouth following that has been in the wind for years. So why the two star beat down? The place may be quaint but it's not inexpensive so the atmospherics I'll accept when I'm scarfing down a calzone at Rocco's Pompeii Palace just isn't cutting it at this price point. We made an inside reservation at 4:30 on a Sunday and were never told there was a private event occupying the entire inside dining room. So here we are "inside" a make-shift plastic enclosure that would have easily embarrassed FEMA. Maybe my mood would have improved if we were at least offered some morphine and a tourniquet. We weren't and it didn't as we were left to shout over a portable heating unit that had two settings - unplugged and prepare for takeoff. The food you ask? It was terrific. We shared some Veal Pulcinella and Cannelloni. Under conditions less suited to a natural disaster both would have had me punching in five stars. However, when you make a reservation there should have been far more transparency about available seating. At this late stage in life I'm just not going to start supplying my own morphine. Besides, the government always gets higher grade junk. Two stars.

If you want to spend 2.5 hours to eat dinner and don't mind watching other tables eat this might be for you. We had TERRIBLE waiter service, a manager with an attitude, food that took over an hour to arrive, and a forced 20% tip since we were a group of 5+. A dog (not a marked service animal) sat and shook in fright at the table behind us. The food is decent and most of the group liked (not loved) it, but the consensus agreed: a bit salty. Been here a few times each time thinking the negative experience was a fluke; as a result of many experiences with each getting more negative, I plan to not come back.

Can honestly say I've never had a bad meal here. The staff is always nice and accommodating, the seating even outdoors they've made a good space to dine. Would love to see a nice Bucatini all'Amatriciana or other Guanciale dishes but besides that the place is aces. Bravo

It's been a while... (yeah, I know, kids, I'm supposed to say "it's been a minute". So sue me :) Happy to report they still serve great food. I eat a little differently now, had two appetizers for dinner. Started with Insalata di Barbabietole, which consisted of a tower of diced red beets surrounded by a BUNCH of fruits, and topped with walnuts, goat cheese, and a surprisingly good honey balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This was perhaps the best salad I've ever eaten, definitely one of the best. My "main dish" was listed as an appetizer, though quite generous sized - Cozze Fra Diavolo (mussels fra diavolo.) Hot, spicy, fresh! Mussels were very good, and made perfect by a heavenly hot marinara tomato sauce. I chose those two dishes to avoid pasta and other carbs, and ended up asking for two little table loaves of Italian bread because I loved the sauce so much, AND I took the remainder home in a take-out tub. If you have a chance to eat here, and you do not, you are making a HUGE mistake. PS - owner/chef is a really nice guy, was our server.

Arrived they had several six chair, customer tables. But we only walked in with two people so they said they could not serve us at all. Very unexpected because we heard they had great reviews.

Good food, love the pasta pouches! Not always easy to reserve for Saturday night......reserve well ahead. BYOB is great too.

The original indoor seating area is limited here but the enclosed patio is nicely done. Specify your preference when you call ahead. Service can be slow giving you the impression they are understaffed (maybe?), but friendly and efficient enough that you won't be here forever. This is one of those local "nicer" places, great for special occasion dining or a date night. I believe all the pastas are made fresh in-house and there is sufficient variety for those who need some creative options as well as plainer-Jane options (you know which category of diner you are ;). Most recently held a work lunch here and personally ordered the salmon BLT, would order again. Everyone was happy. BYOB is a great feature as well.

This is one of the finest detail orientated restaurant in Mercer County The chef will always help in all your request, and the staff is excellent and friendly.

We just had a 50th anniversary party there and they knocked it out of the park. They were so helpful all along the way and the day of we had truly spectacular service. Each course was better than the last. My favorites were the mussels and sole. Thank you Salvatore and family!

We stopped here on the way back from a dance rehearsal - it was recommended by a friend who lived in the area. Excellent service, food, and cozy atmosphere having a late dinner on their outside patio. Highly recommend the stuffed mushrooms with sausage and red peppers as an appetizer! Looking forward to going back and trying more options.

Torn on how to rate this bc the first time I came here it was for a rehearsal dinner and the second time was for a special occasion. Both times food was out of this world. Loved every single bite I took! However, during our second visit our waiter was not the best (like at all). Not sure if he was new but he took forever to come to our table, we had to keep following up on our food order, and he never asked how we enjoyed our food. The table next to us didn't seem too happy with the service either. Would have given this review a higher rating but service was so disappointing. Awesome food & restaurant is BYOB.

The ambiance and service were fine, but unfortunately the seafood we ordered was subpar, especially for the price. if you choose to go to Vadalia, maybe order a traditional pasta dish. The people near our table seemed satisfied with their pasta dishes. We, on the other hand, were extremely disappointed with our meals.

Great apps, solid entrees, BYOB, fun desserts, and a solid capachino. What more do you need? Thank you, Salvatore, McKenzie, and crew for a great start to our weekend.

Wow. We were here several years ago and the place is - deja vu - the same. Still well-prepared food, happy, helpful servers etc. that we still liked but what has changed, or should I say deteriorated are the digs. Not comfortable inside seating at small, fake wood-flooring tables (I could be wrong but last time the tables had tablecloths).. Sorry, shabby chic is one thing -- but just unappetizingly grubby. Our table was right behind the service area and on the constant sightseeing tour to the small bathroom. Glad for Salvatore and his team for the good food that brings in the customers, it certainly isn't because of the ambiance. Bottom line? We'd still go back for the food.

If you ask me other Italian restaurants should really be taking lessons from these folks. Everything from the atmosphere which is just so welcoming to their unbelievable dishes and for what you get very reasonable prices. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available which is very nice depending on the season. We love that this place is sort of off the beaten path on a side road because it ties into the whole theme of this tiny eatery that packs a big punch in the tummy. Great business and great contribution to the community. Highly recommend!

Excellent gnocchi (amazing sauce), lasagna, chicken parm, and garlic bread. Pleasant, friendly service. We heard that the creme brulee was outstanding. Our piece - it's more of a slice of cheesecake - was ice rock hard. Good taste, but tough to eat.

The food at Vidalia is absolutely delicious! We had a small wedding dinner here and our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was. The service was excellent and it is BYOB. My only critique is that the outdoor area looked ugly because of the enclosed tenting that had been put up, bad time to host an outdoor wedding dinner I guess.

After living in the area for nearly 4 years we can say hands down that Vidalia Restaurant is in our top 3 and we've dined out hi and low in the region. Decor, service, food quality and presentation, value, BYOB, parking, online reservations, and above all the incredible dishes that come out of the kitchen. See our other reviews, see our food photos and notes. Last night was probably the best yet, a quick run through so that you can make your next reservation and ask for Diana, she remembered us, its been a while, she lite up, made our B-day celebration dinner a night to measure all others but others will not even come close. The experience started when we received a phone call confirming our 5:30 open table res, but I was still on a work call and it was nearing 5:15, I asked if we could push out to 6 pm; no problem, we'll see you then the hostess said. We were welcomed upon arrival, given choice of a table, cold water brought over, ice bucket for our wine, a basket of warm baked bread and Diane came over to share the specials with us. We started with their incredibly tasty Beet Salad, Diced red beets with figs, raisins, apricots, and walnuts, done tower style in our honey balsamic vinaigrette, topped with greens and goat cheese see photo, Diana had the kitchen spit the salad app into two plates, it was so refreshing and full of flavor. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Pulcinella with sautéed and topped with roasted red peppers, asparagus, and fresh mozzarella with a sherry wine sauce and a side of linguini and loved it. I tasted, was tender and full of flavor and boy I loved the spears of asparagus. I ordered off the specials menu, had the Lover Scallops- was a piece of culinary artwork--- alternating shrimps and scallops going around the outer edge of the plate garnished with many types of fresh fruit drizzled with balsamic vinegar and in the center was a piece of baked bread curved into a circle and inside was a tasty fresh arugula salad with cherry tomato halves and pieces of real crab. I have gone to food heaven with this meal. We were out of room when asked about dessert; however, Diana knowing it was my wife's birthday, and knowing us from past dining experiences, brought us the most special dessert with Happy Birthday drizzled on the plate. So special and boy was this a super tasty dessert from the specials menus. All in all a FABULOUS evening. Vidalia now moved up in our restaurant rotation. Be back soon.

Outstanding service and food. Great outdoor atmosphere. Definitely a spot to try if you're close to this location.

So delicious and great service! Mary was our waitress and she recommended the scallops and chicken fico and they were both delicious! The ambiance is warm and cozy. We are definitely going back again!

Made a trip over to try a new spot. The building is lovely and the restaurant makes you feel like you are at home. We ordered many options!! The homemade vidalia onion soup was a hit! We ordered the I Onion bread to start... amazing!! I had the vodka rigatoni without the prosciutto and it was probably the best I've ever had! Calamari was delicious with spinach and the rest of my group raced about their veal and chicken parm. Staff was amazing and came back to check in on us multiple times.. I felt like grandmom was cooking my meal from scratch! I would highly recommend!!! First time here and will definitely be back! BYOB as well!! Cheers!!

We always enjoyed our dinner at Vidalia. The outdoor seating area is completely heated. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our waiter Juan was great and tentative. I highly recommend the Osso Buco - great flavor and generous portion. The stuffed sole was special for the night - delicious with the creamy white wine sauce. Don't forget it's BYOB as well. They adjusted the price slightly recently and you can find their latest menu on their website.

The food is good, but not worth the premium price. The service was excellent, but the dining room is so small, crowded and NOISY, that I thought I was in Manhattan. Conversation was a challenge. Not sure I would go back, certainly not on a Saturday night.

We came for the first time during the Covid crisis and they have plenty of outdoor seating. We had a party of 4. It is a BYOB which is very nice because you save money on the drinks Service was fantastic and responsive. The meal started with some garlic bread. We had 2 appetizers. We had the special seafood Newburg and some calamari. The calamari was a bit small. I had the lamb chop and was big and cooked perfect. Food was delicious, we will be coming back.

We made dinner reservations for 2 people at 6:30 on a Friday night and we were seated right away inside their dining room. The dining room was very cozy and our waiter was incredibly attentive, given that we saw him wait on indoor and outdoor tables. We started with the mushroom and Vidalia onion soups, which did take a bit longer to come out. The mushroom was a special that night and was well seasoned and creamy. The onion soup came in a crock with plenty of cheese. I would have liked the onion soup to be a bit more seasoned as I thought it was a bit bland for my liking. For our mains we ordered the chicken saltimbocca and salmon with a side of penne alla vodka. The chicken and salmon were absolutely delicious, well prepared and so tasty. Each came with a side of sautéed spinach which was out of this world good. The pasta was also delicious and cooked to perfection. Overall, this is a good Italian restaurant that we will come back to try different dishes and specials.

Delicious food. Super tender pork chops. Loved the tiramisu. Friendly service. Definitely a hidden gem.

Videlia is a restaurant located just North of Hwy 495 on Route 206. The restaurant is quite small inside, but they do have a large patio that I imagine is full during spring, summer and fall. Videlia is a BYO restaurant, so you will need to carry with you any alcoholic drinks that you want to enjoy during your meal. I personally like being able to select and carry my own bottles of wine. The restaurant offers a nice selection of Italian pastas, meats and fish. A number of my colleagues ordered the pasta's which they said were excellent. I ordered the sea bass (pictured) on the recommendation of our server. My fish was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Everyone appreciated the excellent service and the dishes they selected. A great choice when you are in the area.

We had the pleasure of dining at Vidalia's last evening to celebrate Valentine's Day. We hadn't been to this wonderful restaurant since before the pandemic, so we were excited to go. It's a small, intimate place, although they have expanded into a heated, enclosed patio area which effectively doubles the space. Vidalia did not disappoint! We started the dinner with delicious garlic bread and moved onto a Caesar salad with the perfect housemad dressing! For our mains, my husband chose the rigatoni vodka, which he remarked was cooked perfectly. I ordered the sacchettini from the specials menu, which are little pasta purses stuffed with marscapone and pear puree finished in a champagne cream sauce. It was absolutely amazing! For dessert my husband had mini cannolis, while I enjoyed a delightful lemon marscapone cake that was very light and delicious! Vidalia is BYOB, so grab your favorite wine and head to Vidalia. You will be glad you did!

Outstanding restaurant in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Not only is the food wonderful, but the ambience is perfect. Plenty of room between tables, excellent weight staff, I would recommend.

I brought my family and friends with me for a nice dinner. The small place looked pretty cool, and we liked how the people were very kind and considerate. We ordered our food, but when the time came to eat it, it was... not as good as we thought. My son and I especially didn't like the food, and everyone thought it was at least a little too expensive for the not-so-great food. I don't know if we just tasted things differently or if the food was just genuinely bad. Despite all of that, all of us thought that the place was good, the gentle chatter and the fake fire just set a good mood throughout the dinner.

Delicious food; wonderful service. We ate indoors on a chilly night when we could have been in their covered and heated outdoor space which looked very cozy. A bit tight with the many tables indoors but all good! We will return!

We were at your restaurant for the first time on Saturday celebrating my nieces bday. First, let me say your staff was very, kind, attentive and professional. We were shocked when the extremely small portion of fried calamari was placed on the table, we just stared at it for a moment. Two of us ordered the special TWO chicken breasts with crab, which was canned crab meat. When it arrived, again the portion was very small for the price. A few moments later we realized there was only ONE chicken breast on each plate. We brought it to our waiters attention who apologized and quickly went to speak to the chef (who might I add should not be using a leaf blower right before he goes into the kitchen to cook!). The waiter came back and apologized again and said the menu had a typo. We were given an additional chicken breast each. We wondered if anyone else ordering this meal was given one chicken breast? The meal was acceptable, but it should have had real, lump crab meat for the price.

Terrible service, forgotten drinks and waited for entrees for over an hour without any update or apology. Other larger party tables that came after us received their food before us. By the time the entrees came we weren't hungry so I asked for the check and still had to wait over 20 minutes for them to run my card. Ambiance is very nice, beet salad was delicious but unfortunately won't plan to be back.

I LOVE this restaurant & hope to return! We split a REALLY GOOD spring mix salad that had gorgonzola, apples & walnuts w a balsamic dressing. Healthy & tasty. The garlic bread was okay - Not my favorite overall anywhere though. It helped sop up my yummy vodka sauce well though! My seafood special meal was insanely good! Succulent chicken & 3 large shrimp that were very tasty - over homemade pasta boasting the best vodka (cream) sauce Ive ever had! Beautiful presentation too! Our waiter was pleasant & attentive & we got to meet the chef/owner who we complimented his superb creations of course! That man can COOOK! Seems like a really nice person too :) Vince had a pappardelle entree w oyster mushrooms & asparagus in a light cheese sauce (he added chicken for an up charge). Very good!!!! & I loved the oblong bowl it was served in. My only complaint was feeling a bit crowded, despite the charming decor & beautiful artwork. We opted out for dessert since we eyed up 'The Purple Cow' for ice cream instead. Its a BYOB.

Food was good, nice that it's byob. Nice outdoor seating for these covid times. Menu said the dish was $16 but we were charged $19. When we pointed that out to a young waiter (not our waiter, we had a hard time catching our waiter's attention after he ran the card for the bill) he puzzlingly said that the prices had gone up from the menu, sorry for the confusion . I don't think it was us who were confused. So I dinged a star because you should charge the price that's on your menu and then when you don't, you should adjust the bill instead of saying something silly. Won't prevent me from going again but maybe some customer service training is in order? Or print new menus? That last bit of customer service was all wrong. Which was too bad because everything prior to that had been great. I have a feeling that if we had caught our waiter's attention, it would have been taken care of in the way it ought to have.

Fantastic! Vidalia is a local Lawrenceville Italian Gem that never fails to deliver exceptional food. Three of us stopped in for dinner Thursday and were treated to the usual fair of Italian appetizers and entrees. The difference was the care that was obviously taken in the foods preparation. Apps included; shrimp in a bourbon BBQ cream sauce. Don't let the name of this dish detract from your desire to order it. I too was confused by bbq on an Italian menu, however thanks to the insistence of our server, we ordered it and were blown away by the tender shrimp gently bathed in this delicious sauce. Next was Calamari; it's the usual Calamari you get at most fine restaurants, well cooked with a nice marinara on the side. !!! But there is a secret menu version of this dish!!! Order it Gluten Free (it gets rice flour instead of regular flour which gives it a ridiculous texture) with FraDiablo sauce and it's like no other calamari you've ever had!!! Entree of Oso Bucco was spot on as always. Dessert was the "Creme Brûlée Pie". Another unusual take on one of my favorite desserts. Highly recommend this one.

We came to Vidalia for a special meal and the restaurant was highly recommended by the couple dining with us. Upon arriving, the restaurant was not very full but immediately began to fill up rapidly. Our server was happy to tell us about the appetizers and entrée specials - and opened our two bottles of wine. After that it was pretty much downhill ... For appetizers we ordered the stuffed mushrooms and Vidalia Loaf. We then proceeded to wait almost 40 minutes for our appetizers while watching other patrons receive their appetizers even though they arrived after us. Our server brought us two salads to tide us over (they were underwhelming, however) and told us the problem was the Vidalia Loaf - it takes a long time to come out. Perhaps we should have been told that up front. On the plus side, the mushrooms turned out to be quite tasty but the Vidalia Loaf was not a hit at our table. My brother in law had ordered a Caesar Salad but cancelled it. Entrees consisted of Osso Bucco for me (it was very good), the seafood special for my wife (good as well but the risotto was not creamy at all), Chicken Parmesan for my brother in law and Chicken Marsala for his wife. Their entrees were adequate. The noise level was almost unbearable as well. All in all not a terrific experience for us and I will have to think about returning in the future. Three stars because I couldn't rate it at 2.5.

Last night was my third visit here, I have also sampled the chef's skills at a few food and beverage events. I've always felt that he takes pride in his ingredients and preparations, my most recent visit further confirmed that. The app specials were excellent. First, a perfect beet salad, even coming from a reluctant beet eater. A strange seafood app that consisted of 1 panko breaded shrimp, I small crab and lobster cake that was also panko breaded. Grape toms dressed in pesto and avocado slices drizzled with a balsamic reduction completed the busy plate. But it all worked, the cake was to die for. My aunt's veal Figo was great enjoyed, and a nice size serving too. My veal parm arrived in what can only be called a mis prepared condition. It was sent back and was nearly perfect when it came back out. Tender veal that was perfectly crisp sitting on top of savory homemade gravy. It needs to be said that the house bread is garlic and very good, my diet prevented me from destroying all of it. Service has always been great in my experience, and this night was no different. The patio has been updated since I was last here, now it features a large awning with lights strung in every support. This time of year the flowers are at their peak, it was nice eating among the various hibiscus. My only slight negative, and keep in mind this is due to the area as well, is that certain items seemed a bit over priced( app specials for example) But they say you get what you pay for, and that seems to be the case here.

Having lived in Lawrence township for so many years, we never came across this cute little restaurant on the Lawrence Main Street. So glad we finally tried it. As soon as you enter there's a lovely charm to the place, small but beautiful, they even have outdoor seating which is what we chose of course, on a summer evening! Service is impeccable and waiters are very knowledgeable about the what is being served and the specials they have for the day and will give you all the details that you want. The beetroot salad was delicious, never would I've imagined myself enjoying a beet salad :) We also got the days Special bruschetta which was very refreshing but also very filling. We got the Genovese pasta which was pretty delicious with the mushrooms and asparagus but was a little too heavy/creamy for us and we felt the peas really didn't go well with the pasta. Overall, a delightful meal in a beautiful setting. Definitely recommend for a intimate dinner, and don't forget to get your bottle like we did!

About a week ago we had a small party of 8 people and the food was absolutely delicious. Pricing was high for the dinner portion and appetizers. We went back the next week had ribeye steaks and filet mignon puff pastry the food was so disappointing. Not sure if it was a different chef. Because of the small portion, over priced and the four bad dinners that's why I gave this restaurant three stars.

Service was extremely friendly and attentive. However, food was rather heavy.
