    We went for brunch with my parents and friends. We had such a wonderful time. The brunch is absolutely amazing the choices are so numerous, you don't even know where to start. If you love seafood, this is the brunch for you. All the clams and oysters on the half shell you can eat along with shrimp cocktail, mussels, ceviche, sashimi and sushi. You can even talk to the sushi chef! They also have everything you would want for breakfast plus salads, pastas, a carving station, chocolate fountain and even a soft serve machine! Plus they have menu items like avocado toast and eggs benedict that are included in the price. Everyone at our table was thrilled with their meals.

    Had a fabulous time. The food was amazingly delicious, we shared an order of the calamari as an appetizer, wow, the sweet chili sauce was great. I had the short ribs as an entree my husband had the surf n turf, so much food took home a huge doggie bag. We shared a piece of cheese cake with salted caramel sauce on it. Will definitely be back. The atmosphere and service was on point! Our waiter Cory was very helpful in our selections and extremely attentive to our needs. 5 stars!!

    Semolina is always our first choice when we come back to NJ. As usual is was phenomenal!!! The coffee crusted venison carpaccio was tender and delicious. I had the squash angolotti that were plump and the creamy sauce has just enough truffle and pepper notes. My husband had the spicy octopus ragú and it was light and flavorful. Finished the night with a hefty pot de crème that was perfection. Trish was out server and she was attentive, witty and efficient as the dining room was filling up punctuated by Bryson and Jillian who made sure we had everything we needed. once again walked away full and happy!
