- JJamesvipNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIt is always a great experience at The Highlawn. I have enjoyed every meal I have eaten there. It is the perfect place for date night or a business meal with important clients. The Highlawn is one of my favorite places to wine, dine, and entertain in north New Jersey.More infoThe HighlawnPrice: Expensive• American• West Orange•4.4
- AAnneNew York City •15 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFood is fantastic. Service was excellent. it is a little 'brisk' feeling as the table spaces are a little tight and it is hustling and bustling but its a great place and you'll love the food. It may not be the soothing romantic place - probably best for meeting up with friends or established couple!More infoLaboratorio KitchenPrice: Moderate• Italian• Montclair•4.8
- LLynnNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoMy late husband and I were in from the beginning of Zeugma. Now, many yrs later, the many outstanding experiences, it’s hard to rate any one factor above the others. The food of course is superb! The service! The beauty of the surroundings. But above ALL, it is the friends we made— some have moved on — some remain — some to be made! Zeugma treats us as family. 🙌🏼🙌🏾 A special haven of bliss. Thank you, Can, Bork, Bola, Johan and I’ll never forget Matt and Elif. Apologies to those not named here!More infoZeugmaPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Montclair•4.8
