"We were going to NJPAC so we chose this restaurant for it 's proximity and because we 're huge fans of Chef Marcus (from TV). Overall, the experience was delightful,. We were greeted warmly when we entered and everyone made us feel right at home. I had the chicken and waffles. I asked for dark meat but was advised that the dish only came with white meat, so that 's what I got. It was fabulous! Delicious and juicy boneless chicken breasts. My husband ordered the short ribs and they were also quite tasty. The 2 biggest disappointments were the chicken trio appetizer and the charge for water: The chicken app just tasted plain and too lightly seasoned. From it 's description, we were expecting 3 distinctly different chicken items. It wasn 't that. It was 3 meatballs (bland) covered with a tomato sauce stewed chicken and brussel sprouts. I 'm still unclear what the 3rd item in the trio was supposed to be. The cornbread was delicious and perfect! Our waitress asked us if we wanted sparkling or still water. We requested still water and were surprised to see a $7 charge for a bottle of water. It was a very nice looking bottle of water, but when we requested still we just figured that meant tap water, as is usually the case in USA restaurants. My suggestion to the restaurant management team: Have your Servers ask diners if they prefer bottle or tap water. If they choose bottled, offer still or sparkling. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tastefully, thoughtfully decorated, clean and lovely restaurant."
