"Sort of a weird experience here. First of all, though they don't say it on the website, they expect each guest to order an entree and will charge a 10 dollar fee if you'd like to share an entree. We came here explicitly because we wanted to share a selection of their mezze plates, which they did let us do but only because we ordered more than 2 per person, which was definitely more food than we needed . They then proceeded to bring all the food 10+ dishes!! at once. Perhaps my perceptions are warped by living in a larger metro area, but in my experience, typically at a small plates/tapas/mezze restaurant the meal is coursed so your food doesn't get cold and your table isn't overly crowded. We found the onslaught of dishes very overwhelming and the service thus somewhat disappointing.The food itself was good not great, but good . The watermelon and feta was the highlight of our meal, along with the meatballs and halloumi with apricots. Not much to say here--the selection of mezze plates is wide and varied, the food is fresh and of a fair quality for an upscale restaurant. The setting on the outdoor patio was absolutely gorgeous--I would return just for drinks on the patio a million times over. Truly one of the most stunning restaurants I have seen outside of New York City. Well done there!Finally, the pricing is OUTRAGEOUS. Really, really, really crazy. Especially once you factor in the entree sharing fees and their ordering expectations. We spent $300 for 5 people $30 on drinks for 3 , and while we over ordered because we wanted to get mezzes, even if each member of our party had gotten an entree as required , the meal would have been at least $250. The prices rival upscale restaurants in New York City and Boston, and the quality of the food certainly doesn't merit that type of price tag. It is better than much of what you'll find outside the city, but you can find a meal of a pretty similar quality for considerably less money in Morristown.Overall, the atmosphere is fantastic, but the service, food and pricing leave much to be desired. I'd recommend it for drinks and perhaps a light meal apps, if they change their policy to let you do that... but not a full meal for a crowd. A good date night spot too."

"DELIGHTFUL ISLAND VIBE! Oh my gosh we just left this DARLING restaurant and I’m in love! We had an excellent breakfast on 2/21/2022. The cheese omelette was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of cheese, not too much and not too little. We also had the pan au chocolate (chocolate croissant) which came to us warm and the outside was the perfect amount of crispy layered yummy-ness that a croissant should be. I had an iced mocha that was delicious! I initially ordered the Nitro Cold Brew but didn’t like it and they graciously and quickly offered to exchange. Big Ben was THE MAN! He has a truly kind and lovely spirit. He makes you feel welcome in such a genuine authentic way. He was a one man show today and managed everything with grace and kindness and efficiency. Another VERY important element they have nailed is their music! Too many places think that louder is better. We don’t patronize those places. Bongo’s plays wonderful island style music at the perfect level to provide a great vibe and patrons can carry on conversation. Well done!!! And the grounds! So inviting and island-y feeling! Corn hole. Large size Jenga. Conversation areas with sofas. Hammocks. Walk in here and feel at home and your stress level drop. Well curated selection of beer. Wine also served. I give this fine establishment my highest recommendation *Edited to add: One reviewer mentioned the lack of sides with the meal. In contrast I appreciated VERY much not being tempted by too many empty calories!!! I ate the broiled tomato and greens on my plate. Tasty and healthy! My waistline appreciates healthy choices! God Bless you Bongo’s!"
