Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Kenilworth

As in the past, Limani is a staple in Central Jersey for fresh seafood and fish, prepared to a highest level of excellence, from taste to presentation. Tonight, we tried two new items for us, but not new to Limani: lobster bisque (excellent, who knew it had just the right amount of kick to differentiate from other lobster bisques out there?!), and the cod in tomato broth was superb! Additional oldies but delicious goodies: salmon with horseradish, shrimp santorini, and their famous Bronzino, so soft it falls off the skin and so tasty! Highly recommend 👍

I’m just going to start off by saying, I love this restaurant! I booked Sweet Waters as a Birthday Brunch do-over for my sister from a horrible dining experience at House 157. Sweet Waters more than made up for her birthday. Our waiter was excellent, knowledgeable with the specials and recommendations and he always returned to our table to check on us. The plating was delectable and the meals were beyond delicious. I even asked for an extra Berry Pancake and it was delivered without any hassle. My sister was very happy with her Birthday do-over and Pumpkin Cheesecake. I will ALWAYS recommend Sweet Waters Steak House! Thank you

La Pergola has become one of our favorite local restaurants. We first dined there for Father's Day and had one of the most amazing and delicious experiences. The staff and wonderful family who owns the restaurant are first class in every way. You feel like you are part of their family as they are committed to making sure you feel welcomed and appreciated. We took our parents to La Pergola after seeing a musical at the Paper Mill Playhouse. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were warmly greeted and ushered to our table. The waiter and staff were very attentive and friendly. The meal was exquisite from beginning to end. Five stars is not enough to convey the experience you will have dining at La Pergola but will have to suffice for now. Thank you for being a mainstay in Milburn, NJ. We will be back soon!

Fantastic restaurant. We went here with one half of the family on Christmas Eve. It was so great that we took the other half here on the day after Christmas. Every dish was fantastic. Service is on point. Get there early and sit at the bar. Great vibe. Upscale, relaxed.

Amazing! I dined with a party of 7, although we reserved for 8 it was no problem seating us. We sat upstairs where it was a little tight space but you surely forget that when the water is distrubuted as soon as you are seated. Chandler welcomed us almost immediately as our server for the night and apologize for any delay throughout the night because it was just two servers on a busy X-Mas eve night. My partner and I had the Grilled Beef Kabab with the Honey Jerk wings for the starters and it was amazing. The presentation on the kebab was exuberant with the blue fire still managing to engulf the bell peppers and kebab. The wings had a kick but not too spicy, just the way I liked. For our entree we had the lamb chop with jollof and sweet plantains and the Jaimacan chicken and shrimp with sweet plantains. Both dishes were amazing. Chandler stood out by checking on us and bringing my girlfriend and our other guest who were celebrating birthdays together, both cheese cake on the house. Gratuity included makes sense for an establishment like this. They deserve the Gratuity. Being that my lady and I have been here multiple times, Chandler has always managed to be our server each time and remembers us everytime. We look forward to coming back each and every time because of the food and the service. Finally, for drinks, my Lady had the Beach party and I had the Brazilian Kiss. The Brazilian Kiss was soo good, I order more for the table. Overall, amazing experience 4.5 Stars
