    Our server Lauren was excellent…we had allergy issues and she was very attentive and helpful! We ordered the clams oreganato and was slightly disappointed with them…all breadcrumbs and very little clams. I felt overpriced for what you get. Otherwise, food, service and ambience excellent!

    On a busy, busy night, Christmas Eve, we didn’t feel rushed for a second, Dalton was terrific, handled our weird questions with ease and grace, she was a lively and lovely part of our time at Brothers. If we weren’t in the Christmas spirit, it wouldn’t have been for long. The bar, restaurant and outdoor space are decorated for the holidays, not an inch or dollar was spared, absolutely spectacular, tasteful and joyous decorations everywhere. Magnificent, really. We inhaled oysters, so fresh, perfectly shucked, could have eaten another dozen (and then some), delicious wines and cocktails, then three delish entrees including special. No room for dessert. A perfect night, will be back. And back again, thank you!

    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!

    ALWAYS an outstanding meal, service & ambience. DC's dumplings are a must have appy! I'm hooked on their Lobster Risotto and Short Ribs but went out of my realm with their pork chop with extra Parmigiano Reggiano ~ absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for any occasion or just go for a delicious meal any time!!!!
