Chef Adam always delights with his creative combinations and amazing specials. The Mahi Mahi was delicious, as was the cream brûlée cheesecake dessert- My all time favorite. Everyone enjoyed their meals from appetizers to desserts. Service is friendly and efficient- never rushed. Heddy is the perfect hostess!

New Year's Eve at F1rst was as good as hoped. Adam Weiss continues to prove himself as one of the best chef's in NJ. With great food at a reasonable price, terrific atmosphere, Mom Hedy at the front and the kind of service you hope for on NYE, there is simply no better option. And all year long it's the perfect spot for a low key BYOB restaurant. LOVE this place.
