Lorena's - Maplewood

I went to Lorena 's this evening as I was craving a burger and they have good ones. We were having a lovely time. I ordered two glasses of cab Sauvignon at 12 each. When the bill came, we were charged $52. We mentioned this to our waitress and the manager Mario came over. He proceeded to say that they didn 't have the wine on the menu. I said that was never shared with me. He said there 's nothing I can do . At that point I said of course you can do something you are the manager. He ended up taking a glass $26) off the bill. As we were leaving the restaurant, the owner/chef Humberto was waiting for us and asked us about our experience. I said the food was good but I explained what happened with the wine. He then proceeded to accuse me of using profanity in the restaurant. I never ever curses at people. I 'm so absolutely disgusted with how we were treated. Entire fiasco could have been avoided by taking off the glass of wine without an argument in the first place. Wow.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a great experience. The portion sizes were perfect for one person. We ordered some appetizers to share and everything was delicious. The salmon tartare, butternut squash hummus, escargot, pork chop, duck, mushroom soup, and filet mignon were all excellent. I would definitely come back here again. The town center is cozy and there is street parking available. The service was also good for dining in.

A Wonderful comfortable restaurant with amazing service and delicious food. My steak was amazing as were the pork chop , fish duck and appetizers. Mario and the staff took great care of us. Definitely a 10 star experience. I highly recommend Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Lorena's is one of my top choices for dining in New Jersey. I particularly enjoy the filet mignon and pork chop dishes, as well as the delicious soups. The rib eye is decent, but the duck could use some improvement. The cheeseburger and burrata salad are both tasty options, and the cocktails are consistently great. For a vegetarian meal, the butternut squash roast is a delicious choice. The complimentary bread could be better, as it's often not warm enough and lacks freshness. The service at Lorena's is always excellent.
