Martini Grill - Wood-Ridge

We were excited to go out on Saturday with the additional loosening of Covid restrictions, now allowing for 50% capacity. Despite only two tables being taken out of the 20 or so the restaurant has, the one-person host/server/busboy team tried to seat us next to a table that was engaging in friendly conversation with the live entertainment. I requested to sit at a far wall for social distancing. Due to the one-person team, we waited about 15 minutes to be asked for drinks, and it was frustrating to see another table that arrived later than us receive their drinks before us. The wine spritzer I ordered came in a regular chardonnay glass. The food was delicious, but as more guests arrived, they were placed in our section of the restaurant without adhering to distancing rules. By the time we left, 55% of the tables were occupied and it seemed like they would keep accepting more guests without any regard for proper spacing. While I understand that businesses are struggling, especially in our conservative state that has been managing Covid well compared to places like Texas and Florida, where cases have been rising, it is important to proceed cautiously to prevent future lockdowns or restrictions.

Finally reopen best Italian cuisine in Town What a fantastic place! Great food! Had a lobster Ravioli and seafood Risotto . Delicious! We can...

The worst! And not for food. The food was really okay. The general aesthetic was also beautiful and so was the variety on the menu. The problem was...

This was our first post Covid visit and it will be last. New property??? No help, long wait for lousy foo.d. Surly owners, as said eating is bad...

Very disappointed about this place. The place was completely full, they only had two servers that could barely keep up with all the clients. Our appetizers and bread was cold. Our meals were poorly cooked as well. We barely got one drink because the bartender was also one of the servers. The only thing that save the night is that they had live music and the band was trying to keep a good mood for everyone on the place. We consider leaving first, but we decided to give it a chance and it was just disappointing. Unfortunately I would not be back.
