I have been to THE ABOVE, once for dinner. Not impressed AT ALL, personally. I do not feel the food is WORTH the value for the money, at any budget. I ordered several appetizers of interest, instead of an entree. !I'm sorry, but just not impressed. Their menu has changed since, and perhaps the chef too, i don't know. They... More

Just a good place to get away to if you are in the Essex county area. More

The food isn't that great but the lychee martinis r excellent. On 3 separate occassions the wait service was not very warm & or welcoming. I would only return 4 drinks. More

We had a horrible experience all the way around. Even though we had a reservation, we waited well past 30 minutes after it to be seated. It was evident that there was a lack of communication between the waitstaff, the kitchen and the customer. No one seemed to be in charge, and we had more than one waiter dealing with... More

My husband and I gave this restaurant several chances. It becomes evident quite quickly that there is a lack of organization and communication between the waiters, the kitchen and the customer. Our food, when it finally arrived was cold and the waiter left so quickly, he didn't hear our request for some silverware! I had a lobster ravioli special and... More
