Everything was absolutely perfect. The drinks were delicious and perfectly made . Our governor server for dinner was incredibly professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We started with appetizers. I had the blue point oysters that were fresh and absolutely delicious. My partner had the beet salad with orange sections and again it was delicious. We shared a pasta dish with broccoli rabbi and sausage.,  again it was outstanding. We also shared the pork Oso, Bucco ; delicious!! The food, service and ambience are all so perfect!

This restaurant is a great place. The food is delicious and the deserts selection is fabulous. I arrived thinking I getting a steak but our host convinced me to order the seafood medley which was perfect. Our host Dagmar was excellent and made our wedding anniversary night memorable. The price was very reasonable. Don't know what else to say other than it's an outstandings establishment.

We had a fantastic experience at Elizabeth's in Old Bridge, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waiter, Tom. From the moment we sat down, he was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. He timed everything perfectly and made sure our table was well taken care of from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the whipped ricotta and a crisp caesar salad, both of which were perfect beginnings to the meal. For our main courses, the chicken parm and chicken Milanese were phenomenal—fresh, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. We finished the night with the tiramisu, which was the ultimate sweet ending. The combination of top-tier food and Tom's outstanding hospitality made for an unforgettable dinner. We will definitely be back, and we’ll definitely be asking to sit in Tom's section! Highly recommend.

Another great dinner at Catherine Lombardi's. The service was excellent; the food and drinks were delicious. We had tickets for a show, and without feeling rushed, we could dine, have coffee, and still be early for the show. They even held onto my leftovers in the fridge for me to pick up after the show! One of our top restaurant choices!

    This is my go to restaurant anytime I want to impress new friends or family members that have never been there. I brought my friend and her husband there for the first time to celebrate her birthday and she said that will DEFINITELY be going back! They were extremely impressed! Everything from the appetizers to the main course to the dessert was amazing! We ordered a ton of seafood dishes, including the seafood tower, extra oysters, a dozen and a half extra clams, the fried Calamari in a delicious mango sauce was superb. The baby lamb chops over greens and cannellini beans is my go to entree!! Melissa was our waitress and she was beyond outstanding!! Extremely friendly, knowledgeable & helpful!
