    Absolutely fantastic time, food was excellent, cocktails were superb, and the vibe was on point. Spot was expensive but well worth it, portions were generous so much so that I didn't get to indulge in dessert which looked phenomenal. Would absolutely go back in a heartbeat for the ambiance and food alone!

    Our waiter was attentive and informative about the food and had good recommendations. The food was good. The short rib was tasty. Burgers were good, and the rigatoni had a nice flavor. The bread pudding was big but very good. The place is nostalgic.

    Overall rating: 4.7 My oh my, my friends wanted to try this place being in New Jersey. Through some research I realized it was a very popular place, especially their bread pudding for lunch. I came around 12 so I didn’t really want breakfast food by the time I was ready to eat. I ordered the mussels and while they were good, I was expecting the sauce to be delicious. The green sauce was a lot thinner & tasted very healthy. Not sure why I thought it would taste more like the typical sauce. It was just okay. I also ordered the infamous bread pudding with my friends who agreed reluctantly and wow 3 people was too little. You need at least 4 people to eat that! I took a good amount to go & it filled my dessert for the whole week! It was a really nice setting but the waitress was so friendly! She was selling every piece and wasn’t pushing either. We went around 1 so I think the brunch rush was coming to an end. Everyone was so friendly and I’d definitely go again if I’m in the area. Recommend trying something else that I didn’t order.

    “Local neighborhood spot with elevated cuisine and service” would be the perfect short blurb for this restaurant. It’s both a special occasion spot and a regular everyday spot at the exact same time. Great entrees and apps and drinks for a lunch a brunch or a dinner. It can be tough to snag a table but the wait or repeated effort is worth it. The pastas the proteins and the veg are all equally worth ordering. The inventive spins on classics like elote and lasagna are delicious and crave worthy demanding a conversation about their deliciousness and an immediate desire to make the next reservation so that you can enjoy them again. The desserts are equally good and the warm skillet cookie is every bit as good as the bread pudding which already has legions of fans. Easily recommend over and over again.

    This is so good. I saw quite a hype of this place on a tiktok and waited a while to go but I genuinely believe Antique lives up to the hype ESPECIALLY with the bread pudding. I think it was the best dessert I’ve ever had. it’s massive and the 4 of us couldn’t even finish it which i’ve never had an issue with before. Really worth checking out! Great cozy vibe and good staff.

    One of the best restaurants I’ve been too recently. Excellent service! Sage was the one taking care of us and she was excellent. My girlfriend and I ordered the kale salad, and plantain croquettes and they were amazing! So delicious. The salad is my girl’s favorite. I got the burger and it is definitely a top tier burger. She got the seafood linguini and it was delicious. Very flavorful! Top tier Mac and cheese on the side. Probably top 5 I’ve ever had. We finished with the bread pudding it was the best bread pudding I’ve ever had! You must order it when there. It is perfection. 10/10 experience.
