We've had romantic dinners for two, meals with another couple, and family celebrations at Verjus, and no matter the size of the party or the occasion, Verjus is a winner. While many of us in NJ are spoiled by the ability to BYO to many, many restaurants--and sometimes loath having to pay restaurant prices for a bottle--Verjus has a very nice, fairly priced, interesting wine list. The food is always excellent (if not overwhelmingly creative), and the owners and wait staff could not be nicer. I actually prefer Verjus to the overhyped nearby Lorena's.

  • My wife and I were wowed by the quality and presentation of the food. We had prix-fixe brunch, and it was absolutely delicious for an amazing price of $25 per person. It's frankly an amazing value for what you get. Food is on par with very good traditional French spots in bigger cities. Service was leisurely but attentive and the wife-owner is clearly very caring and ensures that you have a good experience. Will definitely be back for more.

  • Consistently good and inexpensive for the quality and quantity of food. Inexpensive quality wine list. Unpretentious owners.

  • Well worth exploring--this well run gem is superior to the over-priced local Lorena's, with delicious cuisine and an attentive staff. Perhaps some diners need to be fawned over, but if you're secure enough, this is the spot for you. Don't overlook the luscious brunch.

  • Service was very slow and unprofessional; youngsters still needing to learn; no direction. Most of food was very good and tasty yet some was flat.

  • Nice room, good appetizers, main courses can't compare with appetizers and dessert. Servers were all young ( less than 23) and disjointed. Need some help running the front.
