Mogano — Restaurant in New Providence

We came here for Christmas dinner and we didn't know what to expect. The reviews looked promising but you never know. Needless to say, our expectations were blown out of the water.

We arrived for a 5:30pm dinner reservation and were greeted by the staff who where very friendly and were seated promptly. Definitely recommend an earlier reservation.

Alicia was fan-tastic. She was very knowledgeable about the menu options, and recommended some delicious options. The entire staff was very accommodating and friendly.

The food... wow. You can tell they take pride in what they do as they work wonders with the dishes. We had the linguine all’aragosta, branzino in crosta, and the spaghetti vongole. Each one had its own unique flavor experience and highly recommended. For appetizer, we had scamorza, and that was very good. They brought out several flavors of fresh bread with oil. Just wow 👌 we needed to pay compliments to the entire cooking staff, and especially the had chef who you could tell was very passionate with her work.

We had a 5:30 reservation which was right when they opened, so the food service was reasonably quick for what they were preparing. The atmosphere was nice. Everything was clean, tidy. We received new cutlery and plates with each course. The table was wiped clean in-between courses.

Overall, this is the place to go if you're looking for an amazing experience all around. Thank you for a great experience and couldn't have...

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The vibe is clubhouse casual. The bar at the entrance is well stocked and has an almost horseshoe quality to it, lending itself well to casual drinks or dinner while taking in a champions league match or some of the NCAA tournament.

The food is tres bien! We had the beef carpaccio, pork belly, skirt steak and 14 ounce steak. All cooked to perfection. The pickings were a little slim for the vegan members of our party, but chef was eventually able to come up with something to cater to their needs.

It only falls short of 5 stars (so read this review as a 4.5) because the wine and champagne pickings were a bit slim. I've frequently found most beverage selection in the island's overpriced, especially when compared to Europe and the United States, but the price gouging was a little higher here. Just because you can do something doesn't always mean you should.

But all in all it was a wonderful experience and I'll definitely add it to...

Had a local favorite feeling about it. Many tables outside with a somewhat exclusive feeling to it.

Food was excellent. We had a group and kids with us, so we we're able to try a number of different dishes. The restaurant was even willing to make a customized dish for one particularly picky eater. We did skip on the meat de jour as it was 65 bucks at a place bit specializing in steak, but the chicken, spaghetti, salmon, soup, pizza, alfredo we're all delicious.

Service was pretty good. Faster than most of what we've experienced here on island time. I felt myself questioning if the waiter heard me or had forgotten my request for another drink, which did eventually come.

If I had one complaint it would be the stray cats they have running around begging for food and jumping up to empty chairs. We chased off one kitten while a couple of adult cats leered at us through the shadows. No big...
