Spot Diner

New Jersey has too many diners, but this isn't a traditional one.

The food isn't greasy, but it takes a while for the food to come out (I assume that means everything is more fresh as opposed to not fresh). My friend and I had an early dinner, but we ended up at Maple Leaf later at night out of boredom mostly.

I ordered the Penne Vodka (veggies instead of chicken) and a side of bread (which I was charged for). Nevertheless, our order came out hot, fresh, and there was no sign of meat contamination in my food.

My friend got the Veal Marsala (yes, I told him how Veal is baddd)... but he enjoyed it nevertheless. We ate everything, no leftovers to package. I'd go again. The Penne Vodka doesn't come vegetarian on the menu, but if you ask for peppers or onions to be mixed in... there wasn't an additonal charge which I was pretty happy about.

Plus: the waitress was super friendly and even apologized for the lack of vegetarian options.... and helped me order someone that I'd be able to eat. I wish i got her name (she was working this evening around 7).

Overall, even though I wish they had more healthy vegetarian options (the menu reads kinda like a bar food menu especially with the onion rings and waffle fries) the service and was excellent and very accommodating. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Jersey.
