Xperience Kitchen & Cocktails — Restaurant in Woodbridge Township

The food left a little to desired they need to add more to their menu. I celebrated my 40th bday dinner here. The salmon was good, skirt steaked good but too much salt. The fried rice with egg. The egg is supposed to fried soft with yolk the egg was over fried no yolk and again to much salt. The stuffed lobster was a 5/10 crabmeat and breading was good but there was a pinch of lobster meat I had to literally crack completely open to get any lobster meat. My stuffed lobster was served on a spoon full of mashed potatoes which was not stated on menu and a very werid blending of taste-and I love seafood. The drinks were okay but not worth the high price tag. My friends lobster was just thrown on a plate with no sort of presence or care. The curry salmon was very tasty but again too salty a a lil too much salt used. When they brought out a red velvet cake and sang happy birthday it was a very nice experience but the cake was very dry only thing that saved it was the icing was very good. That had a great DJ so the music was very nice. I loved the saxophone player that played sax to the DJ which was very nice. They also had a burlesque dancer that worked the restaurant dancing very elegant her outfit and vibe were great. Last but not least was the min. To spend per person at each table no matter the amount of people was $100.00. Each person had to spend individually. I have been to a lot of high class restaurants and this food was NOT worth the price tag. You really are paying for the experience of the sax player dancer and over all atmosphere. For 5 people our bill was $730 but what we received was not worth it. Our appetizers we had scallops which were good but needed to seared more a lil under cooked but good flavor or 2nd appetizer was crab cakes which was tasty but too breaded and I have had crab cakes from alot of restaurants. But these crab cakes had too much breading and the breading was falling off the crab cake to the point it was dried sprinkled on plate I think if they cut the breading in half it would have been better because it had a good flavor. Last was the lobster mac and cheese which was 28 dollars for the smallest bowl. Imitation lobster meat was used which left it with a VERY fishy smell and taste. It also was not chopped well into the Mac and cheese the noodles were way to big for and type of mac and cheese. 3 of us that ordered it returned it and ordered something else which unfortunately was the salty hard fried rice. To spend that much none if took leftovers home. They did make a cool drink that comes out in a martini glass and u can write a message In the drink which mines was happy birthday of course it was supposed to have gin in it but it tasted more like the shamrock steak from McDonald's. If you do go stick to the appetizers if you order the scallops tell them to make sure they are seared well and if you order the crab cake ask for less breading. Only thing missing was a lil dance floor the space is not large so they made what could of been one into a VIP section. Which we were going to book at 1st but that is 135 pp. U get a small section of a bottle of alcohol you can choose from. And they give u 2 appetizers to share and your main course but you have to choose from the foods they list in the package which I think is ridiculous if im in VIP I should get to choose myself as to what I wanted to eat. As certain sides with the meals u get 1 or 2 sides. Also certain sides like the very intasteful lobster mac and cheese instead of paying full price u do pay a $15 up charge which is werid to me based on the amount of money you spend. I had an over all great time because of the friends I was with the sax and dancer but I think they need to expand their menu. Oh how could I forgot after we finished our appetizers they took our plated and metal utensils. But when our food came out we had to request new utensils. 3 out of the 5 of us received real silverware but they gave the other two in our party plastic utensils wrapped in plastic with a napkin something you get attached take out...

Restaurant Review: A Day Party Experience with Delicious Food and Great Vibes

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant for a day party experience, and I must say, it was an absolute blast! From the moment I arrived for my 1:00 pm reservation, I was impressed by the swift seating process. The staff was efficient, ensuring that I was promptly seated and ready to enjoy my afternoon.

One of the highlights of this restaurant is the strong and tasty drinks they serve. From classic cocktails to innovative creations, the drink menu had something for everyone. Sipping on my refreshing drink, I couldn't help but feel the upbeat vibes of the day party atmosphere. The lively ambiance inside was complemented by the DJ's fantastic music selection, playing hits from the early 2000s to the present. It truly created an energetic and fun-filled atmosphere.

Despite the dim lighting, each table had little reading lamps, which was a thoughtful touch and made it convenient to read the menu and see our food. Speaking of food, the dishes were not only delicious but also presented with great attention to detail. From appetizers to main courses, everything was served quickly without compromising on quality. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, providing top-notch service throughout the meal.

What made this restaurant truly standout was the array of entertainment options. It’s a hodgepodge of entertainment. A DJ, A live saxophonist, roaring 20's themed dancer, and “fun promoter" joined the party, adding even more excitement to the experience. Dancing was welcomed, and the infectious energy of the restaurant made it hard to resist hitting the dance floor.

It is important to note that this restaurant provides a sensory overload experience for those who may be more sensitive. The loud music, flashing lights, and the increasing volume of inaudible voices as the place fills up might be overwhelming for some. However, if you enjoy a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, this is the perfect place for you to let loose and have a great time.

As for the dress code, it was day party fly. The restaurant encouraged a stylish and trendy appearance, which added to the overall appeal of the experience.

Overall, my visit to this restaurant was positive. The combination of food, strong drinks, friendly staff, and lively entertainment created an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a place to eat, dance, and have a great time, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Just ensure that the exciting atmosphere aligns with your...

A Letdown for What Should’ve Been a Special Celebration

My girlfriend had seen Xperience Kitchen on Instagram multiple times and always said she wanted to go. So for her 32nd birthday, I figured it’d be the perfect spot to celebrate with our friends—close to home, trendy, and promising good vibes without having to cross into NYC. Unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to expectations.

I made a reservation for a party of 13. Right away, it was clear they weren’t fully prepared for a group that size. I’d definitely recommend this place more for a date night or small group, not larger parties unless you plan and over-communicate every detail.

We were told the wait would be 10–15 minutes, but we ended up standing outside for over an hour. Some guests had to leave before we were even seated, which was frustrating and disappointing on a day that was supposed to be special.

Once inside, I will say the decor of the venue was very nice—stylish, well put together, and definitely photo-worthy. It gave the right vibe visually. We were placed in a semi-private area, which was appreciated, but the overall space is super tight. For the amount people pay here, you’d expect room to dance and enjoy the DJ without being shoulder-to-shoulder. The DJ was actually great, but it was hard to enjoy the music when most of our time was spent outside waiting.

As for the food: • Eggs were wet and mushy • French toast was burnt at first, better on the second round • Chicken was way too salty—and one piece I bit into was raw chicken fat, which totally killed my appetite • Bacon was over-crispy • Fruit platters were refreshing and honestly the best part of the meal

I let the server know about the raw chicken, but it didn’t seem like that was taken seriously or passed along to the kitchen. That lack of accountability really made me question how much they value quality and guest satisfaction.

We spent over $100 per person, and honestly, the service and food didn’t come close to matching that price point. We were seated around 3:45 PM and out by 5:45 PM—not because we were ready, but because the vibe made it clear we were being rushed out.

To their credit, the chef did come out and introduce himself, which I appreciated. And again—the DJ and decor were solid. But those few bright spots weren’t enough to save the overall experience.

This just wasn’t the birthday celebration I hoped for. Maybe they’ll improve with time, but for now, I’d rather pay the toll and head back to NYC, where the experience matches the energy...
