Ewing Township, NJ • Review by Linda Goldman • May 2026

 

 

We recently enjoyed an exceptional meal at Erini Restaurant, located in Ewing, NJ. The establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, as well as a lively Tiki Bar. Erini features a Mediterranean-inspired menu, but the selection is extensive, including a variety of salads, sandwiches, steaks, and seafood. While the atmosphere was energetic and filled with lively conversation, the quality of the food was outstanding.

 

 

One standout aspect of Erini is their special event every third weekend of the month (Friday through Sunday), where they serve a two-pound lobster for $49.50. Reservations are required and guests must pre-order the lobster. The presentation was impressive—the lobster arrived dramatically, overflowing the plate. The anticipation was high, and the taste did not disappoint. The lobster was perfectly cooked and, without exaggeration, was the best I have had in a long time.

 

The beverage selection complemented the meal beautifully. I ordered a white sangria, which was both refreshing and delicious, and the rest of our party enjoyed their drinks as well. Our group of four unanimously agreed that we would return to Erini.

 

For dessert, two in our party chose the homemade rice pudding and crème brûlée, both of which were exceptional and memorable. The owner personally visited our table, adding a warm, personal touch to our evening.

 

Although Erini may seem a bit out of the way, the drive from RAUD took only about 35 minutes, making it well worth the trip. Without hesitation, I would recommend Erini Restaurant to anyone seeking a wonderful dining experience. The owner’s personal touch, exceptional food, and vibrant atmosphere make it a truly memorable evening out.

 

 

 

 

Philadelphia • Review by Cecilia Harbison • April 2026

 

 

Let me be up front with you: I have now willingly hurled myself 60 floors into the sky 3 times, twice on Easter Sunday. Either the food is extraordinary, or the holiday spirit is doing something dangerous to my survival instincts. After careful reflection, I’m going with both.

 

 

The journey begins with the elevator — a glass walled human bank tube (Only our age group will get this) that rockets you skyward while offering a panoramic view of every reason you should be terrified. My sister and I, united in our quiet dignity, solve this problem the only way reasonable adults could: we both turn toward the elevator solid doors and face them the entire trip with our eyes closed, while my sister-in-law and friends laugh and take pictures. This is not Easterly!

 

We arrived poised and graceful, mostly, into a beautiful lobby.

 

We arrived in daylight and lingered long enough to watch the whole thing transform into a beautiful Philly skyline. We took many pictures as always and shared them with family around the country. (Our pictures won).

 

The menu is small – refreshingly, confidently, stubbornly small, as if the kitchen looked out at the crew and decided it had nothing to prove. Every dish arrived right on time perfectly presented and tasting exactly like you thought it would. The service matches the surroundings, which is the only appropriate demeanor when your entire dining room is a glass box in the clouds. The drinks: both alcoholic and mocktail were delicious. Desserts, do I need to say more? There is something for everyone.

 

 

There is a bar but even that is always full. Plan in advance, you won’t be disappointed!
