According to https://njmonthly.com/ New Jersey dining is striking in its range of cuisines and price points, high quality of food, and the lack of pomposity in service—snootiness is not our thing here in New Jersey.

The vibes run from swanky (Ocean Steak in Atlantic City) to homey (James on Main in Hackettstown, where everything is cooked over locally harvested wood). The cuisines include Indian, Japanese, American and, of course, Italian—the most popular type of restaurant in New Jersey.
