We were able to get a table with just a few minutes notice on a Tuesday evening, but if you're heading in for dinner, a reservation is recommended. They have a full service bar that was packed, and the bartender seems to have a big personality. Our server did a great job. No long wait time for any part of our meal. We got in early enough that the restaurant wasn't noisy and packed, although it got busier as the evening wore on. There is outdoor seating in the enclosed patio with space heaters if the weather's not too cold. Food was absolutely on point. Salads were crisp, crab cakes came out with a nice, crusty exterior, and my husband wolfed down the gnocchi, so I can imagine it was delicious. Portions are large enough for two (or leftovers for lunch), so we didn't order anything off the dessert menu, but I'm pretty sure I heard tiramisu and creme brulee from the next table over. Incentive to head back another time!

The service and the food were great along with the atmosphere our server AJ walked us through the menu, He bought out a dessert tray. Which is something I miss after moving to the South Jersey area after years of having restaurants in North Jersey and New York area that I frequent always had a dessert tray which you can view your desserts. It's very nice. He made us feel comfortable and welcome. I look forward to having many more dinner and or lunches at Filomena Lakeview.

It's been awhile but Filomena's doesn't disappoint. It's unapologetically old school and it shows in the stellar service, generous portions and the classic Italian/seafood menu. The antipasto alone is gut busting. Enjoy the relaxed vibe with no need to shout over the ambient noise. One of these days we'll even catch a glimpse of the lake. Maybe next time. A competent and casual five stars.

Wow, what a great spot. Can't believe we found it. The drinks and food are fantastic. The bartender (Tylor) was great and made great suggestions. First time here, but will not be the last. Coming here for my birthday with friends and can't wait to share this wonderful gem.

Stopped in earlier this week with my hubby for happy hour. We sat at the bar and ordered pizza, cheesesteak egg rolls, a beer, 2 glasses of Chianti wine & a martini. Bartenders were attentive, food came out hot, and generous wine pours. The bar area was nice and fairly crowded for mid-day but we did go over the holiday break. While we didn't sit in the restaurant section, it looked very pretty with all of their Christmas lights. Bill came to $60 with tip. We'd recommend.

Went there for a light lunch with my wife around 1 p.m. It was a Friday, December 1st, and the parking lot was surprisingly full. The hostess let us know the only searing that was available was in the bar area because they had 3 separate events going on, which explains the parking lot being full. Taking a table in the bar area was fine with us because we didn't feel we were dressed properly to sit in the dining room. From what I observed, they had 2 waitresses covering the tables around the bar, and the bartender was taking care of customers sitting at the bar. Before I get to the food, I have to say how pleasant and efficient our waitress was. She had a large workload, but she didn't reflect in her demeanor towards any of her customers that she was under stress or angry about her situation. On the contrary, she was overly attentive to us, and from what I saw to all her customers. We sat close to the bar, and I also noticed how joyfully the bartender went about serving the large number of people sitting at the bar. He took food orders and made drinks with a smile on his face, and he joked happily with customers. I ordered the Crab Bisque. It was tasty and enjoyable it could have used more lumped crab, in my opinion. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I also had a Ceasar Salad with grilled shrimp. The lettuce was crisp, and the dressing was plentiful. It definitely needed more freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. The grilled shrimp were perfectly grilled, and they were a nice size, but I only got 3 (you pay extra to add shrimp). The salad was a decent portion, and I think if you order grilled shrimp, 6 would be the proper amount to complement the size of the salad. Of course, it would cost more for 6 shrimp, but it would be worth it. I give the Ceasar Salad 3 stars only because of the amount of shrimp and the lack of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. My wife ate the peppers and onions with fresh bread, which was excellent, and she also ordered French onion soup. She looked at the soup and immediately showed me that the broth was very light, which indicated that it may be lacking flavor. Upon tasting it, she was disappointed because, as she had suspected, it lacked flavor. She isn't one to normally send something back, but she returned the French Onion soup and ordered cheesesteak egg rolls. She gave the French Onion 0 stars (obviously) She enjoyed the cheesesteak egg rolls. She said they tasted like they were homemade. They come with ketchup for dipping she did say it would be nice if they had more than just ketchup for dipping. She gave the cheesesteak egg rolls 4 out of 5 stars. I had an Irish coffee. Coffee, Baileys Irish Cream, with a shot of Jamison. It was very good and a nice warm-up on a rainy afternoon. 5 stars.
