Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Alpha, New Jersey

Food was good. Our server was amazing and attentive. We had a great table in the corner and we had a great view. We have been to Zest several times and have never been disappointed.

Our waitress, Kathy, was fantastic…so was the server who helped with the rest of our table service! We ordered the 6oz filet and the sea bass. Both were incredibly delicious! We were celebrating a birthday and they gifted us with a special dessert. We couldn’t have had a better celebration!

Urbano is consistently good, I’m a frequent flyer there because it’s typically the whole package for me. The menu changes pretty frequently, which is nice. I am kind of boring though and usually get a rice bowl with short ribs. That wasn’t on the menu this time and I asked if I could get it and our server said I could. When they brought the rice bowl out, it was just three large chunks of short rib meat on top of the bowl instead of being shredded like it usually is. A small thing but definitely different from the usual presentation. My friend got the chicken in a rice bowl and when it came out, the chicken was chunked and looked much like my dogs’ canned food. It was really good, don’t get me wrong but again the presentation was questionable. We were in at around 4 for an early dinner so it’s entirely possible that the kitchen was gearing up for the actual dinner rush and maybe that was the reason why things were the way they were. It’s not going to stop me from going back — urbano is definitely one of my go to places downtown — this experience was just a little bit different from the usual for me.

Had a wonderful get together after Christmas shopping in the historic section of Bethlehem. We were able to relax and enjoy drinks and food. They have a distillery where they sell the spirits that come from Martha Washington recipes and favorites. The cherry and blueberry bombs were a must buy!

Everything was great. The only issue is they have a credit card limit of one per table which we learned when the check came. This should be clarified when reservations are made.
