Reviews for Semolina Restaurant in Red Bank, NJ
The food was very good. The service was good. We were told we had to leave after one hour and 30 minutes. Really, our bill was... over $350.00 for 4. We couldn't finish our enjoyable meal on a Friday night. I understand that you are in business to makemoney but more time is what customers would appreciate. We enjoyed our dinner but will not be going back due to the "bums rush".Eat your meal and get out! Very sad. Read more
Went here last month. It met all my expectations. You can taste and see the quality?I love farm to table restaurants! The food... and service were both exceptional. Just be aware of the strict 2 hr limit for your reservation. Order everything at once. Youwon?t be disappointed. Read more
Great pasta - menu changes monthly. The bread is piping hot when it comes out, but incredibly hard. Staff are courteous and... quick to service. Overall, if you want great pasta, hard and hot bread, and a unique menu that consistently changes, this is agreat local spot. We come back quarterly. Read more
Nice experience here on a Sunday night. Salads and pastas were good and the service was A+. Wish they had some additional... vegetarian options. Dessert was fantastic - forgot what it was called but was kind of a berry/granola/yogurt type of parfait.They have this "farm to table concept" but it didn't seem to have any noticeable difference in the food quality, at least to me.Also, the tuna did not taste fresh or high quality enough for a tartare.

I liked Semolina, but didn't love it. Pros: The service was great and friendly. The food was served quickly (we had a 5 p.m.... reservation and made it out at 5:45 p.m).Their namesake bread was delicious. Everything was made with premium ingredients andwas obviously made fresh and to order. The ambiance was great as well. Cons: Everything was a bit pricey. For being solelyItalian with a small menu, the perfection I look for (and would pay for) wasn't there. The gnocchi was overdone. The Carbonarawas super heavy with an added cream sauce. The Panna Cotta was loose, and the goat's milk choice made it taste much more like ayogurt. Overall, if youre going, I recommend checking out the menu online first since the selection isn't huge. Also, make sureyou BYOB. We might go back when or if the menu changes up a bit to have another meal. Read more
Amazing restaurant, the food is amazing,very tasty, the presentation of the food are beautiful and the restaurant itself is... beautiful, The only think I didn't like was the dessert menu, it needs improvement and please, remove completely the Lemon poundcake from the dessert menu and add something with Chocolate because there was nothing with chocolate. Other than that,everything else was amazing, our server Perit was amazing, she was super friendly, attentive and funny. We are definitely comingback and definitely recommend Semolina. Read more
The food is amazing here! 3 of us had the pork chop and let me tell you I'm craving it today!! We'll definitely be going back
The food here is amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious. It's a small, cozy dining room, and was packed on a Friday night.... The noise level was high, but that maybe had more to do with the table next to us. Our server was great, and unlike otherreviewers we didn't feel rushed at all. The burrata app was so creative (spaghetti squash, seed medley, and thyme dressing) anddelicious! It was a nice departure from the typical tomato basil presentation. The server mentioned that the pork chop was asignature dish, so I ordered that. It did not disappoint! The bacon jam was surprisingly delicate, the pork was well seasonedand cooked perfectly, and the sweet potato puree was a perfect accompaniment. My friend ordered the chicken and loved her mealas well. We were full, so we decided to skip dessert, but we will most certainly be back! Read more
