Geang's Restaurant

Inviting, little restaurant with really amazing food. The mussels appetizer was the best I've had. The Godiva Chicken was an unbelievable treat! The sauce wasn't too sweet, but the perfect balance. The chicken was crispy and the vegetables and mashed potatoes complimented it perfectly. I live in South Jersey, an hour away, but will be driving to return to this restaurant!

My friend took me here for my first visit this was her third and this was her last. Each experience gets worse. It’s always a 2 hour ordeal. We had a 7:30 reservation and arrived right on time but at the same time as another couple who the owner knew. We were seated first but were given a very small 2 top with no umbrella the other couple received the nicer table outside with the umbrella. Their order was taken first. We opened our own wine as it took quite a while before we were acknowledged by the waitress. Finally we ordered our appetizer which was long hot peppers and we asked for water. Peppers were served without any bread and our water never came. The wait staff appeared to be overwhelmed while the owner sat and chatted with customers all night at different tables rather then helping when needed or checking on other tables. The inside is messy with tables not set or ready for customers. A poor first impression when you walk in. Decor could use some attention to detail to match the prices on the menu particularly in a town that is wealthy and discerning. Each time there is a new staff of servers. Not a good sign. The food is very good and from what we hear probably what allows people to overlook the poor service and ambiance. The fact that there are so many bad reviews and nothing changes says the owners not concerned improving his business or the customers experience. There are too many good restaurants in the area to waste your time here.

From the moment we walked in the restaurant we were greeted by an extremely rude older woman waitress with long curly brown hair. She looked us up and down and called us “kids”, while we’re all in our late 20’s. We were given paper napkins rather than the cloth napkins every other table received. When asked why they claimed they were running low, meanwhile they were laying on empty tables and tables that came in after us received them. While the other waitress was nice, this woman gave us looks throughout our entire meal. We have never felt more disrespected in an establishment. I do not recommend coming here if you want to be treated fairly and are under the age of 85.

Just got take out from Arugula and the food was great. I had the Lamb Osso Bucca and my wife had the Chicken Piccata. The lamb was just right, fork tender and the potatoes and veggies were good as well, all smothered in a wonderful gravy. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her dish as well. The only reason I didn't go for the fifth star is we couldn't get a reservation, so had to go with take out. The price was very reasonable too. I highly recommend Arugula Spring Lake.
