★★★★★ Outstanding Dining Experience
I had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfectly set the tone for a great meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right without ever feeling intrusive.
The food was the real star. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You can tell the ingredients were fresh and the meals were prepared with care and attention to detail. Each bite was better than the last, and the portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming.
What really stood out was the balance of flavors and the creativity in the menu. It’s clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or celebrating something special, this place delivers.
I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service! ️✨

We went to dinner at Jessica’s with our friends. We were seated in the best seats by the window far away from the rest room. This restaurant is rated really high because of the food. All dishes we ate were delicious and none of them disappointed. This is a BYOB restaurant but they do have a small selection of NJ wines if you forget to bring your bottle. We had a beet salad, meatballs and the Spanish grilled octopus. All of them were delicious.
For our mains, we had Chilean sea bass special which was excellent, the red snapper – delicious and our vegetarian friend had a custom penne vodka with veggies which she said was extremely tasty. We decided to take out 2 of those penne vodka as it was that good.
My only complaint was that they kept coming to take the plates away even before we were done enjoying the food. Sometimes this is annoying as they seem to be wanting you to be done and gone when we are there to enjoy the food slowly. Other than that everything was perfect.

Can’t believe I’ve never written a Jessica’s review. It’s one of NJ best restaurants no doubt. It came from humble beginning in Plainfield and moved to Fanwood in 2024. The new location is beautiful and is definitely a more formal but not stuffy environment.
The food is the standout. The octopus is always so tender and a favorite of ours. All the pastas are wonderful. Tonight I had the seafood fettuccine. My wife had scallops and they were super fresh and sweet.
We didn’t get dessert tonight but the bread pudding is always amazing.
Thanks to chef Armen!

It’s for a reason Jessica’s is considered among the top restaurants in Jersey. The ambiance, food, service are all top notch!! The garden salad was the freshest. The fried burrata outstanding. And the mushroom soup so homely. The ravioli was the best of the entrees and the creme brulee to finish off a sumptuous dinner was the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. 5/5 in everything.

Their food is always good. Have been going since it was a Cafe. The service is always on point and they are very knowledgable on the menu. The menu changes seasonally, and there are always different specials. I’d recommend anything on the menu that you’re in the mood for. I really like the muscles, seafood pastas, creme brulee, steak, lamb chops, basically everything I’ve tried from here.

This is an absolutely amazing restaurant. Chef Armen is a true artist—his cuisine is incredibly creative and absolutely delicious. The team is attentive, welcoming, and makes the entire experience exceptional. Everything was perfect, far beyond our expectations.

Octopus was excellent. Mussels with fettuccine very good, but many of my mussels were empty. My husband felt the soft shell crab was mediocre. I appreciated that they substituted feta for goat cheese on my beet salad at my request, which was also delicious. Will return.

My husband and I have been here twice and it’s quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in the area, if not our number one favorite. The food is spectacular- if you love seafood this is really one of the most authentic and high quality seafood restaurants in particular. The service is also 10/10, the staff is really attentive and friendly. The mussels are a must! It’s byob but they also have a small wine selection available there. Perfect for a romantic date night or a special occasion.

Absolutely fabulous dinner Saturday night at their new (to us) location in Fanwood. We had so many good dishes, appetizers & mains, and desert. Even the bottle of Albariño from the Jersey Old York Cellars was good. We’lll definitely be back!

I have dined at Jessica’s 2 times. 1st time when location was Terrill Road, 2nd time at new location Fanwood. Both visits, food and service 5 . If you enjoy ambiance, excelllent service and cuisine…no need to go to NYC, Westfield or Summit. This THE PLACE to enjoy delectable delights with waitstaff who are attentive and a chef who greets you during the service to ensure everything is going to plan. It is certainly worthwhile. In fact, I recently dined at Roots in Summit. Jessica’s outshine Roots…not even on the same playing field of gastronomic.
