Went to dinner last Saturday night after a long absence of not dining here and couldn’t understand why! Quaint BYOB family owned restaurant, with an excellent menu and numerous specials. The duck dish is exceptional and there was a Grouper Special that was excellent! Owners and servers were outgoing and friendly! The bread dish with olive oil and olives was a nice touch. This gem of a restaurant is back in my rotation! Priced fair for value!

This place feels like a home! John and Kendall and the rest of the team make this such a welcoming and enjoyable place to dine that you forget that you are in a public restaurant and not in your family’s dining room. The place is small yet cozy and comfortable. The food was delicious. They go above and beyond to ensure you are a satisfied customer. Great parking directly across the street.

Attended a communion celebration at this little restaurant tucked away on Bay Avenue in scenic Highlands. Was a lovely day, we were greeted by our waitress Vendal who helped us with decorating and getting everything set up. She took care of our every need through out the afternoon, making sure we had plenty of everything. She kept the buffet flowing and refreshed.

Fresh food. Vegetables pluck right from the chef’s garden. Seafood caught that morning. Creative, classic Italian dishes. Super attentive staff. A memorable dining experience.

Wonderful place. All the food was fresh and delicious. Had the Arancini and Spicy Seafood Mafaldine, both were superb. Would highly recommend.

GEM IN HIGHLANDS! I absolutely LOVE Porcini! I found this restaurant a little over two years ago, and I been dining here every week ever since! This restaurant isn’t around the corner from me either! It’s around a 40 minute drive from my house, but the food is OUTSTANDING! I look forward to going week after week! Chef Chris who is the owner of this restaurant received an award for top rising chef in NJ! He makes everything from scratch from pastas, gelato, and house made desserts. All the food here is EXCELLENT! If I were to pick my favorite dishes I’d say my top picks are the veal over polenta, the crab cakes, filet mignon in a bernaise sauce, the herb encrusted cod in lemon garlic butter sauce, the New Zealand rack of lamb, the bronze encrusted swordfish over orzo, and the scallops! Ok I know I named a lot, but they are all just so good! You can’t leave here without ordering the cheesecake of the day either! It’s AMAZING! Some of my favorites are the s’mores cheesecake, peanut butter cheesecake, and the white chocolate caramel cheesecake! My favorite gelato flavors here are the cookies and cream and the Heath Bar crunch! He also makes the best chocolate cake I ever had anywhere! He sometimes has it as a special, and if he does order it! I love the chocolate cake topped with chocolate ganache stuffed with peanut butter mousse! I still wish he would add a chocolate cake of the day to the dessert menu! The service here is excellent, and they are very accommodating! As long as he has the ingredients on hand he can make it for you! Portions here are generous as well. Chef Chris wants all his customers to leave happy! I’ve dined everywhere, and Porcini is simply the best! I highly Recommend dining at my TOP PICK restaurant Porcini!

What a great little place we just found. We’ve gone twice in the last 3 weeks and had 2 great experiences. The servers (John and Al) were great. The chef/owner (Chris) came over at the end of our meal to see how everything was. The salads, appetizers and entrees were excellent. BYO also. Definitely on our “go-to” list.

On a lovely night, we thoroughly enjoyed our exquisite meal and friendly service in the outdoors to comply with our existing COVID restrictions. I know it wasn’t easy, but Porcini didn’t miss a beat.

If you want amazing food in a relaxing atmosphere with excellent service …this is the place. We arrived after a late afternoon at Sandy Hook. We were their last diners and they treated us as we were their first. No rush…just easy. We shared a zucchini blossom appetizer and a half order of the mushroom pasta. Husband had the swordfish and I had the scallops. Seriously perfectly cooked and presented. Too full for dessert but even though they were closing they happily asked us if we were interested. Can’t wait to return!
