Must go! We went for Sunday brunch and everything was exquisite. Wonderful, peaceful ambiance, great service, and most importantly, incredible and truly fresh food. The Burrata crostini were full of deliciously balanced flavors and the Nutella Banana Croissant was such a treat with its fresh whipped cream. The Avocado Toast had such delicious flavors as well. The Country Omelette had a great texture and was well prepared. Lastly, the Berry French Toast was worlds better than any other French Toast with its compote and texture. Cannot recommend enough!!

Went for Sunday brunch. The exterior doesn’t show how beauty the place is on the second floor; When you walk in, it looks like a diner but if you go up it’s a nice fancy restaurant. I got the salmon and faro bowl and my friend got the burger. The salmon was too small but tasted good, the faro was honestly boring and tasted like nothing. My friend really liked his burger and said it was nicely done. I was surprised that they didn’t have any spicy sauce or flakes .

Since we sampled the passionfruit tea before and it was amazing, decided we would go back to try something with caffeine. They have a make your own menu and the iced chia milk tea latte I ordered was disappointingly weak. Barely tasted any chai. The brown sugar espresso buba tea on the other hand was amazing. It was full bodied, perfect buba and had the caffeine kick we were looking for.

The food is great and the atmosphere is super! I ordered the goat cheese salad and the grilled salmon. The flavor turned out to be better than I thought. The restaurant is a gallery itself and it was quite an enjoyable experience for me to have the lunch in Ficus.

Come upstairs to the restaurant (inside seating or outside on the terrace), you will enjoy the food and the ambiance. The food is **excellent**, the Chief makes a great job (plates show you he learnt very well the lessons from the French MasterChef Joël Robuchon!). The menu doesn’t offer a large choice, but every plate is a delight for the eyes and for the palate – you can’t be wrong. Prices are reasonable, staff is very kind and caring. A great experience. Only for dinner, hopefully they will offer breakfast and lunch soon!

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Ficus Above. The place is freshly opened and beautifully designed and the personnel is friendly and attentive. Got myself burrata as a starter and a duck breast, and both dishes exceeded my expectations. The duck is so delicate that it almost melts in your mouth, and what a nice touch was the carrot purée that came along with it – definitely worth trying! Ficus Above is certainly a local landmark when it comes to gourmet cuisine and pleasant atmosphere, and is worth a detour if you’re in NJ area.

Went here for an early lunch. I ordered the Korean BBQ sandwich. It was a surprising blend of Korean tastes with chipotle aioli. I would say maybe there was a bit too much on the sandwich. But it was sure tasty. I grabbed a simple bottle of water to wash it all down. Seating was simple inside. A few more options on the menu would be nice. Also they were a bit stingy with the napkins.

Wow the worst experience possible. I arrived at 10:30am on Thursday with a friend who I brought explicitly because of their good reviews. Even though online it says they are open, I get there and they say they won’t be open until 11. So we wait in the cold for them to start taking orders not until 11:15am. We are standing in the COLD because they say there is work being done. 15 minutes later still no drink. It’s been over an hour now since we arrived and no drink. After an hour of standing in the cold they say we can step in. The place was an absolute mess I attached photos. I felt terrible for bringing someone along with me after saying it was a good place. Over an hour later we got our drinks. They don’t make drinks in order of who got there. They were making smoothies for people that arrived AFTER us. My overall review is the drinks are not worth it. I will never go back and I cannot believe I had my friend leave work and not get paid for over an hour because of this.
