Angelo's - Lyndhurst

This is a strange review to write the first like it I’ve done. We were staying in a Lyndhurst hotel and found this restaurant nearby with good reviews and decided to pop in on a Sunday night. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. I fell in love as soon as I walked in. However, I didn’t find the place to be overly welcoming. The front house staff asked us if we had a reservation (didn’t even occur to me late on a Sunday) and kind of rudely waved around and told us it would be a “45 minute wait, maybe even a lot longer.” Mind you, no one else was waiting. But we went to the bar. Cocktails were delicious, sat next to a rude guy giving me dirty looks, but whatever. About 20 minutes later, after a few expensive drinks, we were very warmly told there was a table for us. The food was divine. I had the eggplant parm and husband had spaghetti and meatballs, with Chianti for both. We had wonderful conversation with the table next to us (tables are kind of close to one another) and the server was great. It was a great meal. Later, without any prior discussion, my husband and I both shared that we got some pretty racist vibes in the place. My husband is white and I'm African American and I don't think that's something we've both picked up on so clearly in the past and its definitely not anything I've ever written in a review before. But it was pretty clear to both of us.
