. "I hadn't been to Customshop in a couple of years and since my husband and I were over in Elizabeth we decided to give it another try. The restaurant is lovely and the service was great but unfortunately the food was not. \n\nBased on a quick glance at the yelp reviews and a few recommendations from the bartender (we sat at the bar which I actually really enjoyed) we ordered the BBQ octopus, brussel sprouts, and the ricotta gnocchi with butternut squash. I'd never had octopus before, but based on the bartender's recommendation we went for it. Neither my husband or I enjoyed it, but I will note that there is the potential that we just don't like octopus. The brussel sprouts were fine, but honestly just sauteed without much seasoning. The ricotta gnocchi was my least favorite. Ricotta is already bland and nothing in the dish changed that. I enjoyed the ambiance and service at Customshop, but unfortunately the food was not worth it."^^ . . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "2014-04-07T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . .
