“What a wonderful experience we had at Seasons52 Paramus. We had some of the most delicious food that I can remember. Firstly, our servers Tlijah & Jennifer were so professional in every possible way. They truly set the stage for a great dinning experience. We were fortunate to meet Sandra the manager who was equally cordial and professional in every way possible. Our experience was just that good. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine location. My wife and I will be loyal customers. Try this location once, you will not be disappointed. Barry“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“My wife and I went to St. Eve’s for our anniversary and had a wonderful experience.

Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“Just had brunch at White Maple Cafe. This place has such a beautiful, cozy atmosphere, in the middle of the lovely town of Ridgewood. We had the chicken wings, short rib benedict, and sandwiches. All the food is extremely high quality, delicious, and tastes like it was made with love! The owner Maryam is the most kind, welcoming, and caring host, as well as a great barista! I highly recommend this place for any occasion. Support this business - they deserve all the love!“

Food was delicious. DJ Blurred Lines played all the hot 🔥 music and classics. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sarah & Mars 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“From start to finish we had an amazing meal. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious and imaginative. Beautiful ambiance too.We have had a perfect dinner every time we have been here and can't wait to come back!“

“Cars is a Ramsey staple that every high schooler knows. The people here are always ready for the lunch rushes and constantly give back to the community, from simple posters on their windows to directly supporting the Ramsey district, they have played their part in uplifting our community. Additionally, the highschool lunch rushes to get here are no joke, with some running to make sure they are first to get here.“

“Food is fresh and presented wonderfully. A little on the high priced side. The price matches the ambiance though. You have to plan to spend when you go but will enjoy the experience completely.“

“Great food and atmosphere. wonderful staff.“

“hands down the best place! beyond 5 stars from food to staff.....Francesca and Junior were beyond exceptional bartenders! Food was excellent.....Absolutely love everything about this place“

“The Windsor Bar and Grille is phenomenal. A must if you're in the area!“

“We had our holiday party here and the experience was excellent. The staff was extremely accommodating, making everything run smoothly. The food was beyond outstanding as usual! This time we started with 3 apps that I tried. A salmon tatar, raw oysters on a half shell and shrimp. We like to eat and love our food lol. Soo sooo good- Then I ordered the tuna that had a perfect crispy crust on the outside and rare on the inside with a delicious wasabi sauce along side black rice and steamed bok choy. Incredibly delicious Would definitely go back! Highly recommend!l“

“First time their! Food was amazing. The short ribs melted in your mouth!. The arugula salad with hearts of palm and fresh cheese was delicious! The strawberry shortcake made in a tall glass was so creative and delicious! Can’t wait to go back! The service was excellent!“

“Great place. Food and service are awesome .“

“I'll be honest - I had pretty low expectations given my picky NYC taste buds but this place DELIVERS. The food is rich in flavor, plated like Gordon Ramsay is waiting with a camera crew, and very family friendly. I have a 4 year old and 2.5 year old, and it was so easy with them. There's a huge lawn for them to expend energy and it's in a very quiet little enclosure so it's very safe. The staff are very nice - like they could easily be kindergarten teachers. Definitely adding this spot into my weekly ventures. I almost didn't even wanna leave the review so it remains a hidden gem but they deserve all the business and then some. Thank you!“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“Good Food and service with a view from the 12th floor. Eddy and his staff will take great care of you. I always eat here when I stay at the Crown Plaza“

“The brunch and the twin waitresses where amazing. I can’t wait to come back“

“I have had many food sensitivities and they were wonderful to accommodate. The restaurant was lovely. The service was perfect and they were very fast to serve us. The restaurant was busy with a party outside, but they attended to us in a super way. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. It was just very very cold inside will return again we had salmon and the chicken and bananas Foster for dessert as well as sour sop sorbet which was amazing. Homemade“

“We are at The Burger Loft on a Friday night. it was very busy, but the service was good and the food was outstanding!“

“Great vibe for live music! From Grunge to Reggae... Great pub food!! I'm hooked on Thursdays Jazz!!! Every Thursday has different surprise guests - Jazz at The Dog House is NEVER boring!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏽☮️🇺🇲🗽“

“We haven't been in a couple of years. We had our daughter's wedding at the Hilton in 2022 and the food was always excellent. We especially remember one of their signature dishes , the short ribs. I don't know if it was a bad night, they changed the recipe or changed the chef, but it was nothing like we remembered. Too bad, very disappointing.“

“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃“

“Great menu and quality food“

“Love this place! They have an entire vegan menu with at least ten vegan options. They have both Beyond and Impossible products, as well as a fabulous black bean burger and falafel wrap. Lots of vegan sides, too! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-26“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“The food is very good. I love the appetizers and the Greek salad! When there’s music, the bands are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“

“Stumbled upon this gem and haven't looked back, since before covid, during covid and to this day! My favorite pub, I recommend all, never disappoints! Love the ambiance, love all the wait staff especially Theresa, feels like a visit with a friend! We go all seasons but especially love the deck in warmer weather! GO, you won't regret it!“

“We have been shopping here as our main grocery store pretty much since it opened. While it is a smaller Whole Foods, it tends to have a good stock of a good variety of items, both fresh and packaged. It is generally clean (with one exception, see below) and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an Amazon Locker here, so you can get your Amazon packages delivered to this locker, do your shopping, and then pick up your package all in one trip. There are a two issues I very much wish they would fix. For one thing, the restrooms are consistently not clean. This is a suburban store and doesn't get the volume of customers that an NYC store gets, but they don't seem to be able to keep the restrooms in good order. My other issue has to do with what they choose to stock in a couple of categories. The first is orange juice. I always look for organic orange juice not in a clear container (so as not to compromise Vitamin C). I just want organic orange juice in an opaque container the way it comes -- not pulp-free, not extra-pulp, not with Vitamin D added, etc. They never stock this. My other stocking issue has to do with ice cream. They have all kinds of interesting flavors, several kinds of dairy-free options, etc. but I just want a pint of premium, organic vanilla ice cream, straight up. This can sometimes be found but often they don't have it on the shelf even though they carry all kinds of great brands that would offer it. If only this store remedied these two issues, they'd be five stars for sure!“

“Wonderful food and amazing hometown warmth!“

“Just we were seated by. Bar area. Girl took care of too many tables. Never came back to check up never got our water x a good. 25 min waiting on food“

“I was near Goffle Grill last night so I had to stop by and visit Tony the owner. Of course the food was great. I wish I lived closer I probably be there several times a week. They have a pretty big menu and it's never disappointed.Nice people, good food, please support them.“

“First time last night at Fire and Oak. Where do I start??? The atmosphere is so amazing. Our server Damian, was top notch.....attentive, super sweet and did not rush us at all. Let's get to the food.....was unforgettable. My son and daughter in law had the spinach/artichoke dip and burrata. My husband and I split one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. Dinner entrees were prime rib with loaded baked potato and the pork chop. All of us enjoyed every bit. Dessert was a 4 way split of oreo cheesecake, tiramisu and key lime pie. What a delicious end to a most enjoyable evening. We will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you Fire and Oak for a memorable night.“

“Was here recently and had a wonderful experience! Jessica, our bartender, recommended a delicious margarita flatbread “pepped up” and it did not disappoint! She also convinced me to try the Pumpking beer for dessert and that was a delicious surprise! We will definitely be back on Mondays and/or Fridays to see Jessica and try more of her recommendations! She made us feel so welcomed and the service was top tier!“

“great food and comfortable atmosphere“

“Great Elton John show! Great service at the bar! And atmosphere was fun!“
