New American Restaurants near Bloomfield, NJ

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Amazing amazing amazing the food was delicious the service was great and the Kremas reminded me of my family’s recipe! Definitely recommend them for the food is very traditional and you will love it!“

“My husband I went in to eat. Yes, it was busy. Our initial greeter seated us. We placed our drink and food orders and received our drinks. We received our drinks after 5 minutes of arrival. Unfortunately, we waited for another 30+ minutes only for our server to say "1 minute please". Needless to say, if we were served, this poor review would not have been necessary. I paid for our drinks and left disappointed and hungry. I have drinks at home, what we needed was to be fed and given service...shameful“

I especially appreciate the variety of healthy options, which makes it easy to enjoy a delicious meal without compromising. The service is consistently outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a high-quality, satisfying dining experience!“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Miguez at Yard House yesterday, and his service was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. He was attentive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Thank you, Miguez, for making our time at Yard House so pleasant—we’ll definitely be back because of you!“

“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10“

“Great place. Will be sorely missed. Unfortunately, could be beginning of mass exodus from our formerly great nation.“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“My partner and I love ordering from here. We live in the neighborhood and it’s so convenient to have a place like this we can walk to for something delicious at a great price. I don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything off their menu; their pizza is the perfect Jersey pizza, their burritos are huge and taste SO fresh, and their cheeseburgers are like In N Out but WAY better quality. They also have desserts and the chocolate cake I tried was great. Love Aileen’s “

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“Good food and very friendly“

“This is my go-to spot for Sunday Brunch. The 3-course Prix Fixe is affordable and delicious. Portions and drinks are just right and servers are engaging. Music is not over-bearing and there are TVs by bar to enjoy sports events. Just a pleasant place to spend Sunday afternoon.“

“Highly recommend Gus’ Last Word. This neighborhood establishment is cozy and chic at the same time. It is a perfect balance of retro and modern vibes. I was comforted by yummy chicken pot pie and unique cocktails. It has a lovely bar, with lounge areas, dining section and outdoor space. Shout out to the chefs, Christian the bartender and delightful Erin who provided great welcome, informed explanations of beverages and food, and great service. I will be back.“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Went here today, in absolute awe over how beautiful this restaurant is in the inside. Food was 10/10 and service was 10/10“

“Wow! Had an outstanding night at the Roxy and I think it’s been my best bite in JC.

Service was incredible, friendly, and attentive. We did go at an off peak time, so we got extra special service. However, I think at any time the service would be top notch.

The cocktails were excellent. Extremely balanced, delicious and amazingly seasonal.

The food was soooo good. I had the short rib special and I highly recommend it while it’s available. Absolutely delicious and the best short rib dish I’ve had.

I can’t wait to return!“

“The food and service is excellent. It is always an enjoyable evening.“

“A Hidden Gem in Hawthorne F1rst, a cozy BYOB nestled in Hawthorne, NJ, is a delightful surprise. The unassuming exterior belies the culinary excellence within. Our recent dinner with neighbors was a testament to the restaurant's charm. The star of the show was undoubtedly the pork chop. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The bolognese, rich and hearty, was another standout dish. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was simply divine. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience…including the occasional lovely Maitre D! While the restaurant's ambiance is modest, the quality of the food and the warm hospitality make it a truly special place. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience in Hawthorne, f1rst is a must-try.“

“We dined at Robert’s for the first time. We were celebrating a relative’s birthday. The food was outrageous! The appetizers were amazing as were all of the entrees. I had chicken stuffed with mushrooms and I can honestly say that it was the best chicken I have ever eaten. The portions were plentiful. We had a large selection of desserts to choose from at the end of the meal. I chose one particular dessert but before mine came out, I asked if I could exchange it for one that someone in our party had in front of her. No problem. They accommodated me and it was beyond delicious. Also, the staff was very attentive during our whole meal. They could not have been any better. The only negative was the fact that there was also another birthday celebration going on at the same time and it was so noisy that we couldn’t hear each other talk. Despite that, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this fabulous restaurant.“

“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.“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“We had such a great time, and while the food was good, it was the service that truly made the experience. Sara was absolutely amazing, so lively, friendly, and attentive. She anticipated our every need and made us feel completely taken care of. I’ve never experienced service quite like that!“

“Had tickets to Beres Hammond and decided to make dinner reservations. What a surprise, food was amazing 5 star restaurant flavors. Drinks were also very good and they can give you a cup to take in the show. Our waiter Mena was awesome. Knew the menu and we tried a few things he suggested and couldn't have been more impressed. I can't wait to travel up again just for dinner.“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“the best food in nj .. healthy and nice place for every occasion“

“We have dined here many times before seeing various shows at the Papermill Playhouse, and our experience has always been delightful. It is a nice, quiet little restaurant with a big heart. Everyone there is so kind and attentive. The service is wonderful. Everyone from the host, our server, even the bartender greeted us with big smiles. The food was fabulous as well. The chef came to our table to chat and see how everything came out - fantastic! It’s great that they have a pre-fixed menu, you pick your appetizer, main course, and desserts, and it’s all themed based on the show, so clever! The steak was cooked to perfection. By the time dessert came out, I could barely eat another bite, but I did! :) Drinks are delicious as well. The manager is a nice guy too! He came around to see how everything was - impeccable. From the atmosphere, to the food, the drinks, the staff, it was truly a wonderful time. We are looking forward to many more pre-dinner shows at the Carriage House!“
