I want to add that I had my husband’s 50th birthday party there and they did an outstanding job making it happen. Karen and Sam Made some amazing food and they were so attentive to my guests. The bartenders, Kyle and Jo Jo Rocked it they made amazing drinks and Kept them coming to the birthday boy the Whole day.

There’s an amazing selection of perfectly curated, delicious wine for an amazing price. The wine tasting machines are SO COOL. John and the staff are incredibly nice, helpful, and fun to talk to. If you haven’t gone yet, what are you doing?!“

“I’ve been to The Side Door before, but I’ve never had a bartender like Crystal. She is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had! I originally stopped by for just one quick birthday drink, but her friendly personality, great energy, and amazing service convinced us to stay much longer than we planned. We ended up spending way more than we expected, and it was worth every penny because she made the whole experience so much fun.

I was honestly surprised to find out she’s a new bartender here because she made it feel like she’d been doing it for years. She was attentive, welcoming, and knew exactly how to keep the good vibes going.

Crystal truly made my birthday drinks memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I’ll be recommending The Side Door to all of my friends—as long as Crystal is behind the bar! 10/10 experience.“

“REALLY good food- service great.“

“Dante’s has truly transformed the old Alexis Steakhouse space with a modern, refreshing facelift and a fantastic menu to match. It’s the perfect spot for happy hour, a night out with family or friends, or even a business lunch. One of the standout features is their exclusive upstairs party room, which accommodates 75+ guests—ideal for baby showers, bridal showers, or business meetings. The space includes a flat-screen TV for presentations or party highlights, plus its own private bathroom and bar. Convenience is another plus: Dante’s offers plenty of parking and is located near all major highways (Rt. 46, Rt. 3, Parkway, Turnpike, and Rt. 80). The cozy bar area is great for catching a game, and their intimate lounge space comfortably seats up to 10 people with private wait service—perfect for small gatherings. I’ve enjoyed Dante’s for everything from meeting friends and business lunches to happy hours and private lounge get-togethers. The food never disappoints: the prime burger is massive and made with quality prime rib, the tuna tartare is fresh and loaded with avocado, and their homemade chips are addictive. The clams casino are packed with flavor, the steak sandwich features premium cuts, and the pear salad with grilled chicken is a delicious option if you’re looking for something lighter. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Black Jack's is an awesome local sports bar / restaurant. There are many TVs with all the sports entertainment you could possibly ask for. The food is great and so is the service. I particularly like that they have live bands on the weekend.“

“Great carribean food like nowhere else, and the host of a great Wednesday jam that’s been going on for over 20 years.“

“The home of the Bergen Wildcats for decades! Great place and great people!“

“Great restaurant - food is great, service is attentive. Restaurant policy not to allow you to have bread before you order is not good for people who need food with their drink. Manager (blond woman) was disappointing in her lack of understanding and customer service -very poor.. It is sad we must find another favorite restaurant because we loved it there.“

“This place was fantastic! My husband and I went there on a whim. And we are so glad that we did. We love the ambience, it looks like a country cottage. And the service was awesome. She was there to make us comfortable and happy.....which she did. And the food was the piece de resistance . We had stuffed zucchini blossoms for our appetizer and they were perfect. Then we got a salad, of which the house dressing is the way to go. And then we had an order of snow crab legs that were PHENOMENOL! And we also ordered the Pasta dish which had deep sea scallops and shrimp with a vodka sauce over angel hair pasta. Which was also incredibly good. We left there feeling very happy and satisfied! Thanks Country Cottage! We DEFINETLY will be back. =)“

“My husband went there and said it was a very eclectic type place and it was very nice. The food was good and the staff was great.“

“I don’t usually shop here but I WILL absolutely shop here for now on. I really enjoyed the quality of the service I received from John and Matt. John is very friendly and social. You end up feeling like you know the guy for years…. Matt is the owner, who undoubtedly lead me to select some excellent choices of wine, that my husband and I truly enjoyed. I’m looking forward to futures opportunities to shop (and learn) thank you“

“We ate here for my son's 11th birthday. The hostesses greeted us with pleasant smiles. Our waitress, Liz was very polite and accommodating. Our food was well prepared delicious and a gracious portion size. At the end of our meal Liz brought out a delicious brookie topped with ice cream in celebration of my son's birthday. This experience is one we will never forget. 10/10 in all areas!!!!! Simply AMAZING ♥“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

The bartenders and team went above and beyond, providing outstanding service that made the evening unforgettable. Thank you for such a remarkable experience!“

“Good food. Attentive server. Good value.“

“We had the pleasure of playing at Celtic Knot for the first time during St. Patrick’s Day weekend under the tent. While the outdoor crowd was a bit lighter at times, every time we came inside we were met with so many compliments and such a warm responseit truly meant a lot. The staff, security, and patrons were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the owner made sure we were well taken care of throughout the event. We’re grateful for the experience and hope to be back again“

“Deff a great little spot to go..the new owners really fixed the place up nice and made it a comfortable hang out.the prices are great and the staff is super friendly and pleasant to talk too. I deff reccomend this place to be used as ur liquor and ciggerette store and or your little hangout to shoot some pool watch some TV and have a drink“

“Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, awesome service, love trivia night, highly recommended!!!“

“What a fun time sitting outside with my family Great food great waiter great scenery Love it“

“Great food, fast service. Been coming here for years. Don’t mind the 80’s music but they have it CRANKED. Came in for breakfast and couldn’t even have a conversation with my wife as Journey played in the background.“

“Patrons at the bar/lounge were extremely loud, there was about 10 youngsters sitting there all screaming at each other & talking over each other non-stop. We were at a high top right next to them. We could not hear the Kootz band nor we could not have a conversation. After dinner, we moved to another table by the band. Those kids were very loud & obnoxious & never shut up the entire time.“

“I never ever ever ever feel obliged to review restaurants. There are hundreds of reviews that speak and echo anything I would say about the delicious meal I enjoyed. But what is compelling me to post this was truly the regarding the service I received here. It brought me to tears!!! Patricio and Dylan were the most considerate, kind, attentive and understanding waiters I have ever met in my entire life. After dining in the tri-state area my whole life, exploring cities like Chicago and LA through food, I’ve been conditioned and numb to lackluster waitstaff and typically take the approach of trying just to avoid them spitting in my food, but Patricio and Dylan completely floored me in their attention to detail, knowledge, and service that showed me exactly what good waiters could be. Living with GI issues and intolerances, I consistently feel like an inconvenience at restaurants and that the entire responsibility of making sure I don’t fall ill after dining is based on how I modify the menu and pick around my plate. EXCEPT here at Rails with Patricio and Dylan, I had the first care-free dining experience in my life, their thoughtfulness allowed me to be truly present with my family, enjoy the wonderful food being served, and just live in the moment, which is so important to me. Dylan was explicit in the detail of every dish and always helped me navigate what was coming around and being served. Now, back to the tears, when I subtly mentioned in passing to Patricio that I couldn’t eat dairy and couldn’t partake in the birthday cake, he brought me a delicious sorbet flight, unprompted, just so that I could feel a part of the festivities. I can’t wait to go back to Rails to see my friends again. - Emily R. Sartori“

“The pierogi appetizer was 10/10 delicious! Great location! And our server was Sonya and she was helpful, happy and attentive ! So many desert options as well!! The mint chocolate is what we went for and again 10/10!! My cousin and I will be back!“

“If I could call a place my “cheers” this place would be it. I came here for a first date one day. Never saw that guy again but became a regular here! Now I feel like family. Always a welcome greeting!
Not to mention the food is phenomenal. I’m highly addicted to the Franklin steak house salad with steak. Their house dressing is soooooo good. Get the garlic bread too. Everything is really good. I’ve no complaints.
Thank you for the great job you guys do!“

“We've been Wayne residents for three decades and somehow missed this culinary treasure! The warm welcome and attentive service set the tone for a fantastic meal. The menu is a delightful surprise, catering to all tastes. The Potato Cheese Tots and Bacon Mac and Cheese were crowd-pleasers, while the French Onion Soup, Pork Scallopini Marsala, Filet Mignon, Filet of Sole Capricciosa, and Chicken Toscana were simply delicious. A must-visit for anyone in Wayne!“

“NOTHING... The service was horrible and the wait time incredibly long. Then on top of all that they AUTOMATICALLY added a 20% gratuity to our bill and when the bill came there was a space to add a gratuity... so if you don't look at your bill and just add the gratuity you got RIPPED OFF“

“Fun place on a weekend with live music and outdoor dining. Ordered a margarita burger one day for lunch and it had no basil and no marinated tomatoes. Just lettuce and sliced tomato with mozzarella / If the owner or manager is reading this - please don’t sell that hamburger without basil & marinated tomato because it just becomes a basic cheeseburger with mozzarella instead of American that’s costs more. I would’ve preferred the regular cheeseburger if I was aware the basil and marinated tomato were not available!“

“Jenn the bartender is great“

“Nice place for the kids to enjoy a party“

“Buena comida latina“
