New American Restaurants near Clifton, NJ

“Nice place to visit and have some food. Menu is sort of limited in options. This place gets very busy so I'd recommend a reservation if you don't want to wait. The staff is very courteous. Greet you with smiles and they get your order right. The drinks are really good. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic. I had the chicken sandwich and it was decent. The prices are more like Manhattan prices so be prepared for that but it shouldn't be really that surprising. The Mac and cheese isn't very good. I wouldn't recommend that dish“

“Had a guys night out with 10 friends, the staff was amazing, top notch service. I believe her name was Gina. Made great drinks and great sense of humor. Food was delicious, had the pork chop with pineapple plus some other toppings which now ranks top 2 on my list. Thank you for hosting us. Will be back again very soon.“

“The Love of Grub is top notch in food and service. This is a business run by people who CARE, both the owners and the team that works there. I come in most weekends for their outstanding food, but I recently had a private event there that couldn’t have gone better. If you go to a catering hall, you will get service, but none of the heart that Tracy (the owner) and her team will have when taking care of you and your guests. My friends and family all had the best time. We were comfortable, the food was outstanding and all made from scratch, and we had so many options to choose from. 100/10, book them for your private event. Thank you team Love of Grub!“

“My brother and my nephew love going to this pool hall, however every time we go they stop it playing only rap and bad rabbit music, before there was all kinds of music where there was a good atmosphere, but lately the music leaves a lot to be desired . But in the end you want to go play pool and have a good time with your friends and that's what we do. They serve all kinds of drinks and snacks and sometimes there are also very good views. Despite everything, I recommend this place.“

“Loved celebrating my birthday at Matisse 167. Truly a special experience. Exceptional attention given by Adrian from the moment we arrived. We requested seating outside for the first two courses until rain persuaded us to move indoors for dessert. The food was delicious and Kevin was so nice and helpful. We even were introduced to the Chef and had a nice chat with him. Overall, one of the best dining experiences.“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING. Accompanied by great for and drinks. The wait staff and hostess are Super Sweet.“

“Bloom is an exceptional fusion restaurant that we wish we had known about sooner! So far we’ve only been twice but each time the service has been kind and professional, the food amazing and memorable. It’s our new go to spot for celebrations now.

We tried their winter and spring menus and each time found obsession worthy flavour. On Valentine’s Day we ordered the shishito peppers twice because we couldn’t stop snacking on them. Every element of their Short Rib plate is so good, but I’d happily eat just a bowl of the carrot purée alone. More recently we tried the citrus honey chicken wings which are a new favourite! The flavour is so bold and delicious. As for dessert, the quality of their cheesecake is top tier.

Bloom masterfully delivers their Korean/french fusion menu and all I can do is sing it praises. I highly recommend you try it out.“

“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.“

“The food was great love. The atmosphere. The service was good accept. Bring my wife all the coffee. She never got her coffee. Hence the four Star for the service. I don't know if it was that particular Wait but I need to be honest. It's a great place to go for business lunch. Enter and enjoy a meal Haven't been there for dinner yet, but i'm sure dinner would be great too“

“Delicious food great service“

“Went here with a few friends immediately after a terrible experience at the Buffalo Wild Wings around the corner and were thrilled to have been given the complete opposite experience here! At BWW we waited over 40 minutes to order and didn't get our drinks until long after our food (probably 90 minutes into our visit) but here we were seated with beers in our hands in under 5 minutes. We didn't order any food so I can't speak on the quality but I can guarantee you it's better than that *other* sports bar I won't mention again. Bartenders and wait staff incredibly attentive, drinks ready to flow, TV screens and seating ample. Don't bother going anywhere else around the mall for a few brewskies with some friends.“

“We loved the food, it tastes yummy and modern. We had the kale pesto pasta, the tacos, and the octopus. The octopus was beautifully seared and soft. The pasta was fresh and the sauce was perfectly balanced.

We are looking forward to being back to try more of their food.

Definitely better than Apulia.“

“On a lark, we decided to try Luna Stella for dinner earlier this week. We caught it out of the corner of our eyes as it is tucked away slightly off the Main Street of Maplewood, but boy are we glad we found it! We happened to catch them on a live music night so we decided to sit at a bar table and while the dining room was nearly empty, the bar was full. Our waiter was attentive even with a full plate of tables and the owner came over to us several times to see how we were doing. Our drinks were very good, but the food was amazing! The chicken was pounded so thin for the Milenese and fried perfectly. The short rib pappardelle had a deep unctuous beef flavor but was not heavy at all. The pasta was cooked perfectly! We will definitely be going back!“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Each dish is unique and teases the taste buds. Love this place every time I go there.“

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

“One the best if not the best restaurant in Bergen County. The cauliflower appetizer is outstanding. I had the sole veronique. Perfectly cooked and incredible. My wife had the chicken Milanese and the chicken moist, not greasy in the least . Definitely recommend it.“

“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!“

“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 “

“Amazing food! Come visit and support one do the best places in town!“

“This place has great drinks and atmosphere! The food was okay, but nothing to rave about in my opinion, had fried pickles, wings, and the lobster mac (a little odd that it had corn & asparagus in it). On Mondays they have Martini & Manhattan night, cool spot to have sip with friends. The star of my night was the espresso martini, very smooth!“

“The vibe in this place is great! You get a great view of the ski slopes if you get a good beat, great selection of beers as well. The waiter was very energetic and gave good insight into the foods. The food itself left something to be desired, although not bad for what it is, and the desserts are great. I’d return for the experience.“

“had the chicken parm with vodka sauce was delicious his wraps are delicious great service highly recommend it“

“Pricey but worth it. Aesthetic food and environment“

“I recently 8/25/2024 hosted my groomsmen party at Moonshine Modern Supper Club in Millburn, and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet inviting, with a perfect blend of elegance and fun. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to suit all tastes. From the moment we arrived, we felt like VIPs. The private dining area provided a cozy and intimate setting for our group. The drinks were top-notch, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend Moonshine Modern Supper Club for anyone looking for a memorable night out, especially for pre-wedding celebrations.“

“The hosts were helpful, but we were a family of vegetarians and the kitchen had no way of easy substitutes, it was very unusual for us. A beacon couldn't be replaced with broccoli.
Nevertheless, the food was tasty, unique and appealing.

I have no regrets.

I wish there is a promotion to more vegetarian options

Ps: Special mention to the tasty Hash browns“

“Good food and very friendly“

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

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

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“Such a warm friendly environment. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I had the gnocchi and my husband had the skirt steak. Both delicious. The heirloom tomatoes and burrata appetizer was fresh and seasoned well. We enjoyed the peach and blue cheese salad as well. For dessert we had the orange crème brûlée homemade ice cream, which I'm still thinking about. We shared the crumb carrot cake which was moist and not too sweet. I would highly recommend First. We will be going back for sure.“

“Awesome owners and awesome food. CHECK IT OUT!!!!“

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

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“The food, flavors, and presentation were excellent – even with the chef accommodating some dietary restrictions. The wait staff and hostess were attentive and highly professional. The atmosphere was relaxed and quaint. We highly recommend it.“

“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 ..“

“Great tasting food, cozy ambiance and friendly staff! Highly recommend!“

“My family and I were out of town in Jersey for the weekend...We were tired of eating children foods like Pizza, Fries, Burgers and Chicken tenders. So we decided to google some African restaurants near by. The food was that good and I discovered Modupe to be a highschool friend of mine. This was interesting because she recognized me after 31 years . Please visit this restaurant her food is delicious and her customer service is awesome“

“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.“

“we've eaten here four or five times now because the food is consistently good, prices reasonable and staff friendly and efficient.“

“Went to Nico's for a friends bday on 7/13/24. The bartender served our food and drinks . He was attentive, professional, and polite. The service was great. He even added alittle extra touch for our friends bday. I wish I would of gotten his name to give him a proper shout out. Thank you for making our evening great.“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“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.“

“The steak burrito was the perfect mix of spicy, not too much rice, not too much cheese, and flavorful steak. The spicy noodle bowl is just that. On another level of spice! A tad much. The Thai curry wings were pretty flavorful but a little oily. Def want to try a few more things on the menu but now I know that when it says spicy, they mean business.“

“Hotel is a great place to stay in Jersey City, clean Spacious rooms, great service, Jessa at front desk was wonderful, 5 min walk to path trains into manhattan in less than 10 min, or you can take the ferry, large mall 2 blocks away and grocery store 5 min walk, lots of dining and shopping nearby, However have stayed here many times and was disappointed by the breakfast offering, it was a not as it was, no music, just a dead zone, no salmon, no cooked to order omelette the staff doesn't seat or greet you just a 34.00 seat yourself and sign when you leave, completely self-serve, way over priced for the offerings provided. Other than that it was a great stay. parking 32.00 a day safe attached garage.“

“Had the best breakfast this morning along with my husband and we love this place so I’ll recommend to our family and friends“

“John & his staff were amazing. I was looking for a brunch spot to celebrate my daughter dedication ceremony & I am so glad I found Iachetti’s. The first conversation I had with John over the phone I knew I struck gold! John is so flexible & genuine, he even let me help him come up with the menu choices. I was able to decorate hours prior to the brunch & the food was spot on delicious. I am still craving the meatball skillet. It was the perfect spot to have brunch with family & friends as he closes the restaurant to allow you to have an ultimate intimate experience. I am so happy I found you John !!!! Thank you for making my daughter’s ceremony celebration so memorable.“

“Great service, cozy atmosphere, live music! Great stuffed meatballs!“
