“So much loved served at this wholesome,friendly restaurant. Warm and delicious food and service!!!“

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“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!“

“Terrific experience… Amazing place… The owners take great attention to detail… This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for an original experience- one like no other I highly recommend this place“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“A true rating for this spot. Went on a Friday night at 7pm and plenty of space at the bar. Comfortable for solo dining. Had the salmon tartare tacos , so good, well garnished. The burger with avacado is a must have, perfect size and truly cooked medium rare. Hidden gem and they do Brunch !“

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

“Forkhill is the best! The food, cocktails and vibe are always on point. I love how the menu changes seasonally. Last Thursday I ordered the pacherri pasta and OMG it was amazing!!!! That with the pumpkin old fashioned!?! My mouth is literally watering as I write this. It was the perfect fall meal. Can’t wait to go back :)“

Thanks guys so very much for all that u do & for being the great people u r!!! I wish I can give you more than 5 stars…“

“Tracy was out waiter. She was fantastic. She gave us the history of the restaurant and made some great suggestions. I'm not a huge guac fan but the tuna tartare with that layer of guac on top was fantastic. The steak frites were excellent. My husband had the dry aged burger, it was juicy and tasty. It was our first time there but it certainly won't be our last.“

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

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

“We’ve come to St. Eves for dinner several times over the past few years, and we’ve always loved the food and the atmosphere, so when it came time to celebrate my birthday, hosting a party in their private room was an easy choice. I’m so glad we did!

Thank you to the entire staff for making it such a special night. The food was amazing, the service was attentive and seamless, and the private room was the perfect setting for our group. From start to finish, the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back, and I’d highly recommend St. Eves to anyone planning a celebration!“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Had a surprise dinner for my wife's 50th birthday with 15 guests. Everything was perfect. Drinks, appetizers, dinner & service. We will be back and I'm sure our guests will as well. Great atmosphere and the wait staff was spot on with everything.“

“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 ♥“

“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.“

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

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

“Review of Maggie's

If you are looking for an exceptional meal paired with a warm and friendly atmosphere, Maggie's is definitely the place to go.

The dining experience stands out for several reasons:

- Generous portions served with an elegant presentation
- Very reasonable prices for the high quality of food
- Excellent, attentive service throughout the meal
- A comfortable noise level, making genuine conversation easy to enjoy

During our visit, we ordered the Tavern Chicken Cobb Salad and the Mandarin Shrimp Salad. Both dishes were absolutely outstanding. Based on our experience, there isn't a single dish here that I wouldn't highly recommend.“

“This was a night and place we never expected. I kept seeing pictures on Social Media from the Bar Gal CHA CHA. It just always sounded fun. Tonight we went! We had the popular COWBOY CALAMARI, WOW it was so good! My husband had the chicken parm and I had a rib eye. IT WAS HUGE! Cooked perfect and came out hot. We decided to sit at the bar and partake in BINGO NIGHT! We met people and talked. Great Dirty Martini too!! We would go back. We need to try the PIZZA!“

“Here is your place to use in the DoubleTree Hotel or drop in for Happy Hour 5p-7p each night, 1/2 price drinks and their short menu. Had the Korean tacos and my friend did his build a mexican pizza both were great. Lot's on tap and the price and ambiance are just what my travel needed.“

“Su comida es muy buena deliciosos sándwiches excelentes bebidas 👏🏻“

“Such a neighborhood gem! A little quiet place do different from the Hoboken scene. It's a family place and made to order so service maybe slower than what we're used to but worth every extra mins (just so you plan accordingly and don't go when you're in a rush). Definitely going back. The fish cake and meat pastry apps are must try!!“

“As soon as we walked in we felt welcome, woman asked us if it was our first time, sat us down gave us menus she was so sweet, I wasn’t sure weather or not to get chicken or beef with my egusi soup, she offered both… I was nervous at first to try it but it was all top tier. By far the best chicken I’ve had in a very long time and the fufu and egusi was divine“

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

“I ordered the sesame chicken and it came super quick, was fresh, hot, and crispy. The flavor was amazing, the tables were extremely clean. The lady at the counter was very nice. Quiet and clean place, I recommend this place for fresh Chinese food.“

“We had an amazing dinner at Sage-Staff, food and service was the best of the best!!“

“Planned a dinner for my husband's birthday last Saturday. Mars was our waitress. She was attentive and so kind. The manager Sarah provided awesome service to our large party as well. Food was delicious. DJ Blurred Lines played all the hot 🔥 music and classics. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sarah & Mars 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

10/10 portion
10/10 dressing
10/10 crouton texture
10/10 wrapping skills
10/10 during every single bite“
