New American Restaurants near Closter, NJ

“Great waitstaff and management! We’ve driven past here so many times and Stern & Bow is always packed! Food is 6+ stars!“

“We went there for a special occasion dinner. Everything... literally everything... was outstanding from start to finish. The service was absolutely on point. While not inexpensive, the food quality matched that of some of the best restaurants we've dined at in NYC and throughout our travels. In addition, the portion sizes were ample. I hesitated to order the scallops, as many places tend to serve too few to make it worthwhile. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that The Hill served plenty of scallops, which were impeccably prepared. Our server was absolutely delightful. We had a wonderful conversation with the host (owner?). After discussing how amazing the cocktails were, she invited us to the bar to see some of their spirit offerings and chat with the bartender. We will absolutely be back.“

“Very good food, staff was extremely helpful and friendly“

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

“We have been to Seasons 52 in Paramus on a number of occasions, and it is consistently a pleasant dining experience! The food is always very good, and the service is pleasant, courteous, and very efficient. On this most recent visit, it was my birthday, and the restaurant provided some additional features, which made my birthday celebration extra special!“

“Frankie and I love it here. They’re wonderful and make us feel special every time. ❤️ highly recommend“

“Went there on a Friday night. It took a little while for us to be seated. But once we got seated, our waiter was very attentive and courteous. The food was great and so were the drinks. We had lobster spaghetti and shrimp & crab ravioli. For the drink, i had the gold digger cocktail. It's a lychee martini, ifykyk. The DJ was a vibe. They played afrobeat, R&B/hip-hop, reggae, and Spanish music. It's very loud in there, not a place for convo, but more for turning up. Definitely will be coming back.“

“We are definitely biased, but Wednesday night at 8 is a great time to enjoy the roasted Brussels sprouts, burgers, salads, and Pub Quiz. The staff are wonderful and the regulars are very welcoming.“

“Great customer service.
We had our baby shower in here and the manager was so nice that you decorated our table, created a cozy atmosphere. We have now a beautiful memory THANK YOU for that. All staff were super helpful. We Highly recommend this Yard House.“

“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 “

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I’m on the hunt for the best breakfast burritos in the city. So far, G’s has the best breakfast burritos I’ve found in Manhattan. Are they the best in the city? Maybe. More tasty, tasty research is required, but you cannot go wrong here.“

“We had a great experience at this restaurant. I made a reservation and they followed my request exactly. I got a really nice seat and it was a very quiet environment. I had a great view of the Tappan seabridge. The food was very good and the service was very attentive and timely. The drinks were really good too .“

“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!“

“My new favorite lunch spot. A great way to eat healthy during the day.“

“Fantastic local spot, gets quite busy during peak lunch and dinner/weekends. Nice salads, burgers and wings. Lots of interesting patty choices (elk, bison, etc). Also, one of the best (most diverse, interesting) rotating domestic crafr tap lists in the county. They're always playing great rock, blues & funk.“

“I played here for Blank-Fest 2022... great room! Great Staff ...Great Fun!!!“

“Checked this place out 9/19 for dinner and WOW! Edward at the front counter kept me entertained with good conversation as my food was prepared and once I got home I was satisfied not only with the portion of my meal but the flavors and the freshness of everything - SO GOOD. I’ll be back frequently to explore their diverse menu, they have vegan and veggie friendly diet menu items as well. Well earned 5 stars“

“The squash soup was so delicious! Drinks and dinner were yummy, the service was great“

“Enjoyable lunch experience“

“The restaurant has a lot of good food and I'm really looking forward to more good food“

“Update: Unfortunately I have to deduct a star because I ordered the cilantro marinated chicken breast with angel hair and the chicken was hard and dry and the pasta was mushy and completely bland and unseasoned.

My first time ordering from here and the food was really good. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was so good that I ordered dinner from there that same night. Both arrived hot and fresh. The only thing is that I thought the chicken sandwich came with salad (as pictured) but it came with fries. Either way everything was really good. They also have one of the best chai lattes I’ve tried in the city.“

“Service was lovely with Patrizia! Dessert was decadent!“

“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“

“There's a good reason you see so many 5 Star reviews - this place is awesome! The food is fresh, menu is creative and the staff are v nice. I promise anyone that goes that it won't be their last visit.“

“This is a great restaurant with a very chill atmosphere. The food is really good and they have a different variety of things for you to try. If you love beer have over a hundred different beers on tap and at least 20 something beers off tap.“

“Sweetest cafe in Irvington, New York. Clean space, service is smooth and quick, food is fresh, and they have an array of pastry options. We tried the honey turkey sandwich, tiramisu, and cappuccino- everything was just right and the portions perfect. You’ll feel at home inside; ideal for breakfast, brunch or for study. Side note that it is Albanian owned and operated, so we already knew it would be good. Can’t wait to be back! ????“

“This place is so clean. You wouldn't expect it when you first walk in, but there's no dust balls or cobwebs or anything on the antiques on the walls. So impressive. The staff and owners are so polite and professional, I feel like I could do a full page review on them alone. Our waitress Lisa was a pure delight. A breath of fresh air. If you enter through the bar you get to have a "Goodfellas" moment as you pass through the kitchen to the dining room and get to greet the chef. Finally, the food. It was awesome. I had the steak cooked medium and it came cooked medium..."WHAT!!".... I KNOW, who does that anymore. Cooking a steak to the temp you want it. Innovative. Oh, yeah, my wife had some did too that she thought was delicious. Anyway, it's a cash only restaurant so stop at the ATM before you head there for dinner. Go soon, you won't regret it.“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“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 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“Loved my first experience here. Stopped in after shopping the town. Bartenders Tommy and Anthony were working and made incredible drinks. They were both very inviting and make you feel at home. I will be back to enjoy the atmosphere and great bartending skills.“

“The atmosphere is awesome! The food was soooo good!!! What made it even more amazing was our server Briana!!! I couldn’t decide what to try and she recommended the spicy buffalo chix sandwich with sweet potato fries! She was on point with that recommendation!! I’m a foodie so definitely coming back!!“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

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

“The restaurant offers an impressive variety of vegan options. While they do serve chicken and some meat sandwiches and eggs, the staff ensures a safe dining experience by using dedicated grills specifically for plant-based items to prevent any cross-contamination. As always it is advised to ask again when ordering. Additionally, they have a delightful assortment of vegan pastries, like banana bread and blueberry scones.“
