Giovanni's Bicycle Club

After exploring a historic house in nearby Alpine, this longstanding establishment on Route 9 has been on my radar, and we decided on lunch today. Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni's Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable but was not necessary on a Sunday. Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them. The windows could be raised for that inclement weather, and heaters turned on when needed. They do have a main dining room, with the front bar much fancier. A few small bicycle artifacts make the place memorable and unique. We decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Complimentary bread with dipping oil started our meal. The food was tasty with a healthy portion. The price was a bit pricey. The service was friendly; our server was Buket. We could recommend this place.

Always an excellent dining experience. Creative menu & consistently delicious! Friendly staff & lively ambience. Beautiful atmosphere.

Almost all of our food came out wrong, continually had to ask for missing items. It was very unfortunate and we will not be returning

The bartneder was amazing. She made us terrific cocktails specifically to our preferences.

First time here, what a wonderful surprise! Enjoyed a night of dancing and good music with high school friends of 40 years! Only ate the bar pie...which was good. We'll be back.

I thought the restaurant name was a bit curious when I first heard it, but it's a beautiful place and so charming. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the food is delicious. Enjoy a craft cocktail beforehand. You won't be disappointed.

It's a great place for brunch. The food was excellent as well as the service was attentive to our needs. It's definitely a place to visit for brunch again

We got here at 10:05 AM. and Gustavo the chef sat us down because the waiters were late. So late that Gustavo the chef took our order, cooked and served us our breakfast . He was super professional, and super nice . He apologized on their behalf for the waiters not being in on time.
I give this chef thumps up for handling everything so professionally. Gracias Gustavo you made our stay a happy one 😊

Second time at this restaurant with a friend who likes it. The first time, I didn't like anything about it: our table, the service or the food so I was hesitant to go again. We requested a nice table so they seated us in the enclosed glass seating area which was much more pleasant and the food was good and they didn't rush us.
