New American Restaurants near Fairfield, NJ

“Passed this place a bunch of times. So I was hungry. So I said let’s give it a try. Well was amazing. Staff from moment walked in very friendly. Warm welcome. Started off with the Fire Roasted Wings (10) flame-broiled all-natural chicken wings marinated in fresh herbs & spices + lemon & herb dipping sauce Dough-Roni Pie Olli Salumeria pepperoni + tomato sauce + ricotta + fresh mozzarella + red onions Lemon Ricotta Ravioli Hand-made Ravioli + summer squash + fresh mint + pistachios + lemon zest + parmesan cheese Got off track sorry. Has seating at bar and has outside patio. (Was just a little to hot out there today) Very clean and definitely swinging by again. It’s right across street from Fairfield airport. Can’t forget the wine cooler before seated. There had to be 25+ wines to choose from.“

“My daughter and I stopped in for a bite after a day of estate sales and thrifting. We ordered a few things to share. It was a lot of food! :). The atmosphere was great because of mother's day celebrations. The risitto was good and so was the steak.“

“Having been here many many times, I continually enjoy the authentic northern China seafood and other dishes that this restaurant makes. Their seafood is mostly pan-Yello Sea style, that of Qingdao and Dalian. The dumolings here are also great, honemade with thicker skins than usual. Service is fine, food arrives pretty fast. The facility is a bit run down, but that doesn't destract the tasty food they offer here.“

“Service was exceptional in a casual environment. They have an extensive menu with many options. They don't have many steak options, just Filet mignon, from what I can see. They have a sister restaurant located on the same property called Capitol Grille, which is a high end steakhouse.“

“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.“

“Was great overall! The drinks were delicious (The dragon cosmo was a really really good recommendation!) The food was fairly priced and the chicken nachos are honestly my favorite, I couldn't take a good photo cause I couldn't stop eating them!
Server was attentive and very nice, only downside was my dessert was packed up and they forgot to bring my container of hardly eaten wings I was going to save for later and I realized way too late it wasn't in my bag :') Everything tasted great aside from that“

“We live a few towns away and unfortunately we didn’t find this place sooner. Food was amazing not what we expected. We thought it was just a bar but it’s a restaurant. It has a unique feel and the service top notch. Keep up the good work.“

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

“Great Food, Great Service Great Atmosphere. So we were bummed when we saw they closed the original location because how much we loved the place. We were relieved when they announced they were opening up in a much more appropriate and highly upgraded venue. This was perfect timing for us to celebrate our 9 year anniversary here. Upon arriving the inside captures the comfort and style of the Livingston location and then improves upon it with the beautiful outside seating area. Now onto the food which is just as good if not better than the original location im glad to see the quality has remained consistent. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wifes pasta dish was packed with quality flavor. The drink menu was definitely brought to the next level as well everything seemed like it was fine tuned and everything we tried was on point and had its own unique delicious flavor profile. Andy behind the bar was very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to talk to about the different cocktails. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great it wasn't youre traditional kind but we loved the spin they put on it with the cake and ice-cream. Lastly for service Jonathan took amazing care of us and made our special day very memorable along with the rest of the staff. Everyone that came by the table was professional and had a smile on their face. They all seemed happy and took pride in their work which was nice to see. We will definitely be returning in the future. I implore anyone that reads this to visit and support this wonderful place.“

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

“Our waitress Anna was awesome ! When eating with a 3 year old for breakfast it's a little more challenging on the wait staff , but Anna had it all under control ! Great food greater service a little pricey for the breakfast buffet $40 per head but you get what you pay for ! Excellent experience , the entire hotel was awesome for our family of 7 trip !“

“A group of us decided to give this restaurant a try after a round of golf. We were so happy we did!!! What gem. The atmosphere was very nice! Great bar with plenty of TVs. Nice restaurant area. The food was the highlight! Great food! We had possibly the best wedge salad I have ever had. Trust me. The rest of our group had salads, wings, fish tacos and burgers. All great! Our waitress was also so friendly and nice. We will be back! Even without golf we plan to come back.“

“We stopped by after an event at NJPAC on a Sunday afternoon and had a fantastic experience. The grilled feta with cherry tomatoes and pita bread was absolutely to die for. I had the braised short rib and my partner had the shrimp scampi—both were excellent.
For drinks, I tried the Fig Mule and the Buchanita (both great, though I preferred the mule), while my partner really enjoyed the Spiked Southern Tea. Overall, a wonderful meal and experience—highly recommend!“

“Fancy relaxed dining. Gorgeous venue with superb views of the city. Highly reed the food and service. Follow IG: maria.angelspear for the reel“

“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.“

“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!“

“Service was quick
Employees were cheerful and enjoyable
Food was very tasty seasoned correctly
I had to beef in Chinese vegetables, large amounts of beef selection vegetables could’ve been better
The barbecued boneless spareribs were out of this world!!
The chicken fried rice in the how special fried rice is perfect
Then don’t leave without their homemade mustard😀“

“When conducting business, customer service and integrity are crucial to me. Having dealt with many Nigerian businesses, I’ve found that integrity and customer service is often lacking; however, Modupe is a remarkable exception. Her customer service is A+.
I recently ordered from her restaurant through Grubhub twice, but for some reason, the order was canceled both times. Instead of letting it go, she took the initiative to ask for my address and delivered the food to my house herself—unbelievable! As a business owner, I know that is truly going the extra mile. I just want to say thank you so much for your incredible service!“

“Staff and food were both great! Definitely would go back.“

“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.“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“What a burger!!! The National, soooooo good“

“This place cranks out the best Taylor ham egg n cheeses. Any negative review you see of this restaurant is false. Seriously, get the TEC w SPK on a roll and you will literally soon after be telling someone else about how delicious it was.“

“It was the 1st time at Maggie's and it won't be the last! Fast service (but not rushed), hot food and we took our dessert to go! Alyssa, our server, was amazing and made sure all of our dietary wishes were met! Stop by for a drink - a meal - or just to say hi to the super friendly staff!“

“Fabulous place to host a private event in their beautiful downstairs area. The buffet was one of the best I have ever been to, the dressing on the salad was exceptional. The owner was very accommodating and the menu offered a variety of choices that took into consideration allergies and dietary preferences. not one complaint on any of the food. our server dona was terrific, the place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, lots of parking available and very reasonable prices. I have also been there for lunch and highly recommend their flatbread. Love this place and will be back often.“

“I go to the ebar for coffee and a salad maybe twice a week. The employees are fast, friendly and super sweet. I would like to leave a compliment for them to the manager. Which, come to think of it, I have never seen. Hopefully he or she sees this message.“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“Sam’s Table is a cozy restaurant with a seasonal menu and very welcoming staff and decor. We dined here with friends in March where we had the most delicious spring menu. Everyone at the table tried something they “don’t usually like” and Sam changed our minds. Every course was fresh, creative, beautiful and delicious. I loved how each dish had a special touch - we had preserved lemon and pea tendrils and sunflower seed tahini and dandelion. We will definitely be back.“

“Place is great and solid. They make the best breakfast in town, too bad they aren't open earlier but I guess to keep quality the chef/owner need to sleep or be with their families at some point unfortunately for us hungry customers. Burgers, dogs,gyros, turkey sandwiches, and Italian ice recommended.“

“Amazing party venue. Highly recommend it.“

“Good food, friendly, knowledgeable staff!“

“Lovely establishment with delicious food and top notch service“

“Meatloaf was banging Pineapple upside down cake, also Friend had the tilapia , enjoyed it“

“I was hostessing there. The 3 owners work really hard to accommodate the customers, the tents really were a blessing to so many of them especially when it rained. . Lots of people enjoyed just being able to come out and see others and share a meal with each other. Everyone loved the food Especially now that Giuseppe has joined as the main cook. His meals can’t compare to none other as that’s what all the customers told me the other day“

“My husband and I went for my birthday lunch. The food was excellant and so were the drinks! We could not have asked for a more polite and accommodating waiter“

“Great food! HUGE portions!!“

“Me and my husband have been going to State Street Grill for the past 4 years and they have been like family to us. Always with good food and service. Our GoTo waiter Sidney is always on point.“
