“Very good! Owners were super nice!“

“Wow, am I impressed. I would not normally eat in the hotel lobby restaurant.

So glad I did to tonight. I had the happy hour salad, meatballs and penne Ala vodka. In order of greatness, salad, pasta meatballs. Salad maybe one of the best, A+... pasta the same. Meatballs amazing, very nice. Karem at the bar was attentive and a pleasure. And she made some amazing drinks. I'll be back. Congratulations.“

“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.“

“If you want fresh and clean ingredients this the place!“

“Awesome place. Highly recommend!“

“Creighton and Isabella were really nice and made me feel welcomed. I love the place, the ambience and it’s by far the best espresso martini I’ve had in my life, shout out to the bartender. The food taste amazing. Looking to come back again.“

“Louis was a phenomenal Server, food was amazing like always. Cannot go to a better restaurant in Northern NJ. 10/10 great service speed between courses and well attended. If you have a special occassion or just like perfection I highly recommend The Capital Grille in Parssipanny, NJ. Make sure you make a reservation for dinners.“

“This place is excellent. I bought my friend from Japan with his family and was happy to take them to Cornbread for some authentic soul food. Needless to say my friend and his family loved the experience. They were finishing a road trip throughout the US and they thought the food at Cornbread was some of the best they had in their month long journery. The turkey wings were particularly good and I'm saying this as a person who is mostly vegetarian. Service was also excellent with attentive help and the servers were conversational and friendly with my friends and I. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend Cornbread Montclair as a solid business and a great place for delicious Soul Food.“

“My first time going there and the food was good. I got the fried mushroom platter with wild rice, chickpeas and salad. I felt good eating the food. It wasn't greasy or had me feel like crap while eating it. I'm from Philly and was visiting Newark for the weekend, but when I come back, I will be going there again. #vegan #blackowned #italisvital“

“Been here 2xs, food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Seasonal cocktails. A stranger , i will call Joy, bought us a drink. Thank you!“

“Wonderful food. Nice attentive service!“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“Fresh and heathy food. Love it“

“Great staff, family, and vibe. Yolanda is the best and OUT DID herself. Rosa and her husband out did themselves. Great family, amazing staff, great food. I am so happy and would host another event here 100%. 1000/10“

“The best vegan cafe when you’re in the mood for a great scone and cup of coffee! They’re lovely people!“

“A real gem of a cafe, nothing else like it around. From the kind and thoughtful owner to beautiful, whimsical ambiance and of course the most delicious Indian style light lunch fare and desserts! Prices are more than fair. We can't wait to return!!“

“Amazing and delicious - you need to go here as soon as possible!!! Best ice cream!!“

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“What a wonderful find! Everything about the experience here was absolutely amazing. The restaurant has a cozy, warm environment with a lovely corner setup that makes for a great dining atmosphere.
The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. A special shoutout to our waiter, DAVID—he was fantastic! He was so helpful with walking us through the menu and giving recommendations, which made deciding what to order effortless.
As for the food: the sushi is super delicious and fresh, with a great variety of options to choose from. I truly and highly recommend Sushi Koshi to anyone looking for phenomenal food and exceptional service!“

“Absolutely amazing sushi and outstanding customer service!

The food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. A special shoutout to Celina for providing such amazing customer service, remembering my daughter’s order, and making the experience even better! The quality of the food and the excellent service make this place the best sushi restaurant in Essex County.

Definitely a returning customer! Highly recommend! 🙌🍱“

“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.“

“We always enjoy our meals at Indian kitchen and Grill. Whether we get take out or dine in, the staff is extremely friendly, the food is fresh and flavorful, the music is calming jazz and the booths are so comfortable. We have many favorite dishes @ we especially love the thickness & taste of the raita. We highly recommend this restaurant, and we also enjoyed it 25 years ago when it was Begum Palace. The owners make us feel like family.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was spotless, and you can really tell they take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Service was fast and efficient without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality you receive—great value all around. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Great Service. Delicious food“

“I’ve ordered a few times all great experiences. Today I ordered in store at the kiosk and picked up, got home and although i got two combos (lamb k jerk chicken) upon eating the first few bites I realized both were only jerk chicken. I called however their voicemail isn’t set up. I wish someone could call me back and offer some kind of assistance/ discount 😩

UPDATE: The customer service team reached out to me immediately after my original review, apologized for the mix-up, and offered to make things right by replacing our two combo platters.

I stopped by Saturday night and showed the staff the email. They immediately knew what I was referring to, apologized again for the previous experience, and took care of my order with no hassle or confusion. My food came out quickly, the customer service was great, and the food quality was great as usual!

I really appreciate how quickly they responded to my concerns and that the same level of care carried over when I returned to the restaurant. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. They addressed the issue immediately, made the resolution easy, and followed through on exactly what they promised. Definitely appreciated!“

“Amazing selection! My lovely wife is gluten free and they gluten free menu is VAST“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“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.“

“I held a celebration of life in the private dining room. In addition to the food being plentiful and delicious the wait staff were all excellent. I would recommend the Cloverleaf for any special occasion function as well as regular dining. They provided the best venue possible“

“This was my second visit to Paheli. It was even better than the first And it was excellent the first the first time. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious food“

“Randy’s is hands down the best ice cream in NJ. Yes I said it and I stand behind it.“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“Today was our 4th time visiting Samba. The food is consistently great! the service is top-notch. They have a very friendly staff. The atmosphere is old-school Brazilian and very comfortable. I highly recommend Samba, especially if you like gluten-free cuisine.“

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.“
