New American Restaurants near Garfield, NJ

“I walked into this small cafe without even thinking they had such a great variety of food… I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! The pizza is fantastic, thin airy crispy crust … so delicious!!!

I ordered the drunken parm sandwich and it was made fresh, the breaded chicken was made right then not cold and frozen like other places.. they put the perfect amount of cheese and sauce .. it was crispy and not messy. The hero bread was delicious too! I cannot rave enough about this place!

It’s also very clean!“

“Very chill family owned and operated North Jersey tavern and steakhouse. It's cash-only, but there is an ATM up front near the bar. The burgers and steaks are the main attraction, but there are plenty of seafood and poultry options that are delicious. They have a full bar with beer, wine, and cocktail specials (and a good variety of each). Service is friendly and your meal will likely be cooked and/or served by the the owning family.“

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

“Want to have a good food, drinks and vibes with great service. Well look no further, this is the spot right here. One of my favorite go to spot. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Check them out.“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“food was excellent Raven our server was top rate even though we were there for RW everything and everyone was on top of their game“

“Great experience from the front door to our exit! The drinks were great, food was excellent, the bar tender and attending waitress worked as a cohesive team and we loved hearing about the family that started it all and their housemade brioche, cocktail, and fois gras - couldn't come with a higher recommendation!“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“Wonderful dinner from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being served by Ramos, who was attentive, affable, and awesome. We started with the tots & caviar, which was like McDonald hash browns on steroids and the tuna cannolis (also on the smaller side but undeniably delicious). We got the duck ravioli which had a great balance of umami and acidity (the ravioli itself was cooked to perfection). We also were lucky enough to finesse the off menu truffle burger, which is easily an S tier burger (same level as lions bar and better than a PJ Clark’s - steakhouse style, not smashed) Fries were unreal. The dirty Martin’s (w/blue cheese olives) were also perfection and the Cali cab to wash it all down was equally delectable. 10/10. Great food, ambiance, and service. Will be back.“

“We sat at the bar and the service was exceptional (Eric and Bryant - thank you!). We had the Caesar salad, mushroom flatbread with truffle and the vegan meatballs - which were so tasty with pickled onions and pickles and tiny potatoes, the sauce was so good!“

“Omg, where do I begin….

The ambience and vibe amazing!!! Food was delicious, drinks were fabulous. Had a cheeseburger, included was melted cheddar cheese and mushrooms. Also came with a salad which was sooo good. This place made thee best chocolate martini.

Olivia, the server was also amazing, so sweet and attentive. She made the experience even better, couldn’t have been happier. And the bathroom was very clean and smelled so good with a scented candle.

You will not be disappointed…. So happy my manager recommended this place.“

“We had an excellent pre-theatre dinner for eleven. Colorful decor, fun cocktails, great apps to share and delicious entrees. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were able to bring a birthday cake from home to celebrate the occasion. And we got out in plenty of time for our 8pm show! We will definitely be back!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Went there during the Restaurant Week. The menu was much better compared to some other restaurants we went to. The hostess was cheerful and pleasant One tall male server was not good at all- first, he tried to take my plate despite there was still food left and the utensils were placed to show that I was still working on it. Doesn’t he even know what that mean? He apologized, and later came to ask if we needed more bread. We said no, but I still had a big chunk of bread on my plate. We only said we didn't need another piece of bread. But he took away everything including the butter. He needs to be trained and know what he can do and can’t while customers are still eating. Taking plates away no matter what is not his only job! He was rude.“

“This was an early date night dinner for my wife and I. The restaurant is ultra chic without pretension. It has great views and an ultra stylish lounge like setting. The service is "real" and prompt.The food is pretty and delicious. Great mocktails too. Lovely place and great vibe.“

“Florentin, a Mediterranean gem on Amsterdam Avenue, understands something essential: that hunger is both physical and aesthetic. Florentin offers the kind of Mediterranean cooking that makes you remember why we gather around tables in the first place.

The Florentin salad arrives like a small rebellion against November chill. The light green shishito peppers—prepared in some novel way the kitchen won’t quite reveal—manage to be both familiar and different. The sea bass is respectfully handled. The steak frites is what steak frites aspires to be in its dreams.

Service here operates with a quiet competence that’s increasingly rare. The staff listens.

I suggested they consider live music—a jazz singer, perhaps someone with Juliet Ewing’s smoky presence. The waitress seemed receptive. Every restaurant is a work in progress, after all. We build our pleasures incrementally, adjusting as we go.

Worth your attention.“

“This is our new favorite place the food and service was amazing. We enjoy our time we went during lunch time with no reservations and we didn’t wait long to be seated and our waiter was patient didn’t rush us and was kind. We are definitely going back.“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“Believe the hype!!!! Everything was great. Watermelon margarita was good. Food was amazing. I had the herb lamp chops starter.....to die for. The meal i had oxtails, collard and yams......music was a vibe. Loved it!! Highly recommend and would return.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in Bergen County. A really elevated dining experience with nice options at every course. The focaccia was great to start with, every single salad was fantastic, I loved the pork Milanese, but the homemade gnocchi was incredible.

Lemon tart to finish was balanced and elegant.

I’m excited to try more things on the menu next time I’m here.“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“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.“

“Outstanding service. Excellent food.“

“Always a steady goto in our restaurant rotation. Seasons 52 in Paramus never disappoints. Their Pork Chop is one of my favorite entrees along with the Filet Mignon and Lobster, you can't go wrong with the flatbreads, tuna tartare, golden beet salad, and Maui Tuna Crunch Salad. Something for everybody. Cartier and the rest of the crew that works the bar are great, and always welcome us back when visit.“

“Our 40th Anniversary dinner was amazing last night! From the service to the food and meeting the chef after! What a wonderful restaurant especially for a special occasion! Thank you for an amazing night!“

“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.“

“A chic bar with elegant Gatsby themed vibes throughout.“

“Stunning food and warm friendly service“

“What a treat to stumble upon Parker & Quinn! It was an intimate atmosphere and a perfect night for me and my 10-year-old daughter. The kids’ menu was so good (the pasta was homemade and so delicious that I had to enjoy a few bites!), and my margarita flatbread was incredible. Great service from our server and another gentleman (the manager?) who came over multiple times to check on us. I highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for something away from the hustle and bustle and generic nature of Timed Square. Chef’s kiss!“

“A magnificent 4th of July experience!“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“Consistently spectacular. What an amazingly creative chef, consistently incredible service and the host make sure every detail is taken care of flawlessly

We are regulars and love how the menu changes and new exciting specials show up all the time. Everything is amazing but we do have favorites in particular The Crepe appetizers and the Jagerschnitzel and whatever duck creation they do. If you haven't come here yet I don't know what you're waiting for“
