New American Restaurants near Garfield, NJ

“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.“

“Hands down the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant I’ve ever been to! You walk into what feels like a cozy dive bar, but when you ask to sit in the dining room, they take you through the kitchen to the back—and wow, it’s like stepping into a hidden gem packed with memorabilia everywhere you look. I didn’t even know where to start taking it all in!

The owner personally went around to every table, greeting everyone and chatting with us about the history of the place—which alone deserves 10 stars. Every single dish we tried was absolutely fantastic. The baked clams were massive, and the garlic clams in that buttery garlic sauce? I could honestly drink it with a spoon. Then came the steaks—perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

To top it all off, the chef came out to greet everyone too and asked how everything was. It’s such a rare touch that made us feel like family, like we’d been regulars for years. And for the kids—there’s even a fun little scavenger hunt, which is such a cute idea!

If I could give Charlie Bloods 20 stars, I would. This place is full of heart, history, and seriously good food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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“

“Phenomenal experience! The food was all delicious and the service superb. The General Manager is perhaps once of the nicest people we've ever met, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. We discussed how we had been so busy during our trip to the city that we didn't even have time to try NY pizza. During our tasting menu experience, an "off menu" item was brought to the table by the GM himself. Under the cloche was A PIECE OF PIZZA FROM HIS FAVORITE LOCAL SPOT. We will never forget this night and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a romantic, fine dining venue. We will be back!“

“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“

“I took my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday, and I just want to say that it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in my eight years of being in New York City. I'm a huge fan of this place not just because of the food, but because of the people behind the plates: the staff is incredibly attentive and kind. Special shout outs to Ronald, Anthony, Harley, and Kalvin, for going above and beyond and making this evening special and one I'll remember for a long time!“

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

“We had an exceptional dinner tonight. The food, the service and the ambiance all added up to a memorable evening. I want to especially highlight our server Francisco and the Manager Alex who went above and beyond to make us feel like old time regular guests. The icing on the cake was a hand written note to us congratulating our anniversary along with champagne and macaroons. I recommend everyone try this special place. We will be back.“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“Couldn't have picked a better place to dine in Midtown. The staff/management were welcoming from the start (our waiter in particular could not have been more personable and accommodating), the food and drinks were delicious, and to top it all off, they gave my daughter a surprise birthday celebration for the ages — complete with a robot to deliver the churros donned with sparklers and singing that engaged the whole restaurant! Thank you, Carla; we'll be back!“

“A chic and unique wine bar featuring chocolate pairing.
Don't let the name fool you - there's also quite a bit to eat here...

We actually came for a night cap - had the must-have chocolate martinis, hazelnut and raspberry, both were delicious.
We also had a cheese platter and a fondue eith fruit, marshmallows and rice crispies.

While the cocktails were stellar - the rest was rather forgettable.
But it does feel like the unique combination of chocolate and wine should be enjoyed here.

All in all, a very recommended place for the lovers of both wine and chocolate.“

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

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

“Wow, JG and JB did a fabulous job creating this restaurant. The front of of the house and the back are all working in sync.
Will was fabulous and our Sommelier was on top of his game.
We only wish we arrived earlier to see Chef Benno before he left.
This is a place to hit for top top top food, drinks and service.“

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“Stunning food and warm friendly service“

“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“

“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.“

“The food was amazing! I order the Cajun pasta and my daughter ordered the Rack of Lamb Chips. I have nothing but good things to say! Oh my! My tastebuds were all over the place! Dancing all in my head! Definitely will return! Plus my server Makayla was spot on! Curtis to great service!“

“Outstanding service. Excellent food.“

“My friends and I have been dining at Seasons for quite a while - we stopped going about 6 months ago - food was inconsistent and not that good. We decided to try it again yesterday and we were pleasantly surprises. There were 4 of us and we all loved what we ordered. The salmon and crab cake were delicious and so were the salads. The steak tenderloin was tender and tasty as well! The service was excellent. Our waitress couldn't have been nicer. The ine disappointment was the cappuccinos we ordered. They werent hot and even though waitress redid them they still came out lukewarm at best. Looking forward to returning.“

“This is my third trip to Robert during my birthday month. Having been invited twice decided to take my sister for her birthday. The service was inattentive and marked by delays. The Brussels Sprouts ordered with the entrees came when most of the entrees had been consumed and without an apology! Embarrassingly terrible service.“

“The staff - from the lovely manager, to the bartender, to the server and the support staff were extremely hospitable and also prompt. The food was delicious and served timely (while warm, which doesn’t always happen at other spots). Loved the waffles and the eggs were delicious. Drinks - yummmm“

“Walking around I came across this restaurant with great music and a nice atmosphere. I sat at the bar and the bartender (Martha) asked about my preferences; I mentioned I liked mezcal, and she recommended the Spicy Mango Margarita, an excellent choice. I started with the French onion soup, very flavorful with the cheese perfectly melted, and then had the Chicken Schnitzel with fries, such a generous portion that I took half home. To finish, the homemade tiramisu with an Espresso Martini was the perfect ending to the night!“

“🥂🥂🥂lovely night, great hospitality, lots of fun 🤩“

“What a great first trip to Martha's for dinner. Loved the location near Pier 13 and nice modern vibe inside. Good friendly service all around. Had a first class expresso Martini from thr bar. I got the sausage fusilli entree which was amazing. Flavorful and the pasta was perfect. Highly recommend!“

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

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Delicious food and upscale environment“

“Village Green is our go to date night spot! The food is so delicious, everything on the menu is good, the chef is really spectacular. Our favourites are the short rib, pastas, and soups. The service is also great! I would highly recommend trying this restaurant to anyone.“

“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!“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“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 magnificent 4th of July experience!“

“We each chose a Hawaiian chicken as our entree with pineapple, rice and broccolini. It came with 2 chicken breasts that were pounded, seared, moist and juicy and a teriyaki dipping sauce. It was a tremendous amount of food and really well done! I also had an appetizer of edamame which was very plentiful. My friend and I didn't make it through half of that order. I ordered a pineapple mocktail which was ok but a little too sweet. We had a very attentive waiter!“

“Had a great experience here! William was amazing and so accommodating! Definitely will be coming back for sure! Thank you“

“Our lunch was delicious! Although it was not a nice day we were able to eat outdoors. They do have a heater, which made it very comfortable. Good service, too!“

“Came here for the first time last weekend, and was blown away. Definitely one of the best spots to eat in bergen county. The space is so well decorated down to every detail, and it is the best mix of cozy and elegant. The service was also top notch. The food was the highlight as it should be. Oysters, polenta fries, and the unique arancini were all excellent. For entree I had the free bird chicken which was excellent. Couldn't reccomend enough.“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“We love eating here with our family. We celebrated our sons’ First Communion luncheon here and the food was a hit with our guests. Everything was delicious. Would highly recommend!“
