New American Restaurants near Hackensack, NJ

“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃“

“Great menu and quality food“

“Everything about Houston’s is excellent. The food the service and the atmosphere. I have been going for 25 years, sometimes there is a wait but worth every minute! Spinach dip a must and everything on menu is fresh and delicious.“

“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.“

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

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

“Visited on a rainy day to celebrate our anniversary. It was a small and cozy space. Felt very intimate. We sat on the bar and it was interesting watching the chefs preparing the food. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our reservation was 5:30 on a Sunday night and we were able to do the happy hour. Literally picked everything from the bites section. The Momo’s were delicious and freshly made. Drinks were delicious. We ordered the jolly duck leg with fried rice and they were AMAZING! Highly recommended and will def come back!“

“WOW WOW everything was fabulous I highly recommend this place - we celebrated my son's birthday and had a great time cold champagne and caviar..... service was over the top - Cote and Pedro made the night..... will be back every time I come to NY - going to try their restaurant in Miami“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

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

“A friend and I dined here over the weekend while visiting the city from WV. I wish I could remember our waiters name because he was an absolute gem. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere and the service. My friend had the pork steak special and I had the trumpet mushrooms. Both were great and if I ever find myself back in the neighborhood I would absolutely visit again.“

“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“How is it possible that I didn’t review 4747lic here before?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time I go there for weekend brunch, I have to return for dinner! I just can’t get enough of the place. Their Dutch baby “Primadonna” pancake and lobster roll are to die for. Much of what is on the menu it’s imported from Italy of the finest ingredients. It’s always fun to take the ferry across from Manhattan to the Pepsi Cola Sign and walk a couple of blocks. They can accommodate large groups, children, pets, wheelchairs, (you name it) at their outdoor seating. Run there. 😊💕“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“I went here for happy hour. They had really good deals 7 dollar wine. Chocolate. Lava. Cake. Makes for an affordable place for a date or to go after work if your in Midtown area. Its harder to get a table if you have a big group so maybe reserve ahead for that. But really its cute and worth it“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Great location, friendly staff, stunning views.“

“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!“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“George was incredibly accommodating & helpful! When my dish I ordered wasn’t what I expected, he made no big deal and got me the most delicious seafood risotto to replace it. The steak was the best my husband has ever had! 10/10 recommend for a date night.“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“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!“

“We LOVE this place. My partner and I were visiting NYC for our Babymoon and had heard Florentin was delicious, but we were blown away. Not only was the food fantastic (we had steak frites), the service was impeccable. Sammy was an incredible host that made our night even more enjoyable!! He was welcoming, fun, and generous. As my partner and I were celebrating, he made us feel so special and taken care of by providing us with mint tea & tiramisu that was to DIE FOR. Literally, I would give anything for more of that tiramisu! Thank you so much to the staff at Florentin, and a very big thank you to Sammy for a wonderful experience! We can’t wait to return“

“If there’s a better wine program in NYC I’d love to know what it is but I can’t imagine it and I drink for living. Top tier recommendations, advice, and experience in wine service. And no godless bordeaux or Napa cab in sight. Excuse my brevity, I’ve been drinking.“

“First JG expires and I see what sets them apart. Fantastic experience with extremely delightful dishes and wine. Staff were absolute pros, friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Special shout out to my server and som. Glad to have been offered a tasting menu to sample dishes which were all memorable, delectable, and plated very appealing and handsome. Sprawling modern comfortable space with pleasing lighting and open kitchen view. I am panning my next visit to bask in the rest of the menu. I look forward to the next season’s variations as well. The bar also looks inviting for casual cocktails, wine, and bites. Looking forward to being a walk in for the same. This will certainly be my JG go to.“

“A neighborhood gem if you want a low key dinner. We had the vegetarian tacos and the Bahn mi chicken samdwich. The tacos were great but the Bahn mi was a knockout..nice bread, tasty chicken, crunchy vegetables and an amazing spicy mayo sauce. Out waiter was very nice and the atmosphere is just the right amount of funky.“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“Really nice ambiance and food! Really loved the entrees especially the pastas- very el dente with appropriate thickness for the sauces. Loved the foiegras terraine as well and the flatiron steak. Very nice cocktail and wine menu and service was so friendly and nice. Comfortable, chic atmosphere without being stuffy. Came with a group of girlfriends to celebrate a birthday and will definitely be coming again!“

“The gumbo and Oxtail w/polenta were 👏🏿👏🏿 Bravo Mike! Bravo!!“

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!“
