Overall a really nice experience. Service was great, food was good and parking was easy. Totally cool vibe inside so don't let the outside fool you. Can be a bit noisy when busy.

My colleagues and I got sat down and was not served after 30 minutes of our arrival. We decided to leave after the disrespect we received. Will not be coming here again!

I would have to say this is the best tavern I ever went to. Atmosphere is stellar, staff is nice, food tasted great, menu variety was strong and priced well. Lots of parking on both sides of the building

We went there last night and had a pretty terrible experience. First of all their one side parking lot is horribly designed the spots are all slanted towards the back of the parking lot and its very narrow and tight, I had to get out of my friends car to help her get out of the lot. When we got there the host/waiter asked us if we would be ok with a high-top because they have a party coming in. We thought the restaurant had it broken up where the party was on one side and the high tops were near the bar. Well the high-top's WERE near the bar they were directly next to it. Ok a little loud but tolerable until the party arrived completely ignored their designated party area and all went to the bar for drinks. Instead of corralling them to their section they let them completely take over the bar (we are talking at least 50 people on top of the 10-12 who were already at the bar) where they were loud and literally had their backs against our table. The waiters for the party were even going around with appetizer trays to the bar instead of at the tables they set up. I couldn't hear my friend say a word to me and the crowd was surrounding us as we eat. They also kept going in and out of the back door so we had a cold breeze hit us every couple of minutes. My friend and I were so unhappy we got the bill with our food scarfed it down and went to a different restaurant for actual conversation and drinks. Since the party completely consumed the entire restaurant they should've just closed it to the public and let the party have the whole place especially since they were only left with 2 small high-tops anyway, its not like they were making a ton of money. I also feel like more transparency would've been nice as when they said party I assumed the party would be in a designated area away from the regular diners and instead they swamped the whole restaurant. If I had known what a huge loud party was coming I would've saved eating there for another day, now my friends said she refuses to ever return. It's a shame too because the food and drinks were decent and the waiter was nice enough which is why I gave it two starts instead of one. The one thing I can say is maaayybbee the restaurant didn't realize how obnoxious the party was going to get and was surprised as well but they should've had better management in getting them to their seats with a waiter taking drink orders and appetizers in their select area only.

When will establishments understand that the personalities of their staff and service is paramount to their success ?. Came here on a Saturday for lunch. There was no one in the place except us. The bar tender barely said two words to us. Took his sweet time in serving us and never engaged in any interaction . The food and drinks were average with the exception of the price .. which seems to be the case these days.... excessive . I can stay at home and provide the same experience for one third of the cost. Im so sick of dealing with the arrogance of places like this. Provide a better experience or go bust... I will not be coming back and I advise others to stay clear of this place ,it's nothing special .

I stumbled upon this hidden gem in New Jersey, and it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, setting the perfect mood for a memorable evening. The customer service was impeccable; the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.Now, let's talk about the real star of the show – the chef, Ardi. His culinary skills are nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a masterpiece, and my girlfriend and I couldn't help but savor each bite. Ardi's expertise truly elevated the dining experience.In all honesty, this place has become our new favorite restaurant. If you're looking for a delightful combination of atmosphere, top-notch service, and exceptional cuisine, this is the spot. Kudos to Ardi and the entire team for creating such a spectacular dining haven!
Good food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. This was my first time here and I’ll be back.

Nice place for lunch in Hackensack! Have taken my mother there several times and enjoy the ambience. Can get a bit loud but pretty dining area. Nice lunch menu with good specials, lunch salads. Only negative is parking, which is a challenge. Staff attentive and professional

Tavern 61 is by far my favorite restaurant In Jersey. Their Food is top notch and they also have a great bar you can sit at. The Owner Genc and his staff always make me feel at home and give the best best service. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping in at Tavern 61
