“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“I was near Goffle Grill last night so I had to stop by and visit Tony the owner. Of course the food was great. I wish I lived closer I probably be there several times a week. They have a pretty big menu and it's never disappointed.Nice people, good food, please support them.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious! We had an amazing experience here as a party of 7 (4 kids, 3 adults) to celebrate my dad's birthday. The meats (I had the pork chop, my dad the vineyard chicken) were cooked to perfection....juicy and tender. My favorite part was that the kids meals came with green beans! Finally, something other than a beige kids menu. And no chicken fingers. My kids were forced to diversify, and they loved every bite. They had the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and burger. Great family-friendly option for a classy dining experience.“

“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!“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Loved it, diffently going back, and they cater to vegetarian, and to anyone who dont drink alcohol, they have a great selection. Now my waiter, Mo, was the best. She went above and beyond, i really appreciated it. This will be my new, go out with friends and watch the games spot“

“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.“

“We live a few towns away and unfortunately we didn’t find this place sooner. Food was amazing not what we expected. We thought it was just a bar but it’s a restaurant. It has a unique feel and the service top notch. Keep up the good work.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful meal on Thanksgiving. We ordered the usual turkey dinner and it was was scrumptious. I believe the new chef owner brings the experience to whole other level. We loved it. We are going back Christmas Eve! I do have to say I was disappointed a restaurant of this level and price point charges a 3% credit card fee. This is a first for us as we frequent comparable fine dining restaurants and we were never charged a fee. Food for thought.“
