Attended a end of season party for my sons wrestling team in the party room. There was ample space for all of us, the staff and manager/owner was exceptionally kind, friendly and accomodating. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back with my family for a meal or host an event from this restaurant.Parking: The lot forms a semi circle around the restaurant, there was plenty of parking for all the event guest plus whatever regulars dine there.Kid-friendliness: It was a kid event so there were kids all over the place being kids and having fun. No one reprimanded the children for noise or rambunctiousness. It was alot of fun for the children.

I've said many times that the owner of Michael's Riverside in Lyndhurst, is one of the best, if not THE best, restaurant entrepreneurs that I've yet to come across. For all of the events that we've hosted in his fabulous party room and restaurant, (and we've done many!) the owner, Michael Mateen, has extended to us the utmost in professionalism, fairness and courtesy. From everything ranging from my husband's milestone 60th birthday celebration to my son's 40th birthday party, and so much in between, we were not only very satisfied but we've always received kudos and high praises from our guests as well. In addition to birthdays in the back party room, we had a baby shower for our new grandson along with his first birthday party. We've also hosted several dinner-dances, local campaign rallies, and New Year's Eve galas. Right now, I'm in the middle of organizing a high school get-together at Michael's Riverside. Aside from parties, simply having a dinner in the restaurant part will let you realize that this place never disappoints! Attached are photos that I took of several buffet trays at one of our more recent parties. The food, by the way, is amazing!! Thank you, Michael, for allowing us to always rely on you for a job well done!

Michael hosted a repast after funeral at 11am. Totally professional and welcoming from Michael and his wife. A family run place. And every dish was delicious. In a state full of Italian restaurants, particularlly Lyndhurst, Michael's stands out as one of the best for flavor. Italo

truth be damned
We were here for a repass, and I thought they did a very good job. The food was very good and so was the service. The price was fair. I really don't have anything bad to say about this place. They took good care of us, and I do very much recommend them.
