New American Restaurants near Lyndhurst, NJ

“Had the best breakfast this morning along with my husband and we love this place so I’ll recommend to our family and friends“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“The experience was spectacular start to finish. Greeted nicely and service throughout was really excellent; paced well, not rushed or intrusive at all. really lovely. Hannah was great! We ordered from the restaurant week menu and a couple of other wise dishes (kimchi, bread and nori butter, patatas bravas). Of these the bread and butter was the least interesting, kimchi and patatas bravas were excellent. Starters -- frogs legs and hamachi, both amazing, cooked perfectly. Small plates -- soba a(with uni supplement) and celery salad, both excellent, soba was our favorite of the two. Salad was very fresh and nice. Entress, hangar steak and chicken sandwich. Steak in particualr outstanding -- cooked perfectly great sauce. Chicken sandwich is big and delicious Dessert -funfetti cake and panna cotta, both excellent. Drinks -- love the selections here boith zero proof and the wine/beer/cocktail options. Passion fruit marg and balsamic negroni excellent; sparkling hibiscus was really good and not to sweet. And the Cava by the glas very nice. The collab with brooklyn cider was a nice Basque style cider that paired nicely with the food. Overall, excellent and will be back!“

“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.“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“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“

“Great food and wonderful people that work there. Kind and friendly“

“Had a wonderful brunch today at Hudson Clearwater. The smoothie was outstanding. This is a quaint rustic spot and deserves all the love for their vegan friendly menu. I chose the blackened fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. The Cole slaw on the brioche bun, lightly covered with tarter sauce, made for a perfect sandwich. Their fries were delectable as well. Great service, and a great meal with my sweetheart.“

“6 Restaurant provided the perfect birthday dinner.
Led by creative flavour— the textural experience of the prix fixe & wine pairing really stood out.

Our server massively brightened the evening with her thought and care.
Can’t wait to visit the next time I’m in town!“

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

“I recently visited this establishment and found the overall experience to be quite satisfying. The atmosphere was well-maintained and the service was efficient, contributing to a pleasant and productive visit. I would recommend it for those seeking a reliable and straightforward experience“

“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone“

“Wonderful dinner from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being served by Ramos, who was attentive, affable, and awesome. We started with the tots & caviar, which was like McDonald hash browns on steroids and the tuna cannolis (also on the smaller side but undeniably delicious). We got the duck ravioli which had a great balance of umami and acidity (the ravioli itself was cooked to perfection). We also were lucky enough to finesse the off menu truffle burger, which is easily an S tier burger (same level as lions bar and better than a PJ Clark’s - steakhouse style, not smashed) Fries were unreal. The dirty Martin’s (w/blue cheese olives) were also perfection and the Cali cab to wash it all down was equally delectable. 10/10. Great food, ambiance, and service. Will be back.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My boyfriend and I visited Inga's on the Sunday after Valentine's Day and loved every moment of our dinner! We live down in Cobble Hill so the 20 min walk was easy and I loved approaching this beautiful warmly lit corner restaurant on a cold blustery night. I had made the reservation a few week prior and we were greeted and seated almost immediately at a little two top. I remarked on how impressive the acoustics were for an open dining room with intimate tables and was grateful the music wasn't too loud so we could hear each other (though the music I did catch was pretty cool). The mixed vintage decor and antique light features add to the nostalgic impression that you're being hosted in someone's dining room.

We started with cocktails: I ordered the martini and was very happy with it as a perpetual dirty gin martini lover and my boyfriend can't remember what he ordered, but it was also enjoyed. We had the scallop crudo, poached shrimp, and octopus to start, all of which we loved (the shrimp with the green curry aioli was my favorite). And we shared the Guinness short rib with a side of fries--also so good and every texture was on point! Next time we'll try to save room for that chocolate cake I've seen photos of online and to also try out what looks like to be a great wine list. We also want to have lunch at the bar and order the burger!

We left Inga's with a soft snow falling outside and I realized we were on Cranberry Street where Cher's family in Moonstruck is supposed to live. We wandered to the water feeling very lucky to be in love and alive in this amazing city with such amazing food.“

“Muy buena cena, ambiente cool y buenas combinaciones. Por ser de un uruguayo mezclaría algo simbólico de allá en el menú, un guiño. Me gusto ir.“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“We sat at the bar and the service was exceptional (Eric and Bryant - thank you!). We had the Caesar salad, mushroom flatbread with truffle and the vegan meatballs - which were so tasty with pickled onions and pickles and tiny potatoes, the sauce was so good!“

“Amazing place. Wine. Chocolate. Food. gf designated!!! Great atmosphere. And the service is WONDERFUL!!!! (shout out to Lex, our fantastic server who es so friendly helpful and fun). Highly recommend. You will enjoy!!! 🐈‍⬛💕“

“The food was good. We did order the very basic things like the burger and steak with fries. We also tried the souffle for dessert. Everything was good, but I'm not sure it was really worth the price. When this was a neighborhood spot and the prices matched (if that was ever the case), I could see it making a lot more sense. But at these prices, I don't think it maths. Nothing wrong with the food, but also not the best of anything I've ever had.“

“We had an excellent pre-theatre dinner for eleven. Colorful decor, fun cocktails, great apps to share and delicious entrees. Staff were friendly and efficient. We were able to bring a birthday cake from home to celebrate the occasion. And we got out in plenty of time for our 8pm show! We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“Family Meal at Blue Hill in New York offers a warm, thoughtfully curated dining experience that feels both elevated and approachable. The menu highlights seasonal, farm-driven ingredients prepared with care and creativity. I tried several dishes, each showcasing fresh flavors and clean, balanced execution. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it perfect for a shared meal with friends or family. Attentive service and a strong focus on quality make it a place I’d happily return to.“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“A masterclass in precision—every dish feels deeply personal rather than performative. Each dish balances restraint and intensity: umami hums beneath bright acids and thoughtful textures, making even familiar ingredients feel newly intelligent. It’s the rare Manhattan restaurant that’s both soulful and exacting, a place you crave not for spectacle, but for how completely it understands flavor. Wonderful people leading the way.“

“Have been here twice in the laps of a year apart and both times consistently good and consistent in flavor, service is perfect. You don’t feel rushed, it’s genuine and they are always keeping an eye on you to make sure you are good. Food is unique but recognizable which is something not a lot of places have. 10/10“

“Great location, friendly staff, stunning views.“

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

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“Great brunch menu, salmon cured in-house and Rose de Provence on tap! Happy and fast service top off a fabulous visit!“

“We visited Pearl Street for the third time in a year and it somehow keeps getting better. We have always thought it was a great restaurant, but this visit truly stood out. The food was fun, creative, and incredibly tasty, and the service was warm and welcoming.

We did the chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was a complete no brainer. Every course was excellent and thoughtfully paired. Easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in years. Do not overthink it. Just go. A solid 10 out of 10. We will be back very soon. Thank you!!!“

““Had a great experience at Lindens Restaurant. The food was fresh and full of flavor, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. Service was quick, and everything was presented beautifully. Definitely a nice place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“One White Street is simply one of the most chic night outs one could ask for. A subtle yet glamorous atmosphere lends way to one of the most fabulous gastronomic journey you will ever embark upon. Very accommodating to a gluten free diet!!!

Big thanks to our server Sam, for their knowledge, and fine dining finesse!

We started with the Rigor Hill Farm Salad, which stars radicchio, its bitter taste uplifted with the house made blood orange vin, shaved fennel, and honey goat Gouda. A definite must have for your table.

Up next was the tamari glazed mushrooms. Earthy and delicately seasoned. The flavors used really complimented the umami rich mushroom.

For our next round we ordered the 1WS burger. A mouthwatering premium meat burger with house made pickles and bun. Truly a showstopper.

Our sides included: an order of crispy potatoes, which had such a lovely texture, the pickled garlic scapes really added an extra wow factor; and the celery root and leek gratin, which was so wholesome and really celebrated both of the vegetables natural flavors without adding too much.

For dessert we were treated to a gluten free chocolate cake which was to die for, and separately a horchata ice cream served with jam. An absolutely stellar way to end the dinner.

Overall it was such an amazing experience I’m already planning on going back with my whole family. The entire team at 1WS is one of the best and most accommodating I’ve experienced in the entire city. Thank you for giving me and my sister an incredible night!!!“

“Gotta be the best Carrot Dish ever! JP helped us pair the wine. Riesling with Carrot, of course. Great evening with inventive cuisine. One surprise after the next. Lobster dish was the highlight of the evening.“

“Best food and awesome atmosphere! 🍷Most definitely one of the best Michelin restaurants ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“This was an early date night dinner for my wife and I. The restaurant is ultra chic without pretension. It has great views and an ultra stylish lounge like setting. The service is "real" and prompt.The food is pretty and delicious. Great mocktails too. Lovely place and great vibe.“

“We came with a friend from the wine industry who raved about Chambers - and she was right, what an amazing dinner and WINE SERVICE!!! Pascaline was so kind to us and gave us a lot of attention, I learned a lot and am still buzzed from the experience. I can't wait to go back!“

“An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Bar 56 – Brooklyn’s Hidden Gem

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Bar 56 in Brooklyn this evening, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of the DUMBO district, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, this spot is not just a restaurant – it’s a destination.

From the moment we walked in, we were enchanted by the stylish, warm and inviting atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed and creates a perfect setting to enjoy a leisurely and elevated meal with nice background music and perfect ambient lighting.

We opted for several small plates to share, including fresh oysters, a divine tuna tartare, and outstanding ravioli. As a side, the Brussels sprouts were simply exceptional. Every bite was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and executed with finesse. The food alone would have been enough to make this a memorable night.

The wine list is a standout feature: original and thoughtfully curated, allowing guests to choose based on flavor profiles rather than just region or grape. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio that complemented our dishes perfectly.

Our evening was made even more special thanks to the impeccable service. A huge thank you to Yajaira – warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Toward the end of the evening, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Quintin Demarre, a passionate French chef whose love for food and taste shines in every dish. His enthusiasm and dedication to his craft truly elevate the entire experience.

And we can’t forget the desserts (Pistache Crème Brûlée and Apricot Granita) – absolutely phenomenal. Rich, inventive, and beautifully presented. We ended with a nice glass of Royal Tokaji white (dessert) wine from Hungary. The perfect sweet ending to an already flawless meal.

Bar 56 is an absolute must-visit for anyone in New York City. It’s worth the short trip to Brooklyn just to experience this level of culinary excellence and genuine hospitality in a great upcoming area. Michelin-worthy in every sense. We’ll definitely be back – and we’ll be telling everyone we know to go.“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“Our server helped us focus our choices because everything appealed. We ordered the topneck clams, beef tartare, stuffed olives and the iberico. The tartare and pork were the stand-outs: the kimchi romesco on the pork was just brilliant and added a great acidic lift to the richness of the meat. And the vibe is so chill, so laid back in the best possible way. Highly recommend and will return.“

“This is our new favorite place the food and service was amazing. We enjoy our time we went during lunch time with no reservations and we didn’t wait long to be seated and our waiter was patient didn’t rush us and was kind. We are definitely going back.“

“Believe the hype!!!! Everything was great. Watermelon margarita was good. Food was amazing. I had the herb lamp chops starter.....to die for. The meal i had oxtails, collard and yams......music was a vibe. Loved it!! Highly recommend and would return.“

“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.“

“Approachable fine dining exceeds all expectations. Every aspect of the experience is top-notch, from the impeccable service to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Paul at the bar is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and his cocktails are beautifully balanced. We had a delightful conversation about gin and mezcal, and his expertise was evident.

Our table had a lovely view of the well-appointed and choreographed kitchen, adding to the overall ambiance. The service was impeccable, and there was no need to rush. We were given ample time to enjoy the food and the highest level of service.

When we made our selections, our server, Noelle, described each menu item in beautiful detail. The scallops in blood orange and romaine with green goddess were a standout dish, followed by bucatini for me and monkfish for him. The sommelier, Allie, paired the perfect wine for each course, enhancing the dining experience.

The attention to detail and the overall experience for laid back fine dining were truly exceptional. It was an honor to be their guest, and I highly recommend their offerings to anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience. Don’t skip dessert Thank you Silvia for attention to detail.“

“This place was one of the best brunches I've ever experienced. Food was incredible & super allergy-friendly. The staff was super attentive and helpful. Bottomless brunch was actually bottomless- we never had an empty glass before they refilled. 100% would recommend to anyone!!!“
