“what a pleasant surprise to have met my friend for her Birthday here and the inside is so nice! The staff very accommodating and the food was really good, my friend loves Greek food and raved about the spinach pie she ordered! I enjoyed my salad so much and I would definitely make this my new go to!“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!! MY WIFE AND I CELEBRATED MY 30TH BIRTHDAY HERE AND WE VERY MUCH ENJOYED!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“We have been coming here for years, and Jimmy and Andy always treat us like family! We drive from Orange County and are never disappointed. The sushi is amazing, among my favorites are the Mango Tango roll, Tiger roll, Tri Color roll and Tuna Amazing! The appetizers are small enough portions to try everything without waste!! It’s All You Can Eat, so easy to order more of what you like! But perfect sized appetizers so you don’t fill up before the sushi arrives! The sushi is always fresh and plentiful and the staff’s attention to details is unmatched. When the owners truly care about their customers, it shows and is appreciated! I have sent at least 20 friends to their restaurant who are now loyal customers on their own!! Thank you AJ’s for going above and beyond!“

“Outrageous food, I had the veal chop and it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“If you're looking for a place to have delicious seafood (especially of the crustacean variety) without breaking the bank, you have to come to C&M. I've come here twice already and gotten their gigantic buckets of crabs and mussels. I'm impressed by the quality and quantity, and it's all extremely reasonably priced.“

“Huge portions of great food! Salads w/spectacular dressing lead to enormous, expertly-prepared steak, chicken and seafood entrees!“

“When I want to go outside or I'm working and need to eat I always try to come here if there is no food at home. This place is amazing.

The food is just delicious, for all the plates I ate here never had this "okay" food it is always tasty and yummy. And the price is another plus, 10$ for a lunch meal, 1 entrance (mostlikely soup) 2nd (usually rice with either chicken or pork) and a cup of drink. (Not soda).

And even when buying other than "special lunch" it is quite heavenly.

Conclusion, it is a great place, amazing good, great service. Now, the only bad thing is the parking, if u eating in the morning I guess there is parking at papays since it is pretty close, but in the afternoon, quite dificult, since it is not recommended to park on popeyes.

Parking: Morning fine, afternoon is dificult to find a parking, without risking it and park at popeyes.

Kid-friendliness: They have this chair for kids. And can ask for little plates for them.

Wheelchair accessibility: Somewhat.“

“Louie's On The Avenue has been our favorite local restaurant for years ..however last Friday Stephanie and her team knocked it out of the park! with 24 hours notice, they helped plan, decorate, cater and Host our impromptu wedding. It was fantastic. the decorations, the signature drinks, delicious apps, brilliant wait service and overall atmosphere was unbeatable! I cannot express our gratitude enough for making this a memorable event for both Steve and I. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts❤️ love love love you all!“

“Such a nice ambiance in the bar area. Got the Chicken Taco's which was very good & Cosmo was also very good. My husband got a burger which he enjoyed. Service was pretty good too! Will come back!“

“We highly recommend this place. We been here few times now. We had a surprise wedding party at the private room. The managers, Tom, Tim& Jorge went above and beyond to make sure everything run smoothly. Thank you so much for the amazing food and service at our wedding! Everything was perfect. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the dinner was.

We especially wanted to give kudos to our server, Nick and Will, they provide “ world class service” along with the rest of the staffs . We're particularly grateful for how accommodating they were with the cake services.

The whole team's professionalism and dedication made everything run smoothly, allowing us to be fully present in the moment and enjoy our special day without any stress with family.“

“2nd time here, not disappointed!“

“The brunch and the twin waitresses where amazing. I can’t wait to come back“

“Nice place, a little out-of-the-way, which is perfectly fine. Lots of menu choice, food is good quality, from bread and appetizers to dessert. This is a BYO place. Service was a little uneven, but that was most likely due to the fact that there was a really large party in the dining room and they tend to be high maintenance. Worth the trip.“

“Awesome!! 5 star are not enough. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Food is super delish!! We had the seafood soup, the virgin tacos( a true hit) the burritos( tortillas de harina) the fish filete came w rice and black beans and salad natural juices and all was simply great. The size of the food are really good I could t even finish and took to go. My kids were happy and couldn’t even stop eating. From food to desert to service all top of the line“

“This place is worth a stop. Beautiful space with good energy. It immediately feels like home. The food is good quality and made fresh.

Seems pricey except the portions are huge. More than fair value. I'm glad that I questioned myself on why I expect West Indian food to be cheap. Now I feel like I stole.“

“Gilligan's is an awesome Grill, my compliments the night my fiancé Mary Elizabeth O'Keefe Goodin and I had dinner there was to both Front of House and Back of House. Service was brilliant, food was brilliant, the staff were brilliant. If I was living in the area I'd make Gilligan's a regular venture for awesome cuisine.“

“This place is TOP SHELF. Went twice this past week and honestly feel there is NO place in the area that comes remotely close to this restaurant! I moved from Bergen County and until now, could not find that rare combination of quality food, CLEAN and attentive , personable staff. The seafood is AMAZING. I’ve heard some comments in reference to the owner….guess what…he’s doing a whole lot of right, maybe you just don’t know the difference.“

“The food and Sangria are amazing and the staff is the absolute best. Jessica and Max are a huge reason why me and my husband come here almost every Saturday. They are so kind and take great pride in the work that they do. That combination is special and unique. Can’t wait to go back🤗“

“We tried No. 12 as a new restaurant for a date night. We enjoyed the mystery of how to enter and were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. Our appetizers and meal selections were delicious as we tried the ceviche, empanadas, quinoa salad, and octopus. I was happy that they were able to accommodate me as I am dairy and gluten free. We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent food and service we love this restaurant“

“I love going to fire pot, the food is just delicious. I can go there again and again🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲“

“What an absolutely wonderful dinner we had at 081 Cafe in Ho-Ho-Kus! This gem has quickly become one of our favorite spots for authentic Italian cuisine. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Joe Esposito, the owner, has created something truly special here, a place that feels like a true Italian family table. Joe’s passion for real, old-world cooking shines through in every detail, and you can tell he pours his heart into making sure every guest has an unforgettable experience. Our waiter, Oscar, was outstanding. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, he took such good care of us and made the evening flow perfectly. The entire staff was professional, welcoming, and clearly proud of what they do, it’s that rare combination of efficiency and warmth that turns a good meal into a great memory. Now, let’s talk about the stuffed artichoke. I haven’t had one like this in over half a century — not since my grandmother made them when I was a child. The first bite took me straight back to her kitchen. Tender, perfectly seasoned, and filled with that classic, soulful stuffing… it was pure nostalgia on a plate. I honestly got a little emotional. If you love traditional Italian appetizers done right, you have to order this. Everything else we tried was equally delicious, but that artichoke alone is worth the trip. If you’re in the area and craving real, heartfelt Italian food served with pride and care, do yourself a favor and go to 081 Cafe. Tell Joe and Oscar that a very happy (and very nostalgic) customer sent you! Highly, highly recommended. We can’t wait to go back.“

“Great food and very nice customer service“

“The Holiday Buffet was excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection and was so plentiful. Would definitely recommend Big Jim’s food. He gets 5 stars from me and my family.“

“The Best Chinese food in North Jersey! Freshest vegetables and lean meats without too much sauce. Nothing hidden here. This food is top quality! We are glad they re-opened and the new location is very nice. Eat in or take out, either way you can’t go wrong. Attention to detail on orders and super friendly staff takes it to the next level. Glad you are back open!“
