Modern European Restaurants near Montclair, NJ

“We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Sam’s Table. You can truly see and taste the passion, creativity, and thought that go into every dish. Each one was brilliant, showcasing its star ingredient with remarkable respect and care.

Over the last few years, my partner and I have been slowly working our way through the city’s Michelin starred restaurants, and I can genuinely say that our experience at Sam’s Table surpassed many of them. The experience punches well above its price. From the exceptional food and meticulous attention to detail to the thoughtful service, every aspect of the experience felt incredibly special. It was my wife’s birthday, and even the small card waiting on the table was such a nice touch.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had this experience and will be talking about this meal for a long time to come.“

“Had lunch here today with a friend. Ordered my shawarma bowl and mentioned to the girl at the cashier that my throat hurt and I was thinking of hot tea. She put together a cup of tea with fresh ginger and honey — so thoughtful!! And the food is top notch.“

“If you love great food and drink and friendly atmosphere this is you're place. I travel 28 miles to come here. It's my home sweet home. I don't go anywhere else from the comfortable seating and the nicely cooled lounge and a place outside if you're a smoker. Wide assortment of coffees and teas and adults beverages. Come on down they are open everyday except Tuesday THE FOOD IS SUPERB.....“

“Small place ran by a lovely couple with all the signature classic Romanian dishes! This place is a complete hidden gem! The eggplant salad starter is just like my grandmother and mother make, the meats are excellent - portion sizes are huge and everything tastes like a solid Romanian place on my visits to Romania. The star today was the Papanasi - a classic Romanian cheese donut! One of the best I had ever! Highly recommended! Will definitely come again!“

“Great food and homemade soups every time I go there. One of my favorite Portuguese restaurants in NJ.“

“I stopped in for lunch today since I was in the area. I was very happy with my meal. I ordered the 2 roll lunch special and a salad. The spicy tuna roll and sweet potato were very good. The server was so nice and the service was fantastic. I would definitely go back. The only thing I would want different is the salad dressing. It’s a soy or Teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds and it was ok, but I like the standard ginger style dressing. Other than that this place is very good.“
