New American Restaurants near Montvale, NJ

“Patrick and his staff were amazing, as always. His daughters work with him and assist in Ensuring everything is running smoothly. Patrick does his very best never to lose a customer. I have noticed this on many many occasions, he is gracious and although a group may have walking on a Saturday pm @ 7 demanding a table, Patrick always manages to keep everyone happy and satisfy everyone's requests. It is an art and very obvious he has been in the hospitality industry, in management levels for quite some time. He is an asset to F&O, and all of Upper Saddle River patrons or those that have been to F@O speak so highly of Patrick, and enjoys being there on days they know he is working. He keeps a tight eye on tables and guests and ensures people are well taken care of.“

“All the food is under 590 calories and it's so delicious!! The lamb loin and sea bass were very filling and tasty. The golden beet salad, however, was a very small portion when shared. We also ordered a bunch of apps, honestly, order actual meals, they're more delicious.“

“Had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Food was excellent and the live music was great. They just so happened to play our wedding song which was perfect. My husband and I had the tuna tartar and scallops as an appetizer. The scallops were over this creamy sweet corn chowder with corn salsa and croutons - it was amazing and the best scallops I’ve ever had! Tuna tartar was delicious too. My husband had the pork chops with this mustard crust and eggplant sauce and I had veal milenase with an arugula salad on top. Both were really delicious meals. The veal was huge and definitely could have split that. Even though we were so full, we still managed to get the yummy Pineapple cake and hazelnut chocolate mousse for dessert.“

“One the best if not the best restaurant in Bergen County. The cauliflower appetizer is outstanding. I had the sole veronique. Perfectly cooked and incredible. My wife had the chicken Milanese and the chicken moist, not greasy in the least . Definitely recommend it.“

“Great customer service.
We had our baby shower in here and the manager was so nice that you decorated our table, created a cozy atmosphere. We have now a beautiful memory THANK YOU for that. All staff were super helpful. We Highly recommend this Yard House.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“We had a great experience at this restaurant. I made a reservation and they followed my request exactly. I got a really nice seat and it was a very quiet environment. I had a great view of the Tappan seabridge. The food was very good and the service was very attentive and timely. The drinks were really good too .“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“From start to finish we had an amazing meal. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious and imaginative. Beautiful ambiance too.We have had a perfect dinner every time we have been here and can't wait to come back!“

“Wow, what a great restaurant ?
This was our first time here and we were blown away with how wonderful EVERYTHING was.
We went here for the wife's birthday and they had set up a special table just for the two of us.
Whoever designed the decor did a great job with the colors, etc. They made one completely forget about the surrounding neighborhood. While it's not a bad area, it's just not really picturesque by any means.
Wonderful fresh rolls and a super pesto spread started the meal. Next I had a mushroom soup to die for and definitely unlike any other I have had before.
For dinner, my wife had the pork chop which was delicious and cooked perfectly. I had the short ribs with a light brown sauce, mushrooms, spinach and mashed potatoes, which was great, to say the least.
We shared the First "mounds" which was vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate and coconut and should not be missed. Lastly I want to mention that the waiter and the rest of the wait staff were all courteous, accommodating and very professional. We felt that they were among the best we have encountered in our area by far.
We will definitely be dining here again in the coming weeks and I would suggest that anyone living in Bergen county or northern NJ should do the same. EXCELLENT ?

Parking: Parking in the back lot or on the surrounding streets.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience. The lamb chop special appetizer was delicious. Our entrees were fresh and tasty. We had the salmon and the red snapper special - brilliantly prepared by our chef. And dessert - oh my, must try the pistachio crème brûlée. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. It was a perfect evening for dinner. We will be back!“

“I played here for Blank-Fest 2022... great room! Great Staff ...Great Fun!!!“

“The Windsor Bar and Grille is phenomenal. A must if you're in the area!“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“The people that work here are pretty friendly especially the ones that work the night shifts.

Only down side is that the prices are pretty comical if you are used to regular food prices. The owner has jacked up the price of fat sandwiches by almost $5 in within the past 2 years. I shouldn’t be paying $20 for a simple foot long sandwich that has a few fried foods in it.

Maybe have a student special meal as most of the business is from the High-school down the street.“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“The atmosphere is awesome! The food was soooo good!!! What made it even more amazing was our server Briana!!! I couldn’t decide what to try and she recommended the spicy buffalo chix sandwich with sweet potato fries! She was on point with that recommendation!! I’m a foodie so definitely coming back!!“

“Our dinner for four was wonderful! Food was delicious. Some had the tasting menu and others had a la carte. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the skin was so crispy, a first for me as I've never had fish skin before. Others had the filet mignon which was also cooked to perfection. Servers were always available and very professional. We've been here several times and will continue to patronize this neighborhood gem!“

“Great food, atmosphere and service!“

“I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing! Shout out to Christa, who is the soul of the place, and Cory, who goes above and beyond (crayons & paper for my little one). The cafe is a second home to me :-)“

Love the ambiance, love all the wait staff especially Theresa, feels like a visit with a friend! We go all seasons but especially love the deck in warmer weather! GO, you won't regret it!“

“Grazie di tutto! Twice, recently, I dined at I'l Fresco with friends and family members; The words they used to describe Il Fresco were: -Fabulous - dinner was scrumptious -Phenomenal restaurant and staff -Tastiest sauce in the world - delicious hot bread out of the oven. -An Exceptional dining experience. -Amazing homemade tiramisu - wonderful desserts -Best meal ever - better than the meals I had while visiting Sorrento, Italy. From my cousin who went back to Belfast, Northern Ireland: I am keen to get back to visit again and hopefully we can visit the fantastic restaurant again, can't remember the name otherwise it would be getting a 5 star from me. Frank, Henry, Marissimo, and the entire staff always go the extra mile to provide "5" plus Star service. Thank you also - to the wonderful chef and staff behind the scenes. Thanks for everything! Kindest wishes, Colleen“

“Been dining with Joe and the best crew going for years . It is by far out most favorite restaurant in Rockland county. Whatever you choose on the menu believe me you will not be disappointed. The drinks are a full glass of and the wine list is tops. Please give it a try and tell the staff how much you enjoyed your meal. They love to hear that. Anthoby & Janet“

“Went to Dog house yesterday. Found out the chef left. 😩 Food definately proved it. used to Love the cheesecake sandwich, but not today. Way too much Wostishire that overpowered the sandwich and steak sliced too thick. Very disappointed! And the very young bartender was very disappointing also. only 6 people there and not very responsive or knowledgeable!“

“Excellent, a close place to grab halal food. Tried gyro and falafel platter. Rice was cumin forward, gyro lots of flavor and falafel crunch but soft on the inside. Falafel is spiced a little bit differently, not overly vegetal. White and red sauce available too. Will be go-to lunch place. Prices are average but portion is decently sized. Dining tables inside too.“

“Just Janice, what can I say? Awesome environment great service, fabulous food, and the best. It’s a BYBO, especially for brunch Ali and her mom do outstanding job of cooking and servicing their clients. The staff is respectful and always attentive. If you’re in Hohokus stop by Just Janice. You won’t regret it breakfast Lunch or dinner but brunch on Sunday is the best.“

“the best food in nj .. healthy and nice place for every occasion“

“Burgers. Good. Good company. Good service“

“The food is very good. I love the appetizers and the Greek salad! When there’s music, the bands are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“

“So so so good! Amazing quality and delicious flavors! I love that you can order in DeliverZero containers instead of single-use! Everything was so good but I’m most amazed with the tenders! The chicken was juicy and delicious and didn’t seem to be super fried and didn’t have a ton of breading, allowing the chicken to really shine 😍“

“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.“

“Javier Martinez is such an excellent waiter. Perfect timing for each course, tremendously charismatic n kind. He gave us such great service! The food is absolutely amazing too! Everything Ive ever eaten here has been very flavorful, cooked perfectly and extremely fresh. All of the staff do a really great job. -“
