New American Restaurants near Montvale, NJ

“We used the adjacent Courtyard for our wedding hotel block, and could not be happier that we chose Fire & Oak for our after-party bar and day-after breakfast. We used the large private room that easily accommodated >50 people. The service and food were awesome, prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend!“

“Place is outstanding. It is a party for your palate. A great place to mix and match to get as many flavors as possible. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Owners came out and greeted us. Highly recommend for a fine dining experience.“

“What a wonderful experience we had at Seasons52 Paramus. We had some of the most delicious food that I can remember. Firstly, our servers Tlijah & Jennifer were so professional in every possible way. They truly set the stage for a great dinning experience. We were fortunate to meet Sandra the manager who was equally cordial and professional in every way possible. Our experience was just that good. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine location. My wife and I will be loyal customers. Try this location once, you will not be disappointed. Barry“

“Came in alone, ordered a beer and wings to go. Within a minute of sitting at the bar, a friendly bartender came to greet me and take my order. Another bartender came over shortly after to check on me. Very nice to be seen and appreciated. Great atmosphere to watch a game and great food. Thank you !“

“This place is awesome! I went for the first time this past weekend and had a wonderful experience. Super tasty food and excellent service. I have some pretty severe food allergies and James was so reassuring and made me feel at ease. Highly recommend the Charlie Girl cocktail!“

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

“We’ve come to St. Eves for dinner several times over the past few years, and we’ve always loved the food and the atmosphere, so when it came time to celebrate my birthday, hosting a party in their private room was an easy choice. I’m so glad we did!

Thank you to the entire staff for making it such a special night. The food was amazing, the service was attentive and seamless, and the private room was the perfect setting for our group. From start to finish, the whole experience exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back, and I’d highly recommend St. Eves to anyone planning a celebration!“

“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.“

“We came for a saturday brunch and it was nothing short of excellent. The manager greeted us and we had some drinks at the bar. The bartender gave us some great recommendations for the menu and the owner even came over to us and introduced himself which was very nice. We got the meatballs, rockshrimp and calamari, lobster guacamole, and burrata which were all incredible and great shareables for us. 5/5 and will definitely be back.“

“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..“

“We had our holiday party here and the experience was excellent. The staff was extremely accommodating, making everything run smoothly. The food was beyond outstanding as usual! This time we started with 3 apps that I tried. A salmon tatar, raw oysters on a half shell and shrimp. We like to eat and love our food lol. Soo sooo good- Then I ordered the tuna that had a perfect crispy crust on the outside and rare on the inside with a delicious wasabi sauce along side black rice and steamed bok choy. Incredibly delicious Would definitely go back! Highly recommend!l“

“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“

“Great food and atmosphere. wonderful staff.“

“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.“

“Great vibe for live music! From Grunge to Reggae... Great pub food!! I'm hooked on Thursdays Jazz!!! Every Thursday has different surprise guests - Jazz at The Dog House is NEVER boring!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏽☮️🇺🇲🗽“

“We booked tables upstairs for a large party for teenage girls and it was a huge hit. The service was wonderful and attentive and the food was great. Highly recommended and much appreciated.“

“We had a really nice dinner here and enjoyed everything we ordered. The branzino, short ribs, NY strip, and half chicken were all cooked perfectly. Portions were a nice size too, filling without being excessive.
Service was excellent. Our server was warm, attentive, and helpful with the menu. We finished with the pistachio baklava, which was fresh, delicious, and not overly sweet.
A great find in Ridgewood and a place we’d happily return to!“

“The wonderful and elegant,healthy foods served are made with fresh , vegetables .
The menu is fine. There is a lovely garden which you view while dining there, decorated with original paintings by local artists. The service is excellent.“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“A wonderful high-class restaurant with a sophisticated ambiance. The food earns a solid 4-star rating for its taste, offering fair prices for the quality provided. Their crafted beer is exceptional, boasting a great taste that complements the dining experience perfectly.“

“Sometimes what you want is a sandwich. But not just any sandwich. A freakin' large sandwich that will keep you from wanting another sandwich. Side order? Shut your lying pie hole. The sandwich has the side order on it already! Sauces? Got 'em. Sweet, tangy, spicy, whatever your tender heart desires. Shakes too. And those side orders? Yeah, you can get those, I was just kidding. And the best part is, they're delicious. Stop reading this and go get one, ya knucklehead.“

“We are at The Burger Loft on a Friday night. it was very busy, but the service was good and the food was outstanding!“

“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.“

“First time their! Food was amazing. The short ribs melted in your mouth!. The arugula salad with hearts of palm and fresh cheese was delicious! The strawberry shortcake made in a tall glass was so creative and delicious! Can’t wait to go back! The service was excellent!“

“Slid in right before closing — not exactly the ideal way to walk into a wine bar. But the bartender welcomed us like we'd been regulars for years. That kind of warmth at the end of a long shift says a lot about a place.
The wine was excellent. Exactly what you want from a spot like this — well-curated, well-poured, no complaints.
Didn't get to try the food this time but it's already on the list for next visit. If the kitchen matches the hospitality, this place is going to be a regular stop.
Hidden gem energy. Can't wait to go back.“

“Stumbled upon this gem and haven't looked back, since before covid, during covid and to this day! My favorite pub, I recommend all, never disappoints! 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!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Beautiful presentation and menu has a lot of variety. Love their brunch and special events. Jackie makes everyone feel welcomed and like an old friend. Staff is extremely attentive and accommodating.“

“Went to Four Star Cafe last night and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and food!!“

“Never had a bad meal here and have visited Otto's since they opened. Enjoying the Chinese pop up tonight !“

“I have had many food sensitivities and they were wonderful to accommodate. The restaurant was lovely. The service was perfect and they were very fast to serve us. The restaurant was busy with a party outside, but they attended to us in a super way. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. It was just very very cold inside will return again we had salmon and the chicken and bananas Foster for dessert as well as sour sop sorbet which was amazing. Homemade“

“We haven't been in a couple of years. We had our daughter's wedding at the Hilton in 2022 and the food was always excellent. We especially remember one of their signature dishes , the short ribs. I don't know if it was a bad night, they changed the recipe or changed the chef, but it was nothing like we remembered. Too bad, very disappointing.“

“ordered a burrito and it was bigger than i expected. it was packed with flavorful ingredients, wrapped well, and stayed together until the last bite. really filling without feeling too heavy, and everything tasted fresh. definitely a solid choice when you're looking for a satisfying meal.“

“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.“

“Love this place! They have an entire vegan menu with at least ten vegan options. They have both Beyond and Impossible products, as well as a fabulous black bean burger and falafel wrap. Lots of vegan sides, too! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-26“

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

“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.“
