New American Restaurants near Montvale, NJ

“The last ten minutes of our time here really brought the experience down from a 5 star review. The staff was all very nice and doing their best on a busy Saturday night and food was great, but towards the end of the dinner our waitress was nowhere to be found. I understand the delay coming from a serving background, but it was exceeding 15 minutes from the time we ordered coffees until they were brought over to the table. The desserts showed up very promptly and were delicous, but the coffees didn't come out until after the desserts were eaten. On top of that, the esspresso that I ordered was not the best as it was very thick and undrinkable. I would go back but steer away from certain items.“

“Food has definitely gotten better. We had the Calabrian clams, duck leg, white bolognese, grilled prawns and blood orange cheesecake. Everything was wonderful and fresh, could be better with some minor tweaks. The clams should be served with some bread to soak up that delicious sauce. The prawns would have been much better if it was left whole with shell and head on, it was slightly over cooked. All in all, a fantastic meal!!“

“Always a steady goto in our restaurant rotation. Seasons 52 in Paramus never disappoints. Their Pork Chop is one of my favorite entrees along with the Filet Mignon and Lobster, you can't go wrong with the flatbreads, tuna tartare, golden beet salad, and Maui Tuna Crunch Salad. Something for everybody. Cartier and the rest of the crew that works the bar are great, and always welcome us back when visit.“

“I was so excited to see that the Village Green was opening for lunch in January. I knew just where to take my special friend Janet for an important birthday! What a treat! Delicious, beautifully presented food with a novel twist! The service was absolutely superb. Definitely go there for lunch!“

“Outstanding! I'm usually skeptical about going out on holidays even to my favorite restaurants. That said, I love AS (and Charlie's Place) and Danny and his team really knocked it out of the park on Valentine's Day! I felt like Danny invited us into his home. The food and service were perfect for every course.“

“For a chain restaurant, the food and vibes here are both definitely very good. I’d say the food is above average regarding what you’d expect to get at a chain restaurant. If you’ve never been to this location or a Yard House in general i recommend visiting one.“

“Had dinner here this weekend for a nice night out. Food was beyond amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable about their dishes and specials. We ended up with Tuna Tartar, Stuffed Figs wrapped in bacon with salad, and Asparagus with roasted red pepper puree topped with prosciutto for an appetizer. I had a veal chop that was out of this world, my fiancée had seared duck breast, and we finished it off with a slice of delicious carrot cake and decaf cappuccinos. Everything was absolutely incredible, couldn't recommend it more for a nice night out!“

“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.“

“I come from Pennsylvania an hour and 40 mins away just to get some cars! Lol. I love love loveeeeee the wraps with chicken, Philly steak, mozzarella cheese sticks, French fries with cheese sauce is to die for!! Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Delicious!“

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..“

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.“

“Bareburger is one of the best places to eat out if you have Celiac, especially this location! The staff is always super friendly and accommodating, especially Kylie, who is a lovely server. I love their gluten free chicken tenders and the fact that their French fries have their own fryer! You also can't go wrong with their Classic Chix sandwich, which I substitute with grilled chicken and either a lettuce wrap or gluten free bun depending on my mood. They also have yummy ice cream and drinks! I highly recommend Bareburger because of their fresh, allergy-safe food and caring staff!“

“Great food and atmosphere. wonderful staff.“

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!

“We ate there today and there was a slight snag with my dish. Our waiter (Dan) was quick to make it right and we had a great time!“

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

“The food tastes delicious. I think if the place is called Gyro it is reasonable that they cut the meat from the gyro in front of you. However that is not the case the gyro meat is in a container just like in a cart in the city. And to be 100% honest, considering that I paid over $15 for a platter with a Coke and it is served in a plastic Tupperware with plastic fork, at the very least the portions should be bigger. It is not the case, not a lot of rice, not a lot of meat, not a lot of salad. I think I would go more often otherwise.
However the taste is there and it tastes pretty good.“

“Coolest bar in the area, the regulars are some of the best“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏼🤟🏽☮️🇺🇲🗽“

“Good Food and service with a view from the 12th floor. Eddy and his staff will take great care of you. I always eat here when I stay at the Crown Plaza“

“Great waitstaff and management! We’ve driven past here so many times and Stern & Bow is always packed! Food is 6+ stars!“

“What can I say???? Simply put “Amazing Yummy”!!! I came with my husband for the first time and we left super impressed. While the restaurant is small it is absolutely devine! The food is so good. We had the Mozzarella and Shrimp for appetizers both really good. The best part and what I always look for is freshness and food that is seasoned and this Chef delivered. My husband’s steak was delicious as well- it is not often that my husband says “uhmm so delicious “ when eating. He cooks and tends to be very hard to please, therefore; compliments to che chef!!!

We had been looking for our next regular place since moving to town and we just found it. We will be back very soon.

Our waiters were so nice and polite and knew the menu.

The chef was nice enough to make a couple of modifications to my dish which I am so grateful for 💕

Thank you for cooking with so much passion and flavor and excellent service.“

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