“Here celebrating 🥳 family birthday my first time coming & I will be back 👌🏿“

“Went there on a Friday night. It took a little while for us to be seated. But once we got seated, our waiter was very attentive and courteous. The food was great and so were the drinks. We had lobster spaghetti and shrimp & crab ravioli. For the drink, i had the gold digger cocktail. It's a lychee martini, ifykyk. The DJ was a vibe. They played afrobeat, R&B/hip-hop, reggae, and Spanish music. It's very loud in there, not a place for convo, but more for turning up. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Outstanding service!! And the food was 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.“

“The squash soup was so delicious! Drinks and dinner were yummy, the service was great“

“My partner and I love ordering from here. We live in the neighborhood and it’s so convenient to have a place like this we can walk to for something delicious at a great price. I don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything off their menu; their pizza is the perfect Jersey pizza, their burritos are huge and taste SO fresh, and their cheeseburgers are like In N Out but WAY better quality. They also have desserts and the chocolate cake I tried was great. Love Aileen’s “

“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.“

“This is the third time we have returned to Saint Eves since the new owner has taken over. The quality of the food is greatly improved. It seems to get better every time we go. We were with guests this time and they just love their food. We were not rushed. We were welcomed the whole evening was a pleasure. I recommend this for a date night or special occasion.“

“We recently hosted a birthday luncheon for my mom on the back patio. The space was private and beautiful, the food was very good, the servers were attentive and we didn’t feel rushed. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Highly recommend Gus’ Last Word. This neighborhood establishment is cozy and chic at the same time. It is a perfect balance of retro and modern vibes. I was comforted by yummy chicken pot pie and unique cocktails. It has a lovely bar, with lounge areas, dining section and outdoor space. Shout out to the chefs, Christian the bartender and delightful Erin who provided great welcome, informed explanations of beverages and food, and great service. I will be back.“

“Featured on Binging with Babish. This is an excellent breakfast burrito, we tried both the bacon and chorizo burritos. I slightly preferred the chorizo - hints of lime, big chunks of avocado. This is a hefty meal at a very good price. Excellent service, kind and friendly staff, and perfect to take to the park“

“Checked this place out 9/19 for dinner and WOW! Edward at the front counter kept me entertained with good conversation as my food was prepared and once I got home I was satisfied not only with the portion of my meal but the flavors and the freshness of everything - SO GOOD. I’ll be back frequently to explore their diverse menu, they have vegan and veggie friendly diet menu items as well. Well earned 5 stars“

“A Hidden Gem in Hawthorne F1rst, a cozy BYOB nestled in Hawthorne, NJ, is a delightful surprise. The unassuming exterior belies the culinary excellence within. Our recent dinner with neighbors was a testament to the restaurant's charm. The star of the show was undoubtedly the pork chop. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The bolognese, rich and hearty, was another standout dish. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was simply divine. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience…including the occasional lovely Maitre D! While the restaurant's ambiance is modest, the quality of the food and the warm hospitality make it a truly special place. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience in Hawthorne, f1rst is a must-try.“

“Fantastic food great atmosphere“

“My friends and I went to the restaurant on a Wednesday rainy day I had the cinnamon raisin french toast with chicken and the fried shrimp it was very good the french toast is amazing. We also had the bottom less mimosas when I tell you they never let the glass hit the bottom. The service was excellent very positive and comfortable environment we sat for a while. we ate talked and danced and the staff continued to accommodate us beyond our reservation time limit. I will definitely visit Chocolat' again when in New York“

“Loving the quiet and relaxing environment. They never let me down when it comes such a great and exotic dinner and brunch menu . I always go on causal meetings , gatherings and more . Serves are very friendly and attentive. Thank you guys for such a great service.“

“love this best kept secret“

“Love this spot. The staff and crew? Super chill and genuinely friendly. Food hits every time and it's comforting and flavorful with no misses. The drinks are always on point. Perfect place for catching up over brunch with fam or friends you haven't seen in forever. Definitely a gem and highly recommend (but let's keep it our little secret 😂💕).“

“We had such a great time, and while the food was good, it was the service that truly made the experience. Sara was absolutely amazing, so lively, friendly, and attentive. She anticipated our every need and made us feel completely taken care of. I’ve never experienced service quite like that!“

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“Lovely food. A beautiful Steinway B piano (and stunning pianist Lex Korten on Oct.8, 2023) Make sure if you are a party of 4 or 6 that you can get 2 or 3 tables together in the 3 main long lines of tables, No good option for party of 5. No refunds for persons who cannot make the show, for any reason only a future credit. Even with ear plugs I found the amplification disheartening for such an intimate space, and we were as far from the stage as we could get.“

“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..“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visited several times with different friends and always had the same wonderful results. All our friends loved the food and been surprised to find such delightful meals in such a little out of the way restaurant. Many of our friends have gone back on their own“

“The ribs were DELICIOUS, probably the best ribs I have ever had! I loved everything about Avo's Grill. The service, food, and drinks were 5 out of 5! Avo goes above and beyond to make the best-looking, tasting drinks ever! I will definitely be back!“

“Honestly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Not only were the ingredients fresh, but the preparation was nothing short of perfect. Great atmosphere & vibe. Will definitely be returning very soon.“

“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.“

“I just celebrated a birthday and the food was delicious and bon appetit. We were delighted with sautéed spinach, salmon; Pork chop dinner and black spaghetti dinner. The waiter was superb along with his sense of humor.“

“Excellent atmosphere. Comfy seating, bar seats, or small tables, there’s a spot for anyone. The craft control menu was great, hard to choose which one to try. Extensive list of wines and spirits as well. Gonna have to try some food next time I come visit the city.“

“Update: Unfortunately I have to deduct a star because I ordered the cilantro marinated chicken breast with angel hair and the chicken was hard and dry and the pasta was mushy and completely bland and unseasoned.

My first time ordering from here and the food was really good. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was so good that I ordered dinner from there that same night. Both arrived hot and fresh. The only thing is that I thought the chicken sandwich came with salad (as pictured) but it came with fries. Either way everything was really good. They also have one of the best chai lattes I’ve tried in the city.“

“So much loved served at this wholesome,friendly restaurant. Warm and delicious food and service!!!“

“We had an amazing time at City Perch! Atmosphere is so nice! The owner himself came over and gave us two appetizers. He said it was his appreciation for us being teachers !“

“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!!“
