“I have been going to Sonoma almost weekly for over a year now. It started off with taco Thursdays and their delicious margarita specials and has now turned into exploring every menu item possible. I am consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. Incredibly delicious every single time. I am gluten intolerant which can pose challenges. The kitchen and staff have been amazing In accommodating my food allergy. I highly recommend Sonoma on any day of the week. It very quickly became my favorite go-to restaurants.“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“Today we had the pleasure of dining at Blue 42 Restaurant and Bar, located at 158 Market St, Elmwood Park, NJ, and I must say it was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The security staff were particularly friendly and helpful, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe throughout our visit.
While our order did take a little longer to arrive than expected, it was truly worth the wait. Each dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It’s clear that the chefs at Blue 42 take pride in their culinary creations.
We ended up spending a total of $78, including tips, and I felt that the quality of the food and the overall dining experience justified every penny. The combination of great service and delicious meals makes Blue 42 a restaurant I would happily recommend to others.
If you're in the area and looking for a place to enjoy a meal, I highly encourage you to check out Blue 42. You won’t be disappointed!“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“just fantastic food and service“

“I was renovating my house over the summer and my kitchen was out of commission for four months. We ate lunch here practically the entire time. I NEVER had a bad dish! The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always one of places to hit when I am back in North Jersey“

“A great Korean fusion bar in the neighborhood that's passionate about good food!
I had a buddy over from Michigan who did not mind the snow, so with wife, we went to eat through snow BLIZZARD to JJ Dak Sunday evening as they were open. Inside was chic and cozy as I expected, and we were led to a rather smallish dining room on the side of first floor. Center area was for the bar. I've wanted to try JJ Dak for a while now, so we ordered up w/ pleasant server who explained the menu for us.
I. ATMOSPHERE (4/5) - Great vibe! Dimly lit with thoughtful biergarten style decorations galore, it felt warm, cozy yet stylish. Good for dates & drinks with buddies.
II. FOOD (4/5)
Squid Fries ($14, APP, 5/5) - Hands down the best food of the visit. Fresh squid w/ full flavor in light seasoned batter with mouthwatering ponzu mayo dip. Say whaaat? Wonderful with beer. We wanted to order one more if not for entree coming!
Fried Oysters ($??, APP, 3/5) - It was a special item, but unfortunately this was nothing special. Shouldn't have ordered, as it was prob to get rid of fresh oysters getting old (not on the menu). It wasn't like not fresh or anything but taste was just okay.
Nuroongji Dak ($45, ENTREE, 4/5) - This famous dish didn't disappoint! They lit it on fire for a show & added flame taste, and the dish was sizzling hot. Flavor was pretty good, though some parts of chicken wasn't seasoned through. But they give you 3 dipping sauces (honey mustard was my favorite!) for that so that's OK. This dish really felt like a treasure hunt for the 3 of us as we kept poking around and finding different ingredients. I wished that there was still a unifying sauce of some kind as meat felt a bit dry at times and variety of ingredients kinda floating on their own a bit. Maybe a splash of soya-butter? Nonetheless, this was really enjoyable to eat - we loved the cauliflower and the burnt rice (which we diligently scraped off the pan) on the bottom.
III. SERVICE (5/5) - Very attentive, on a Sunday evening blizzard night! Later they did get busy (it's like we brought the town here cuz adventurous and half-crazy people kept showing up in pairs through the blizzard to eat in. Was a bit funny)

I'm a fan of this place - especially for a drink w/ buddies I can't think of a more deserving place to go to in town atm than JJ Dak! I'll be back to try many other interesting menu items in the near future!

Parking: Free lot is tiny. Street parking galore but paid. Nearby mall parking (of other businesses) but they may ticket you during busy hours.“

“Such a fantastic place to see live entertainment. The staff is always on point getting the drinks over the bar no matter how crowded the venue is. The food is fantastic and management treat you like family. 👊💥🏴‍☠️“

“Stopped by for a light lunch on Thur around 12:30 pm. American Dream website is showing free validated parking when dining during weekdays 12-2 pm at listed restaurants, but when we asked, the server had to get a manager to validate it. David, the manager was being very nice about it. The restaurant’s website shows they have option for an Express Lunch menu, which has limited selection of items but of a better value than the all day menu. The maitre’d didn’t include the lunch menu until we requested it. Food came quick and everything was delicious. The corn bread came with sprinkles of wht looked like sea salt, and the honeyed butter & berries jam that accompanied the corn bread were soooo delish! Brussel sprouts were roasted to a crispy perfection, and drizzle of hot honey and pickled onions on it were just awesome. Truffle fries was fried perfectly crisp and hot, always a comfort munch. We chose brown sugar sauce for the wings, again the wings were fried to a perfect crisp. Some people might prefer their wings juicier like how they do in many other wing places, but i prefer my wings crispy, so this was very much to my liking. We ended up dipping the fries in the wing sauce coz it’s that good! Sweet with a mild tang and kick.. just yummy! The house made blue cheese dip was so thick and decadent, i could eat it with a spoon. Overall for the lunch menu, i’d say it’s a very good value. Might come back to try their entrees next time. Ambiance is fine, brightly lit and server is attentive. He asked if we’d like some water in addition to our drink order and left an entire bottle of ice cold water for our table, which I really appreciate. Wobbly table is a thing though, i read about it on the other reviews and our table was wobbly too, although the server said the previous table we were seated at had an even wobblier table, and ours wasnt as bad. I find it hillarious that they knew abt the wobbly tables and it’s still not fixed? Can’t even squeeze something underneath the table feet to stop the wobble? ? It’s certainly not a deal breaker issue. All Nighter mocktail was refreshing. Good experience all around.

Parking: Parking lot A would be closest to where the restaurant is. Check the mall website for any free parking promotion that have restaurants or businesses validate your parking ticket.

Kid-friendliness: They do have kids menu option.“

“I love this place. Great prices and you wouldn’t think so but the food is always delicious. I recommend anything on the special menu. The cook brings it out himself and clearly cares about your experience. I’ll always come back and recommend here.“

“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!“

“Great place to go for a night out! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming! The bands are great! The owners are great people! Would definitely recommend to anyone! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food. Great fun . b established local restaurant in Fairlawn“

“Food was great drinks also service on point“

“We went on a football Sunday afternoon. It was crowded, but there was seating. Nicole was incredible, quickly serving us, getting our orders, making recommendations and providing excellent service. They had fantastic beer and drinks specials, and they have specials during the week as well. The food is American bar food and was great value for the price. Thoroughly had a great time catching up with friends over a couple pitchers of beer, wings and apps.“

“Murtys never disappoints. Happy hr, late night, solo or with friends the bar is great“

“Very nice staff and great food and drinks!“

“great food and comfortable atmosphere“

“her her her .her mother's pizza ifykyk“

“HEY, this is from all your street neighbors around you. we all love your food and we would appreciate it if you could PLEASE lower the music decimals that are required by law after 10 pm. We understand you have a business to run but the music is WAY too loud to be playing up until 2:30 in the morning. Some nights it seems IMPOSSIBLE to sleep by how loud the music is. Not to mention Subwoofer speakers in that small space is absolutely NOT needed.Please turn it down.“

“They serve the best tasting Filipino food I have tasted. My husband and I compared them to 4 other Filipino restaurants. We brought my mother and father-in-law here 3/17 and they APPROVE! She is kapampangan so she cooks very well! Their food here taste like her cooking. We highly recommend crispy pata, Kare-kare, bulalo, pakbet, pancit bihon and egg rolls! Been here 3x (January, Feb and March 2024).“

“It is a place where one can learn to listen to music from different countries, while also entertaining oneself by playing pool billiards. And of course enjoying a variety of liquors. Having the opportunity to deal with women and men and get to know different cultures.“

“Sorry people have the IQ of an IKEA doormat. Bartender was doing her job. It’s close. They legally have to kick everyone else. And everyone with a brain who’s parents didn’t feed them paint chips for breakfast knows the people likely still left in the bar are staff, boyfriends or girlfriends of the bartender or regulars…You are not entitled to stay at a bar after close because your parents failed you as an adult and didn’t teach you to bring a coat in the winter. Grow up. They have a right to refuse service and a right to kick you out. Legally.And bartender if you are reading this and you lose your job for whatever reason. I have the tik toks screen recorded so you can use them for a lawsuit later on with the Karens personal information. You did nothing wrong and I’m sorry you are being targeted by Karen’s. You deserve compensation for being slandered.I’m over food and bev Karens. It’s even worse that miss Ashley claims to be a bartender and should know better.Sorry the bar is having to deal with this“

“Great staff good food and the live entertainment was awsome!“

“Very fun place, food was great & the drinks were awesome! Plus they have an outdoor area which was really cool...

Parking: The parking was horrible, during the day you have to try & find a spot & pay meter but after 6pm you still have to find parking but you don't have to pay meter.“

“I've done meal plans for years, I've tried almost every major recognizable meal plan service. Paid nearly $100/week for 4-5 meals everywhere, and quality to price ratio, maybe 7/10. The 5-meal plan from MMG here in Clifton (have ordered for over 6mos), the quality is consistent, the options are fantastic, and the taste is so good, makes you think you're having a cheat meal. Oh and you are paying under $10/meal. Kinda can't be beat. Nowhere is perfect, can't speak to the other negative reviews, but this place has my commit and hard recommendation.“

“Dope spot good food and drinks but went to watch sports a couple times and was a little disappointed. Big TVs at the bar but the went for size and not quality. That Walmart special was kind of hard to watch. Didn’t help that they have it set to Cool (blue) so it goes with the blue lit décor of the bar, but definitely come back for the DJ though.“

“Excellent spot for family and friends to meet and dine as well as viewing sports on TV“

“Great wings! In case that was not clear great wings. You can tell they are fresh not frozen, cooked perfectly. Hot and moist throughout, crispy skin and good blue cheese too nice and chunky. Other items are good too. Burgers done right, Quesadillas are spot on fried raviolis we’re good too. One really good point here is they make a good side of tater tots if you want those rather than fries. Had many other good food items. They also have a good selection of beers on tap with good local brews and some of the old cheapies as well.“
