Nice surprise in suburban NJ. Great wine list with some gems. Good BTG program. Food could be better.

Midway thru our dinner the music suddenly came on fairly loudly. Otherwise a very good experience.

great spot for taps and apps. I wish we were able to get the chicken tacos, which were not available, extensive top shelf Liquor available we will be back.

Very nice place, food was good but pretty sure a few items were frozen processed, not made fresh onsite. Drinks were good, a little expensive and saw charge for $6 soda that is pretty ridiculous.

Food and service were excellent. Tables were ridiculously close together. So close that I could hear the couple next to us who were clearly on their first date. Nobody wants to dine like this. I couldn't even get to my seat which out without knocking over things on the table next to us. Good thing no one was sitting on that side!Please consider spacing out the tables a little bit. Would not return only for this reason.

Love the vibe of Bar Boutique. Perfect place to hang out and get a delicious cocktail. Must come back to try the apps.

Jackie provided amazing service, the owner and other staff were very attentive, and the drinks and food were all creative and delicious! Thank you for helping make a bday celebration extra special.

So the place looks nice, but the service took a nose dive since our first visit... Tables so close together but hey, lets pretend we are in the city. The good: Cocktails well made. The not so good: The food left a lot to be desired. The dumplings were okay, pork quesadilla was good, the crab cakes were mostly shrimp, not just containing shrimp. Scroll down for our final dish where it went from a fair experience to a very poor experience. The service was lacking, timing was off, food came before drinks and almost instantly which means premade or microwave... The manager didn't care at all. The REALLY bad: One dish we ordered was the "Prime Filet Mignon Bites" We received a few ounces of overcooked beef, with the reduction and tomatoes and a pile of frozen & cold greenbeans... We informed our waiter who took the dish and said that he would remove from the bill which he did. No offer to properly cook the dish, no attention from the manager following that incident. Who serves burnt beef and frozen green beans? We did have 1 interaction from the manager who asked us to move our table to seat others. I asked if he had any feedback on the food quality when he walked away and told the waiting party they would have to wait for me to move... A little bit crazy in my opinion, not the glowing management that I read in responses from the owner. I did not place the table and he did not want to address the actual problem... I made eye contact with the waiting party and shifted for them to get in... This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Thankfully on the ride home we stopped elsewhere where we had great food and service.

The place is so beautiful and the staff always goes above and beyond. They know their worth, and it shows in the quality of their products. I'll always love this place.

Food was awesome Jackie the bartender was great. Definitely plan on coming back again soon !
The wine was good . The food was ok. The choices on the menu are very repetitive. the charcuterie plate looked messy when delivered to our table.

Of all the spots in our hometown of Ramsey, we gravitate most frequently to Bar Boutique. Their staff’s exceptional devotion to their tradecraft sets them apart than any other lounge, bar, or tavern in the area. Most notable are Jackie and Marvin, who are engaging, cordial and above all…skilled at mixology. Before meeting this duo I’d never fully understood the patron-barkeep relationship for all its benefits. We often spend the evenings sipping their delectable concoctions as we speak about our passions for artistic outlets such as photography, comedy, film, and motor sports. Now that I’ve been arriving early for their delicious cuisine, they really are the complete package. Newcomer,Bella, also shows great promise.Their devotion to mentoring recent hires coupled with her obvious proficiency for the service industry is quite apparent. Bravo, Andrew Matarese! You’ve clearly used your eye for talent to assemble a winning team.
Fabulous place for either a drink before dinner reservations or make a night of it as Bar Boutique has a wonderful light bites menu. Drink menu provides a great variety for all tastes with fun weekly seasonal cocktails. The best bartender in the area works here - Jackie is an extraordinary mixologist who you don't want to miss.

Really good experience…best old fashioned I’ve had in years…the small plates were really tasty..it’s on the expensive side yes, but you get what you pay for.
