New American Restaurants near Ridgefield, NJ

“I truly love Gotham City diner, the atmosphere mirrors the delicious food along with the great service from the time you enter the diner and the food prices is not putting a dent in your pockets.
I consider myself a Diner’head because I prefer a diner over a restaurant any day. GC Diner Waiter/Waitress have a special kind of “let me get to know u while your here service, so that customers can keep coming back to Gotham City diner”.

Kid-friendliness: I’ve taken my grandnephews who was 2 yrs old and 11mths old at the time, and I’ve taken my grandson who is 1 yrs old now. High chairs were available for them; which was a huge plus for me.The 2 yr old now 4 yrs old enjoyed coloring his placemat while waiting for our food and he noticed the mural with Batman; so know when he visits he asks can we go to the Batman diner?“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“food was excellent Raven our server was top rate even though we were there for RW everything and everyone was on top of their game“

“Phenomenal experience! The food was all delicious and the service superb. The General Manager is perhaps once of the nicest people we've ever met, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. We discussed how we had been so busy during our trip to the city that we didn't even have time to try NY pizza. During our tasting menu experience, an "off menu" item was brought to the table by the GM himself. Under the cloche was A PIECE OF PIZZA FROM HIS FAVORITE LOCAL SPOT. We will never forget this night and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a romantic, fine dining venue. We will be back!“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“The Best that i ever been“

“I took my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday, and I just want to say that it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in my eight years of being in New York City. I'm a huge fan of this place not just because of the food, but because of the people behind the plates: the staff is incredibly attentive and kind. Special shout outs to Ronald, Anthony, Harley, and Kalvin, for going above and beyond and making this evening special and one I'll remember for a long time!“

“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“✨ Absolutely incredible! ✨
Everyone works with so much care and attention, and the whole experience was truly wonderful for me. The flavors were perfectly balanced, fresh, and simply outstanding. You can really feel the passion behind everything they do here. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Muy buena cena, ambiente cool y buenas combinaciones. Por ser de un uruguayo mezclaría algo simbólico de allá en el menú, un guiño. Me gusto ir.“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“This is such a great place in the WV, honestly sometimes it feels so hard to find a place that isn’t geared to tourists or sort of a bland palette. This restaurant is way more chic and interesting that most of the restaurants in the area while also serving approachable food. This will be my new go-to when I have something to do in the neighborhood. Not to mention the service was really great and the vibe of the space is just right. I must say it sometimes is lame to order the bread and butter but it is really spectacular!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. No one needs to tell you that but what’s really cool is that my wife and I went and I’ve been drying out this September but still wanted an experience of trying a bunch of craft cocktails. They killed it. Every drink was so cool and I even bought one of the bottles (photo). It’s just super cool for a place this famous and established to still have a commitment to service so high they’ll cater to some clown who wants to explore off-menu, zero proof cocktails. Well done Blue Hill team, well done.“

“Great burger, slightly overpriced for what it was, but that's not surprising given the neighborhood location. A solid meal all around, wouldn't travel far out of way to visit. If you're in the area, definitely give it a shot.“

“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“Classy place, very friendly staff, starting with the nice hostess. Got a booth in the back. Ordered black label and regular burgers, bone marrow, French onion soup. Had a great server who told us fries were cooked with refined peanut oil since a guest had a peanut allergy. Refilled waters and drinks and checked on us a few times. Oysters are amazing, not a single bad one and no grit either, so shout out to the shuckers. One of my favorite places in the city, can’t wait to go back.“

“We had an exceptional dinner tonight. The food, the service and the ambiance all added up to a memorable evening. I want to especially highlight our server Francisco and the Manager Alex who went above and beyond to make us feel like old time regular guests. The icing on the cake was a hand written note to us congratulating our anniversary along with champagne and macaroons. I recommend everyone try this special place. We will be back.“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“Couldn't have picked a better place to dine in Midtown. The staff/management were welcoming from the start (our waiter in particular could not have been more personable and accommodating), the food and drinks were delicious, and to top it all off, they gave my daughter a surprise birthday celebration for the ages — complete with a robot to deliver the churros donned with sparklers and singing that engaged the whole restaurant! Thank you, Carla; we'll be back!“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“Stumbled upon this place while trying to find some Hungarian and Romanian food in NYC and we were very happy to have found Oti. The customer service was excellent, very friendly staff, a delicious food. We were a group of 3 and decided to basically order one of everything off the menu and a bottle of wine to share and wow it was all delicious. Good prices and delicious authentic flavors. Highly recommend this place, we will be back again, hopefully soon!“

“A chic and unique wine bar featuring chocolate pairing.
Don't let the name fool you - there's also quite a bit to eat here...

We actually came for a night cap - had the must-have chocolate martinis, hazelnut and raspberry, both were delicious.
We also had a cheese platter and a fondue eith fruit, marshmallows and rice crispies.

While the cocktails were stellar - the rest was rather forgettable.
But it does feel like the unique combination of chocolate and wine should be enjoyed here.

All in all, a very recommended place for the lovers of both wine and chocolate.“

“This Thi restaurant in Brooklyn was so delicious if you like Thi give this a go. Wednesday 40% off wine. It'scalled Lingo. The food was so exciting and balanced flavors! Their bold original menu reflects a deep love of flavors as well as an educated chef who pulls off their amazing flavors. Can't recommend enough!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“BEST MEAL I’ve had in my entire life! I don’t say that lightly because we’ve eaten in Michelin restaurants all over the world. I can honestly honestly say that was the most spectacular food I have ever had. The cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. I’d go here every night if I could!“

“How is it possible that I didn’t review 4747lic here before?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time I go there for weekend brunch, I have to return for dinner! I just can’t get enough of the place. Their Dutch baby “Primadonna” pancake and lobster roll are to die for. Much of what is on the menu it’s imported from Italy of the finest ingredients. It’s always fun to take the ferry across from Manhattan to the Pepsi Cola Sign and walk a couple of blocks. They can accommodate large groups, children, pets, wheelchairs, (you name it) at their outdoor seating. Run there. 😊💕“

“Love this place, good food and nice atmosphere. Always busy sometimes big line but it will be worth“

“An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Bar 56 – Brooklyn’s Hidden Gem

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Bar 56 in Brooklyn this evening, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of the DUMBO district, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, this spot is not just a restaurant – it’s a destination.

From the moment we walked in, we were enchanted by the stylish, warm and inviting atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed and creates a perfect setting to enjoy a leisurely and elevated meal with nice background music and perfect ambient lighting.

We opted for several small plates to share, including fresh oysters, a divine tuna tartare, and outstanding ravioli. As a side, the Brussels sprouts were simply exceptional. Every bite was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and executed with finesse. The food alone would have been enough to make this a memorable night.

The wine list is a standout feature: original and thoughtfully curated, allowing guests to choose based on flavor profiles rather than just region or grape. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio that complemented our dishes perfectly.

Our evening was made even more special thanks to the impeccable service. A huge thank you to Yajaira – warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Toward the end of the evening, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Quintin Demarre, a passionate French chef whose love for food and taste shines in every dish. His enthusiasm and dedication to his craft truly elevate the entire experience.

And we can’t forget the desserts (Pistache Crème Brûlée and Apricot Granita) – absolutely phenomenal. Rich, inventive, and beautifully presented. We ended with a nice glass of Royal Tokaji white (dessert) wine from Hungary. The perfect sweet ending to an already flawless meal.

Bar 56 is an absolute must-visit for anyone in New York City. It’s worth the short trip to Brooklyn just to experience this level of culinary excellence and genuine hospitality in a great upcoming area. Michelin-worthy in every sense. We’ll definitely be back – and we’ll be telling everyone we know to go.“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“Had a wonderful brunch today at Hudson Clearwater. The smoothie was outstanding. This is a quaint rustic spot and deserves all the love for their vegan friendly menu. I chose the blackened fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. The Cole slaw on the brioche bun, lightly covered with tarter sauce, made for a perfect sandwich. Their fries were delectable as well. Great service, and a great meal with my sweetheart.“

“Don’t sleep on this hidden gem. As inviting as a candlelit hush and nestled in an unexpected corner, Brooklyn’s Winona hums with quiet resonance—the perfect setting for whispered conversations, a slow-burning date night, or an intimate dinner with a dear friend.“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING. Accompanied by great for and drinks. The wait staff and hostess are Super Sweet.“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“Best food and awesome atmosphere! 🍷Most definitely one of the best Michelin restaurants ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

“five leaves was the first restaurant i visited on my first ever trip to nyc in 2017.
ever since then coming back here has become a tradition.
8 years on and the spot is still just as warm and welcoming, albeit way more busy which is incredible to see because the place deserves to thrive. easily my fav spot in the city (i fully blame the ricotta pancakes).
i haven’t been to nyc in years but coming back here today felt like coming home in so many ways.
thank you cody for taking such great care of me and thank you everyone at five leaves for even making a tourist feel like a part of the community. 🫶 (also pls restock those tote bags, the nation needs them!!)“

“Great location, friendly staff, stunning views.“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“One White Street delivered great food and excellent service Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. The award-winning chefs use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful. The restaurant also offers a wonderful drink menu, and they offer one of the best wines in the region. They get new menu every couple of months and make it more fun to try new dishes.“

“Fantastic Brunch! Wife and I have been to Essex many times for dinner and drinks at both locations but this was our first bunch at the new location and it didn't disappoint. They've definitely upped their brunch game with some creative shared plates like middle eastern flatbreads and Dutch Baby pancakes. Went with a large group and there was something for everyone. Decor was stunning and, given how crowded the restaurant was, the volume level of manageable. Highly recommend.“

“Wow, JG and JB did a fabulous job creating this restaurant. The front of of the house and the back are all working in sync.
Will was fabulous and our Sommelier was on top of his game.
We only wish we arrived earlier to see Chef Benno before he left.
This is a place to hit for top top top food, drinks and service.“

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“
