Restaurants in Ridgewood

“Last night, my family and I visited the Roots Steakhouse, Ridgewood location to celebrate a special birthday occasion. We were greeted with impeccable service from our server, who catered to our needs flawlessly. The cuisine, as always, was simply delightful. While enjoying our meal, a small mishap occurred where a drink was accidentally spilled onto the floor, splashing onto my sports coat. The server promptly expressed sincere apologies and notified their supervisor. To our surprise, Larry, the general manager, personally approached our table to offer his sincere apologies and assistance. Despite my reassurances that accidents happen, Larry insisted on arranging for the dry cleaning of my coat and even offered to deliver it to my home. Although I declined his kind offer, Larry ensured that I could submit the dry cleaning bill for reimbursement. As we concluded our meal, we were pleasantly surprised when Larry sent over an assortment of complimentary desserts from the menu. His professionalism and genuine care during this incident were truly commendable. This review is not intended to critique the staff but to express heartfelt gratitude to Larry and his team for their exceptional handling of an unfortunate situation.”
“Love the duck. So juicy and flavorful.Tuna tartar is very fresh and full of flavor.Pork chop is great as well. But wishing the bread should served warm not cold”
“The food and service were excellent. Appetizers were great, including the Chicken Karaage (Bites) and Squid Skewer. Beef Gyoza was tasty as well. We had 3 different types of ramen, and all were delicious. The seafood ramen was good and hearty, and the pork broth was great. The pork cutlet was really good quality, meaty and soft. The service was very nice, helpful and friendly. Overall, a great experience and we'll definitely be back.”
“"I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a coffee shop, and I have to say, it's nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The staff here are true experts when it comes to coffee brewing, and it's evident in every sip.The coffee itself is hands down the best I've had in the state – rich, flavorful, and expertly crafted. But it's not just the coffee that's exceptional; the food here is also top-notch.Each dish is prepared with care and attention to detail, and it's clear that quality ingredients are a top priority.What sets this place apart even further is its unique environment. The cozy ambiance is perfect for lingering over a cup of coffee or catching up with friends. Plus, I love that they've fostered collaborations with other businesses, offering a diverse range of products to explore. From artisanal goods to beautiful plants for sale, there's something for everyone here.Overall, I can't recommend this coffee shop enough. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just looking for a cozy spot to relax, this place has it all. Trust me, once you experience it for yourself, you'll never want to go anywhere else."”
“I come here a lot with family and the staff know us. They are always super friendly and know that a person in our party has allergies. They always know my order too!Dietary restrictions: Nut and shellfish accommodations”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“A birthday destination for sure. The food is excellent and "from scratch "! The service was attentive and all of the staff friendly and knowledgeable. It is a small business so the feeling is very intimate. Their Nutella pie is absolutely delicious and unlike any dessert I have ever had. Even though I am not a Nutella affectionata it has a flavor beyond compare.”
“Service - 3.5 wasn't very tentative Atmosphere - 3.5 way too loud Food - 4.5 i tried $60 omakase ku and it was excellent. I've been to really expensive omakase places and this was pretty up there. My husband had "trust me" and it just looked like regular sashimi. Their sushi was pretty decent. I would definitely come back for omakase. Byob!”
“This is the best sushi I've had in a long time. You can't beat the value- their special rolls are huge for a great price.I love the sexy on the beach roll.The ambiance and service are casual.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“The food was delicious and very authentic with great sauces. We had the escargot, crabmeat in pastry, crispy duck, and beef Wellington, all were excellent. The owner, Michael, came over and spoke to us for a while, something we appreciated. Noise volume was low, making dinner more enjoyable. Will definitely return.”

“This is the best fried chicken ever. Delievery is so fast food is SO GOOD. I dream about this chicken, I’m so serious right now. You have to eat the garlic soy wings it will change your LIFE.”
“Lovely Bakery Cafe with a classic, relaxed ambience and old world charm. Came late afternoon on Presidents Day and there were lots of customers but also plentiful seats available. The croissant lived up to its reputation! It was large, crumbly and flaky on the outside and very affordably priced. Cashier was very friendly too! She offered to heat up our croissant and brought it out to us on a plate. This place is definitely worth a visit!”
“Absolutely delicious ice cream! Great service and fair prices for such a high quality product. This place is the real deal.Kid-friendliness: The man behind the counter gave my little girl a glow stick and a temporary tattoo and served us with smiles. We really appreciate Ice Cream places that cater to the kids!”

“The best of the best. Everything on the menu is fantastic, but I’ve never been able to find a comparable chicken koobideh (ground chicken kebab.) It’s juicy, spiced beautifully, and absolutely delicious.My wife and I make an hour and fifteen minute drive whenever we can to partake, and you better believe we place an extra order to go for lunch the next day. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some delectable Persian cuisine!”
“Wonderful family dinner at WorldFlats on Ridgewood Ave in Ridgewood. The food is absolutely delicious and incredible customer service. We’ll be back soon & Highly Recommended.”
“I love this place!!!! The food is incredible although I think it could very well be a restaurant with table service and not a walk-in place. I particularly go from Jersey City and it is frustrating sometimes not being able to sit down to eat because there is someone just having a coffee and using the space as coworking. Which has happened to me on several occasions. Then the restaurant loses the opportunity for much higher consumption.”

“Food was sooooo good but the service was quite slow. Husband and wife alone working. Took a long time for food to come out even dessert. We chatted with the workers and they were so friendly we felt at home and very welcome. They’re moving to a new place in Ridgewood. All the food was so delicious. I ordered the lamb gyro but got the lamb shawarma. I’m not even mad because it was so good. We got every dessert except the cream baklava. Very good as well.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian optionsParking: Lot for shopping center but very hard to find an open spot”
“Food, portion, presentation incredible!!! I felt like my mama cooked up some dinner. Will continue to order from here, thank you for your service!! Love you <3”
“Super tasty Indian food with the high quality protein and flavorful curry. Was picking up takeout and they treated me to a mango lassi while I waited. The service is always incredible and they are super warm/friendly. Highly recommend!”
“We had our baby shower at La Lanterna in October 2023. Joanne, the owner, was more than helpful with all of the preparations from beginning to end. We felt like one of her family. The food, the atmosphere, the service, and the attention to detail made our day a memory to be cherished always.❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Angelo was a fantastic server. Great conversation, fast service, and very accommodating to dietary restrictions.Dietary restrictions: Very clear and accommodating to gluten allergy/intolerance”
“We were at Cravings Tapas for a live music performance by Gizem in early March when te restaurant was reserved for I’m guessing 80-100 diners. This bistro is full of warmth and hospitality was top level, starting with its owner Ms. Stani and her dedicated wait staff. The portions are as generous as the variety offered on the menu, ensuring that every diner leaves satisfied. But it wasn’t just about the food for us; we enjoyed Gizem’s live music which added another layer of charm to our experience. With performances ranging from French and Turkish melodies to English classics and even Persian and Indian songs, it was so much fun. Back to Craving Tapas: everything was delicious! And we tried over 15 different items from the menu at our table of four. Last but not the least is about the kitchen staff: kudos to its hard working crew and the chef for pushing out hundreds of tapas to dining room full to the brim without any delays. Not an easy feat. Very well done! See you soon. Oh and it’s BYOB.”
“Great local vibes here with a solid food and drink menu. Great service as well. Outdoor seating in the warmer months. My only knock is the noise. They have brick walls in the inside which don't absorb sound. It gets loud when crowded, which makes conversation a challenge. Something to consider if that's important you. Also, live music can be very loud. I wish they'd dial the volume down a tad on their speakers.”
“Cafe 37 is our place for celebrating special occasions. The food is consistently above average, and Felix always takes very good care of us. We have never gasmd a bad experience there in the 20+ years we have been going to Cafe 37.”
“I ordered from Delhi Accent via Uber Eats, and was absolutely blown away by the delicious meal. The Aloo Gobi Masala Dum was so very flavorful, and the texture of the naan was outstanding. Wish I lived closer so I could eat here regularly.”
“Ordered takeout for basil fried rice and the taste was pretty decent. Will definitely be back to try the curries. The workers seemed very nice. It’s right by the train station in the little corner so it’s definitely a hidden gem. I will say that parking may be limited because of commuting people parking in the lot. However around the area are plenty of paid parking spots.”
“Had an absolutely fabulous time at Felina. The live music, ambience, food, and service was terrific. I ordered the rigatoni al Ragu and it was delicious, light, and the sauce was amazing. Great portion size. The place was packed but we could still hear ourselves talk. I had great waiters and the purple passion mocktail was sweet and tangy. Overall, will be back! Thank you for the free cookies.”
“Definitely adding this spot to our date night rotation, the food was delicious and the service was so great! Had some wonderful dessert options, we had the tiramisu!”
“A Mediterranean gem right at Ridgewood. Amazing appetizers, great selections, hearty mains. Lamb shank is a must have. Also ask for Turkish tea after dinner as a healthy and digestive beverage. Will definitely visit again soon!”
“We’ve been here a few times. The food and the atmosphere is just unmatched. We thought the food was great and then we get the nutella calzone. We were mind blown!”

“Adorable little spot I found on an online search for bubble tea/boba spots around where I was traveling in the area and this came up as the highest rated! Absolutely delicious, made fresh, not too sweet, too heavy, too watered down or too anything - PERFECT! So tasty, adorable inside (I definitely wanna come back and chill inside or grab a tea and do some work on my laptop in there) and ultra friendly customer service! Very calm and relaxed! Plenty of seating as well! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back! PS you can order ahead on their website for pickup - seamless and easy!”
“I LOVED the ice cream here! And you have to get the waffle cone! Immediately upon stepping into the shop, you are hit with the smell of waffles, and the cones taste just as good they smell. I got the toasted coconut and cappuccino chocolate chip flavors, and both were delicious but my favorite was the toasted coconut. It was very unique and there were so many toasted coconut bits! The ice cream itself is rich and creamy. Definitely a key spot to go to in ridgewood”
“So happy to have finally found a GOOD Korean spot with authentic flavors in Bergen county. The service was really great here. The people are very friendly. The decor and ambiance was welcoming and place was pretty clean. We ordered veggie dumplings for app, crab meat bibimbap, bulgogi with vermicelli noodles lunch special and kalbi with vermicelli noodles lunch social. All dishes were really great. I highly recommend trying their bulgogi.”
“We picked Parisa East and went on Tuesday night. We had a great experience from the delicious food to excellent customer service. Will definitely come back over the weekend.”
“Good coffee, sometimes iffy service depending who is at the counter. Usually go there when in the area. Parking can sometimes be a problem. Sometimes they have goodies from Balthazar”
“This is our go to place for cookies, they are always warm, fresh, and delicious! The staff is incredible. Always friendly and ready to help. Suha was great when we stopped in. The confetti, s'mores, and cookies and cream are definitely worth a try!”
“Always love getting lunch from here. Got the spring smoothie and buffalo chicken wrap. Buffalo chicken wrap is always my go to here but Spring Smoothie was new try for me and I loved it. My husband got the parent trap and Thai crunch salad. I love how they give you the option of making a wrap or salad for all their food options it's so fun!”
“Been coming here since I was a kid and it's been my favorite place for Chinese food all these years. The quality of the food is fantastic and I think it's gotten better over time! Their sesame chicken was my favorite as a kid and since I became a pescatarian, their sesame tofu has become my favorite! They always managed to make their chicken so crisp and they do the same with their tofu! And the sesame sauce is my favorite I've had. Highly recommend!!!Kid-friendliness: As a kid I was in love with the decorations and art! Still love it as an adult”
“I always order by the app. The service is fast and the food is good. The coffee was a the best, I ordered lattes with oat milk and there is nothing to miss from regular milk. The flavor is amazing. Besides they are always busy in early hours. The food is warm and the service is fast. I recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: They offer milk alternatives for the coffee and there are some vegetarian alternatives too like cheese sandwiches, avocado toast, different kind of pastries and hash browns.”
“Wow, and that is pretty much all I have to say. First time stopping in with the family and friends after dinner at Park West Tavern (see my review for that dinner) This is a must stop to fulfill your sweet tooth obsession! Take it from me, a big guy who occasionally likes his sweets.”

“Delicious ramen! Friendly and fast service. Reasonable prices. Another ramen place gave me cabbage instead of noodles since I'm Gluten free. Tori ramen offers Gluten free noodles for no extra charge! This was our first time trying and we'll be back.Dietary restrictions: Offered gluten free noodles for no extra charge!”
“Simply one of the best delis in North Jersey. Do yourself a favor and try their potato salad, it rocks. Their roast beef is excellent as well. They make a hell of a sandwich and have for many years. I've been coming here since the 80s, and the quality never wavers.”
“I always order drinks from this place, the staff are very helpful and amazing! When we were waiting for our order, the girl asked our order number because they didn’t receive any online orders. Then I just realized I had made an order in another Starbucks, but the girl immediately worked on my drinks!!!! I really appreciate what they did for me.❤️?”
“Delicious and affordable! My boyfriend and I came here, we each ordered pho and split a pork chop over rice. The iced coffee w/condensed milk and the soda lemonade were also delicious.It was a cozy and comfortable place, the lady/owner is so sweet. $50 for everything after tip - can’t beat that. We will be back!”
“We placed a (free) delivery order and it was great. Italian hero just how we like it and on a super soft roll. But how are more people not talking about these wings? Naked wings, add as much or as little sauce as you want. Plus a side of REAL blue cheese. And reasonably priced! Now we just have to try the raved about pizzas.”
“Moved away from my childhood home in NJ many years ago. Recently returned for a Memorial service. Had to grab a quick bite for long drive home and only one place would be my choice - Renatos. Delicious, consistent, welcoming. Just brought back great memories of walking here every Saturday for a slice. Thanks Renatos! Made my drive home in the snow doable.”
“Recommending Best of Everything! Ordered the deluxe sandwich platter for a working lunch in our Ridgewood office. Frank made ordering simple, followed up, delivered on time and all my top execs were fed and happy! Thanks everyone at BOE for making my day a bit easier and less worry-some! ”
“Very pleased. Great food, great service, friendly atmosphere... Loved their homemade rice pudding, only my mother makes it better! Delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant.”
“The salad house offers a variety of seafood dishes and salads of all kinds. Service was great. We popped in to see the specials for the day. My daughter love shrimp, crabs and muscles. All seafood dishes I cannot have. The place was nice with a cool atmosphere. We will definitely check it out again.”
“Stumbled across this hidden gem and went for lunch. It is a very small intimate location, the food was great and the lunch special is 10$ which let's be honest we don't see too often anymore. I had the chicken and broccoli and my friend had general tsos, both were delicious and a fair portion. Will definitely be returning and looking forward to trying a new item!!”
“If you’re looking for a change of pace from the big chain burrito joints, I suggest you try Tito’s. Fresh tasting and expertly wrapped burritos were extremely flavorful. The chicken was outstanding and it was such a delight to experience truly fresh ingredients. All the ingredients complemented each other and not one dominated. Chips also tasted different, but in a good way. Salsa was smooth and authentic. Will definitely come back to try more of the menu.”
“Decent Starbucks. Interesting how many tweens and teens came in the 90min I was sitting there working, all with their Buxs app on their phone. Times have indeed changed... I can't ever remember hanging out at a Starbucks until I started working at the college. I couldn't help but wonder too... are they tied into moms account so she earns stars?! ? I hope so... those stars are like gold!! ?Parking: Directly across from the movie theater. Convenient if you want to drop the kids off at the movies and hang out.”
“We did our superbowl celebration at Brooklyn Pizza.Salad, fried ravioli & large pizza, no leftovers!!Our Server was such a kind young man and I admire his work ethic on a festive day.Atmosphere, as always was warm & welcoming.”
“I don’t understand some of these bad reviews. This is my favorite sandwich shop and I wish I could rate them more stars. Quality food and amazing service, the staff is always so friendly and does not deserve some of the bad reviews listed here. Yes it gets busy, but they are always very kind and respectful and the food is always amazing busy or not. 10/10 ??”
“We picked this spot off of a map before participating in a Pinot Pallete painting class up the street. Boy did we make the right call. It has private parking and ample seating. It is a family owned place for over a dozen years. The owner is present and super friendly. The decor is certainly "East Coast". The place is clean, the new soda machine is great and the food trumps it all. Delicious and fresh. The owner treated us to a little "flight" of Ice cream too! THANK YOU...TRY IT, it's award winning. Take the family, meet friends there. Great location great meal, we'll travel the 30+ minutes to see you again.”

Green Fusion
“We eat here frequently and either dine in or take out. On Easter, we did their Easter Brunch and it was absolutely amazing. All of the food choices were delicious and some were dishes we had not tried before. It was an all vegan buffet style brunch. Their menu is always all vegetarian and everything can be made vegan, and believe much of it can also be made GF. Everything always tastes fresh, flavorful, and even our non-vegan friends love this place. We love them so much, we are going to inquire about catering our wedding events!”
“I BBQ and smoke meats at home but don't always feel like doing a 12hr brisket cook. Saw this place nearby and figured to give it a try. The Korean fixings on top of traditional BBQ went great. Got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. Corn bread was really good too.Was expecting to order takeout but ended up sitting inside. They but had a decent amount of tables. It also had table service which was unexpected. Service was excellent and really appreciated the conversation and genuine help. Definitely will be going back.”

“For those of you who do not know me, I have been a waitress at Sakura Bana for over three and a half years. Normally, I do not really care about the negative reviews on here because most of the time they do not pertain to things I can control, but our most recent review from January 23rd is something I could not keep to myself.This review had some remarks about our price and quality of our food, which I cannot comment on. I have nothing to do with our pricing or the quality of our fish, so it is not my place to argue with a customer’s review. However, I was truly disgusted by the treatment of my good friend at the sushi bar.For those of you who come eat with us often, you are probably aware that one of our sushi chef’s is not Japanese. He is a very nice man who has been making sushi and serving it to customers longer than I have been alive. He is always efficient, fast, and kind to everyone around him. If any of us waiting staff forget to put an order in, he will make it within a few minutes at the highest of quality because he is just that good.This review referred to him as the “take-out chef” and said he was not a real sushi man. When the customer had asked me who makes the sushi, I had said this gentleman makes the sushi rolls and these gentleman (the Japanese sushi men during this night) made the sushi pieces. It was obvious with this customer’s tone that she was not interested in our sushi chef who made the sushi rolls this particular evening.In addition, when we continued to ask this customer if everything was okay or if she needed anything, it was very clear she did not want us to really talk to her. Our sushi chefs are attentive and kind to our sushi bar customers and all customers in general. We try to have conversation because as many of our reviews say, we try to keep this place a family friend, kind environment.I could see the sadness from my friend when he noticed the dissatisfaction of his sushi rolls that he made. I also noticed how upset he got when he understood that this woman was not going to give him a chance to prove himself. Her disgust for his sushi happened before he even had a chance to prove himself.I understand that sometimes customers just want to be left alone and enjoy their meals in a nice, peaceful manner, but after reading her review, I was truly disgusted to see my friend being treated as if he did not have the skill or the experience to serve customers sushi.I get that people have bad nights, and maybe this was one of them. I apologize if this woman feels as if we treated her differently because she was out by herself at our restaurant, that was never our intention. We always want everyone to feel welcomed and have a great experience.However, I do not care if my manager or anyone sees this and gets upset, I am not going to sit here and tolerate my friend being bashed and referred to as a fake sushi chef when he has been satisfying customers and making these delicious rolls for years. He has always been kind to customers, treated them like family, and always makes the experience for everyone there special. I do not appreciate him being referred to anything less than what he is by someone who did not even give him a chance. I truly do not tolerate any sort of disrespect to my sushi chefs the way he was disrespected tonight. The sushi chefs at Sakura Bana are friends to everyone, and the level of disrespect I witnessed tonight was horrific to say the least.To my friend, all your daughters and sons of Sakura Bana want you to know we see you as one of the bests. You always make sure we serve top notch food and really save us when we need to during busy nights when we forget some things or a customer needs something to go quickly. I hope when you read this, you know that we all love you and appreciate your hard work at Sakura Bana.”
“Definitely adding this spot to our date night rotation, the food was delicious and the service was so great! Had some wonderful dessert options, we had the tiramisu!”
“A Mediterranean gem right at Ridgewood. Amazing appetizers, great selections, hearty mains. Lamb shank is a must have. Also ask for Turkish tea after dinner as a healthy and digestive beverage. Will definitely visit again soon!”
“I am new to Persian Food. We plan to go to Parisa East. After reading the review, we learned about your place based on Omid's recommendations. We follow that and we really enjoy your food, your service and your food quality. (Read what Omid told Jim who reviewed his restaurant). Ambiance is average.”

“Outstanding food and courteous service. Pretty much a take-out only restaurant. The soup, dumplings and egg rolls are the best. Sherry is a wonderful and caring person.Parking: easy parking”

“We eat here frequently and either dine in or take out. On Easter, we did their Easter Brunch and it was absolutely amazing. All of the food choices were delicious and some were dishes we had not tried before. It was an all vegan buffet style brunch. Their menu is always all vegetarian and everything can be made vegan, and believe much of it can also be made GF. Everything always tastes fresh, flavorful, and even our non-vegan friends love this place. We love them so much, we are going to inquire about catering our wedding events!”
“Super tasty Indian food with the high quality protein and flavorful curry. Was picking up takeout and they treated me to a mango lassi while I waited. The service is always incredible and they are super warm/friendly. Highly recommend!”
“We placed a (free) delivery order and it was great. Italian hero just how we like it and on a super soft roll. But how are more people not talking about these wings? Naked wings, add as much or as little sauce as you want. Plus a side of REAL blue cheese. And reasonably priced! Now we just have to try the raved about pizzas.”
“I ordered the bacon, broccoli and cheddar omelette with home fries. It comes with a pancake of your choice I recommend the Hawaiian coconut pancake it is iconic ! This cafe is nice, tables are small for amount of things they place on it. Chocolate chip cornbread is also very yummy. Very nice for brunch.”
“I booked the Bistro for a Sprinkle Party for my daughter . I enjoyed working with the owner in planning the party . He was accommodating and listened to my requests. We had 23 quests. The 4 tables were handled with prompt and friendly service …. Everyone enjoyed their meal . Yes, I would book another party . I also have discovered a nice restaurant to have lunch and dinner at; with family and friends .”
“I came here earlier this week for dinner and it was nice. Had come in when there was just one other table and the waitress was kind. The place was nicely lit, a nice dim lighting perfect for a good sushi dinner with friends. I got a special roll with tuna and spicy salmon and it tasted very good and filling.”
“Best ice cream in NJ hands down! I sample ice cream all over wherever I travel — this spot is special. Mike, the owner, is here all the time and he labors over perfecting his flavors and his craft. He has all homemade soft serve — to die for — and amazing creative flavors and even premium toppings (luxardo cherries!). His fresh fruit flavors are bright and delectable, and his special flavors like carrot cake, TAB, and drunken cherry vanilla are beyond. I ONCE caught a raspberry chocolate and I’ve dreamt of having it again ever since!”
“First time here, so happy we stopped by! Great cafe offering homemade breakfast and lunchtime sandwiches with fresh bread, as well as smoothies. Very relaxing and cozy inside for sit down.”
“Went for dinner and drinks with a friend. Made a reservation and they were ready for us when we arrived. Prompt and friendly service. Sam is just superb he made clear understanding about the menu which I appreciated. Good menu options. We ordered an app, 3 entrees and drinks and received quickly. Hummus, Mast-O-Moosir and Panir-Sabzi was awesome! Chicken Sultani and Shrimp Kebob were authentic in every bite and a good portion. Baklava and other desserts were generous. Excellent experience! Thank you Sam !!”

“Had an absolutely fabulous time at Felina. The live music, ambience, food, and service was terrific. I ordered the rigatoni al Ragu and it was delicious, light, and the sauce was amazing. Great portion size. The place was packed but we could still hear ourselves talk. I had great waiters and the purple passion mocktail was sweet and tangy. Overall, will be back! Thank you for the free cookies.”
“First time there, sat a a table, very good overall. Fresh sushi, delicate pieces. One negative, the Spicy Shumi Sashimi Salad which was a bit too spicy and several fish morsels that were sinewy and should never have made it into a salad. Should've mentioned this to the server but didn't. Was hoping for a salad similar to the iconic Nobu Sashimi salad but sadly, no. Otherwise everything else was tasty, well prepared and served in a timely fashion. Not crazy about having to browse the menu on my phone and also would have been nice to have been prompted that its BYOB”
“This was my 2nd time @ Felina's & it is my new go to place to bring friends for brunch! An amazing restaurant with great food, drinks, ambience & live music. It is just perfect & offers something for everyone. Frank sets the tone & it is flawless. He went out of his way to please us. He is a natural & sincerely cares about the patrons! He has such a positive & impressive presence! He is the person who makes Felina's so very unique & special! Thank you so much!! Pat C”

“Great local vibes here with a solid food and drink menu. Great service as well. Outdoor seating in the warmer months. My only knock is the noise. They have brick walls in the inside which don't absorb sound. It gets loud when crowded, which makes conversation a challenge. Something to consider if that's important you. Also, live music can be very loud. I wish they'd dial the volume down a tad on their speakers.”
“Wow, and that is pretty much all I have to say. First time stopping in with the family and friends after dinner at Park West Tavern (see my review for that dinner) This is a must stop to fulfill your sweet tooth obsession! Take it from me, a big guy who occasionally likes his sweets.”
“Great customer service! I’m vegan and they created a breakfast burrito especially for me that’s not on the menu! I love their vegan chili but really wish they’d add more vegan ”
“Lovely Bakery Cafe with a classic, relaxed ambience and old world charm. Came late afternoon on Presidents Day and there were lots of customers but also plentiful seats available. The croissant lived up to its reputation! It was large, crumbly and flaky on the outside and very affordably priced. Cashier was very friendly too! She offered to heat up our croissant and brought it out to us on a plate. This place is definitely worth a visit!”

“My friend and I got the signature birria tacos and they were amazing! So flavorful and delicious. We ordered for pickup and they had it ready in a fast and timely matter. We will definitely be ordering from here again.”
“Delicious ramen! Friendly and fast service. Reasonable prices. Another ramen place gave me cabbage instead of noodles since I'm Gluten free. Tori ramen offers Gluten free noodles for no extra charge! This was our first time trying and we'll be back.Dietary restrictions: Offered gluten free noodles for no extra charge!”
“The salad house offers a variety of seafood dishes and salads of all kinds. Service was great. We popped in to see the specials for the day. My daughter love shrimp, crabs and muscles. All seafood dishes I cannot have. The place was nice with a cool atmosphere. We will definitely check it out again.”
“so good! they are also very fast with service!Wheelchair accessibility: open space, and you can move the chairs so anyone can sit at the table! they have all different heights for tables and the counter is just a little higher then a regular desk”
“The sushi here is incredible, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for sushi. The service is mostly quick to get the food out to you. My main issue is the customer service is not the best. They can come off rude at times but has recently gotten much better. The place is small and would be better if expanded.”
“The food was delicious and very authentic with great sauces. We had the escargot, crabmeat in pastry, crispy duck, and beef Wellington, all were excellent. The owner, Michael, came over and spoke to us for a while, something we appreciated. Noise volume was low, making dinner more enjoyable. Will definitely return.”
