“White maple isn’t just a restaurant. It is an experience that you do not want to miss out on. The food is extraordinary and extremely delicious and the service is even better. Everybody is very kind, understanding, and always ready to help if needed. If you haven’t gone to white maple, then you don’t know the true meaning of a good dining experience.“

“What can I say???? Simply put “Amazing Yummy”!!! I came with my husband for the first time and we left super impressed. While the restaurant is small it is absolutely devine! The food is so good. We had the Mozzarella and Shrimp for appetizers both really good. The best part and what I always look for is freshness and food that is seasoned and this Chef delivered. My husband’s steak was delicious as well- it is not often that my husband says “uhmm so delicious “ when eating. He cooks and tends to be very hard to please, therefore; compliments to che chef!!!

We had been looking for our next regular place since moving to town and we just found it. We will be back very soon.

Our waiters were so nice and polite and knew the menu.

The chef was nice enough to make a couple of modifications to my dish which I am so grateful for 💕

Thank you for cooking with so much passion and flavor and excellent service.“

“Wonderful food and amazing hometown warmth!“

“We have been shopping here as our main grocery store pretty much since it opened. While it is a smaller Whole Foods, it tends to have a good stock of a good variety of items, both fresh and packaged. It is generally clean (with one exception, see below) and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an Amazon Locker here, so you can get your Amazon packages delivered to this locker, do your shopping, and then pick up your package all in one trip. There are a two issues I very much wish they would fix. For one thing, the restrooms are consistently not clean. This is a suburban store and doesn't get the volume of customers that an NYC store gets, but they don't seem to be able to keep the restrooms in good order. My other issue has to do with what they choose to stock in a couple of categories. The first is orange juice. I always look for organic orange juice not in a clear container (so as not to compromise Vitamin C). I just want organic orange juice in an opaque container the way it comes -- not pulp-free, not extra-pulp, not with Vitamin D added, etc. They never stock this. My other stocking issue has to do with ice cream. They have all kinds of interesting flavors, several kinds of dairy-free options, etc. but I just want a pint of premium, organic vanilla ice cream, straight up. This can sometimes be found but often they don't have it on the shelf even though they carry all kinds of great brands that would offer it. If only this store remedied these two issues, they'd be five stars for sure!“

“Came as a party of 3, ordered calamari as appetizer, it was one of the best we ever had. Then we ordered stake and buttermilk chicken. Both were amazing, the chicken portion was huge. Only slight negative, chicken only comes with coleslaw, so for some might need additional garnish, but the stake came with so much fries, it wasn't an issue. Also ordered the ricotta donuts, OMG, they were delicious. Special thanks to our waitress.“

“Consistently spectacular. What an amazingly creative chef, consistently incredible service and the host make sure every detail is taken care of flawlessly

We are regulars and love how the menu changes and new exciting specials show up all the time. Everything is amazing but we do have favorites in particular The Crepe appetizers and the Jagerschnitzel and whatever duck creation they do. If you haven't come here yet I don't know what you're waiting for“

“Food is great. Great beer selection“

“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“

“The food is incredible everytime I am in town all I want to do is go eat there“

“We have been going to Felinas since 2019. Chef Joe, Frank, and the entire staff make us feel like family. We have many personal and professional occasions celebrated there and will continue to do so. Thank you, Felina Ridgewood“

“Good ambiance good food great service , shout out to Alex the bartender always with a smile“

“A Ridgewood classic! Great beer selection, great bar food. Our group has been there for several happy hour events. Always live music. The tent makes outside dining great year round. Drinks with freinds or burgers with the family, you gotta go!“
