“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“

“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.“

“A wonderful high-class restaurant with a sophisticated ambiance. The food earns a solid 4-star rating for its taste, offering fair prices for the quality provided. Their crafted beer is exceptional, boasting a great taste that complements the dining experience perfectly.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“For a good night out with the girls, your own private room , you can sing as loud as you want! It's clean and updated. The host, he was very nice and gave us complimentary food. The drinks were strong and good. Will definitely return again. 감사합니다“

“I've always loved Dingbatz as a patron. My experiences there have always always been positive ones. The food (across the street at Dingos) is top notch and fairly priced and I've never had poor service at the bar. It ONLY loses one star because I have had many friends (and bands) who have Not had good experiences there, and sometimes that varies greatly depending on who is working the shift and what kind of mood they are in at the time. But I always try to encourage bands to play here - the stage is SMALL and there's no green room but unless you're a bunch of pretentious jerks, the staff WILL take care of you, and your fans will be grateful for the up close and more personal experience that you simply cannot get at big venues.“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“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!“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“Тне best local craft beer place. Always perfect beer selection“

“Fabulous! Never disappoints.“

“Was on our way to another bar, "late" last night (not even Midnight) after having been turned aside by the Marriott but then drove by Andy's Corner and immediately pulled a U-ey.This place is a gem. The bartender is swell and the vibe is laid-back friendly.You might think "Dive Bar" (in the best possible way) when walking up to the front door, but what you get when you open the door is a Classy Establishment.To the backyard party-goers of Bergen County--- leave your block, for the love of Mike, and patronize this place. It's in your neighborhood, after all!!“

“la recomiendo 100% es un ambiente muy entrenado.“

“this place never disappoints. good service, good food. good event. I almost go at least 2xs a month. became one of my FAVORITE PLACES“

“Very nice family friendly restaurant enjoyed their thin crust pizza 🍕 nice welcoming staff will come back to partake on the rest of their menu options George rudawsky“

“Very cozy spot. Great prices! Small menu but great options! Staff is super friendly. Pool table, music, live DJs on the weekend, and looks like they rent out a whole court in the back. That explains the name!

Parking: Diagonal to the bar on your right“

“Everything on the menu is excellent I have never had a bad meal. Margaritas are a must“

“been going here for years. steak sandwich is awesome! we actually call it the steak bar.“

“Stopped in here recently after traveling into town to see a terminally ill family member. After the heavy stuff, I was looking for a place to watch the hockey game and have a couple drinks. Wasn’t looking for anything trendy or overcrowded, just a laid back vibe. Based on pictures and reviews I headed out here. Could not have been happier with the choice. The bartender, Anthony, was very attentive and the drinks were made right at a good price. Highly recommend for a chill experience.“

“Best atmosphere Great people!!!“

“Wonderful place, great Dive bar, could not be more friendly. We were from out of town, stumbled in, and Cindy, the owner, was so great and welcoming 🙏. We might be going back tomorrow for St Patrick's Day. You won't be disappointed.“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“"Jud, Hailey, and Frankie are exceptional bartenders! I've been coming to this place for a long time, and it boasts one of the best pool tables and competitions around. The atmosphere is welcoming, with everyone being incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this spot!"“

“If you’re smart and want to have fun for cheap I suggest and highly recommend coming here. Great place to come here if you want chill vibes with great prices. Drinks are cheap and the people there are welcoming. Music is up to date and also can be old school r&b! Also if you’re looking for aesthetic this place never fails to represent.“

“Everything about Maggiano's is awesome; nothing bad... my son comes here at least once a week.“

“Trays of wraps made for cardiac service at GSH. Best grilled chicken wrap ever!! My friends and family frequently eat at the diner. Everything is fresh and delicious 😋“

“Love this place , been going for years
-The food very good (try the mojito)
-The staff very respectful and clean (they are always cleaning & I love it)
-Expensive ? Tbh NO (is one of the cheapest places I’ve went) Ive taken my 3 kids, my mom and I and my bill wont make it to 150.
Can get packed on weekends I prefer to call and get an estimate wait time.
You can enjoy a nice drink by yourself at the bar or eat with family ether or I believe you will leave with a good experience“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

“Great variety of cigars and all are premium . food and cocktails are top notch. I wish we had one local to pgh with this sort of atmosphere. authentic Irish decor . friendly and knowledgeable staff.“

“Great gathering place. Fabulous service and great friends.“

“To Sofia Aktas,Obviously since i assume you can read (at least i hope so) my real name is Michael Hennessy and the reason you werent served was because you were sloppy, beliligerent, and disrespectful (much like your post) hopefully your experience in flemings forced you TO TAKE A look at your inner self and maybe you'lll do better in the future. Hopefully as a healthcare worker you are better at your job then you are at drinking. And hopefully i can (like im sure most men in your life have) avoid you at all costs.Best Regards,Michael Hennessy“

“Everyone there including boss AL and staff are well put, super responsive and respectful yet amazingly generous .. Food is by far the best and drinks are always on point.thank you for your services I will be coming back and will reference a lot to those who are definitely looking for a great spot .“

“I surrendered to my craving for some late night chicken. I found this place (relatively new) listed on UberEATS. To me, the chicken tasted way better than that from several franchised restaurants around the area. I was on the hunt for a really good K-fried chicken place. I think this might be it. I’m going to dine-in next time to get a full feel for it; hopefully they don’t disappoint. They also included disposable gloves with my order. Small details!?Notes:I didn’t see a boneless option.C7- Fried chicken tasted like 옛날 통닭, which translates to old-fashioned fried style chicken. Very crispy!“

“We meet for my networking group every other Tuesday and they read us great and great food. Come and see us every other Tuesday 1145am to 101pm“
