We were looking forward to first visit, sadly will never return. Early Rez and Requested specific seating which was ignored. Table sticky with spots of caked on melted ice cream. Waitress too new. Asked for straw and instead of wrapping in napkin to hand to me she had her dirty fingers all over it. Water gal over filled water glass, water spreads across table onto laps and she doesn't come back with towels. Instead we took napkins from another table. Noise level off the chart. Food flavorful but nothing outstanding. Very disappointing expensive dinner.

From the moment I arrived, it was clear this restaurant operates on a level of attentiveness rarely seen in dining today. Every detail—from the perfectly timed greetings to the subtle refilling of a glass—spoke of genuine care rather than routine service. The food was excellent; from the Caesar Salad to the cannoli. What truly stood out, however, was the service. The entire staff certainly created a memorable experience for myself and friends . It's the kind of place that sets the bar for excellence, making you look forward to your next visit. Truly a gem!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Birthday Dinner at Felina Ridgewood! I celebrated my birthday dinner at Felina in Ridgewood last night, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, but what really stood out was the service every single person we interacted with was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It made the night feel extra special. We started with the fried calamari and meatballs, both cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. The calamari was crispy and light, while the meatballs were tender and rich the kind of appetizers that make you excited for what's next. For entrées, we had the cowboy ribeye and swordfish, and both were outstanding. The ribeye was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly to temperature truly melt-in-your-mouth good. The swordfish was fresh and beautifully prepared, with flavors that balanced so well together. And just when I thought it couldn't get better, the cannoli arrived hands down one of the best I've ever had. Creamy, crisp, and the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal. Felina made my birthday dinner unforgettable amazing food, top-notch service, and such a great vibe all around. Can't wait to come back again soon! 🎉🍷

Omg, my husband and I explore local restaurants every other week and we can't believe we missed this one until now! Felina was perfect from soup to nuts. LJ was an amazing server guiding us through the menu and giving suggestions based on our likes. Better yet, Frank the co-GM introduced himself and made us feel like family. Great guy who made the history of this old bank come alive. We had the meatballs to start which was perfect (like best ever). My husband loved his Negroni (several) and even enjoyed the one with espresso. My salmon was cooked to perfection while my husbands ribeye and Brussel sprouts were amazing! Overall I feel like we struck gold. No pretension just a beautiful venue run by good people and such a cozy vibe!

The food quality and portions were perfect! The staff went above and beyond and were very attentive! Consistent quality ever time I visit.

I was really excited to finally check out Felina after hearing such great things, but unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype. Our table had three different servers throughout the night, and the one eventually assigned to us was extremely unfriendly and seemed uninterested in providing good service. To make matters worse, I was brought a wine glass with a massive lipstick stain on it. When I politely called over a manager, they looked at the glass and even compared my lip color to it before simply saying, “Yes, that is pretty gross,” and taking it away. No apology or acknowledgment followed. While the food itself was good and the restaurant wasn't busy, the overall lack of hospitality and care made the experience disappointing. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it just felt off from start to finish.

Food was absolutely phenomenal celebrating my mother in laws birthday! Cathy provided amazing service and we couldn't have asked for a better night, better food, or better service! 10/10 recommend!!
Felicia
It was amazing! I took my best friend there for her birthday and we were warmly greeted upon entry, our waitress was so kind and attentive, the food was awesome, and the vibes were A1. When we left they gave us a cute little home made lemon drop cookie!! Thank you so much!!

We chose Felina for Sunday brunch because there was music (jazz duo) and were glad it was quiet so we could talk.
Beatriz
The food was spectacular! Very tasty and the portions were well served. The ambience and staff made our experience even better.
Food was really good! I definitely want to go back and check out the rooftop. There was a wedding going on which looked like fun!

Place was so cute! Food was really good & service too. My only 2 complaints was that it was very loud, and if you're seated by the front windows, the lights from the cars were constantly blinding me! They need some sort of window coverings. Otherwise great place and cant wait to go back!

First time here at Felinas and it was amazing from as soon as we walked in to we received dessert. Greeted and escorted to the rooftop. Then the drinks and ambiance were great. Then back downstairs for our delicious dinner and server was on point with everything. Even was served a bottle of Limoncello to celebrate our night out. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for great food and an upscale atmosphere.

The service is top notch. The food absolutely delicious and portioned so well. And the owner Frank really puts his touch on the place. A very fun modern italian date night.

Our server, Megan, was phenomenal! Friendly, caring, and excellent at her job. The entire experience was amazing. Food came out in a timely matter, drinks were excellent, and every interaction with Megan felt very welcoming and genuine. Would recommend and will be back
