New American Restaurants near Ridgewood, NJ

“Food has definitely gotten better. We had the Calabrian clams, duck leg, white bolognese, grilled prawns and blood orange cheesecake. Everything was wonderful and fresh, could be better with some minor tweaks. The clams should be served with some bread to soak up that delicious sauce. The prawns would have been much better if it was left whole with shell and head on, it was slightly over cooked. All in all, a fantastic meal!!“

“I was so excited to see that the Village Green was opening for lunch in January. I knew just where to take my special friend Janet for an important birthday! What a treat! Delicious, beautifully presented food with a novel twist! The service was absolutely superb. Definitely go there for lunch!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Always a steady goto in our restaurant rotation. Seasons 52 in Paramus never disappoints. Their Pork Chop is one of my favorite entrees along with the Filet Mignon and Lobster, you can't go wrong with the flatbreads, tuna tartare, golden beet salad, and Maui Tuna Crunch Salad. Something for everybody. Cartier and the rest of the crew that works the bar are great, and always welcome us back when visit.“

“I walked into this small cafe without even thinking they had such a great variety of food… I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! The pizza is fantastic, thin airy crispy crust … so delicious!!!

I ordered the drunken parm sandwich and it was made fresh, the breaded chicken was made right then not cold and frozen like other places.. they put the perfect amount of cheese and sauce .. it was crispy and not messy. The hero bread was delicious too! I cannot rave enough about this place!

It’s also very clean!“

“Outstanding! I'm usually skeptical about going out on holidays even to my favorite restaurants. That said, I love AS (and Charlie's Place) and Danny and his team really knocked it out of the park on Valentine's Day! I felt like Danny invited us into his home. The food and service were perfect for every course.“

“We live a few towns away and unfortunately we didn’t find this place sooner. Food was amazing not what we expected. We thought it was just a bar but it’s a restaurant. It has a unique feel and the service top notch. Keep up the good work.“

“My new favorite lunch spot. A great way to eat healthy during the day.“

“Had dinner here this weekend for a nice night out. Food was beyond amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable about their dishes and specials. We ended up with Tuna Tartar, Stuffed Figs wrapped in bacon with salad, and Asparagus with roasted red pepper puree topped with prosciutto for an appetizer. I had a veal chop that was out of this world, my fiancée had seared duck breast, and we finished it off with a slice of delicious carrot cake and decaf cappuccinos. Everything was absolutely incredible, couldn't recommend it more for a nice night out!“
