Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“Hands down the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant I’ve ever been to! You walk into what feels like a cozy dive bar, but when you ask to sit in the dining room, they take you through the kitchen to the back—and wow, it’s like stepping into a hidden gem packed with memorabilia everywhere you look. I didn’t even know where to start taking it all in!

The owner personally went around to every table, greeting everyone and chatting with us about the history of the place—which alone deserves 10 stars. Every single dish we tried was absolutely fantastic. The baked clams were massive, and the garlic clams in that buttery garlic sauce? I could honestly drink it with a spoon. Then came the steaks—perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

To top it all off, the chef came out to greet everyone too and asked how everything was. It’s such a rare touch that made us feel like family, like we’d been regulars for years. And for the kids—there’s even a fun little scavenger hunt, which is such a cute idea!

If I could give Charlie Bloods 20 stars, I would. This place is full of heart, history, and seriously good food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Went with friends last night. Everyone said their dinners were delicious! The service was great and it was a treat to see our favorite bartender, Lucy. Looking forward to going back soon. Highly recommend!“

“Planned a dinner for my husband's birthday last Saturday. Mars was our waitress. She was attentive and so kind. The manager Sarah provided awesome service to our large party as well. Food was delicious. DJ Blurred Lines played all the hot 🔥 music and classics. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sarah & Mars 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“Being from Maine I’ll never admit this publicly, but we had the very best clam chowder, even better than anything we’ve had in Maine at the Station! It was so good! Again, I’d lose credibility with my Maine friends if I said this in public, so I trust Facebook will protect my identity! 🤣😂🤣 Thank you for great hospitality and a wonderful meal!“

“I have been coming to Munno’s for over 22 years. I have never had better penne vodka and I travel extensively gobbling up food in different states and in Europe. The staff is always friendly and willing to take an order for a tray of penne vodka to be ready for us the same day. My family is now obsessed with Munno’s as well!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! I love going for breakfast, and they also have great options for lunch. They even do catering. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind—when I had my baby in one arm, they insisted on helping me carry my coffee to the car. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare these days and makes this place extra special!

Their prices are also very reasonable too!“

“The restaurant is nice but small and it is popular, so their time management doesn't work very well a specially for a bigger group of people. We had to wait for 30 min. But the food was good, solid 4 star on everything. Special dishes are nice just pay attention to the price.“

“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.“

“Our family loves the food & staff!! Cant wait to get back to Sunday breakfasts there!😊“

“Stopped in today from out of state. AMAZING cheesecake! Highly recommend 💜“

“Great little spot in Ridgewood not to be overlooked. Super friendly and attentive service. Smiling staff who genuinely seem to like each other and enjoy their work. Healthy, tasty food. Exceptional coffees and teas. Sometimes hard to get in since it is so small, and that’s the only downside.“
