French Restaurants near Verona, NJ

“We have been coming here consistently and the quality of food, service and atmosphere has been maintained.

It doesn’t matter what you order, the food tastes amazing.

The Servers deserve every cent of the tip as they are nice and make sure you feel well taken care of.

The place it self is minimal and very clean just how I prefer it.“

“From the moment we arrived, the hostess was incredibly welcoming. Our server was professional and friendly, immediately inquiring about any food allergies—a thoughtful touch when dining somewhere new. Their recommendations were spot on, and the menu offered a diverse range of options to suit everyone's taste. Definitely a must-visit in Montclair, NJ!“

“A little cool French inspired restaurant with a bar upfront, seating wrap-around in Maplewood NJ. Street/muni parking, so it may be a little hard to find a spot on the busy days.

Service was ok; often came around for water and interrupted conversations for picking up plates (some false starts with people still eating).

I tried the French Onion Soup - love the crisp crunch of the crouton, but the soup itself was overly sweet. The escargot looked great - will have to try that next time. Even my neighbor's salad looked really good.

Tried the special pork chop - giant, thick cut and delicious, which was good it was thick, the balsamic maple glaze was far too sweet otherwise, a little went a long way, but the mushroom/farro/kale was soaked underneath, tough to eat it all since too sweet.

The dessert - they were able to do a candle, but they brought out the wrong dessert (a coffee panna cotta? instead of the chocolate lava cake). I had a great strawberry panna cotta, a little champagne flavor.

Overall, tended to the sweet side, will have to try some of the other dishes next time. Definitely very positive points for a trend of what looks to be very good food.“

“Amazing date dinner with my wife last night. The menu is Micheline Star worthy, the atmosphere is upscale and romantic. The service was great as well - attentive and friendly.“
