“I normally don’t write reviews but this place deserves a nod. To start, we were with some out of town friends who were impressed with the valet parking. Walking in, the staff were super friendly and seemed to enjoy what they do. We sat in their dining nook which is really private, feels like you have the place to yourself. I have always judged a place based on their scampi, and this is what lead me to write this review. Without question, the best plate, period. Annnnddd that’s even after I had to pick out the mushrooms!!?!!! The deserts were great, too.After dinner cocktails in a dimly lit parlor… ha! We’ll be back.“

Kudos to the barteam as well.We had the calamari and burrata as appetizers, both fantastic.Next time we find ourselves in Jersey, we will be back 100%.“

“Nice place. All food is good. Quick service. Really small place, only has about 8 tables. Had 2 strawberry margaritas. 1st one in a highball glass with a very dry lime wedge, decent. The 2nd one was in a short glass with another dry lime wedge that tasted different and not as good as the 1st one. Bad lime season so not the bars fault.Parking: Very small parking lot. Few spots in the street. After hours you can park in the post office parking lot across the street.Wheelchair accessibility: None in the front of building. I don't know about the back.“

“Mandatory tip of 20% if you spend over $100 with a credit card. They don’t tell you, so a lot of my friends and colleagues were double tipping for over a year - the staff doesn’t say anything. Otherwise, best vibes of any bar, amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing music, amazing ambiance.“

“This place is absolutely golden! They make great drinks and the food is honestly amazing. Drinks can be a tad bit pricey but they’re great cocktails! The service is top notch and plenty of seating! Def worth going if youre ever in the Nutley area!!Wings are great and nachos great“

“My boyfriend loves red snapper so I am consistently seeking places that serve it - on the bone where possible. We just so happened to be in the area when I found it on the menu. Went once and now regularly drive an hour just to come here for the red snapper and Pollo al ajillo which is my favorite (huge garlic fan). I want to explore other items on the menu but I can't because I absolutely love that dish. The happy hour during the week is also fantastic, he drives and I indulge in mojitos, which is a huge win for me. The happy hour apps are great too! We've tried them all.“

“My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner for the first time and were amazed by the fast service. The restaurant was almost full but we received our drinks right away and food shortly after. The service was friendly (Marge, Giuseppe, and another server we didn’t catch his name). Nice local bar/restaurant to watch a game. The food was great and we would definitely come back!“

“My brother in law and I stumbled upon this place about a year ago and we are so happy we did. Tim his wife and staff are awesome and the cocktails are on another level. The spirits are absolutely delicious. We love them all but the bourbon is amazing!! Make sure to stop by, can't wait to go again!!“

“Delicious, simply delicious. The food and atmosphere are the best. Magnificent place to spend a pleasant time in the company of the family enjoying a magnificent meal. 100% recommendable. The Service from Johnny, Drew and Paul is second to none! I highly recommend it and will definitely return. I suggest Pork Chops, delicious and perfectly cooked.“

I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.“

“My wife and I went to Bitol for Saturday Brunch and all I can say is WOW. We were both extremely surprised with the great service and food. We sat at the bar and Hailey was great, one of the best Bloody Marias (Mayan Maria) I have had. My wife loved the Butterfly Pea Tea Mimosas that came with her Mimosa flight. They had great brunch food options and we both really enjoyed our dishes, their guacamole app with the Sikil-P’ak was on point!! We will be back again for brunch, looking forward to their Taco Tuesday night, as well as future dinners at Bitol.“

“I had a birthday party there on Saturday night, November 4. 50 of my closest friends and family were there and raved about everything. The food is out of this world. If you haven’t dined there, do yourself a favor and get there as quickly as you can. Danny runs a very welcoming place for people to gather and share stories. JoJo and Ryan behind the bar are so friendly and accommodating and last night the Koverups played, which just was the icing on the cake. Fabulous band! Will go Back. Danny, thank you for everything, best party where the memories will remain with me forever.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This is our new favorite place! Everything from the delicious, freshly prepared and beautifully presented food, to their staff, esp our amazing server Kley, to the welcoming new owners, Victoria & Joe, Taverna is definitely 5 stars ? ?!! 2 of the 3 pics were taken after we realized we forgot to take pics first bc after the delicious burrata appetizer, we couldn't wait to dig in to our crabcakes and chicken skewers! ?? Kley makes the best cosmos too! ??Love that they have entertainment too and so looking forward to Latin Dance Night!“

“We had lunch on a Friday, the restaurant was quiet, but the atmosphere was warm our waiter was very professional, very pleasant. We ordered lunch with main course and dessert. The food was absolutely authentic, high end. My veal chop came with an assortment of mushrooms that were perfectly prepared,: flavorful, seasoned just right. My husband another meat dish from the menu, that he hereby declared truly delicious. We hadn't gone back to Cenzino in a long time, but may well be make it a more regular stop.The restaurant is elegant, pristinely clean. Such a nice time.“

“Food was GREAT and the service was absolutely stellar. Love the look of the place, great for date night or night out with friends. We had focaccia, calamari, Franny's house salad, chicken parm, chicken Marsala and flounder. All winners. Drinks outstanding. The olive oil cake was lovely but not like Maialino's which I love. I would definitely return, did not disappoint!“

“This is my 3rd time coming to Tommy’s. The vibe is amazing… friendly staff and really good food. Drinks are good as well. A bit pricey but nowadays what isn’t. I like Tommy’s because they have a wide variety of food choices such as pizzas, sushi, burgers, sandwiches, and poke bowls, pastas, and more. Def would recommend it if you’re in the area.“

“Pretty decent spot, not too far away from 46 which is good. Handicap accessible as the whole establishment is on one floor I had the sweet Thai chili wings extra crispy, and Lord were they amazing!! I was obsessed and so sad that I was done eating them Lol. The Bartender and Bar were super attentive and helpful. Love the service!Parking: Probably more than 20 parking spotsWheelchair accessibility: No steps all on ground level/one floor.“

“Food is excellent, service is excellent, the only possible criticism is it's loud af in there. If you're looking for a quiet dinner, this isn't the place but if you're ok with the noise I can't say enough good things about the quality of food or the top notch service.“

“Dietary restrictions: I still like the beef but it was actually bison meat. I am on the whole 30 diet. It’s very strict and only allows quality meats, veggies and fruit and that’s it. I was reluctant to get any sort of “fast food”. But I did not find fast food at Bareburger. It’s obviously the highest quality meats and ingredients. I had a double bison burger filled with caramelized onions and avocado and wrapped in collard green wrap. The food was of very high-quality and it was delicious. The bison was lean but not dried out like a hockey puck it was moist and tasty. Overall it was a great choice than a great experience. Even though it was a pick up both the server and bartender that helped me were very helpful and pleasant. As my massage therapist is in town I will be back!“

“Tried this restaurant last night and I was impressed! The food was delicious. I had the barbacoa street tacos the meat was delicious. The rice and beans was delicious. The drinks were good. The music was good. A great vibe and I will be back to try some more of my faves. We sat at the bar and it was a good experience.“

“I came here one time for a quick dinner date with my best friend. And this is my second time coming I just had my birthday dinner with 13 guests. And everyone agreed that all the ladies there were super attentive. The music was so good and the food was even better. Jamelle was our waiter and her patients divine. It is not easy to do with 13 guest drinking all different orders etc . 10/10“

“An assortment of their baked goods ended up on a job site I was working on in the area and GOOD LORD was it heavenly. I kept hearing people whispering…”did you try that brownie, this quiche, the cookies?!?” Not a crumb was left behind. I was happy to find out that my coworkers are from Montclair, so I know where I’ll be stopping when I come to town.“

“Been here twice now and both times the food has been great. We were walk-ins both times so we sat at the bar (which is full service). The cocktails were delicious when we tried them on our second visit. This place is above my normal eating out budget but it’s well worth the money. Just remember to bring a couple bucks to tip the valet workers in the parking lot.“

“Beautiful restaurant and very professional staff and they checked off the Open Table reservation.. Brunch has some creative dishes at very reasonable prices. Valet parking leaves you steps from the entrance. Looking forward to coming back for Dinner.“

“When I walked in I was casually greeted by a lovely hostess. She was super professional and so was the service at the bar. The team prefers Spanish but they go out of their comfort zone to make you feel good in English. The food, prices and drinks are worth it. Nice work 1/27/2024“

“Quaint and FUN. From the moment we opened the doors, we felt we were at a friend's party. Service was friendly and most attentive . Sangria was yummy. Live music nite by Sugar and Spyce. We caught ourselves time traveling. Def a gem n worthy of return visits.“

“Such good sushi!!! They also have a variety other dishes as well such as bento boxes, salads, etc. Service was exceptional; they didn’t wait too long to come over after handing out the menu and they also kept our eating area clean. They were quick to clean up our dishes and seemed attentive to our needs. We ordered the Long Beach roll and the kiss of fire with jalapeño. Will come back again! ?Parking: Depending on time of day you may or may not struggle to find parking. ?️“

“It was a nice place to have a meal. Kind of mid-lit trendy place. It was comfortable and our waitress was really friendly. Come to think of it, the hostess was really nice too. That set a good tone for the evening and we all loved our food. The Waygu burger in particular was amazing and cooked to perfection. The prices are a little high in general, but I would say they are about normal for Ridgewood. They have good cocktails for $18 each and they also have some nice local beers. There is a small side room that it looks like you could rent out, and it looks like it holds like 15 people or so.“

“Delicious Peruvian food done well! Flavorful, but not too-hot spice. Big shrimp, generous portions. Tallarin verde (pesto sauce spaghetti) was good for the kids to share. Anticuchos were perfect (followed waitress's advice for medium well), as was the yuca a la huancaina, and chupe de “
