“Noches de Colombia has wonderful service and outstanding food. Eclectic, full of flavor and passion and the portions were HUGE. The cocktails were fun. The environment is tricky; it is colorful and fun, but also the flow of the main seating area is chopped up.andappears like you are in dance floor. It can't decide what it wants to be. You can see the full Bakery in eye's view with customer traffic, so quieter romantic dinners would be better served with elevated quality booths or partitioned from the main eating area. It's a BIG CHOPPY space and it can be considered tacky and off-putting, but these are quibbles. The food, again was lights out and the service was great.“

“I go once in a while they have a lot of regulars. It's a nice chill spot to have a few drinks and relax. Staff is great! I've never had a problem. Nice vibe even when I'm not drinking (I'm pregnant and still go with my bf so he can relax) but over all definitely recommend you check it “

“Absolutely insane experience at Rosie’s!!! Wow!!! Food was SO delicious, and the ambiance was great too! I ordered the grilled octopus which was to die for, surf and turf and the most delicious chicken parm I have ever had. It was so good I had to buy some of Rosie’s famous sauce to take home :)I can’t wait to come back with some friends!“

“Gorgeous restaurant, great service. Joanne was our server and she was fabulous. Celebrated a birthday and they weee sure to sing for us and give us ice cream. Easily made a reservation over the phone and it was a great interaction. Beer flights were great and affordable. Only thing is that the some of the burgers were a little underdone from what we asked for, we didnt speak up because it wasn’t a big deal to us but I’m more than positive they would’ve happily corrected the issue.Berry and Brie burger pictured below“

“We stopped in on St. Pats weekend and where plesently surprised. We got immediate seating at the bar and had amazing food. We came because the spot was recommended for their tap list, and boy, did they not disappoint. Spectacular selection of premium beers and a great variety too; not just the usual whale NEIPAs. My only complaint is that this spot is too far away from me to be a regular haunt. If you're around the area, definitely give Taphouse 15 a try.Parking: Lot is a bit tight, and the restaurant is situated in the middle of a divided highway, so it felt a bit strange when we pulled in from the left.“

“It was a Thursday evening and we sat in the bar. We ordered off of the Chefs Tasting menu. We both ordered a salad and had the salmon entree which was deliciously perfect. Then we got to order a dessert because all the were included in the 29.99 price! It was excellent. We also had wine with our dinner.“

“Love this place. It's basically north-western NJ's local "dead bar".I'll always be here for all the Dead cover bands. Diamond Eye Jack, This Old Engine, and whoever else they can book.Good beer selection. Fair prices. Chill and laid-back staff. Great crowd.I wish they took out a few tables to make more dance floor space though. It seems like we always need more dance floor space.I wish they'd start booking some real deal bluegrass bands, some blues singers, and maybe a bit of jazz thoughBut literally, I love this place. It's family. It's home.“

“Stopped here after church and was pleasantly surprised. The owner greeted us and sat us immediately. You can genuinely see his care and pride in the restaurant. The service was outstanding. Our daughter was the only child there but they all fussed over her. We really appreciated that. They also made menu modifications for her with no issues. We all loved our food. Portions were plenty and we all brought home some leftovers. Oh and get the beets if you are a beet person. They were fantastic!“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“The perfect place for a larger family outing. Celebrated a birthday with a dozen plus people including a handful of kids. Spacious interior (outside too in warmer weather). We were seated appropriately in the back room with a great view of the lake and away from adults only by the fireplace. Kids were free to be kids without disturbing others. Without exception, food and drinks were delicious and our waiter was great. With Horse Shoe Lake Park right down the road, it allowed us all to burn off some of the calories.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Daily Planet and was fortunate enough to encounter Ivy the bartender! Despite the bar being busy, Ivy was attentive, friendly, and seemed to be generally interested in engaging with patrons. She interacted with everyone at the bar and made sure that they had everything they needed. As someone who worked in service for years, you experience all types of personalities good and bad. It’s refreshing to see someone behind the bar who enjoys what they do. I would come back just for the positive atmosphere that the Daily Planet has while Ivy is bartending!“

“Welcoming staff and the owner is always hands on.Cozy atmosphere with a bar. Food comes out hot. Live music on Fridays. We have been several times and Im hoping they address my one peeve. Though I appreciate cleanliness, the smell of whatever product they are using is so strong it lingers the entire meal. Go to a product not so toxic and scented so we can enjoy the food w/o the oder.“

“Excellent restaurant with high quality food and daily specials. Nice variety of mixed drinks with a cozy bar. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere with nice clean decor. Ask for Heidi when you go!! She was an attentive and outgoing waitress. The bar pie is the best in the area!!! Looking forward to making this restaurant our go to place!“

“Moved to Lake Hopatcong less than a year ago and still exploring the area. Went to McKenna's for the first time. What a welcoming atmosphere. Food was good, people were very friendly. Bob, the owner, bought a round of drinks and Kim, the bartender, was attentive and personable. 5 stars all around! Will definitely go back.“

“We went for a game or two for my adult son's birthday. We enjoyed some drinks and appetizers in Big Ed's and then bowled on one of the lanes in the VIP room while league games were going on in the main area. The servers were very attentive, and we had a great time.“

“New chef absolutely turned this place around. My gosh. What a difference. The ambiance is awesome and the food is perfection. The octopus is always my favorite and I usually get the porter house or the surf and turf. Put this in the rotation for date nights and great setting for socializing and friends.“

“We went in June and were very disappointed, I reached out to the owner to let them know my complaints. They asked us to try them again. Last week we went back and I’m happy to say I had such a great time & meal! The owner revamped everything and it shows! We look forward to going back. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, and 2 different burgers. Both burgers were cooked perfectly and the mozz sticks were so good!“

“@BigDudesBigFoods was invited up to @Pats.Barin #MountArlingtonNJ today. We were told it was a dive bar with a more upscale menu and that's exactly what we found. We started with the "Crispy Chicken Teriyaki" over #JasmineRice with #RoastedPeppers Next, we had a grilled chicken sandwich on Ciabatta with Arugula, Roasted Peppers and #FreshMootz Our 3rd course was #PatsWingshalf Buffalo and half Bourbon and we ended our culinary adventure with a #JumboPretzel because jumbo is are thing. If it says jumbo, giant, colossal or anything of that nature on the menu, we are probably going to order it. #PatsBar was clean, decorated for halloween and surprisingly had customers at 3pm when arrived after work. The food was delicious and the staff was fun and friendly and made you want to stay longer but you can only eat so much. . #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday“

“Stopped by with another couple for drinks after dinner elsewhere. Nice bar and pleasant atmosphere. Bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. Although I only had a Sambuco Black, it was served appropriately with three coffee beans. Would stop by this bar again. Maybe even do dinner here next time.“

“This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments!“

“Waiter was a great salesman and polite. One iced tea had to be asked for 3 times, one meal didn't come out until everyone else was almost done.5 adults went, and we were presented a bill with automatic 20% tip... and told a 7% discount for cash and 3% surcharge for credit card. We normally tip 20% so that wasn't terrible. It was just a surprise with only 5 and the waiter didn't tell us it was already added. I get the cc surcharge... but cash discount sounds like.... fishy.We won't be going back...“

“As a young girl in 4th grade, my mother enrolled my sister and I into Deutsche schule every Sat from 10-12. Yuk! But we learned German and Germania Park has become a part of my life as my mother and step father were active members. I haven't been in years, but we went yesterday to enjoy excellent German food, Weiss bier, ompa band music and cup pyramids being built! Good ole fun ...“

“Most of us ordered the Sirloin Steak. It came out on a hot plate with rice and potatoes on another plate. The steak was quite large and was very juicy. Chimichurry sauce was also very good. The steak cut wasn't the best, but that's the nature of Sirloin. Overall, I enjoyed it. I would probably serve chimichurry sauce in a different type of container (instead of a plastic cup)“

“Charley's Tavern impressed me with their prime rib—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a true delight for the taste buds. The inviting atmosphere and attentive staff further enhanced the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Charley's for a fantastic meal!“

“We love Bells Mansion! What an amazing place, atmosphere, food, environment. This restaurant is everything plus more. If you're looking for a good local place to eat, bells is amazing! Beyond expectations. Make sure to request LaLa as your waitress. She will make your experience that much better!“
