“We were a group of 25 with a preset menu of 4 selections. The service was very friendly, the meals were delicious and service was great. We had a birthday to celebrate and you joined us in song and music. Thank you for a memorable lunch with our visitors from Israel.“

“Excellent attention that I received from the waitress Ana María in this restaurant. Their kindness and speed made my experience very pleasant. In addition, the food was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very cozy. I would definitely recommend this “

“Really great store with a very welcoming atmosphere! We had burgers, pastrami sandwiches and quesadilas and everything tasted really good. The two who run the shop are incredibly welcoming and we would recommend it to anyone who is in the area.“

“the jazz music at 8 every Sunday night. the amazing wait staff, Stephanie,Michael . Ear is an Icon, landmark and vital neighborhood pub for the world. highest recommendation for an authentic NYC location. music late nights during the week too!“

“Went here to celebrate Lou's birthday. We had a fantastic time. The server treated us like family, the vibe feels like historic NYC, the food is well worth the price. Our table ordered the classic knickerbocker 28 ounce steaks to share (with baked potato, mash potato and creamed spinach), tuna plates and off menu meatloaf special . We also had calamari, beet salad, cornbread and caviar pie appetizers. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and plated. I would love to come back on a jazz performance night. Highly recommend this place and well worth the price, especially for a special occasion.“

“Great food. The onion rings were crispy and well made. The salad was flavorful and chicken grilled perfectly and still moist. Our server didn’t speak English so that was a bit challenging but otherwise she was fantastic once we got things going. Will be happy to return here.“

“The BEST guacamole!Vegetarian options: I am vegan and can always find something delicious to eat at Sonoma Grill.My partner thoroughly enjoyed his short ribs.The table side guacamole is phenomenal!The cocktails are always amazing and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating. This is one of our favorite places to eat in Nutley.“

“This was my first visit and definitely will not be my last. The food and drinks were delicious and this is a great place to sit down for a meal after a very long, stressful day at work. We ordered a variety of skewers and I tried fried milk for the first time. It was great!“

“We hosted an event for 30 people here. The staff was attentive, and accommodating. They sat us at the back so that we could talk. The food was incredible!! Sometimes catering can be dry meat and wilted salad, not at Joyce. The beef was tender and juicy (didn’t touch my knife), the salmon was cooked to perfection. The pasta was perfectly cooked and delicious and so was the beautiful, colorful salad. Mario the manager stays calm under pressure and does everything he can to make your experience a great one. Book an event with them!! You will not regret it.“

“Always good !! Just stopped in on a sunny day to sit outback and enjoy the excellent cheeseburger and kale salad . We love this dive bar, people always friendly and the quality of food for the price is excellent . Been coming here for ten yrs or more and it never disapoints“

“I loved L'wren. Great atmosphere and experience. Service was excellent and attentive. My only complaint on the food is that everything was spicy. Fun for a couple of things, but not fun for everything. Otherwise, great venue and highly recommend.“

“Never thought that there is a cool barn in town. My 1st impression was the woodenly rustic environment and decorations bringing the cozy vibe. Food and drinks were perfectly tasty. Our waiter that night was helpful and informative. This spot is voted for one of the most beautiful ones during the Christmas season. Can't wait to come back.“

“I love love love Desiree, Gerry, Dan, and Kelly. Such great staff and energy. No matter what kind of day it is, I always feel welcomed. Thank you for being such amazing people! If you’re ever around the area, come by! You won’t regret it <3“

“My husband and I came here for Valentines Day a couple of weeks ago, and have been thinking about it since! Everything was exceptional, from the steak and fries, to the service. And the host Chris was an unexpected and special touch to our evening. Thank you Chris and The Standard!“

“We tried a few items. To start we got the mushroom arancini which was really delicious and crunchy. There was a cheesy cream at the bottom of the bowl that was room temp but very delicious. We got the meatball which was amazing and the bread dipped in the sauce was so good. I was really excited to get the mussels but they were really unimpressive. Not so much flavor and not a lot of broth. The bread that came with it was great. We also got the charred Caesar salad. The dressing was really thick. Almost a hummus consistency and was on the bottom of the plate. The salad was very watery but still interesting. The table next to us got the arugula salad which was beautifully presented. For entrees we got the rigatoni which was missing something. It looked like an ideal pasta but was missing salt or spice. We also got the short rib which was highly recommended. Overall I would come back here to try some other items like the salads, sides and Mac and cheese. I'm taking off a star for the mussels. I'm also taking off a star because there was a really bad smell in the restaurant. It was a mix of seafood and sewage. I don't know if it was the bathroom and kitchen smells but either way it was foul. It was kind covered up at times by a slight fragrance but still disgusting.“

“Such a nice spot, we actually came here twice on our trip and each time had different bartenders who were both so nice and enjoyable! Our first bartender kept topping off our espresso martinis with extra from making other drinks! We also got the truffle fries and they were amazing! Highly recommend“

“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 cute. It's small and cozy but plays really great music not only Spanish but English too Ans it's not even that annoyingly loud. The staff top tier, they're great and amazing they make sure you're okay within a reasonable time and they're like annoying about it. I only had appetizers and drinks and both was really good I can only imagine their food is as good as the apps. Overall experience was great I love it. It's a great place to go with friends to catch up or even with a partner to have dinner.“

“This was a laid-back, divey type of bar that supported the Packers as there was memorabilia throughout the inside. There were a few tables with mostly high tops surrounding the bar as well as outdoor seating with televisions. The menu had a few unique bar features along with over 140 wing flavors. Two types of wings and the special empanadas were ordered. The wings came eight to an order and seemed to be of good quality. They were meaty and large too. The sauces that were picked were awesome sauce ($14) and the Pickle Me Elmo Pickle Dressing ($15). The awesome sauce seemed to be a yum yum sauce but could not be exactly sure as the menu did not provide a description and just stated 'don't' ask - It's awesome." Regardless, it was very tasty. It was not spicy at all if unfamiliar with yum yum sauce. The pickle sauce was decent. I would have preferred more of the sauce present, but it was okay at best. The special empanada consisted of hot sausage and mozzarella. There were two to an order and they were big. The overall empanada was extremely crispy. There was plenty of filing and it seemed to be more of a chorizo texture than sausage, but it was still great. Will I go back? Definitely.“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“Stop by Thursday night for the first time after work. I was very surprised and impressed from the moment I arrived. Very upscale and elegant place with alot of attention to detail, with a very warm relaxed feeling and a very inviting cozy mood ambience.The service and food was phenomenal and Jorge, the bartender/manager was great, also enhanced my experience, he's very detailed may me and my friend feel very special.I felt like, i was actually in Dubai. If you're looking to escape the stress from the day and week and have great night. I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.“

“Could not be a bigger fan. Good food and great happy hour deals. They pretty much have something fun for every night of the week. Service is quick and the staff is super friendly. Also a great place to have a fundraiser. I hosted one there last year and it was a great fit for friends, family and coworkers. Having live music was also a huge plus for the vibes 10/10“

“I just had the best experience at Q'tal! Our server was so attentive but also gave us space to talk and catch up. She was so kind and everything she recommended was delicious. I highly recommend the jackfruit croquettes and the sliders which I love that they have vegan options for someone like me. I'm not sure of the name it was a passionfruit cosmo type drink and I didn't even realize it came out with a dry ice bubble. 10/10 for presentation on everything and ambiance. They have a dining area which feels a little more formal ( the chairs were so comfy by the way) and then a bar area with high tops which I think would be great for a girls night. I already can't wait to go back!“

“I've decided this is my go to bar to bring everyone when we meet up from family, friends, coworkers, day drinking etc. I like the theme nights, bingo, trivia, bands, etc. I want business to go well from them so they open with kitchen & its profitable all week. Foods amazing...good "no mess behaved" atmosphere. My go to place. Bartenders and everyone are nice.“

“Eagle is a rare thing in the concrete jungle of NYC. I rarely see it. ? Eagle ? rare is one of my favorite whiskeys I tried a few years ago and like it a lot. Also Johnny and Evan William. I have a new whiskey drinker palette ? but I'm specific about what I like. Much more to discover and I know this is a place I can taste American brands to like.Nice place. Spacious and aerated with just the proper light for a cozy ambiance.Friendly staff. Kaitlyn went above and beyond to provide great service. I tried an eagle ? rare old fashion. It was delicious.Ten years anniversary today and I want to congratulate you ?? on a decade milestone and wish you many more decades to come.,“

“We lucked into finding Jakes after a long day visiting the sites, and walking back to the 1 train to head back up town. The menu is seemingly one of only a hand full we saw in NYC that was remotely affordable food wise. The service we had was very good. I enjoyed the Steak Sandwich, and while I asked for it to be cooked medium it was medium well. Thankfully it was a perfect cut, seasoned well and tasted great as described on the menu. My wife had the Pear Salad without Pistachios (our son is allergic), the salad was a good size and I got to have about 1/2 of it. It was perfectly dressed, and the pear played delightfully off the balsamic very well. My Son had the burger and fries and he called it his new happiness burger. High marks from him as he is a picky eater. The only complaint was the cost of our drinks. 4 pours of Makers Mark on the rocks was over $50, which is nuts when you can buy a .750 for $24 in Baltimore (maybe not in NYC). At least they were fair pours. Next time we will probably skip the drinks (this was a theme of our NYC trip, I don't know why I kept getting alcohol).In summary, Jake's is great, and had good music playing.“

“This is a place you must go to when in NYC. I was back in the NY groove for the weekend and watched the Islanders vs Rangers game here. Great atmosphere, amazing drinks and phenomenal bar service! Cheers to the twin sisters working the bar area; you gals rock. Being that it was an emotional hockey game with playoff implications everyone was loud and proud. The owner, Ian, introduced himself and we started talking. Love the fact that he was pro police and supports NYPD. Ian wound up buying myself, my buddy and cousin shots as we were walking out after the game. When in Manhattan and close to Penn station, do yourself a favor and support this local bar, they are top notch! Thanks for the great time!!“

“A pleasant and healthy atmosphere, I loved waiting for the new year with families and nice people, what I visited, they worked and the owner was very helpful and treats people like their families, nice music, delicious food, everything for my taste, very pleasant, I give it a 100“

“I live in Washington @ 11th. My two locals were Ted & Joe’s and Maxwell’s. Both gone. Lately been too busy to find a new local but Finnegan’s would be in the running. The premier establishment in Hoboken to experience local bands in a great space. As a performer it is great!!!!!!“

“As an non-resident, GYC is a MANDATORY, multi-time visit whenever in New York/Brooklyn. Perfect outdoor neighborhood bar with great music and low-key television for sports if need be. Jealous of the nearby residents who have GYC in their backyard.“

“1973 fast forward to 2024. Didn't skip a beat or dropped the ball. Still the same as it was yesterday the day before the decade before and on an on. This truly is a much visit and enjoy the flair that you get with a burger or any other items on their menu. Service is like a well oiled machine. Nothing left undone. The atmosphere is of a time gone by. But nevertheless enjoyable. You must visit. Many of the places such as this have all but disappeared.“

“I want to thank this place for their customer service and hospitality. My colleague and I flew into town late and and no other place was open or available for us to get phone. Upon arrival we were advised the kitchen was closed. However the manager and willing cook, decided to reopen for us and stay open later based on our situation. Also that was the BEST BURGER to be prepared in such a long time. I highly recommend the place and the food for anyone in the area.“

“Have always enjoyed Wogies - great food and fun atmosphere. Leaving a review here because I was especially happy with the service during my last visit: David is a terrific bartender - very welcoming, hard working and positive. Glad one of my favorite spots in FiDi found him!“

“This restaurant is very nice. To start, it's a great place to go before an event at the Red Bull Arena. It's very close only about 3-4 blocks away from the stadium. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice with quiet music playing and nice tables spaced out so you won't be cramped next to someone. They have outside seating for a nice summer day with a tent over the outside seating to stay cool. You won't be having any problems with the service because it is great! They have a bar so you can stop by and get a drink with your friends. There are lots of options on the menu and happy hour everyday from 5-7:30. Now for the food. The food is great! The food came out fast and hot. We ordered the chicken strips, crab cake, and the flatbed pizza. We also got the calamari the was amazing! The price is also very reasonable. Overall I would suggest this restaurant if you want some dinner and you are near Harrison.“

“Sunday brunch was great! Service was a little slow to start but we weren't in a rush. We had 11am reservations. They open at 11. Drinks were great. Food was tasty. Fun and laid back, a mix of families with small children or a group of friends everyone seemed to be having a good time.“

“Great spot in industry city to grab food. I’m not familiar enough with this king of spots but it’s worth trying.The food was great we tried the Spiced shrimp, grilled cheese & salmon the salmon burger was ok though.The service was excellent and we got our order pretty quick. Lot of place for seating and the atmosphere is nice.“

“They have happy hour and a good selection of beers on tap with some small batch locals too always rotating. They play solid music, funky lowbrow interior, good food selection, outdoor seats in front and back "garden", and a Charles Bukowski shrine (that's where I always sit!). Pretty local crowd where you'll find no hassle or problems. Live music and comedy on certain nights. You should sign the guestbook when you come in, or at least look through it.“

“Great bar. Unfortunately we went on Tuesday, which is the only day that live Jazz is not on. Butvthe atmosphere was still good. The food was excellent and the server was really friendly. Spoke to a guy who was at the bar, not sure if he was the owner or door security. He was very welcoming and friendly. This place would be amazing when music is being played. Wish we went there earlier in our stay instead if last night.“

“Just had drinks but the female bartender was so friendly that our "one and done" stop turned into 4 each. Pricing was more than fair, and everyone else in the bar seemed to be having fun and everyone was respectful of all the other groups of people.“

“My friend and I, who I hadn’t seen in over a year, had brunch here on Saturday 10/22 and loved it. The waiter was so amazing and gave us great recommendations. You could tell he took great pride in his job and knew the menu well. He even came to say goodbye when his shift was over. I wish I remembered his name, he is awesome! The food was delicious! Will definitely be visiting again.“

“I love this place. Great prices and you wouldn’t think so but the food is always delicious. I recommend anything on the special menu. The cook brings it out himself and clearly cares about your experience. I’ll always come back and recommend here.“

“I have been here a few times and I mean it is a typical pub like any other. It's pretty clean and it can get full. I had their burger one drunken night and I knew it was good but I didn't quite remember it. So today my husband and I got their burger again and HOLY, it is one of the best I have had in JC. My husband actually told the bartender the story about how we tried a hyped up burger in the area and it was so so and she actually told the owner about it and he made us the burger from scratch. This place is very JC and they have such great service and food!“

“I love this place! I go here pretty regularly, their crispy chicken sandwich is the best! chill inside, you put a card up when you are ready to order, get the check or have any questions! I usually get their raspberry vodka lemonade and it's amazing! In the summer time they have frozen rose and margaritas which i can't wait to try! Service is good, staff is very friendly and attentive. always very clean, has room for groups, bathroom is clean, filled with graffiti which I love! Cant wait to try their frozen drinks soon. (also their chipotle mayo is my favorite I always get extra)“

“Best Brazilian Bar in Newark. Great atmosphere, Crew are Amazing, from owner Rafael to manager Andreia (The best of The best), Bartendes/Mixologists Ana, Carol, Iza, Juan, Naty makes the place a great place to be wile enjoing excelent cocktails, Live music, good food and have fun. The kitchen staff are amazing, Live music almost 7 days a week. Fusion of the best Brazilian platers, appetizers and Traditinal Regional food from Minas Gerais & Bahia. Price is excelent too.“

“I give Buffalo Wings 7 points out of 10.I've been looking online for the best chicken wings in NY, and various articles mention Wogies. Okay, so I'll taste them.The wings were somehow strangely baked, something about them bothered me. The buffalo marinade, on the other hand, was very successful, I ordered "mild", I received "mild". As a side dish, there were traditional carrots and celery sticks.I consider the fibers on the celery to be a minus, the cook could have peeled the celery, this is done not only in Europe, but also in America.“

“Attended an alumni event at Lokal. Appetizers and drinks were very good. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. The highlight of the evening is the incredible view of Manhattan from the glass windows inside the restaurant. Terrific location with paid parking options. There was another event being held outside on the patio. The bar and restaurant were busy on a Tuesday evening. Will return again.“

“Old school as it gets! Some of the best home cooked food and soups in the tri state areaThere is nothing fancy about AstorIt is what it isOwners that care and treat you like familyAmazing prices tooCash only which sucks but againIt is what it is!Get the chicken cutlet-amazing“

“WOW! I was positively blown away by my entire experience at Due West. From the warm welcome and immediate seating, to the attentive nature of the wait staff, to the flavorful and delicious food and beverages, to the ambience and vibe - I could go into detail on every single one of these themes and it just kept getting better and better and impressing me as the evening progressed. And actually - I will go into detail because it was just that amazing:1. The welcome: we arrived around 7pm absolutely starving and hoping we'd be able to eat as soon as possible. My friend and I were immediately seated (which was a relief because from what I've heard, this place has a line out the door of eager patrons vying to get in, so YOU KNOW that means its a hot ticket). We were sat at a beautiful corner table and after a brief moment, and as non-drinkers, we were recommended some mocktails that turned out to be just as tasty as they were beautiful - which many NYC spots do not offer, but thankfully that wasnt the case here. The recommendation was perfect and exactly what we were looking for2. THE FOOD: I cannot stress this enough. Everything tasted like Jesus himself put his blessing on it. We had the small plates of fish tacos and the crab dip. Both were absolutely fantastic, but the crab dip truly floored me. I would order a swimming pool size offering of that crab dip. It was THAT good! My friend had a buttery lobster roll that he inhaled, it was sooooo good. And I had the steak frites which was so tender and cooked to absolute perfection! I was actually sad when I finished it because I didn't want the meal to end. Then we had the warm, gooey, chocolately churro dessert. It was like a hug in your mouth, i don't know how else to describe that experience. We accompanied it with two mini chocolate shots and it was just heavenly. We were full in the best way!3. The service: As someone who travels all over and dines at all types of places, the service was something that truly stands out to me: attentive, friendly, engaging, and welcoming! We were carefully tended to, followed up on, water refilled, warm conversation, friendly recommendations, and service with a smile. It honestly felt like we were amongst family.4. The ambience: It was a busy dinner period and everyone seemed to be receiving the same caliber of service and enjoying a lovely night out. The music was faint enough so as not to interrupt your conversations, but loud-ish enough to give the place a truly fun buzz and feel. Paired with the warm lighting, it works for both a date night or a night amongst friends!By the time we were ready to leave, we were already making plans to return with a bigger group and we even explored their website to see whether they host events (they do!) and we discussed the possibility of reaching out to host one of our birthdays! I can't stress enough how wonderful this experience was. I encourage everyone to RUN, don't walk, to Due West!PS. We also found out that the owners of Due West are opening another restaurant in early March called Main Street Landing down in DUMBO, Brooklyn and WE CANNOT WAIT TO CHECK IT OUT! Whatever these folks are doing, its clear that they're experts and they care about the quality of products and services that they provide. THIS IS HOW YOU DO BUSINESS! Bravo!“
