“The service was amazing! Our server Jay went above and beyond what was expected. The onion soup was delicious. The perfect amount of cheese and the perfect saltiness. I ordered the 2 course plat. I had the soup and the beef tenderloin and fries. Delicious. The special dessert of the day was their bourbon bread pudding with butter pecan ice cream. All I can say is Yum!!“
“Great food, great service, really nice atmosphere. We met dear friends for dinner and had an awesome evening! Every course was excellent, Stephanie our server was terrific, and as we waited for our ride home, Salih said I am going through Ridgewood I will give you a ride. Wow! Talk about full service.“

“We absolutely love this place, from the food, to the cozy atmosphere, to the friendly staff and excellent service. It's perfect whether you're here on a date, or for a meal with family or friends. If you don't want a full sit-down meal, you can always find a convivial gathering around the happenin' bar. The menu consists of popular Italian and American favorites like chicken, veal, pastas, salads, steak, seafood, burgers/sandwiches, and a well-rounded selection of appetizers. Nothing trendy but all extremely solid options and consummately prepared. You're greeted with a plate of warm bread and black olives when you sit down. The house wines are quite good and a gracious pour. (A wine shop attached to the restaurant is run by the same people.) The steak is perfection - flawlessly seared to my requested medium rare, and seasoned just right. I've also really enjoyed the fish and chicken dishes here. The tilapia is so tender. Even the sides are outstanding - I couldn't believe how good the sauteed spinach in the chicken saltimbocca was! And the fries are amazing - piping hot and crispy, and perfectly seasoned as well. We've also had the seafood paella which is full of seafood but more of a cioppino with its tomato-based broth than a true paella which has a dry texture, but is tasty nonetheless. We'll be back often to eat our way through the rest of the menu, I'm sure. A happy hour menu is offered from 4-6p on Tue/Wed/Thu. As mentioned, they have a great bar, and the changing seasonal cocktail offerings are delightful. The staff are warm and wonderful, and we were made to feel welcomed each time. Mike the owner came up to introduce himself the very first time we came here. You can tell they take care to know their customers, and seem to have a loyal local clientele (one of whom recommended the Tavern to us). Our meal was perfectly coursed - never rushed nor too slow. I noticed our server discreetly checking on us several times to make sure we were done with our appetizers before the entrees were brought out in impeccable timing. A small table lamp illuminates the menu without harshing the romantic mellow. The unobtrusive noise level means you can actually have a conversation without shouting across the table. These are details, but the sum of these parts differentiates a good restaurant experience from a great one.“
“Real NYC restaurant vibe inside. Perfect place for a classy date night. There is a Public parking lot near by, or very limited street parking. Service is amazing, food is even better. Full bar to enjoy beverages or sit and eat at. Ambiance is unique in the best way. I recommend reservation for evenings and weekend as it fills up fast. Easy walk across the street to coffee spots (day time) or a movie theater!“
“Love this spot. Happy Hour even on Sundays, fyi! My friends and I always sit at the bar. Great eats on the bar menu. And Walker is my favorite server. He shows impeccable attention to detail, is extremely pleasant and his timing is excellent. A true professional! I highly recommend this spot for business lunches or dinner, as well as family events.“
“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.“
“The experience was great but the classic wines were not my favorite (I am used to CA wine). The desert wines were very good though! Loved the Pecan flavored one!It's tucked inside a cute local market that also has a zoo on the grounds.“
“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.“
“I had another great experience at Bocaditos this is my 3rd time going and the food. Impresses me every time. The staff at Bocaditos are incredibly attentive and friendly. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly.All of the Dishes are tasty, I've had the beef which was tasty, the chicken and pasta was delicious, it felt as if I were in a NY steakhouse.Their event space is super Instagramable, bottle prices are reasonable, all and all in my opinion it's one of the top places in Paterson. This place makes me Proud of my little city!“
“Restaurant looks great, service was outstanding- shout out to Mariella! While our burgers were good we had no idea that brunch was being served- no mention of brunch or brunch menu online. Please update your website. Looking forward to coming back! Big thank you to Sean A who was very accommodating.“
“Great local place for a night out with your partner or friends, they cultivate a fun vibe. The specialty cocktails are well balanced and beautiful, and it looks like beer and wine drinkers have a plentiful selection too. The food is delicious though they are SMALL plates so just note that this is not a full-meal type of restaurant, it's a cocktail beer wine lounge -- and it's perfect at being that!“
