10. Le Bon Choix

The atmosphere, food, and staff are incredible. The restaurant has a wonderful South France theme. The decorations are fantastic with tasteful music in the background. The food is divine. The chicken is delectable. I would recommend the Grilled Fromage (best grilled cheese around) and the Côte de Rhote (the expresso BBQ sauce is delicious). The prices are reasonable, food portions are generous, and best of all the chickens are locally raised. There are also tons of gluten free options. The host was very nice and gave us a lot of attention. Be sure to ask for the rooster cookies where you can decorate your own sugar cookie to eat after the meal. Kids can draw on the tables. If you are in ridgewood and are looking for a quick, delicious stop to grab some lunch, Le Bon Choix is the place to go to.

I had not stopped in the daily treat in several years. The decor has not changed but the menu prices have increased significantly. They are now in line with other local diners for breakfast. I had the âexecutiveâ. 2 eggs toast home fries and juice. Tasty.

The Village offers at least half a dozen or more establishments that specialize in burgers.You would think that everyone strives to differentiate themselves on this popular item, especially at lunch time.My burger came out grey after I ordered medium rare. It was moist but it had a taste that didnât remind me of chop meat. What was it?That aside, I asked for pickles. None in the restaurant. Bacon was $3 extra on a $16 not so good burger. No tomatoes etc and limp fries.Too many other much better and less expensive choices in town, at least when it comes to a burger!!

I had a gift certificate to Park West Tavern and took my aunt for dinner for her birthday/Christmas present. It was such a nice place for dinner with delicious food, wonderful service in a very inviting atmosphere.We were sat to the front of the restaurant near the fireplace. It was a warm and inviting restaurant with nice comfortable furnishings and cool colors. It is nice place to get a drink as well.Dinner was wonderful. We had the almond chicken nuggets which were hardly nuggets and more a full chicken breast, dipped in almond and cornflake crust and deep fried to perfection. They were large, juicy and flavorful. The sauce accented them nicely. The appetizer was a meal in itself.I had a pub burger that was perfectly cooked and it was served with a side of crisp greens in a nicely flavored dressing with homemade pickles and home made ketchup. It was perfectly cooked and flavorful.The service was very nice and welcoming. Our waiter was there to check up on us and could not have been more friendly. He made some nice recommendations and the whole overall experience was excellent.I highly recommend the restaurant for drinks and dinner.

You had me at buratta, drizzled with a balsamic vinegar reduction (Photo 1) and our crab cake was real actual lump crab without nasty fillers like bread (Photo 2) @rootssteakhouse @harvestrestaurantgroup when your salad is as good as your cheese, mission accomplished. First: Quality ingredients make this establishment worthy of five stars. Second: The cocktails (Picture 3) and wine list are exceptional and consistently deliver Third: Wait staff are attentive but give you space to enjoy your time Fourth: Decor is contemporary without feeling cold - thank you for always going above and beyond! âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

We had a great brunch here today. The omelettes were fluffy and fresh, potatoes hot, and service was excellent. Carlos our waiter joked around with us and added a special touch to our dining experience. More expensive than typical diner but the quality of food and service makes it worth it.

Reviewed By conradb2
Visited 02/14/20194.5 stars actually. Everything was very very good... excellent even. It just irks me that some restaurants jack up menu prices on 'special days'. I equate this to price gouging and find it incredibly annoying. Not all restaurants do this, but that's the reason I took off a half a star.Other than that... the food and service were excellent.My wife started with the 'herbed goat cheese raviolis', sun dried golden figs and a pine nut sage butter 'noisette'. Quite excellent.For her entree she had the fillet mignon with fresh water langoustine, (think large shrimp with the heads on) shallot potatoes and asparagus with a wine sauce reduction. Nicely presented, cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. (according to her.)I started with the beef carpaccio and lump crab meat, with arugula, shaved parmigiano, roasted garlic aioli and a caper vinaigrette. This too was nicely presented and just fantastic.I went with the pan roasted cervena venison, caramelized onions, sauteed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. This too was nicely plated and perfectly cooked. I'd gladly order this again.Normally we would have passed on dessert, but since this was a fixed prix evening, we both had the banana's foster with dark chocolate brioche bread pudding and marscapone mousse. Pretty yummy!As an FYI... many of these dishes were 'specials' for Valentines day. I was all 'juiced up' for their seafood fettuccine, so I guess we'll have to make another trip back here. One other very nice touch that my wife appreciated was the hot milk that was served with the coffee. I drink my coffee black, so that wasn't so 'special' to me.Don't forget to bring a nice bottle of wine because it is a BYOB!
