Welcome to the River Palm Terrace, New Jersey's finest steakhouse! We serve the finest prime beef available anywhere. Only 1% of the beef fabricated in America is suitable for use in our restaurant. Our beef is hand selected from the best-fed cattle by the finest stockyard packing companies in the west. The steaks are center cut only from U.S.D.A. Prime Beef, aged on the premises to the mellow point of perfection and then hand crafted by our own butcher for incomparable tenderness and flavor. Even our prime rib is prime. All of our prime beef is tender and juicy beyond imagination.....Search the world over, taste and savor, you'll find no other meats to compare, by any standards, with superb selections of the River Palm Terrace restaurant. This is an assurance and our promise.

Our small office decided to have a Christmas party and we were looking for steaks. We decided on the River Palm Terrace because of the reviews.

Delicious food, big portions and good price. I had the chicken breast and steak with rice and beans and my brother had the chicken and shrimp linguine. For dessert he had the carrot cake and I had the flan. We will definitely be back on this trip.

Been here forever. Get the hot dog ""ripped"- that is, well done so it splits on a toasted bun. Fries are outstanding. A vintage roadside stand that beats them all, anywhere. Very old with no updates. Kitchy. Outside bathroom and parking. Serves a good burger also. No gimmics.

I read the reviews and thought the negative ones were too harsh. I was hopeful that the good reviews were accurate. I was wrong.
When I read about the inconsistent servers, I thought that was no big deal. I was wrong. What a pain to ask a server for something and get no response. We asked for things repeatedly and got nowhere.
The steaks were grizzly and fatty. The endive salad was tasteless. We had to ask for wine vinegar and added it to give it taste.
Oh, the price! $240. for 3 people. No bottle of wine. One martini and 2 glasses of house wine.
5. Bischoff's Ice Cream and Candy
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 116 reviews
Reviewed By UsHere4U - Teaneck, New Jersey
During the summer season and again in the Fall we bought various ice cream flavors here. Even though the ice cream was quite good the "stone-cold" arrogant attitudes displayed toward us soured our appetites. Observing the impatience and anger of the employees when children changed their mind shocked me. If they hate their jobs that much why not hire new employees ? Moreover, the portions on an Ice Cream Sunday are too small given the high prices. Why are the tables unsanitary knowing that families bring children to sit down for cakes and sweets ? With so few tables available one expects cleanliness but even the floor was sticky. There are cleaner places in Bergen County serving fine homemade ice cream where customers are accorded greater respect. We'll return during Summer 2018 to see if there is any improvement.

Probably eat in Amarone once or twice a month. Very consistent service, excellent menu and accommodating hosts (Nick and Nick). Kind of quiet, but nothing wrong with that.

Reviewed By Lutte_Raisonnee - Bath, United Kingdom
Taken by a friend as an example of good neighbourhood restaurant it was mediocre tourist quality fare with local hidden gem prices
The recipes are authentic but the execution was dull. Portions too big to compensate?
It was really quite expensive given the low quality.
Service was slow but with a smile
8. Levain Bakery
Overall Ratings
5 based on 1 reviews
Nestled in New York City's Upper West Side, Levain headquarters is a cozy neighborhood bakery where locals are greeted by name. A steady stream of loyal regulars stand side by side with tourists, eager to sample the legendary baked goods. From an inventive array of rustic breads to the world-famous six-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie, everything is baked on-site, fresh every day from the finest natural ingredients. What doesn't sell that day goes to help feed the hungry-a mission that has been solidly in place since the beginning. The bakery was founded in 1994 by friends Connie McDonald and Pam Weekes. At the time, Connie was in banking and Pam in Fashion. The two, both competitive swimmers, trained together for the Ironman and-not surprisingly, as their tireless workouts left them feeling starved for great food- they began a passionate dialog about creating the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie. Within just a few years, Levain Bakery had become a neighborhood institution and a destination for epicurious travelers from around the world. Demand continued to grow. In 2000, to satisfy their regular clientele summering in the Hamptons, the two opened a second bakery in the village of Wainscott on Long Island's East End. And today, through their website, they now ship their world-famous cookies to happy fans around the globe.

The best Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie on Earth. This bakery doesn't have many options, but what they do is amazing! Their chocolate is just perfect - not overly sweet, but think and creamy. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone as this is the best and biggest cookie in the city.
9. Bennies
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 51 reviews
Reviewed By SGKlausner - Englewood, New Jersey
Sometimes I'm just in the mood for Bennies, and no place else will do. I go immediately to the display case before I'm even seated to decide what I will have on my place: you can choose three of the side dishes for a great meal for $13. For an extra $3 you can add a chicken, lamb or kafta kebab or add tuna salmon or shrimp for $4. The amount of food you get for this price is ridiculous! Wraps and main courses are equally delicious and filling - the cous cous cassoulet is terrific. If you leave room for dessert, the baklava is delicious: even better, have it with the rich and flavorful arabic or mint tea. (If you need a proper wine for the meal, run across the street to Englewood Wine Merchants and you won't be disappointed). There is something on the menu for every dietary restriction: it's the perfect neighborhood restaurant.
10. Balthazar Bakery

When Balthazar first opened, I worked within walking distance. Several years later, I was relieved that there would now be a longer distance between me and the bakery. But the memory of the buttery croissants, scones, and palmiers compels me back.
The key is to buy lots of stuff when you go. All of their items freeze remarkably well, even the delicate pastries. The breads are to die for, all of them, but especially the cranberry/pecan. Whatever is left of your baguette from the night before makes a delicious breakfast of toast (with real butter, preferably Irish, on top). And the staff is helpful and calm even in the face of an endless line of people asking questions about the ingredients.
Another piece of advice is not to focus on how much you just spent for treats and breads. It's worth it!
