We enjoyed Rivara's....Owl Pub. The food was reasonable good for bar food. The drinks were fairly priced and the service was exceptional. The band that evening was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the night. I would return to Rivara's with friends for food, drink and music.

I don't know how this does not have all 5 stars. Food is great, beer selection is excellent, and servers are on it. General Tso's tacos rock, wings are not typical mass deep fryer style yet perfectly crisped. Go out of you usual loop and get some food and setting that blows away the typical crap in Bergen County.

Twisted Elm Tavern

Reviewed By William B

While on a shopping outing, my wife and I were following the GPS directions when we passed by first a Hot Dog "emporium" (River View East) with a 1940s vibe that caught our eye... and right past it... next door... the Twisted Elm. We both exclaimed as we passed the Twisted Elm, "Wow! That's place looks pretty cool!"Anyway... we continued to our destination and afterwards dropped by a local brewery (Alementary - Hackensack, NJ) for a respite. After a couple beers we were both ready for dinner. Where to go? Hmm... we had WiFi at the brewery so I Googled "Twisted Elm" and upon going over the menu we decided to dine there. On our way out I asked the bartenders if they were familiar with Twisted Elm. One perked up immediately and told us that their food was off the hook. Another good sign!Ten minutes later we were there. The parking lot was jammed; we actually got the last space in the main lot. I was thinking we might have to wait for a table (it was prime time, around 7:15 pm on a Saturday), but the hostess put us at a cozy table in the main dinning room where there was a fire going in what appeared to be an old brick pizza oven. Looked cool! AC and a fireplace! 'Merica!Anyway... REALLY friendly staff! And knowledgeable too! Nice selection of local microbrews on tap - including a sour. (I'm a huge fan of sours.) Full bar. Homemade sangria (they had a special Rose Sangria which my wife ordered; it was delicious) as well. Having had a couple beers at the brewery and with such an eclectic menu of food and drink at the Twisted Elm (with such a nice cozy setting and friendly service) we decided to order in "shifts." First my beer and my wife's sangria and an app of chicken and waffle sliders with buffalo bleu cheese mousse. Well... I was expecting LITTLE sliders; instead, the brought us a place with two "full size" sandwiches - think the size of a fast food double burger. They were DELICIOUS! (Full disclosure... a BIT spicy for my wife's taste... but a side of sour cream requested and quickly delivered to the table took care of that! Since I LOVE "buffalo bleu" no "cooling" was necessary for mine.)(Oh... and when I had ordered my first beer I'd commented on ANOTHER beer on the list - so our waitress brought me a sample without me even asking! It's little gestures like that which make an impression on me.)Anyway... after our "full sized sliders" I ordered a second (different) microbrew and as our next food course we ordered the skillet mac & cheese with short rib, caramelized onions, carrots, and bleu cheese. It was an entree portion and let me tell you... it fed BOTH of us! Furthermore, I'd call it "Short Rib AND Mac & Cheese" - THAT'S how much meat there was! This dish wasn't "flavored" with short rib; it was LOADED with short rib. Hey... $20... not cheap... BUT... you're getting your money's worth and more. Off the hook tasty! Stick to your ribs "home" cookin'!Anyway... two beers... one sangria... one app... one entree... with tax $61. Great setting. Convenient location minutes from multiple highways. (This is Jersey, remember!) Oh... and back to "the little things; the gestures"... the chef came out to introduce himself. I like that! The chef and the staff take pride in what they do. That MATTERS. Anyway... I highly recommend the Twisted Elm. They have a good website. Check it out. Photos... menus... their story...Check out the website and my review here will resonate.

Artisan Kitchen and  Bar

Reviewed By 205dont

Tucked away in the suburb of Hawthorne is this gem of a restaurant. Entering the parking lot your greeted by valet service making the visit comfortable unless your the type that prefers self-parking. The hostess was charming and seated us immediately. I recommend reservations. A full service bar that has a mixologist expertly making any drink you desire. After a few cocktails we began an assortment of appetizers and then our entree's. The filet was cooked with the exact temperature and delicious Their wine list is not so typical with varietals from Africa and other regions from around the world. An all around great experience.

Celtic Corner

Reviewed By kenandkarenr

I heard some things that wanted to break when they first opened, especially about the service. But they have plenty of servers now and the bartenders couldn't be more attentive. Drinks are very reasonable and there is nothing on the food menu higher than $24. And that was a special. Everything I've had there and I've been there three times has been excellent, and they keep dust out at Cellar temperature not refrigerated. They know what they're doing I only hope it doesn't get too crowded so I have a tough time getting in. LOL

I actually really loved coming here for happy hour, it has a wonderful selection of beverages and the appetizers are really nice as far as a variety for your group. The do a catering party special in the banquet room and the food was delicious. Its gets packed fast in the dining area so get there early. I've seen families with kids, but the kids were well behaved its not a place kids can run around or act up in.

We went to this Restaurant not knowing what to expect. We read mixed reviews. In our opinion, one of the best meals we had in a while. We even enjoyed the smoothies! I had the Benito chicken box and thoroughly enjoyed it. I even gave half of it to my son! He had the lunch Salmon. He said it was delicious. We plan to go back againHi Christine, Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience and we look forward to your next visit!

The Dutch House is located in an historic building dating back to revolutionary days. Rustic decor & appropriately decorated. They serve excellent huge burgers, great fries & onion rings as well as large salads & sandwiches. They say that all their meats come from the neighboring Pork store which is itself a classic shop. Cold beer is always a plus.

Reviewed By parryaftab

I know it sounds weird, but we come for the salad. Crunchy chickpeas, kalamata olives, hard boiled eggs and ripe tomatoes top an incredibly dressed crispy salad.Love their roast beef sandwich (add broccoli rabe), roasted wings with caramelized onions (finger-lickin' great!) and cauliflower pizza!It's packed most evenings with a mixed business/family crowd. Might want to call ahead.Saw the "poor" review. Don't understand how we could be talking about the same place. Food is consistently amazing!Order the salad - family size!
