    Duck breast and crab cakes were both delicious!
    Jane B.

    The food is excellent. The choices available on any given night will please any palate (except for someone who shouldn't be dining out!). My only complaint? The over-the-top pretentiousness of the servers and bussers. Obviously, the staff are trained to say "How are we doing this evening?" "Is everything to our liking?" "How are we liking our mocktail?" "Are we ready for our check?" Now, if our server was tasting our food and drink, and if she were willing to split the tab with us, I'd say "We're thrilled!" (and I'd mean her too.) 18 hours later and I'm still mystified about the purpose of this service style (outside of Buckingham Palace, perhaps).

    First off, the ambiance and service were absolutely fantastic and out of the park. I tip my hat to them for the great accommodations and speedy yet accurate and delightful service. If you want to have a very beautiful and classy dinner with a partner or your whole family this an awesome spot to do it at . The river was very Erie at the time which added to its mystique and beauty. On a clear hot an sunny day it's a great photo op location. Second, the food / drinks. All of our waiters / waitresses were fantastic and really kind. We had some kids at our event and they wanted French fries and there was no issue getting that out to them . As an adult we got jealous and also ordered French fries and there was again, no problem there. It was a 3 course set and all of the courses were very good. The only knock I have is that nothing was great or blowing me away. That does not mean this place is bad or anything of the sort. In fact I would gladly return to this establishment. I just felt like the steak could have been more flavorful. The mushroom soup could have been more robust (the bread assortment they give was actually delicious) . The one thing that I can say was my favorite part of the course was the cheesecake. I think that was the highlight of my course. The crust was nice and buttery And the cheese wasn't too heavy and not too lite. All in all I had a fun time here and I would love to return. If you're in the area and want a nice scene while eating this is the place.

    An amuse bouche--tomato gazpacho.

    We started off our casual Wednesday dinner at Andres outside. It was stunning and beautifully serene until the torrential downpour started. Even being underneath the tent, we were still getting soaked. So, having finished our appetizer of the inside out burrata outside, we moved inside. My fiancé and I loved the burrata appetizer, well balanced with the arugula salad and the sweetness of the peaches and plums. For our main entree, we shared the tomato basil pizza, which we had the pleasure of watching Andre himself prepare outside by the wood fire stove. The pizza was everything we had hoped for, crispy crust and gooey mozzarella cheese, topped with fresh basil. After polishing off the pizza, we moved onto dessert. My fiancé and I opted for the creme brûlée, which itself is a work of art at Andres. Crowned on top with beautiful berries and a sugar cookie, the creme brûlée was perfection and just the right amount of sweetness. We will certainly be back, as we can't wait to try their other menu items. A huge thank you to Tracey, Andre's wife, who checked on us during the evening and made sure that we had everything we needed. NOTES/TIPS: **On Wednesdays, it's casual. It's not their regular menu, but a great time to try this restaurant. **Make reservations!! Andres is very popular and they get booked pretty quickly. **There's plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. **Sit outside, if the weather is nice. The ambiance is just beautiful and some nights they even have a musician playing outside. **They are a BYOB!!

    At Andres, besides incredibly unique and delish food, there's this !

    I've been here a number of times. I cant find the words to adequately describe the food and dining experience here. Tonight's dinner was a 5. From the amuse-bouche to the salad to the entree dessert and coffee. A solid 5. Decor, ambiance .. just amazing. Guys.. you must bring you dates here. Amazing place. Solid 5.

    Is this restaurant still open? Their website appears to be shut down.

    Yes - https://andreslakeside.com

    Is it byob?

    It's both, they offer wine and beer selections albeit limited and you can BYOB, there was not a corkage fee last time I checked but give them a call - they are super friendly and helpful - you are in for a treat. Walter

The Grilled Shrimp with Mango pico de gallo and mango aioli were wonderful: I could have made a meal of them. We had sandwiches and salads for mains. The chicken Caesar salad was substantial and precisely executed. The chicken sandwich with fresh mozzarella, roasted pepper and Arugula was excellent. The Artichoke hearts sandwich was amazing. Ribiola cheese, arugula, artichoke hearts lightly marinated. Delicate, yet satisfying: a real wow. Service was attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. The wine and cocktail list is fine but is still under redevelopment; understand that the new GM Michael definitely knows his business. So, I can't wait to see what he puts together next.

    Review: Café Faubourg - Montclair…read more Café Faubourg is one of Montclair's true gems--an authentic French bistro that feels as if it were lifted straight from a quiet Parisian street and placed right in the heart of town. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the tone: warm lighting, intimate tables, and that unmistakable bistro charm that makes every meal feel like a small escape. The food is consistently excellent, starting with their hummus, which is surprisingly standout for a French spot. Smooth, flavorful, and beautifully plated, it's the perfect way to begin the meal and pairs wonderfully with their fresh bread. The steak frites is a must-order and easily one of the best in the area. The steak is tender and cooked exactly to preference, richly seasoned without being heavy, and served alongside crisp, golden fries that are everything you want in a classic bistro dish. It's simple, authentic, and prepared with the kind of care that elevates a traditional favorite into something memorable. Service at Café Faubourg is warm and attentive without being intrusive, contributing to the relaxed elegance of the experience. Whether you're dropping in for a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, the staff makes you feel welcome and unrushed. For anyone looking for an authentic French bistro experience in Montclair--excellent food, inviting ambiance, and truly charming service--Café Faubourg delivers every time.

The inside has both a main dining hall and a greenhouse, which feels like basically sitting on a covered patio with well kept shrubbery and ambient lighting. It's a neat balance of modern and open while still feeling cozy. I think my favorite dish is the ramp fava bean toast -- the umami from the purée balanced with the crunch of the toast and the brightness from the pickled ramps. I'd also recommend the steak two ways -- both cuts cooked perfectly to medium rare -- and the lobster linguine was delicately fragrant, buttery, and slightly acidic all at once. The chips and eggplant dip (kind of like hummus consistency) was kind of a fun, shareable starter too. I will say that I wasn't impressed with the ceviche or branzino our waiter recommended it. The branzino particularly came out a bit dry, and more of the tomato-olive-caper side or dressing would've helped. And while our waiter answered our questions, service felt a little more on the less attentive side.
