this place and its menu have been through quite a few changes since the pandemic. at one point, they really reduced the menu to a few greek inspired dishes and it was never exciting enough of a menu to get me through the door. I noticed recently that they expanded their menu more back to what it used to be so I decided to give it another try. not bad - super good drinks and I am obsessed with the tuna tacos here. main courses were just ok. a bit bland and could have used more flavor. ambiance here is great though and the service is good. really enjoyed the lava cake dessert. had a nice time overall but not the greatest meal ever.

My cousin and I visited AquaTerra Grille for an early lunch on a Saturday. We got there when they just opened so aside from a private party going on in a separate room we were the only guests in the dining area. The restaurant was spacious, well lit and clean. The server greeted us, answered my questions about the menu and took our order. I decided to order Filet mignon spring rolls with a side of chili sauce, honey and feta brussels sprouts and the Parmesan truffle fries. I ordered a Shirley temple for my beverage. The food did not wow me. The rolls lacked flavor and appeared to be dried out. The fries were not as delectable as the name suggested and the brussel sprouts were too busy for my liking. I would return because the seating was cozy and the server was nice but I would for sure order something else on the menu.

Went there for the lunch special. Not a huge but a sufficient variety along with the regular menu. We had the ribs and they were the best I've had in a long time. Waiter, Eric was super friendly. Portions were good and very tasty. I can't wait to try the Sunday brunch.

I went into this expecting a seafood restaurant, but this is more of just a regular restaurant with more fish choices than normal. Our server and all of the staff were very nice. They had good cocktails and I had a mango tango, while my husband enjoyed nicks old fashioned. For an appetizer we had the lobster tacos. I thought having cheddar cheese on it was going to be a little weird, but it was actually really good and the slaw on the side was a good accent. For entrees we did the seared sesame tuna and the horse radish crusted salmon. Both were big portions with good flavor.

We had a pretty good happy hour here with a group of about 15 colleagues…read more Drinks were all good, food was good, the bar area got rather hot although and it wasn't even crowded. Not too comfortable. Service was generally fine. Our server took care of us in the bar area, but she also had to deal with tables in the dining room. She did a good job. There must be another bar somewhere else because it seemed like our drinks weren't prepared behind the bar. They'd take a while to prepare after ordering and then come trickling in from somewhere else. The pickle chips, shishito peppers, wings (dry rub and buffalo), chicharon, were all great. Everyone especially liked the bee sting flatbread. The Queen flatbread was rather basic and not too popular, but I think it's supposed to be plain. Something else disappointing for me was that they don't have happy hour specials or a happy hour menu. Everything had to come from the main menu. Not much incentive for a group hitting the local spots for a fun happy hour.

Service was good and food was good as well at the Hearth and Tap this visit. We ordered two of the…read morespecial appetizers and each were just okay. The empanadas would have been very good if cooked a bit longer since they were a bit gummy inside. The shrimp ceviche was served in red sauce and was absent of a decent amount of shrimp. It was tasty but more of a salsa rather than a ceviche. The rib special lacked the promise of the flavors of the chipotle bbq sauce that was promised and described in the menu -- the pork lacked flavor. The chicken Milanese appeared to have been deep fried in a fryer rather than pan fried per tradition. This made the thin slices a bit tough and chewy which was unexpected. Disappointing that I didn't listen to my server who tried to steer me in a different direction as he advised. We haven't been wowed here the last three visits but will give it another shot in a few weeks to see if things have changed for the better. Listen to your servers, people!!

07/25/2026 The Mrs. and I came here for our anniversary (33)…read moreand everything was very good as was the vibe in the place. Outdoor seating available, but large windows, which were open last night. We were seated promptly at a window seat and Diana came by pretty quickly to take our order. You have to try their Focaccia bread. They do a little something special that makes it so crispy outside, but fluffy and buttery on the inside. My wife ordered the "The Clam Jam" (beer-braised littlenecks, Calabrian chili, house sausage and Espelette Butter). She love the dish, as did I the one clam she allowed. I ordered the Hamachi Crudo (Organic cherry ponzu, lime, jalapeño, shiro dashi, pistachio gremolata and red onion.) This is a very fancy ceviche, with cherries and all the fixins' which I would gladly order again... My wife's entrée was the Goffle Road farm half chicken (crispy fingerling potatoes, herb butter & roast chicken jus). Gotta say, they Lula's does a great job with this chicken. I stop by Goffle Road farm and the chicken is superior to pretty much anything else, but this came out with such a light crispy skin and so juicy and tender. Excellent! My entrée was the Elite Prime Grass-Fed Coulotte steak (Pomme puree, crispy sunchokes & black garlic jus.) The steak was done to perfection and the potatoes puree were so very creamy and good. No dessert tonight... just a couple cups of coffee and a little walk around Ridgewood. Busy place! Lula is a BYO!

I cannot say enough, good things about this restaurant. It completely exceeded all of me and my…read morehusband's expectations both in food, service and atmosphere. The hospitality was incredible. We went there for my birthday. All the staff knew it was my birthday and they also knew that I was eight months pregnant and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable. The food was exceptional. The wait staff was so nice and provided recommendations while not pushing any one dish. We got the focaccia, softshell crab, Peking duck and chicken liver for appetizers. The softshell crab was the best I've ever had, and I would come back to this restaurant for this alone. The Peking duck was juicy and tender with the most incredible slaw type salad underneath it. The focaccia with the butter was also phenomenal, the owner actually brought it out to us and we had a nice conversation with him and you can tell he just poured his heart and soul into this restaurant. The focaccia is definitely not an appetizer to be overlooked just because it is bread. While I couldn't have any of the chicken liver mousse, it looked stunning, and my husband said that it was incredible and so light and fluffy, and it was a massive portion. I look forward to when we come back when I'm not pregnant and I can eat it. For dinner I got the Arctic char, and my husband got the pork. The Arctic char was unbelievable. It was piping hot and literally just melted in my mouth with each bite and the side that came with it was a mix of asparagus, mushrooms, farro and I don't know what else, but it was fantastic if I could have that side on its own as well, I would order more. My husband's pork was crispy and delicious with another incredible slaw topping, and it was so massive he has to take home like a third of it for dessert. We had the lemon meringue tart for dessert, which was also incredible and so refreshing for a dessert. All of the food was outrageously fresh and just outstanding. This restaurant is our new favorite place and on the way out we even made a reservation for three weeks from now to come back. This is probably the best restaurant that I've eaten at in Ridgewood hands down and I'm so glad that they are in the area. The restaurant adds a new vibe with food that is so phenomenal to match. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area as a MUST try. Of course me and my husband will be going back in a few weeks and we can't wait.
