Eggs benny with a side of pork sausage, coffee

Perfect place for a mother-daughter date! We had brunch before we made our way to Dia: Beacon. Request a window seat when you reserve a table online, the views are gorgeous! We also LOVED our waiter! He was so friendly, attentive and professional! The brunch was also AMAZING! The bread basket was not what you're thinking, it has an assortment of baked goods- so delish- and jams. The hamburger was AMAZING!!! It was Smokey and perfection. Highly recommend!

TLDR; The Beacon Hotel Restaurant earns a (generous) zero stars due to the atrocious (lack of) customer service and belligerent treatment that my 16 person party received from managers Eddie Lopez and Jonathan Lombardi in person and on Facebook. We booked a bachelorette party dinner a month in advance. The restaurant told us upon arrival that we never made a reservation. We were interrogated, gaslit and spoken to in an aggressive manner. Then we were told that they would find a way to seat us a half hour after our reservation time. Shortly after this, we were told that they "didn't want our business" because we were not being polite enough (despite the fact that the error was on their end and we were blamed). The unprofessional and insulting behavior continued on this FB page in the comments of our reviews. The reviews on this page are inflated - after people from our group posted 1 star experiences, the page was flooded with 5 star reviews from personal connections of the owners. Save your money and your sanity - don't book events here. Read on for full details. --- On 11/2, I arrived at the Beacon Hotel Restaurant with a 16-person group to eat dinner for my friend's bachelorette party. We made a reservation over the phone and confirmed over a month ago, but were told that they had no such reservation on record. I spoke with Eddie Lopez (manager) who asked who I made the reservation with. I said I did not recall the name of the person I spoke with on the phone. He fired questions at me in an interrogation style. He repeatedly asked if I could provide a name. I said that I couldn't as I did not have my phone to look it up. Mr. Lopez said that the best they could do was to offer the back room in a half hour. I said okay. I walked outside to update the others. Before I could share the update, Mr. Lopez rushed out behind me and said that he "wanted to get to the bottom of this." He said if a reservation WAS made and they missed it, he "had a big problem." He said I probably called the Beacon Hotel in NYC and "don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make." I replied that I did not call them. I called the phone number listed on the Beacon Hotel's (in Beacon) website. Then, he said the phone number may have redirected to another restaurant when I called (it didn't). I turned to continue speaking to the group. Before I could get a word out, Mr. Lopez raised his voice and said I was "being nasty," that he "didn't want our business," before he stormed inside. When another person asked why, he said that I rolled my eyes at him. The egregious eye roll was referred as an "abuse of staff" in a (later deleted) FB comment. Then came the best part of the evening, when we dodged the bullet of dining here and had a lovely dinner down the street at Brother's Trattoria (amazing food and customer service) instead. Several group members wrote negative reviews recounting our experience on FB. Again, we were insulted, gaslit,made to look like liars, and treated with outright hostility. In one of several (later deleted) comments, the BH wrote "I will always deny business if business is not being conducted with some sort of class. Next time go to Applebee's". When we said we had evidence of our reservation, they demanded we post the confirmation. On FB, Jonathan Lombardi (who booked the reservation) denied that the reservation was made. He said if he'd made a large party reservation, he would have "been smart" and called again the week before. I posted a clear record of phone calls and a voicemail transcript. I called the Beacon Hotel's front desk on the morning of Oct 3. I left a message requesting a reservation. I received a voicemail from Mr. Lombardi saying that he'd be "happy to take of it" at 4:30PM. Before I could call back, Mr. Lombardi called again - this time from the Beacon front desk - at 7:35PM. We spoke for a minute - in this phone call I confirmed the reservation. Once the "evidence" was clearly laid out, the Beacon Hotel could have admitted their mistake. Instead, they doubled down. They claimed the reservation had "not been confirmed" despite overwhelming contrary evidence. The FB page was flooded with positive "reviews" from folks who are personally connected to the owners of the restaurant. This was a transparent effort to inflate the restaurant's rating - which jumped from 2.8 to 4.0 within a few hours. The BH realized it would not look good if other customers saw their demeaning and dishonest comments on these reviews. They chose to delete all comments posted by the Beacon Hotel Restaurant on our group's reviews, as well as comments made by managers Eddie Lopez and Jonathan Lombardi from their personal accounts. This also deleted several direct replies that our group made to these comments. In short, a horrible experience. Could not recommend any less.

First time here as I write this review and it is AMAZING. The service is phenomenal. So my best friend and I wanted to sit outside until it started to rain, they happily moved us to any table available inside that we preferred. The cocktails (the mojitos) are delicious and a perfect starter before the starting food which were all DELISH. Highly and happily recommend this place to everyone looking for a cool and calm environment to eat, with extra delicious food.

I am excited to share my dining experience at The Thistle with you! The warmth and kindness of the…read morehostess created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere from the moment I arrived. It was refreshing to be greeted with such genuine hospitality, making dinner even more enjoyable. I immediately ordered exactly what I had been craving for. THE ORIGINAL THISTLE FISH & CHIPS! Satisfying my craving was precisely what I was aiming for. Perfection in a delightful crispy batter, paired with golden "chips" fries, tater sauce and coleslaw. [Don't be shy to ask for more tartar sauce.] It's a BYOB spot, so don't forget your favorite bottle of wine or beer, which goes great with fish! I'll be sure to bring a bottle the next time I go. Can't wait to go back.

The Thistle Fish & Chips is a small restaurant in Lyndhurst, NJ. There is NO OFF street parking…read more Curbside only. I had to wait 25 minutes for a space to open up. As you enter there is a small waiting area and an ordering counter. Staff were very nice, cheerful, & accommodating while I waited for my order to be cooked and packaged. I didn't look into the dining room since this was a take out order. PROS: Cleanliness appears to be high on their agenda. My order consisted of Fried Oyster dinner, Fish & Chips dinner, and a Fried Shrimp & Scallops dinner. All came with French Fries and Cole Slaw. They also provided plenty of tartar and cocktail sauce. Additionally they have Malt Vinegar which is a must, at least for me when eating fish and chips. The oysters were cooked to perfection, as were the shrimp and scallops. CONS: The fish fillet was undercooked and the coating saturated with oil. I don't think the fryer was hot enough. French Fries were soggy because the steam from the closed containers. Easily solved by putting in a frying pan to crisp them up. Coleslaw was okay. As for Pricing, they are quite high for portion served. $30.00 for 2 shrimp, 2 scallops and a mound of french fries is outrageous. I can get a full seafood platter at any decent diner or restaurant for this kind of money. I think I'll look elsewhere when I get my next craving for this type of cuisine.

Drain window is no longer used as its sparkling clean. It's obviously under new ownership, previous owner retired. The new Spanish owners use previously frozen ready to fry stuff instead. Its no longer fresh fried seafood. Just previously frozen. I didn't enjoy my food at all.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP…read more This has been my go-to for fantastic fish and chips for years now. Ramiro, who has been serving up crunchy, perfectly battered fish & chips for decades retired when the restaurant was sold. In August new owners took over. I spoke to them in their first week when I was there with my mom- we are regulars. They were very nice. We begged them to not change the fish and chips. They assured us they weren't going to change anything. Mid September, my mom and I went again. The menu had been updated with price increases of around $2.00 across the board. Fine- I get it. New owners, lots of expenses. But when we got our food- the fish was thinner and smaller, and the portions were much less generous. They didn't change the recipe- just everything else. . . We gave it another chance last week. Same small, thin pieces of fish in smaller portions, at a higher price. We were so disappointed. I had hoped the new owners would be there so we could give them some feedback, but they were not. So I'll leave my suggestion here in case they see it. Smaller fish and stingy portions won't keep your regulars coming back. Time to find a new fish and chips shop. So sad.

I stopped by for a quick lunch and was impressed with their fast casual hot meals. My group mentioned that the fish & chips were some of the best they've had! The lobster roll was also tasty, and it comes generously sized with plenty of lobster meat and sides of coleslaw and your choice of fries, veggies, chips, or corn. The brioche bun for the roll was also perfectly grilled and buttered up. In fact, we learned that the restaurant gets their buns fresh daily from a nearby bakery. Since we had arrived for an earlier lunch and the bread wasn't ready yet, there was actually a ~20+ min delay in getting our food. Regardless, the food was delicious, and the staff were very apologetic and offered to serve our sides while we waited. If we lived closer or brought a cooler, we'd probably bring fresh seafood back home. Would definitely love to stop by again one day!
