Amazing proprietors!
Lina K.

I actually didn't know that Belle Journee was in this plaza but I took a wrong turn on River Road during construction and decided to pick up a snack at the GW Plaza strip mall. All of the pastries looked so beautiful and the proprietors were so sweet and welcoming. There is a beautiful dining area to eat but I chose take out. Parking is convenient and while the lot can get crowded, there's always meter parking open (just keep a quarter handy). Hands down my current obsession: the flattened croissant and Belle Journee has the best version I have tasted. It's so simple but so delicious: a croissant pressed to about 1/2" thick with a sugar glaze. So perfect. My second favorite item there is the chocolate chip walnut cookie. It has a great balance of crispy/doughy texture and high walnut ratio (yes yes yes). I'll have to work my way around the menu even though that means more cardio but I'm going to be coming back to try out other items

Review based purely on the 3 desserts we got. Chocolate ganache tart, pistachio tart and mango cake. All 3 were super tasty and will definitely go back. The spot itself looked cozy as well and we will try bakes goods and coffee next time. Good service too

Where did the BJ Bakery signage go?
Stefan H.

Walked by today and noticed the BJ Bakery signage along Lemoine Avenue is gone! Guess the owners finally figured out the double entendre! Have yet to try anything offered as coffee shops are not really my thing!

This is hands down my new favorite spot for pastries!! I'm a huge cream lover so everything hit the spot. I usually go for the popular garlic cream bread, but this time I tried the sweet cheese one and it did not disappoint. The bread was crispy, and they even warmed everything up for us, which made it taste even better. The crème brûlée donut was amazing, and I really liked the lemon one too. They have savory options as well, and we ended up trying the crème brûlée shaved ice--such a good flavor! Super sweet staff, too. Highly recommend!

This review is based off the creme brûlée donut. It is worth every single calorie! Many options to choose from and they all look delicious. The displays are clean and some of it is self serve with the exception of the big cakes.

Oops excuse my picture having a half cut of each bread but I liked each pastries and coffee latte :) service is alright not the best! Lol

Mini oreo cake

So excited a new bakery just opened in the neighborhood -- and it did not disappoint! They've got some really fun, unique items you don't see at every other bakery (a biscotti-flavored croissant? Yes, please! ). And while cakes everywhere have gotten crazy expensive these days, I loved that they offer smaller ones -- perfect for a sweet little birthday celebration without breaking the bank. Definitely worth checking out!

They never pick up the phone or have the goods you like in stock. It's always random.

This review is for the COLD BREW ONLY. It is very SOUR and bitter and does not taste like your average cold brew, fair warning.

My friends recommended me this spot in the heart of Fort Lee. You may have to find street parking,…read moreand I would recommend a reservation on the weekends. The inside is super cute, and the display of the food is top notch. - Hand-roll set, (5/5): very worth your money! this entire set can definitely fill you up, and each of the hand rolls are so unique in flavor and super filling. I love the banchan as well, and my favorite is the edamame, which I think or flavored with miso butter?? - Pork Cutlet set, (4.5/5): got curry on the side as extra for $5, because it doesn't feel right to have tonkatsu without curry! The cutlet itself was fried very well, and it was not oily at all. it was on the sliiightly drier side, but I recommend getting it with the curry - Yuzu Cheesecake, (3.75/5): can taste the yuzu here, but the texture itself was a bit crumby, and I prefer a creamier texture. the serving size was also a bit small, and we felt that the strawberry didn't really pair well with the cheesecake overall I would come here again to try their other menu items! I heard their dons were pretty good. that's all from me thanks for reading :^)

Great spot in Fort Lee for high quality Japanese food in a nice yet casual setting. I especially…read morelove the lunch Gozen options. I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.

I noticed that Mavi's has installed wall mounted televisions, which scroll menu items, specials, and upcoming events. This was my first time ordering from their brunch menu and it was outstanding. My Western Omelette (ham, onion, mushroom, pepper, egg, potato, arugula, almond slices) was an excellent choice. Every ingredient was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, and it was accompanied by a side salad and two large slices of multigrain bread. The other items were the artistically presented Avocado Salad (Avocado, tomato, onion crisp, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, arugula mixed salad, almond slices with balsamic glaze and sesame dressing) and the Toowoomba Shrimp Donkatsu (crispy, golden-fried cutlet smothered in a rich, creamy, and spicy Cajun Toowoomba sauce with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms, served alongside a half-portion of pasta). This dish is succulent, creamy, pleasantly spicy, and thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never dine at Mavi's without ordering a Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, mushroom, bulgogi beef, kimchi, scallion, spicy mayo drizzle). Not only does every ingredient dance in your mouth, but the soft beet infused crust makes this one of the best pizzas I've happily savored.

I've always wanted to try this place out and finally had a chance to order takeout…read more I ended up ordering the Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza ($20) without onions or scallions. This was a solid Korean fusion pizza. The pink dough was good all the way down to the crust. The Tomato Beef Sausage Pasta ($18) was a little misleading. The beef sausage turned out to be a hot dog. Now, they're not lying since it technically is a "beef sausage," but when I hear beef sausage, I'm thinking of something more along the lines of a meatball or traditional sausage. Had they mentioned in the ingredients that it was a 100% beef hot dog, I would NOT have ordered it. If you like hot dogs in your pasta, then this dish is for you. Overall, I had a good meal, especially the pizza. I'll be back to try their rosé pasta dishes. * The Tomato Beef Sausage Pasta is made with hot dogs in a tomato-based sauce.

We went for Friday Happy Hour (3 - 6pm) for the first time. Parking garage was easy - and free (restaurant validates) We were greeted by an elegant hostess and kindly directed to the Bar or High tops.... we like the bar so we can make new friends. The Bartender (Carolina) was attentive and lively and made a great Manhattan! We tried several food items (see pictures) and each one was delightful - tasty and nicely presented. We met some great people and the GM also greeted us as we left (dressed impeccably & very professional) If you're looking for a wonderful Happy Hour... this one is great! Will return!

It's a great spot to have some drinks and relax with friends. However, the service was a bit slow; it took a long time for them to bring the drinks and appetizers, and it felt like it took forever to get the food. On a positive note, the food was delicious, offering a variety of options from seafood to steaks. I ordered the ribeye and it was absolutely amazing. However, the kitchen could use some improvement in terms of efficiency.

A new AYCE revolving conveyor belt Sushi sashimi & roll place around the corner of Hudson Lights in…read moreFort Lee. The interior was very modern, unlike any sushi place hahaha and we were seated right by the belt. $40 unlimited sushi & roll with all the appetizers on the menu - except the sashimi. The appetizers were good (reminded me of Arigato in Edgewater), Takoyaki, human, edamame, udon, miso soup, you name it !!! Picking out the roll dishes from the belt is always fun, and I probably devoured 5 dishes of Philadelphia rolls !!!! I am not a big fan of spicy tuna or spicy shrimp rolls, so I focused on the seaweed salad, Chef's special and the Philadelphia rolls, As always, I went back to the appetizer menus !!!! Since it's BYOB, the appetizer ones were great !!! With the $40 (All day Friday, Saturday & Sunday) with 90 min limit, the quality was satisfying !!!! (Since I have been hugely hugely disappointed with the Kura Resolving Sushi by the GW Bridge. Will definitely come back and I do hope the quality remains consistent.

TLDR: Otter is a good idea but needs some tweaks to the concept and the overall execution. I went…read morefor lunch, enjoyable enough but felt like there wasn't much value or options. I would come back to try dinner. I wanted to try Otter for awhile and popped in for lunch. At $34.95 AYCE, the ambiance is nice but I expected more. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The belt itself I felt was marked but the plates were being just loaded where there was space - so the labels were correct only part of the time. The rolls were decent but it got to a point where each just tasted very slightly different so it started getting repetitive. Apps were fine but nothing noteworthy enough to order again. The options on the belt were much more plentiful than the ones on the menu to order. Lunch you're limited to only nigiri (sashimi is dinner only) and the options are pretty basic at just octopus, salmon, tuna, saba, etc. The belt design could be better, very slow pace and the divider on each side makes it that it's easy for the tables on the other side to grab things. We actually had the best seat where the items come out first but our neighbors on the other side started reaching out to grab things. This was at lunch which as I mentioned, had limited options - I wonder how much more primal diners will be in the evening with better choices. At $34.95 pp - would not come back for lunch. Just way too few options and I can't order what's on the belt. Kura for example, even if you have a crappy seat where most of the belt is picked through.. I can order EVERYTHING a la carte. I'd be willing to check out dinner to see what that extra $10 gets me. For lunch though - either the price needs to decrease or the options need to increase. I wouldn't recommend lunch service in its current form. Service though, A+++.
