Saw them on Instagram for the soda bar and decided to try it out with my daughters…read more It's a little cafe with a bar to one side and dining area in back and a patio to sit down out front. Service was friendly. We tried three of the sodas and they were pretty good. I had the dirty Dr Pepper and it was a change of pace from regular soda. My daughters enjoyed there selections as well. The food we saw looked pretty good so next time we might stop back and try that. Nice local business to give a try in Bloomfield.

Ladyfingers Bakery has been on my list to visit for a while--I've seen it all over social media,…read moreand I was really excited to finally check it out. The space itself absolutely lives up to the hype. It looks just like the pictures and videos online. Beautifully decorated, trendy, and very inviting. The staff was also friendly, which made for a pleasant experience overall. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste as good as it looked. I ordered the buttermilk cast iron pancake with berries, turkey sausage, and scrambled eggs on the side. The pancake itself was disappointing. It tasted more like cornbread, and not the slightly sweet kind like Jiffy, but more savory and noticeably salty. It was also pretty dry. The mascarpone cream and berries helped balance things out a bit, but I'm not sure if too much lemon or salt was added because my pancake leaned heavily on the salty side. I also tried the "All Night Long" drink, which I actually really enjoyed.It was strong and well-made, and I'd definitely recommend it. Overall, while the ambiance and drinks were highlights, the food didn't quite meet expectations. I can't say I'd rush back, but if I did, I'd be curious to try one of their dirty sodas instead.

What a lovely restaurant! We went in for brunch for my cousin's birthday. There was potentially if…read morespace available for a group, however, we did make reservations in advance. The service was good, the servers were very kind and patient. My family said the oysters were really good, they ended up ordering a second round. The deviled eggs were perfectly seasoned and moist, great consistency. The French toast was excellent! It was a generous size, I ended up taking some leftovers. Grandma had the Parkside pancakes which was just delightful. Nice spot with delicious food and plenty of space for a large gathering. Would definitely recommend here.

After receiving food posioning and the associated hospital expenses, I've contacted the Management…read moregroup and absolutely no response. Dear Management Team, I am writing to formally report a severe case of food poisoning resulting from a takeout order I purchased from Parkside Social on April 17, 2026. Following the consumption of this meal, I became violently ill and required a two-day hospitalization. As a direct result of this incident, I have incurred significant medical bills and out-of-pocket costs, which are detailed in the attached documentation. While I understand your organization may not yet have accepted formal responsibility, the timeline and medical diagnosis directly link my illness to the food consumed from your establishment. I request a full reimbursement for the attached out-of-pocket medical expenses totaling $596.93. Please review the attached receipts and documentation. I look forward to your prompt response to resolve this matter amicably.

The drinks were fabulous. I got something with a homemade whipped cream on top and it was to die for. I got the Birria quesadilla and let me tell you - my favorite. It's probably one of my top 5 dishes of all time. The tortillas were perfectly crispy and stuffed with tons of meat. Everything was flavored and seasoned perfectly. Still dreaming about it and will absolutely be back to try out more dishes. Service was impeccable as well!

The Brookdale 1099 Broad St…read more Bloomfield NJ 07003 The Big Cheese A member from my group page tipped me off about this location because I am currently working on a compilation reel about oversized menu items. This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors. I am truly sad to hear they will no longer be in business, but their three sister restaurants at 1109 Broad Street will still remain open. #thebrookdale #thebigcheese #bloomfieldnj

Only complaint i can think of is they didnt have many options of beer on tap as they advertised on thier menu. Overall good experience would recommend!

Checked out Barrow House after a farmers market visit and it was packed for a Sunday right at noon…read more Every room has a different vibe which makes the space feel really cozy and interesting instead of just one big dining room. We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.

We dined at the bar as we were seeking a drink and a light snack. Calamari was GF and delicious (wish it was more crispy tho)! We also ordered the GF dry rub wings. Amazing, crispy, flavorful! Ambiance: 10/10 Drinks: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Parking: 10/10 I wish the bar staff smiled. Though they were great at serving us and providing us our items accurately, most had the energy of a deflated balloon. A smile could have went the wrong way, or even a proper greeting. I'm going to assume it was simply a long day, and hope to see them in the future hopefully on a better note. They still received a 22% tip for their service.

Recently I tried the "Baby Metal" (Oka Yuzu Japanese Vodka, Kingfisher Sochu, Umenoyado Yuzushu Sake, Giffard Framboise, Honey, Lime) which is delicious and refreshing.

It does get pretty busy after shows at the Wellmont Theater next door or after dinner on a Friday/Saturday night. Looking forward to my next visit!

Any old-timers out there remember when this was The Nutley Pub? (As one Yelper wrote, "Not the…read moreclassiest bar but..." - which perfectly summed up the last place.) Now going strong for well over a decade (?!) - Cowan's is classy and cool and leans into its strengths. Easily the hippest and most-happening spot in Nutley (and the surrounding towns) for the 'mature crowd' that's probably more interested in mash and hops and wort than getting hammered and making bad decisions at last call. The (ever rotating) beers on tap are stellar. The selection of bottles (of the harder stuff) on the picturesque back bar are eye-catching (even if I never heard of half of them). (After a few visits I still haven't tried the food. One of these days I'll get around to that, I promise.) Recommended, for sure.
