    If you are vegan avoid this at all costs, I sadly had to go for a work dinner. It was a horrible meal the kitchen could friggin care less about what they serve. I doubt they have a properly trained chef. You could have made the veggies available in to a meal or add a bean to create a protein but that's not available, instead you get bland boiled vegetables and plain rice. I only ate here because I had to for a work dinner, but please if you have vegan employees. Do not send them here for a dinner. It's horrible.

    reliable delicious food every time i've been there Lunch menu always offers everything you could want. The beet salad is wonderful as the short run braised ravioli

    My boyfriend took me there for a Valentine's Day dinner and this is how it want ... The food : The food is absolutely phenomenal , ordered the clams and mussel's appetizer and it was simply Ama zing with marinara sauce , they also serve fresh warm bread with it , you can honestly eat 10pieces of bread .. For main course we had the crispy duck and that was served with black rice , one of the best ducks I ever had . Dessert was Creme Brûlée and it was very good , perfect consistency. Decor is welcoming and beautiful !! The bathroom is extremely clean . The hostess is not really that friendly and in all honesty I felt a little rushed , that is not really something I like to do specially if I'm on a date . The other down side it that BYOB , they should have a liquor license . Tables are extremely close together so you can basically hear the entire conversation going on next to you either you like it or not . I would also had preferred to sit by him and not across from him , that takes away from the romance. The food makes it worth going but they could work on some of the improvements I mentioned .

    EXCELLENT! 5 stars!!

    O...M...G.. I have never had filet mignon better!! What makes this stand out from the rest is the caramelized onions and black pepper that enhance the flavor of the meat with a sweet and savory flavor. This was beyond excellent.

    We just celebrated my daughter's Bridal Shower at Cafe Panache and not only was the food outstanding but the staff was absolutely amazing!!! Javier ("the King" as coined by my daughter) and team made every guest feel so welcomed and cared for. Thank you for making my daughter's special day absolutely perfect!!!!

    They let us bring our own bottle.

    I come to this restaurant every time I venture into Jersey. The service is always amazing, the food is so delicious, and the atmosphere is very nice. I will be back!

    Cafe Panache served an absolutely delicious meal from start to finish! We had a reservation for 6 people and were seated pretty promptly. Our table was comfortable, and ambiance was elegant and inviting. The service was overall very good. Our one gripe was that we loved the bread so much that we asked for another round of bread and butter, and the server agreed but then never actually brought more bread. The bread really was that good! The appetizers were scrumptious. I had the grilled octopus, which had a lovely sauce and some charred eggplant on the side. My husband had a salmon tartar appetizer, which was very tasty. For my main, I had the venison ragú gnocchi. It was rich and decadent in the best way. It was delicious. My husband had the venison steak that was succulent and flavorful. We couldn't pass up dessert, so we had the sticky toffee pudding and peppermint cheesecake. Both desserts hit the spot. We left stuffed to the brim! They allowed us to bring wine to have with dinner. Overall this was a fabulous dining experience.

    I called to make a reservation for my son, he was taking his girlfriend out for her birthday, and planned to get engaged that evening. I explained to the woman on the phone that this is a special occasion, and wanted to make sure something special was done for them. She understood and said she would note it on the reservation. I asked my son what Cafe Panache did for them that night and he said nothing special. I called the restaurant to complain and they asked me what I expected them to do for my son and his girlfriend. I said a candle or Happy Birthday written on a piece of cake, or Congratulations that he proposed to her would have been nice. Getting engaged is a special moment that can never be repeated. The restaurant told me "Our pastry chef is not a native English speaker" and would not know how to write "Congratulations" on their dessert. This response is absolutely repulsive, and there is no excuse for their behavior. I love the food at Cafe Panache, and have been coming here for years, but I will never return to this restaurant again.

I've had some dooziees with that delivery service and with restaurants sending dry, dead, gross food. Well, I was really delighted with what Bradys sent. 1. Standard packaging, nothing excessive. Thank you. 2. Portion was abundant for a person at home on St. Pat's, so thank you again! 3. The corned beef and cabbage was THE BEST that I've had in YEARS. I am comparing it to the corned beef and cabbage Gloucester fishermen make, so that is a Compliment of compliments. And a monumental THANK YOU for that. The corned beef was perfect. And flavourful and juicy, and the perfect texture. The cabbage was also perfection, and cut perfectly for a perfect bite with corned beef. That gives added points here. The potatoes were perfect. The sauce was something else. The flavor, with some mustard seeds, was so good. I'd asked for extra mustard, but clearly it did not need mustard because the dish was so darn perfect. So I can't speak to ambiance, but when my car is fixed, and my Lent fast ends -- Saint Patrick's is my annual Len Fast Break so I can have 2 Guinness and corned beef and cabbage but no meat or booze otherwise -- and look forward to visit and becoming, not a stranger ;) Thank you so much for making my solo Saint Patrick's Day a holiday at home.

The restaurant is very pretty overall, though the interior is quite dim, making it difficult to read the menu without additional light. The tables were also placed fairly close together. Our server was polite and welcoming throughout the evening. We started with the Korean fried chicken and tuna tataki. The chicken was moist and coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The tuna tataki was flavorful; however, the taro chips were very thin and tended to break easily when holding the tuna. For our main courses, we ordered the Icelandic cod, rigatoni, Freebird chicken, and a side of whipped potatoes. Dessert was the hazelnut chocolate crunch, which was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, the food was enjoyable. That said, the pricing felt more in line with a fine dining experience, while the atmosphere and service were closer to an upscale casual restaurant. Some small details, such as the whipped potatoes being served without a serving spoon, stood out. While minor, these details can make a difference, especially at this price point.

Everything on the menu is vegan, but my family truly could not taste any difference when we visited. We ordered the Oreo protein pancakes, blueberry pancakes, penne with vodka sauce, and a breakfast burrito. Since I turned vegan, I've been craving pancakes so the food really hit the spot. The pancakes were so fluffy and tasted incredible. The penne was also so flavorful and was maybe our favorite dish. The breakfast burrito was also filling and tasted great. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of food and would come here regularly if I lived in the area. Additionally, the prices were super reasonable and are definitely more affordable than the average restaurant in the area. Chelsea was our waitress and I want to give her a special shoutout because she was particularly helpful and friendly to us. She did an excellent job answering our questions and even was willing to share general tips on vegan cooking.
