I was really is disbelief when I walked through the establishment.  There as outdoor/indoor space for hookah was on the first floor. The upper level is where I spent the majority of the time. The bar was slow but that how it in a night club most times. The drinks were delicious. All the staff were friendly. There were multiple places throughout the establishment which were set up with a back drop to snap pictures.  The vibe on the top floor blew my mind. I never imaged there would be a place like this is Bergenfield. There were dancers on stilts, confetti, smoke machines, and a screen to watch the dj. I enjoyed myself.

Beautiful setting and great vibes if you are looking to chill out or party with your friends…read more Service was quite good but Food options was quite limited when compared to the Drinks Menu, and price was definitely on the higher end, which was still acceptable for such a spot. We had ordered Guacamole which tasted kind of bland and was just average. Drinks were pretty good though. My main issue was how they have setup their Hookah. Very limited Flavors to begin with and except for one, all other flavors were not so great. On top of that, they charge $10 extra to replace the Coals. $10 for COALS..?!?!? I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious. Switching the complete bowl with new flavor was $20, so obviously we ended up opting for that eventhough the 1st bowl/flavour was still good and just needed new coals.

The pasta was very creamy and enjoyed the flavor. As someone who loves steak and is picky with how I receive it, I had ordered a porterhouse Medium Rare, the first one we received was overcooked to medium well and our server second guessed me when I brought it to attention. He had to call over another worker to double check and we had to ask once again if we were able to get it redone to our liking before even getting it replaced right away. The second porterhouse we received was done correctly and was seasoned well and had enough fat to make it buttery and melty. Espresso Martini was made well and for Whiskey Sours, if you like them on the smokier side, I would recommend it. All in all, we enjoyed all the food but the only set back for us was that we had to wait a little longer for our steak which we wanted to pair with our pasta. By the time it came out correctly, our pasta was already cold.

We arrived right when they opened (perfect timing, especially with a snowstorm expected later that day), so the restaurant was still quiet. The space has a modern, upscale vibe that definitely feels suited for special occasions. It's located on a busy street, and while they do offer valet, we lucked out with free street parking since it was early. They offer a prix fixe brunch for $39 per person, which includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. It's a good way to experience the restaurant without committing to a full dinner price point--but be aware that quite a few items come with upcharges, and drinks are not included, so the bill can climb quickly. I do have a gluten allergy, and I was honestly surprised by how limited the gluten-free options were for a restaurant of this caliber. That said, I made it work: I started with a Bellini, had the sizzling slab of bacon as my appetizer, the recovery burger (no bun sub roasted potatoes as a side) as my main, and finished with the salted caramel gelato. Everything I had was enjoyable, but I would have appreciated more flexibility in the menu. The rest of the group (no dietary restrictions) had more variety to choose from and really enjoyed their meals, which is always a good sign. Service was attentive without being overbearing--likely helped by the fact that it wasn't too crowded yet--so we were able to relax and actually enjoy conversation, which made the celebration feel special. The restaurant also has a private back room that looks great for parties, plus a downstairs lounge area, which adds to its appeal as an event space. Overall, for me it's definitely more of a special occasion spot, and while the pricing is on the higher side for what you get, brunch feels like the best way to experience it. I'd come back again--but probably stick to brunch.

Claudia made sure she is on top of everything. From menu selection making it "personalized" by printing the celebrant's name on its menu list and making sure our requests were accommodated. She replied to all my e-mails right away. Our server Dejan is also wonderful - making us feel like we are VIPs! The staff are friendly and making sure our needs were all met. The brunch menu we had - presentation is 5 out of 5. The salmon, chicken wings and the empanada trio were a hit. Will rate them 5 out of 5 for the taste. Our BIG thank you to Claudia, Dejan and the rest of Ventanas Restaurant and Lounge staff for making this celebration so special.

Food: Flavor of the food was good but the flavor of some of the sides were not what we expected. If…read moreyou are a fan of Asian, Hispanic fusion food this is the spot for you. Steak was cooked well to the Medium Rare temp that we like and was seasoned well. Calamari and shrimp were hot and crispy. Shishito peppers were spicy with a sweet and savory flavor to which I thought paired well with the steak. Broccolini were seasoned and cooked well with a salty and savory flavor. A5 Wagyu roll was very enjoyable but could have used just a bit more meat for the price. Maduros were way too sweet for our liking as they are already sweet itself, but they get drenched in a honey chili sauce as well. For the food we had received and price paid, we've definitely experienced better for cheaper. Felt as if the cost is also more for the ambiance and experience. The place is very nice and aesthetic with a live DJ on a Friday night, but tables and seating arrangements are very close to each other. Side note: Its common to go to restaurants where a party of 4 or more means auto gratuity added, but to be automatically charged 18% for only a party of 2? Thankfully, our server took care of us through the night. Just a heads up for anyone who prefers to tip based on service rather than a preset percentage on the bill.

This has been our regular spot for a few drinks on a Friday night or dancing on a Saturday night…read more Sadly, the overall experience, quality and customer service has deteriorated over the course of the past year, that we finally agreed that we have to find another place. Last night was the last straw. A tiny bottle (caneca) of Buchanan's whiskey was $75? At any Colombian spot, the waitress not only brings the bottle to your table, but she prepares your first drink: puts ice in the glass, opens the bottle, and serves. The new staff is terrible and the girl dropped the bottle on the table and held her hand out to get paid. The DJ's are clearly amateurs. The volume is terribly loud (too loud to be comfortable and causes the speakers to sound distorted), they have zero ability to read the room not anticipate guest music selections based on the age group in the room and what dancers are responding to. For example, they played 4 of the most-unpopular salsas, but then went into a 12 song raggaeton/urbano set while only 6 people were dancing and 125 people were sitting down. The final straw was when the DJ's were running at full volume (speakers cutting off) then the power to the building turns off and emergency lights turn on. Well, this also turned off the AC and management was incapable of getting it turned back on again so within 10 minutes with a packed club with no AC, it was a sauna and difficult to breathe, so we left. Sadly, we must find another spot because Zona has deteriorated so much.

Shortly after our meal, we experienced what can only be described as severe food poisoning. It has now been two days of intense stomach pain and not being able to leave the bathroom. The only items we all shared were the ceviche appetizer and the guacamole, and those were the only common foods we ate. This has been an extremely unpleasant and painful experience. I'm very disappointed and truly hope the restaurant takes food safety seriously so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Unfortunately, I will never be returning.
