    Super hot plate right before grilling the meat !!!!!
    Angela YJ B.

    First time visiting the Cliffs Steakhouse in Englewood Cliffs. Drove by the 9W soooooo many times, but did not imagine finding a decent steak within Bergen County. (It usually is Benjamin's, Keen, and Peter Luger in NYC). Quite a surprise with the service... and the T- Bone !!!!!! The service was on the spot .... much better than Peter Luger !!!! Individual plate was grilling hot, so that we could grill the meat more if wanted. So, we should start with Rare to slowly heat it to medium rare. Since it was a weekday, we were seated at the very end of the restaurant where it was quiet for the three of us to dine in a comfortable ambience. As for the steak, seemed tid bit dry (or drier than Benjamin's), but we will certainly come back for another !!!!

    Friendly staff with flavorful steak , we ordered porterhouse for two , serve on hot plate , great flavor

    Lava cake

    Love the fireplace! It adds just the right touch if you're lucky enough to get a table near the warmth. It's appears to be in a house and that adds to the comfy factor. Wait staff is very attentive and the food was definitely fresh. The chocolate lava cake came out about 10 minutes after I ordered it and just seemed to have warm chocolate poured over it. I'm used to having to order it at the beginning of the meal so it has time to cook. While it was moist and tasty, it didn't meet my expectations as the "lava" wasn't inside the middle of the cake. Expect to pay as much as any other high end steakhouse. I would definitely return.

    If you're looking for quality steakhouse dining then this place is the spot. From the appetizers to the entrees to the porterhouse it met expectations and upped the bar. Not one item or dish underwhelmed, or felt cheap or old. Quality ingredients were used in all the dishes. My favorite was the flavoring on the steak, and how it came out. They have a very hot plate where they add some butter which will cook some of your steak once placed on your plate. There are a few restaurants that use this technique. But, the flavors this porterhouse had stood out. I've had steaks from a wide range of restaurants, but this place seemed to use the right spices and grilling method. It was crusty on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Very very tasty. The staff here are super friendly, courteous, and very accommodating. All ways around when you need them, and out of site when you don't. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining. The indoor dining feels homey, since the establishment is built on a house-like dwelling. It did not take away from the intimacy feel.

    Half a dozen oysters

    Food was great. The porterhouse for 2 was perfect for my group of 3 because one of us doesn't eat a lot of meat. It came medium rare as we ordered and was flavorful! We added oysters and sautéed mushrooms to share. The oysters were good, nothing special. The mushrooms were okay but didn't seem fresh and came drenched in sauce that made it too heavy of a dish. My only beef with this restaurant is that the service was appallingly bad. We came in and were quickly seated. It was JUST us and one other group at our 3PM reservation during our whole meal. No one else. A bunch of wait staff were loitering around. We waited for a while before a waiter finally asked if we wanted any drinks (at this point, we still had no menu so I'm guessing he just meant water). More time passes and we were finally given a menu. During this whole time, it felt like we were at a funeral. It was quiet and not a single waiter had a pleasant expression in greeting. We decided our orders pretty quickly since the menu was small. The waiters gave us the absolute MINIMAL effort for service. I know this for a fact because they literally couldn't even spare time to give their specials for the day. We had to ASK for it and there was a crap ton of specials that we wouldn't have known about had we not ask. When the bread came, my husband requested for the bread to be warmed up. The waiter came back with it toasted, charred, and hard as a rock. The olive oil was cheap, and the balsamic vinegar tasted like soup dumpling ginger soy sauce (I wish I was joking). Nothing against soy sauce but we were hoping for it to taste like balsamic vinegar... When the sizzling plates came, only two plates sizzled. This is a major highlight for their restaurant's dining experience so you'd think the waiter would consider getting a new hot plate for the sizzle, but no, that was not the case. We had to ask for it. We also had to ask for more water. And for more sizzling plates to cook the rest of the steak. AND for the steak sauce, which was just A1 sauce. Overall, we would not visit again. My friend who was with us and had been the one to recommend the place said she'd give it a 3/10 stars compared to last time she went with a date. Maybe the evening staff is better, or maybe it was because we were stereotyped for being Asian and for potentially tipping poorly, I don't know. Either way, it was a Saturday and we were the first guests - you'd think the staff would be more energized and ready! The decent food does not make up for how we were treated. Save your money and go elsewhere.

    The food was amazing the steak just melted in my mouth. They even chopped my filet for me. Multiple varieties of food all super good. Really kind and amazing staff. Overall an amazing dinner experience.

    My Steak was Good had to return it the first time wanted it medium well and got it rare. My side creamed spinach was good I've had better steak CLIFFS NEEDS TO USE SEASONING! My friends chicken Marsala and mash was good. No drink menu! Don't think I will be returning

    Cheese ravioli
    Jamla R.

    Cozy restaurant that's easy to miss, but worth the visit. My glass was never empty and staff were very attentive. Staff did not wear masks all the time, but I'm not sure what the rules are since I went to the mall earlier and no one was wearing them nor was it being enforced. Anyway, I ordered the sirloin and it was cooked to perfection. I even ordered the cheese ravioli and it was delicious. The table behind me ordered veal and it was sizzling and the smell was mouthwatering.

    Bone in ribeye . Can you hear the sizzling plate and taste this piece of heaven on earth?
    Victor Y.

    Great family restaurant. The staff was tentative and the boss ensure we were having a great meal. The dry aged steak and lamb chop was amazing to perfection. Our side of cream spinach, hash brown and a marinara pasta made the meal perfectly balanced. Can't asked for a better meal with friends and family.

They also offer outdoor dining, just a small area because the inside has plenty of space, even at the bar. I decided to get a classic mojito, buffalo chicken wings with sauce on the side, yucca fries with chimi sauce and my girlfriends ordered oysters, nachos, eggplant coquettes, also buffalo wings and beer along with a passionfruit and coconut mojitos. The drinks were good but not strong enough. I should have ordered some shots lol. The yucca fries were really good with the chimi sauce and my girlfriend enjoyed the oysters with all the toppings but thought they were really small. The eggplants and complementary dinner rolls were the stars of the night, they were delicious and I would ordered plenty on my next visit. As the night began to arrive they were setting up the stage for something like a musical act. The atmosphere began to change and the place became more intimate. A bit romantic and that was our que to leave. My overall experience was good, I had an evening and I will do another visit. I'm giving a thumb up! Happy Yelping!

Not only did they make no gesture to accommodate them in any other way, this is an EXTREME ADA violation, and could have very well been a lawsuit. The manager, Jimmy, sat and watched as both my grandmother and great uncle struggled to take the stairs, no hand of assistance. When I approached him, I was told 'what's the big deal, so you had to take some stairs'. I told him my uncle fell last year and was hospitalized for 6 months, if you see someone in a walker, why would you do this? His response 'I don't know what you want me to do, buy you a drink?'. Not only was their overall service awful and food barely edible, this is one of the most unaccommodating, disrespectful, and genuinely unsafe establishments I've ever been to.

The menu is simple, but covers everything we love. Server came by with warm, fresh, fluffy seasoned pita and a dish of seasoned olive oil. Great start. Started with Cheese Borek and Fried Liver cubes -- The Borek was the best we have had and we order that anytime we dine Mediterrean. The 4 Borek were fat, fried to perfection, and their filling of Feta and spinach was hot, melty and super tasty. We love love Fried Liver, and Lulu does it to perfection. The portion was huge, and dressed with red onion and lemon juice, it sang. We decided to split an order of Manti, those delightful tiny lamb dumplings tossed with burnt butter and garlic yogurt -- holy holy. We ran some liver around that sauce, and were glad we saved some of the bread to sop everything up. So good. Ordered the Kunefe, as we always do. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the table -- so if you are thinking about it, order it before they take your dinner plates away. The Kunefe was good. We think they forgot to add to the syrup it comes in -- but maybe that's the way they do it. It won't disappoint, but I missed that rosewater sugar syrup we are used to.
