I decided to give this place another try, after trying another location a while ago and I'm so glad…read morewe did!! Staff is friendly, sometimes a little hard to find even though there were only 4 other tables seated on a Monday night. We loved the seafood combo. We liked the head-on shrimp, mussels, and snow crab. We also liked the potatoes and the garlic noodles as a side were so delicious!! We were pleasantly surprised. We didn't get drinks, but they seemed to have a fun selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. This place is I would say casual and fun to go with friends as opposed to a date night haha as it gets messy with everything going on. Definitely recommend next time you're craving seafood boil!

I can't believe there are so many good recommendations.....my son suggested that they are fake put here by staff or owners to keep their rating high....one thing is for sure they will never get another red cent of our money?!!! Stay clear....

5 Stars?! Yes and well deserved. I had the crab soup (delicious) and beef sandwich (also…read moredelicious), but the French fries are out of this world for me. Well seasoned enough that I can just ask for a basket of that as a meal every time. My mouth waters just recounting the flavors...yes plural. The pickles are wonderful too although not made inhouse. BUT, the final seal of approval is that despite being allergic to shellfish and gambled with the soup...no dermo reaction...which means properly cleaned/handled without the loss of flavors. I'm willing to make the two bridge trip for another visit...maybe bring a cooler for "extra leftovers" (fries haul) .

Caldwell Seafood Market & Café 390 Bloomfield Ave…read moreCaldwell, NJ 07006 Tel # (973) 226 - 2031 A Spectacular & Exceptional Birthday Dinner My wife surprised me with a birthday dinner last night at Caldwell Seafood Market & Café. If you are looking for fresh, high quality seafood, exceptional service and a casual, cozy atmosphere this is the place! We had a 6:15 dinner reservation and upon entering they place was almost full. We were greeted by Rosalie who showed us to our table and handed us their menu along with the nightly specials. This place is a BYOB and we brought a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal, a rose' for my wife and a chardonnay for me. After several minutes Rosalie came to ask if we had any questions regarding the menu or if we needed more time to decide. Being ready we placed our order. We started off with calamari salad, a lovely platter of calamari with vinegar peppers, celery, olives and lemon & oil dressing. Delicious! Next we ordered a dozen little neck clams on the half shell. They were plump, meaty and so very fresh, some of the best I've eaten/served in a long time. Next we shared a dozen oysters on the half shell, again super fresh, briny, plump and delicious. I highly recommend trying these appetizers. On their menu they have a section entitled "Build Your Own Fish". You get to pick your fish (salmon, Snapper, Swordfish, Halibut, Cod, Grouper, Flounder, or Bronzino. Then you get to choose how you want it prepared - "Siciliano style, Grilled, Oreganato, Cajun, Almond Crusted, Broiled or Livorness Style. My wife order Halibut done with lemon, wine and butter, it came with mixed vegetables and perfectly prepared roasted potatoes. The halibut was a very nice portion and was expertly cooked. I ordered the Halibut done Cajun style. It was pan seared with Cajun spices served in a scampi sauce with rice and beans. It was just spectacular; I was extremely happy with my selection. Without being overbearing both Rosalie and Kenny checked on us from time to time to see if we needed anything. We finished our meal with freshly brewed coffee and Tartufo. I can't say enough great things about this dining experience!!! It was a great, satisfying, delicious, fun, and a fantastic birthday celebration. I want to recognize both Rosalie and Kenny as being a great team, great servers and truly an asset to Caldwell Seafood, they truly made the experience a night to remember.

Interesting menu…read morefeaturing many varieties of primarily grilled, extremely fresh local fish, including some you don't often find in these parts, including Grouper, Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Swordfish, Halibut, etc. While the "somewhat pricey" menu doesn't necessarily reflect the laid back, extremely casual atmosphere, the extensive fish & seafood options, along with innumerable different sauces & preparation options; plus the accompanying fresh veggie & potatoes (or rice) sides, assures customers of a satisfying dinner - albeit not exactly a "fine dining" experience. My lovely wife, who is perpetually on the lookout for "healthy" restaurant options, definitely enjoyed our dinner. We look forward to returning soon, hopefully next time with friends.

A little less than a year ago we visited P.F. Seafood Market & Restaurant in West Caldwell and it…read morewas wonderful. Sadly, our most recent visit was very much the opposite. When we arrived (around 7pm) there was only one occupied table in the restaurant. The room was cold and drafty, as if they were trying to save money on the heating. We had to change tables twice trying to avoid the chill which was forcing my mother to keep her winter coat on. On our first visit, the breadbasket included some delicious garlic bread. That was gone this time. Previously, the staff immediately set out an ice bucket and glasses when they saw our bottle of white wine. This time we had to ask for both, twice. Throughout the meal, we watched our waiter standing in the doorway to the kitchen engrossed in whatever he was doing with his cell phone. Given that the restaurant was virtually empty, the fact that we couldn't get his attention when we started to have issues was frustrating. I chose the Calamari Chino again as an appetizer. I enjoyed it so much on our first visit that it was the one thing I knew I wanted again. Unfortunately, I ended up sending it back. Although it looked like the same dish at first glance, the crispy and tender calamari I loved the first time was now soggy and rubbery. My mother again went with the Grilled Norwegian Salmon, which she enjoyed. My father had the Paccheri & Shrimp alla Vodka, which is described on the menu as sautéed wild shrimp, over paccheri pasta with a creamy vodka sauce, oyster mushrooms, & green peas. He wasn't a fan of this. It seemed to be missing both the oyster mushrooms, & the green peas. He also described it as being "goopy" and thought it tasted artificially thickened in some way. I ordered the New Coconut Jumbo Shrimp, which is served with grilled asparagus, white rice, in an orange marmalade sauce. I had high hopes for this since coconut shrimp is a favorite of mine. The presentation was quite nice, but the shrimp was overcooked, and the coconut coating was nearly burnt. I believe it had been left in the deep fryer too long. Frankly, if I had not sent back the calamari I would have sent this back as well. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant still looks nice, but it seems like they're just going through the motions now. I don't see us returning.

My husband had the orange roughy with shrimp fried rice and is still talking about how good it was the next day. Service was on point-they did not rush us. We were downstairs which I think is more casual than upstairs but still very nice. Portions were appropriate. Prices were kind of high but they are high everywhere and right for the quality.

We both added the carolina and memphis bbq sauce blend. Niether was spicy & the combination was sweet and tangy. The sides we tried included the potato salad and the corn bread. Both meat options were PHENOMENAL!!!!! The quality of meat was high. Each (brisket and pulled pork) was seasoned appropriately. The flavor was smokey, & the meat was cooked VERY well. You could tell that the brisket had been smoked for at least 8-12 hours. The meat separated beautifully using a plastic fork. There wasn't one tough piece of meat in the bunch. The fat cap (the fat on the edge of the meat) was not overwelming at all and melted like butter. (When the server cut the meat i could tell he was considerate and he included a fair portion of fat cap and meat. Not an just an overwhelming amount of fat or a dry portion without the cap.) The potato salad and corn bread were right down the middle, absolutely no complaints there. But the smoked meat options are definitely where they shine! They seem to be a small business go support them! The food was great. There seem to be some bad reviews but my experience was great. My advice - get the brisket or pulled pork. The service was good. The portions were great, large enough to fill us up AND have some left over. (I skipped lunch today so I was famished and I still didnt eat all of the food.) The staff was super helpful and kind. I will be going out of my way to find their food truck in the future, wherever they are. (I don't even typically write reviews so this is a lot for me.) To management: Thank you for coming out to feed us. I skipped lunch so this was amazing.

I waited about 10 minutes and it was ready. It was nice and hot. I put catch up on my fries and honey mustard on my chicken fingers. The chicken fingers were nice and crispy, as were the French Fries. Unfortunately, they don't have a TO GO menu. One of the guys online said you have to go to the website to get their menu. The food was very good. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes chicken fingers. Next time I will try the Fish (Cod) & Chips.

Unfortunately, my overall experience was very disappointing due to poor service. Our server, a shorter male who I believe was named Ricardo, took our order. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and yuca fries. After waiting 25 minutes, I asked a staff member serving steak to check on the order, and he agreed. After 45 minutes, I followed up again with another staff member, a woman with reddish hair in a ponytail, and asked her to check with the kitchen. After waiting over an hour with no update, when she passed back, I informed her that I no longer wanted the food, and she acknowledged my request. Throughout this entire time, our server never once checked in on us. When he finally came to the table, I confirmed that my order had been canceled, and he said yes. He then proceeded to tell us that cooking takes time and that we needed to be patient. I dine out regularly and understand reasonable wait times, but the lack of communication and follow-up was unacceptable. The comment made by our server felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially given the circumstances. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, and I will likely just stick to New York in the future.
