    English Garden. Tanqueray 10 with melon and egg whites.
    Ron M.

    We decided to try this location for an in-between time period...not lunch and not dinner on a Saturday afternoon where seating is only at the bar (we love sitting at the bar) with a bar menu. Many of the same items as dinner are available, with the same pricing. The ambiance is upscale attempt at chic. Service is very quick and attentive with a relaxed friendly style. The menu drinks are good, not killer. An off menu vodka martini was good but could have been better. The octopus with lentils surprised is with a very tender octopus and tasty lentil. The 12 oz sirloin steak was good, but seemed to be choice versus prime. For the price I expect prime. However it was prepared just right and was very tasty. While the name prepares you for French faire, that we did not find. Maybe it was the time of day.

    Amazing food! Went to dinner with a friend on a random weekend. The restaurant was very nice and super open! The bill was definitely on the pricier side but we also had three apps, two entrees and several cocktails. The duo of meat entree was delicious! The meat was cooked perfectly. It was slightly salty but still very tasty. It even reheated well for lunch the next day. The oysters were ok but octopus with lentils and the tomato and prosciutto toast were delicious! The only down point was that I was super full! Drinks were great and not super sweet like most cocktails tend to be now. Would definitely go back.

    I got out of work early and decided to come here for happy hour. I have never been, but the reviews were good and it looked like a beautiful space. Well the place is beautiful and it is a nice place to meet friends or a romantic dinner. I had the cucumber gimlet. The perfect summer drink: crisp, refreshing & the perfect balance of gin. 5 stars. Now the reason for the 2 stars: the patatas bravas (World cup special) were god awful. Al dente potatoes...not a bit of crispness anywhere. I really wished server would have warned me, but he only came back when I wanted the check. If I come back-drinks only. I ended up going to Ani Ramen across street because I was still hungry.

    One of my favorite French restaurants in Jersey and great l for celebrating a special occasion! It was Mother's day, so understandably busy for a weekend dinner. The inside has both a main dining hall and a greenhouse, which feels like basically sitting on a covered patio with well kept shrubbery and ambient lighting. It's a neat balance of modern and open while still feeling cozy. I think my favorite dish is the ramp fava bean toast -- the umami from the purée balanced with the crunch of the toast and the brightness from the pickled ramps. I'd also recommend the steak two ways -- both cuts cooked perfectly to medium rare -- and the lobster linguine was delicately fragrant, buttery, and slightly acidic all at once. The chips and eggplant dip (kind of like hummus consistency) was kind of a fun, shareable starter too. I will say that I wasn't impressed with the ceviche or branzino our waiter recommended it. The branzino particularly came out a bit dry, and more of the tomato-olive-caper side or dressing would've helped. And while our waiter answered our questions, service felt a little more on the less attentive side.

    Great drinks. Smaller menu with great options. This place will definitely have you trying something new. I love the inside dining area that looks like the outdoors. Our server was very prepared and provided us suggestions for what would be paired best with what we like. We have the Tuna Tartar, Kale & Grapefruit salad, West Coast oysters, Beef Duo, Salmon, Shrimp & Asparagus. We also had a side of mashed potatoes and fingerling potatoes.

    Hands down one of the best restaurants in Montclair! The food is great, drinks are on point and the service unmatched! Their lychee martinis are amazing and the steak frites is top tier. The oysters are super fresh and the desserts?! YUM!

    Shashuka. It's very average.

    Food is average (and I think overpriced). Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. They are attentive and very polite. Street parking.

    Very good! My husband took me here last Friday on my birthday. We loved our server Liz, and the food! Ambience is gorgeous too - they have a beautiful indoor set-up with 2 floors and a large outside covered patio area that is gorgeous with lights and little water sculptures. It's no wonder people love it here! For girls night, special occasion or date night this is THE spot. We tried the Ramp & fava bean tartine, the herb crusted salmon and steak frites. Everything was very good - little pricey for my steak but quality was good. Would absolutely come back - parking garage around the corner if needed.

    As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a host who made us felt like valued guests not just customers. Exceptional hospitality ! Special recognition to Conrad who served our table tonight. He was very attentive and thoughtful from the moment we sat down and he walked us through the menu. He constantly checking in with us to make sure everything went well. He cleared the table after each course and replaced settings ...... etc That's what you expect from one of those Michelin starred restaurants. I was surprised that a local restaurant has such amazing service. Food of course was delicious and wonderfully plated. It's definitely a fine dining experience but in a casual local setting. Will definitely go again.

    My husband and I dined at this restaurant for lunch for the first time and we had a great experience. Food was delicious and the atmosphere did not disappoint. Our waiter Esdras was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely visit again!

    Salmon. Great. Light but filling.

    Celebrated my anniversary here and couldnt have asked for a better night. The restaurant itself has both indoor and outdoor areas. the outdoor has a covering, some plants, plenty of lighting. its a little cramped, but we liked it. we had exceptional and attentive service from start to end. we each had the elvis parsely (loved the usage of parsely here, such a smooth drink!) and the bang bang. both were perfect. they were strong, but not overwhelming and picture worthy. the lobster bisque was good, but this is a 1 and done from me. the lobster flavor follows throughout each spoonful, but there is not any lobster meat here. they do give you a toasted crouton with some cold lobster clumps on top of it with a mouse. i loved this! i personally wouldnt get the bisque again because it wasnt buttery, it was more of a savory seasoning. the GOUGerES, comte cheese puff are a must get. very sharable. soft, but a hint of a crispy outter shell. and a hint of cheese flavor comes through. my date got the SEAFOOD & CORN MAFALDINE, shrimp, jumbo lump crab, crispy fennel, artichokes. we basically licked his plate. to be honest, i wish i got this. the pasta had the perfect bite, there was ample corn and crab meat. the sauce that drowned the dish was the real star of the show. a hint of sweet from the corn, but not overwhelming. i grabbed a classic - GRILLED SALMON, fava beans, market zucchini, confit tomatoes. salmon was cooked more on the raw side, i personally would have liked a little more well done, but it still tasted great. this dish was incredibly refreshing but filling. the zucchini spiral pasta has a nice bite to it. overall i liked my dish, everything was cooked well, and it was great for my stomach which tends to act up.

    Loved the ambiance and food here! Beef and oxtail dish(5/5) very creative and flavorful Cocktails - a bit on the sugary side Bread - great! Service was pretty decent too!

    Grilled chicken souvlaki
    Lisa P.

    I would rate this place a 3.5 overall. It has a great green room sitting area that gives an outdoor garden feel indoor. I went for brunch so my friend and I ended up doing an al carte option. We ordered the baba ganoush for appetizer. It came with crunchy crackers and was overall creamy and yummy. For entrees we ordered the French toast and the grilled chicken souvlaki. Both were delicious the French toast was soft and not overly sweet. The grilled chicken souvlaki had nice charred grills and tasted fresh and flavorful with the cucumber tomato salad, tzatziki and the fluffy pita. For drinks my friend got the autumn solstice and I got the bee calm. I liked the autumn solstice better it was more up my alley for a cocktail. The service was a little slow as it took us a while to get the check. Initially it was busy but then it slowed down.

    Espresso, martini, dirty martini, two Hennessy side cars and espresso shot

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.

Most recently was last night and that was my last straw. The music was incredibly and unnecessarily loud which they knew because they told us they'd turn it down before we got the chance to ask. Next, there was one waitress on the floor, clearly overwhelmed. Told us she would be back with water but came back almost 20 mins later. We ordered our wine when she came back because who knows how long it would take to receive it. Another 20 mins, maybe more. We watched her seat several groups and I literally had to scream across the room to get her attention and to remind her of the bottle we ordered, which she had the nerve to appear annoyed about. We asked her if we could move from our tables to a nearby couch which she said yes. Before we had a the chance to finish the bottle the GM comes over and tells us to move our seats and that he would take care of us (NEVER DID NOR DID HE CHECK IN). This is the same GM who asked me to give the place another try after the last issues we encountered where they screwed up our checks due their own carelessness. I should've raised more of an issue and questioned him more. But nevertheless we move to these two musty smelling seats. At that point we left and decided that would be the absolute last time.

Everything was fantastic though, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. The pork croquettes and the pigs in a blanket were my absolute favorite. Both delicious and a twist on a classic the anti pasta salad is something I'll probably order every single time. It has everything you want and it's finally chopped with a ton of cheese on top. Where do you go wrong? The focaccia that comes with the meal is also worth noting. The spread it comes with is super tasty there chili olive oil is spicy with a nice kick. My fiancé loved the meatballs and the smashburger. After gorging ourselves on their delectable, happy hour specials, we asked if we could see the Upstairs venue area. It's a beautiful space and can hold a good amount of people for any function. I hope Bacarosa stays for a while and does well because I'm already planning my next trip there.

Pappardelle with large, meaty scallops was the standout. The Steaks were cooked to medium rare and rare as requested. Daughter enjoyed the ravioli. What wasn't as enjoyable and overdone was the rigatoni. The orrechiette with broccoli rabe and sausage was fine but needed healthy sprinkle of cheese for flavor. We brought our own birthday cake from Gencarellis in nearby Bloomfield which was appreciated and ordered some cappuccino and espresso. They already included a 20% gratuity in the bill which was fine for a large party but based on the actual service felt like overtipping.
