I really like that the person running the front of house brought the orders to the table, greeted frequent patrons with a "nice to see you again", and asked everyone if the food was good.

The food was tasty, with a good selection of sandwiches and Mediterranean options. However, it didn't quite stand out enough to give it a perfect rating. The service was friendly and efficient, and the small, cozy atmosphere made it a comfortable spot for a casual meal. While it's not the most remarkable place, it's a solid choice for a laid-back bite in the area. read more

The TV playing a PBS program is from 2003, but it's more about the food right? Good selection of menu items, from salads to soups sandwiches and smoothies. Pricing is based on weight of the salad, so I was a little taken aback that two salads (add avocado), and two seltzer's were just short of $30. The place is nestled in the plaza close a bookstore, coffee shop, and several delis of varying flavors. So they do have some competition and without any outdoor seating available I think it's a rough time for them. However, right across the way is a little park with benches and a few tables, so you can sit and eat safely. I imagine they handle a lot of delivery and takeaway orders. Bottom line is the food is fresh, flavorful, and I'll be back for a good salad.

One word... WOW. The…read moreCorner in Upper Montclair has that rare mom-and-pop feel that immediately makes you feel welcome. It's cozy, genuine, and the kind of place where you can tell there's a lot of love going into what comes out of the kitchen. And speaking of that kitchen--you can see it from pretty much every seat in the house. Watching several cooks navigate what looks like an incredibly tiny space is almost mesmerizing. Somehow, they move around each other seamlessly, and the best part? The food comes out FAST. My wife went with the hummus, and it was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. But the surprise star on the side was the salted dried kale chip--such a simple little addition, but ridiculously good. Then came my pancakes. Out of this world. Small in diameter, but super thick, with a beautifully crispy exterior giving way to an interior that was fluffy, light, and airy. I've tried making this style of pancake at home countless times, and I still have absolutely no idea how to get that texture. The syrup and berries were the perfect finishing touches. Everything just worked. I've made and had soooo many pancakes in my life, and this is easily top 3 best. The Corner is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left. I'll be dreaming about getting back to this Corner.

Maybe the experience would have been different dining in, so I'd be open to trying them again and ordering something else next time.

The second time we had short ribs again and 2 of us had chicken marsala. For dessert we had cheesecake and tartufo. With the exception of the calamari which was chewy and cooked a bit too long, everything else was very good. The short ribs were tender and very tasty. The sauce on the pasta with shrimp was flavorful, and the chicken dishes both times were really good. On both occasions we all really liked our meals. Also, the prices are very reasonable and the portions big. Regarding the service... excellent!

Each server was attentive but allowed us time to enjoy our meals without feeling rushed. Also, they gave us a thank you card with a card for a complimentary drink at the next visit. I thought this was totally old school charm sweet. This really is a nice restaurant. I totally recommend.

So I finally came in with my fiancé, and we both walked out agreeing -- this is the most tender, well-seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella you could imagine. Also his stupid cow mascot has a monocle. A MONACLE! It's a sandwich SOCIETY. And you need to join. I'm a chef. I've worked with just about every cheese under the sun and more mozzarellas than I can count -- retail, commercial, local. Nothing compares to the quality and freshness coming out of this shop. It's also remarkably versatile; I've used it across a wide range of applications in my own cooking and it holds up beautifully every time. Now the sandwiches. I am a sucker for a Thanksgiving sandwich, and The Pilgrim -- turkey, stuffing, cranberry, gravy -- was the most delectable one I've ever had, and somehow the mootz worked perfectly in it. My future husband got The Salty Cow, the hot roast beef with mozzarella, which was an absolute banger. I told him right there in the shop that he could get away with just about anything in this marriage, so long as he walks through the door with a sandwich from here. I'm using Greg for all my future events. And one more thing: if you took the time to read this whole review and you still haven't put Salty Cow in your maps app to take you there right now, you're messing up.
