This place has been on my radar for a few years but I never had a reason to go. I recently decided…read moreto come here for a wedding anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service and the food quality. Started off with oysters, wine and fresh bread. I could tell that the butter was house made and asked for extra because it was that good. Had the beef duo as the main course. I found it to be satisfying and also much better value than the steak frites. All of the items I received were very detail oriented and as well as fresh. We were seated on one side on the restaurant that I believe was blocked off for more special occasions. The other side of the restaurant seemed to have tables placed more closely to one another.

I love how we were greeted with energy and they were truly happy to see us. This walk to our upstairs table was like getting a tour. We requested a table that would allow us to have easy conversation with our friends who were joining. And it was a great table, looking down on the main dining room. The only real dig I had was the lack of lighting upstairs. I literally could not see the beauty of my dishes because it was too dark. There was a flickering light above us which was taped over, but I do think they need to reconsider whether it's bigger candles, or even some type of table lighting. Wines by the glass, would have hoped for a bigger selection. The white cranberry cosmo was terrific. Great menu! French traditional favorites coupled with a creative collection of Spanish and Italian dishes as well. Chicken, beef, and super great choices of fish. I honestly didn't spend time looking at appetizers as I went right to the salads and entrees. And yes, interesting creative selection of salads. I had a beet and hummus salad. My wife had a kale and grapefruit salad and there were others to choose from, with the exception of no Caesar nor plain house for the boring pallet. I had scallops and pistachios and it was very good. There was branzino and also a beef duo of flank steak and oxtail ordered. All the dishes were really well prepared, seasoned and beautifully presented. Again, I would have enjoyed seeing what was on my fork for each bite. Dessert menu was okay. I thought a bit overpriced and just not overly appealing. Too many caramel offerings, and not enough diversity. We did offer their version of a chocolate lava cake but it was like a tapas portion of dessert. It was good, but 3 bites worth, hardly shareable. It would be unfair not to mention the great service. Our waiter was chill, let us chat away for over 3 hours. Never felt rushed and all his helpers knew exactly who was getting what. Well done .... I'd go back in a heartbeat.

As my original review indicates, we have eaten here multiple times, which we continue to do. We…read moretypically dine out at least once to twice a week and this is always one of the regular places we choose because the food and service are consistently above average to excellent. This review is from our meal on August 30, 2026. While the menu has been changed from time to time, it does not happen frequently. However, there are often a variety of special additions. One item on the menu we have ordered in every visit is the shrimp appetizer, which I mentioned in my original review. It used to be called shrimp arrabbiata. Now it's called garlic shrimp (according to the online menu, but believe it's baked garlic shrimp on the actual menu). By any name it's not to be missed. I believe it used to be 8 shrimps, which at some point was trimmed to 7 shrimps). The size are large to near jumbo, easily more than a single bite, easily U-25, but maybe not quite U-15 sized. The sauce is so good it's worth finishing with the consistently delicious warm rolls being used to soak up every last drop, or spooned out of the bowl like soup. It's spicy, but not overpowering. This is a must order for shrimp lovers. I usually order one of the many house-pastas. My wife is usually ordering one of the fresh fish offerings. The scallops are a hit too, as is the risotto, though I still nix the chorizo, which I'm typically then rewarded with extra crab. The service is very accommodating in every respect, willing to make every reasonable adjustment. Desserts are typically good, but also typical to all Italian eateries. They used to have a must-have mousse concoction that disappeared after a while. That was a mistake, as it was exceptional.

Kind of feels like we ordered half the menu but we just couldn't decide what to get so we got a little bit of everything. Our server was nice and fairly attentive. He explained the specials and would come by every so often to make sure everything was okay. The food was delicious. Some standouts were the ravioli appetizer, very delicious and the rigatoni with truffle butter, which was a special, was also a favorite of mine. I would say the food was a little bit on the saltier side and maybe they could tone that down a bit. Other then that, laid back spot. Good food.

I've been here now twice since my first experience, once at night where there was a cover band and most recently on a sunny warm Saturday where we were able to sit on the patio with our pup. Both experiences were very different, and specially different from my first go around with Just Jakes. The cover bands at night seem pretty cool and the crowd is pretty diverse. I had an OK time and would probably come back although I'd much more prefer to come back and sit on the patio during a warm day/night. We called ahead about stopping by with our puppy and the woman who answered us was extremely nice and attentive. When we arrived she apologized for the patio not being set up but she did her best to make us comfortable. Our server was also very friendly and attentive and overall we enjoyed a couple beers in the patio and were able to just let our dog roam since no one else was there. (they even brought him a waterbowl) We truly look forward to taking the walk to JJ's with our pup and enjoying some cold beers in the patio this summer. read more

I like Just Jakes, but it's good and bad. They're draft beers seem to be copied from another establishment on Walnut St, as do they're wings. Competition is great, but do your own thing. Plus, don't run out of what you have on special that night before 12. Kim Z...none of us realize you're an employee posting a review. Next time, you might not want to include every detail of your experience that was "perfect", right down to the names and how they saved you money by not letting you over order. Your review is nothing more than a press release, because it's not an accurate description of the service there. I love going to this place even if it does have poor service, bad bartenders, and rips off another bar's menu. I always have fun here. Just call it what it is. It's a great college bar with decent enough bar grub. You don't go there to have a great dining experience, you go there to get blasted with your friends. PS Your chick bartenders are terrible. The dude.....on point always. read more

I've been there many times over the years. This place is the definition of inconsistent. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it's mediocre. The one thing that you can always count on is that it's nearly impossible to get a drink at the bar, if there is even only a moderate sized crowd. The slowest bartenders I've ever seen and some of them can be snotty if you take to long to order. They used to have some good bands that brought in a lot of fun people, but in the past year or so it's mostly lame unknown acts that play there. The patio is nice and they've done a decent job making it seem like you're not sitting on a busy street, but again, the service can be either good or terrible. I used to recognize all of the people who work there, now it's a different crew every time we go. It's an ok place if you're not doing anything else and the menu is pretty reasonably priced, but it used to be a lot better. read more

This place is absolutely disgusting and attracts the wrong type of people. They allow people to come in that have reputations to be trouble makers. The bouncers are extremely rude and obnoxious. Unless you want to be surrounded by ignorant obnoxious men, I would highly recommend to find somewhere else to actually have a good time. When I came here, a friend of mine was hit in the face by another man at the bar for no apparent reason. The bouncers then allowed that man to run away without calling the police. My friend had to be taken to the hospital because he was knocked out from falling backwards. Supposedly this bar has no security cameras which I find to be pretty suspicious. The owner of this bar should be ashamed of himself. No one deserves to be treated this way. read more

I want to like this place a lot more than I should. This place is great if your looking for a dive bar/hole in the wall, but the staff and customers make it difficult to like. I've been here a handful of times after work and it's been the same thing. Lazy bartenders who seem to be only interested in their regulars and mover slower than molasses. Annoying college kids who come for the specials so they can get drunk that make it a place where I would be hesitant in going. What else would you expect from a place that has beer pong on a Thursday night. Interestingly enough, their draft selections seems to mimic that of Egan & Sons with exception of the good stuff like Stone and Dogfish Head. read more

I use to go out here with my friends and brother all the time and his friends. Some women at the front who collects $ at the door(there are two of them) were talking to me, my brother, and my boyfriend all night. Next thing my brother tries to go in there with his friends and that women accused him of RAPE! I was there and they banded him. I will be contacting them with police on a hate crime about this because he is the only black one of his friends. The owner and manager were quick to believe her and never called me, my brother, or my boyfriend. There are cameras there as well and she needs to be fired. Suing for this discrimination would be something I want to act on as well. read more

Biggest complaint about this craphole is when I was there at closing with a female friend, and this big muttonheaded bouncer starts screaming at us to get out, and when we did not move fast enough, he came really close, screaming louder as if he was going to try and put his halfwit hands on us. Lucky for this sh!thead he did not, I have seen bouncers try to act like cops and underestimated certain customers they try to victimize. Second complaint is some of the barmaids, there is a porky one with a really crap attitude. Third complaint is the place is generally a musty dump.

As we sipped, he talked about the different varieties of espresso martinis he has made and I hope to come back again to try another. Super attentive and very funny but not in a overbearing way. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND EXCELLENT COCKTAILS! His beer recommendations were on point too, the only thing missing was food...he also gave me a cold brew with the perfect amount of sweetness! Plus his hair is absolutely gorgeous

Recently I tried the "Baby Metal" (Oka Yuzu Japanese Vodka, Kingfisher Sochu, Umenoyado Yuzushu Sake, Giffard Framboise, Honey, Lime) which is delicious and refreshing. Pricing is pretty average for most upscale cocktail bars in the area. Service is friendly and you order at the bar. There are plenty of tables available and some bar seating. It does get pretty busy after shows at the Wellmont Theater next door or after dinner on a Friday/Saturday night. Looking forward to my next visit!

I got the turkey club and my bread was over toasted however the sandwich was still great and my family really enjoyed the place. The ambiance is very casual and if you want to stop by to watch a game And have a quick meal this would be it.

First time going to Yesterdays. For just a hang out, eat and drink it was pretty good. Food was…read moreok, drinks were good. However, my friends and I went for pool. It still was a fun atmosphere, but the tables need some serious maintenance in order to truly attract pool players. The balls are even in worse condition. The table cloth is nicked every square inch, the rails have dead spots all over. The balls were the worst I've ever seen. They are nicked, chipped, dull and probably have never been cleaned. So for pool, I'd give this place a 1 star. For food , ambience and drinks, I'd give it three or even four. But because of the horrible condition of the pool tables and balls I could only give this place 3 stars.

I stopped in Bar Franco for drink before dinner nearby. It was literally just when they opened but…read moreeverything was ready to go and Alex the bartender seemed to already have some creative ideas in mind! He asked what I like. I told him the spirits and style(s) I prefer. Then I simply said "surprise me". His creation was a take on the Paper Plane, a bit less tart and perfect for a broiling hot day outside. Two other dinners guests joined me soon after and had equally impressive drinks. In fact, the entire dinner party returned at the end of the night so everyone could have their own experience! The space is small, but the atmosphere is very intentional and there is a great, low seating area in the front window that can fit several people comfortably. That's where we sat later as a group. If you've been meaning to try this place too, make it a priority next time you are downtown! Note: Bar Franco also has a food menu connected to the restaurant next door.

Their more popular items were out of stock which kinda sucked but we continued with our order. I had a catfish Cesar salad and the fish was nice and crispy. Salad was fresh as it should be. The wings were also crispy. Collard greens had excellent flavor as did the Mac and cheese. The star of the show was this mousse cup we got. It was mouth watering. Not to sweet just enough to kick that sweet tooth to the curb. The place was festive for the holidays. Drinks and food were great and it deserves a follow up visit.

Garden State Tavern is a restaurant off Passaic Ave, with easy access of the main road and close to…read morethe highway. I found it very convenient that the location has a lot of parking. There is an entrance with a ramp and stairs. I want to say that the workers at Garden State Tavern are the best! Everyone is extremely kind and welcoming. I attended a private event as this location. The room that they have is big, with plenty of windows, and very clean. They allowed us to bring in a band so having our own live music was great! They offered food in buffet style. This included pizza, chicken, and sliders. I would rate the food a 3/5. The staff was very attentive during my time there, always asking if we needed anything else.

However, the service was weak. Don't get me wrong our server was very nice and personable once he "finally" made it to our table. But the overall impression was that they were understaffed, overwhelmed and very disorganized. The appearance of the tavern is essentially unchanged from its predecessor, Brook Tap House. Which really isn't a bad thing. Tastefully appointed with lots of TV's to watch your favorite game. I just wish that they would invest in some sound deadening materials as the dining area can get very loud. I will definitely dine at GST again. Hopefully they can get their service figured out before our next visit.
