Classic Dive Bar, It's good at what it is. Dark inside, dated decor, etc. Never had the food, just a couple beers here.

I don't know how but we got two seats at the bar on a Saturday night!!!…read more We came for dinner and drinks, although it was my turn to be designated driver. ;( I did get to sample the affogato martini and am now determined to order it next time. My eyes immediately went to the kilogram of mozzarella but my spouse was not persuaded. I was 0 for 2! But then I ordered the chicken and sausage Milanese. Wow. The two are pounded together and breaded with a sweeet pepper based sauce. It was astoundingly good. And large! I took half home and had the rest for lunch. This place absolutely meets the hype. I hope to be back!

It was really hard to get a normal time reservation at this spot. But we managed to snag a bar top…read moretable And when we got there, we realized why it was so hard.The only have like 6 real tables at the restaurant. Vibes are cool. I like the open concept kitchen and the music was definitely on point. However , the food was mostly disappointing , I would say. The mozzarella delicious. Butter cake delicious. But all three pastas that we ordered were definitely not worth the price. I was really excited for the spicy rigatoni that I got and I asked the guy how spicy it was. And he said, 2 out of 10, but when I got it, it was definitely 0 out of 10 spicy. He said too many people complained about the spice level. So they dumbed it down, but it just tasted like tomato sauce with no spice at all. Unfortunate. There were a couple of other appetizers or things on the menu I would be willing to try, but I won't be running back to this spot anytime soon. Especially since it was a good distance away from me.

PJ Finnegan's 274 Fairview Ave…read more Westwood, NJ 07675 Portabella Ciabatta If you need a break from the traditional hamburger and fries, the Portabella ciabatta is the perfect alternative. In lieu of typical meat and frites is a grilled mushroom on a ciabatta roll with a side salad. It's definitely a healthy alternative and a meal that a cow won't hate! #pjfinnegans #portabellaciabatta #downtownwestwood

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Sliced Steak Sandwich was solid. Strips of steak were a bit chewy, but the "famous mustard sauce" was unique and actually very delicious. Fries were extra crispy too + Garden Burger was tasty and very filling along with the side salad + Chicken Sienna was solid. A very traditional pasta dish with red sauce that our kids loved + Very, very friendly staff and customers + Service was excellent throughout the evening and our waitress was very accommodating + We encountered an issue with our food order and the pub went above and beyond to rectify it + The Westwood town area is very busy on Friday evenings, but there is surprisingly still plenty of street parking THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - A bit tight inside, but to be expected for an Irish pub RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Pub was already half full at 5:45 PM, but still plenty of open tables throughout the evening

Osso Buco 343 Broadway…read moreHillsdale, NJ 07642 (201) 664-1600 You Owe It To Yourself To Experience A Great Restaurant with Great Food & Service My wife and I enjoyed a great dinning experience here on Friday, June 20, 2025, and so should you. Jimmy who bought the place two months ago is a very detailed hands on owner ensuring everyone for a great noteworthy dinning event. My wife and I started with an appetizer of grilled Arthur Avenue Sausage over spinach. Jimmy asked how I liked it and I told him I could go for fifty more orders! It was exceptional as was the bread. My wife ordered the Scallop Special (4 large sea scallops perfectly grilled) which was accompanied by asparagus risotto. Needless to say she was completely satisfied and enjoyed each and every bite. I ordered the Veal Osso Buco. A gigantic veal shank slow braised to perfection that melted in my mouth. It was served with a cabernet sauce with mushrooms and peas over risotto. One of the best Veal Osso Buco I have ever had, and I eaten this in many states as it is one of my favorite meals. We shared blueberry pie which is homemade in house. Outstanding pie crust, it was served warm with vanilla ice cream. We each had regular coffee to go with our Pie a al Mode. We wish Jimmy lots of success and plan to return many times for another outstanding, delicious meal. We highly recommend you give Osso Buco, Hillsdale a try you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jimmy for a wonderful evening.

They just started opening for lunch and I think it's absolutely fabulous. The staff is very nice…read moreand the ambiance is great. Really great for a corporate lunch or a nice get together. The prices are also awesome for lunch. The portions are generous and the food incredibly tasty. I got the grilled chicken Caesar salad salad and it came with a minestrone soup and both were super tasty! I will certainly be coming back for lunch and maybe dinner!

my husband and I went on a Friday night at 6 PM and aside from us. There was two people sitting at…read morethe bar and another couple having dinner at the bar area when we left at 7 PM. There were some people sitting outside for dinner and maybe three other tables inside full so it was not busy if you wanted to walk in for dinner it is possible but we had reservations. The decor aims for high end dining, they have an elegant bar area with some tables if you prefer to eat on that side. The hostess and servers were very attentive. The menu is very limited. They have a bunch of different special martini drinks, and plenty of wine selections, but the food menu is very limited. They have dinner specials to offer. My husband went with the burger, which was a very thick patty served with a brioche bun, cooked perfectly. The fries were just OK. They looked as if they were frozen fries just put in the oven. I went with the cod special over Seasonal corn. The corn was tasteless. The cod was cooked perfectly although it did lack a little bit of flavor and we shared the iceberg salad for an appetizer, which was good, but nothing special. The prices were reasonable we decided to pass up on the dessert and take a walk down the main Avenue in Westwood and find some ice cream . I believe it was the male owner that did stop by after we finish dinner to check on us. He was very pleasant.

I remember this place as The Melting Pot, found it odd that the burners are still in the middle of…read morethe table. Why? Otherwise the menu was ok, my companion and I had burgers, they were tasty but also a little pricey. The service was professional and friendly. Not sure if I would return.
