07/25/2026 The Mrs. and I came here for our anniversary (33)…read moreand everything was very good as was the vibe in the place. Outdoor seating available, but large windows, which were open last night. We were seated promptly at a window seat and Diana came by pretty quickly to take our order. You have to try their Focaccia bread. They do a little something special that makes it so crispy outside, but fluffy and buttery on the inside. My wife ordered the "The Clam Jam" (beer-braised littlenecks, Calabrian chili, house sausage and Espelette Butter). She love the dish, as did I the one clam she allowed. I ordered the Hamachi Crudo (Organic cherry ponzu, lime, jalapeño, shiro dashi, pistachio gremolata and red onion.) This is a very fancy ceviche, with cherries and all the fixins' which I would gladly order again... My wife's entrée was the Goffle Road farm half chicken (crispy fingerling potatoes, herb butter & roast chicken jus). Gotta say, they Lula's does a great job with this chicken. I stop by Goffle Road farm and the chicken is superior to pretty much anything else, but this came out with such a light crispy skin and so juicy and tender. Excellent! My entrée was the Elite Prime Grass-Fed Coulotte steak (Pomme puree, crispy sunchokes & black garlic jus.) The steak was done to perfection and the potatoes puree were so very creamy and good. No dessert tonight... just a couple cups of coffee and a little walk around Ridgewood. Busy place! Lula is a BYO!

I cannot say enough, good things about this restaurant. It completely exceeded all of me and my…read morehusband's expectations both in food, service and atmosphere. The hospitality was incredible. We went there for my birthday. All the staff knew it was my birthday and they also knew that I was eight months pregnant and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable. The food was exceptional. The wait staff was so nice and provided recommendations while not pushing any one dish. We got the focaccia, softshell crab, Peking duck and chicken liver for appetizers. The softshell crab was the best I've ever had, and I would come back to this restaurant for this alone. The Peking duck was juicy and tender with the most incredible slaw type salad underneath it. The focaccia with the butter was also phenomenal, the owner actually brought it out to us and we had a nice conversation with him and you can tell he just poured his heart and soul into this restaurant. The focaccia is definitely not an appetizer to be overlooked just because it is bread. While I couldn't have any of the chicken liver mousse, it looked stunning, and my husband said that it was incredible and so light and fluffy, and it was a massive portion. I look forward to when we come back when I'm not pregnant and I can eat it. For dinner I got the Arctic char, and my husband got the pork. The Arctic char was unbelievable. It was piping hot and literally just melted in my mouth with each bite and the side that came with it was a mix of asparagus, mushrooms, farro and I don't know what else, but it was fantastic if I could have that side on its own as well, I would order more. My husband's pork was crispy and delicious with another incredible slaw topping, and it was so massive he has to take home like a third of it for dessert. We had the lemon meringue tart for dessert, which was also incredible and so refreshing for a dessert. All of the food was outrageously fresh and just outstanding. This restaurant is our new favorite place and on the way out we even made a reservation for three weeks from now to come back. This is probably the best restaurant that I've eaten at in Ridgewood hands down and I'm so glad that they are in the area. The restaurant adds a new vibe with food that is so phenomenal to match. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area as a MUST try. Of course me and my husband will be going back in a few weeks and we can't wait.

Okay so, this place was surprisingly amazing. My husband and I had an early dinner home but got the…read morekiddos to sleep and still wanted date night vibes. We've been meaning to go here and haven't and I decided to pull the trigger on a Thursday night. They had live guitarist who was awesome. We sat at the bar right next to where he was playing and could still socialize and enjoy his music. A lot of times you can't do both. We ate some seriously good small plates too. The bartender was fabulous, ambiance was quaint and elevated. A great local spot to pop in for bites. I'm looking forward to checking them out for a full meal next time too.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, however, the decor and atmosphere lends itself to feeling cozy and roomy. The event was buffet style with brunch options including - cornflake French toast, quiche, a mixed green salad, and rigatoni with a Tuscan meat sauce. I absolutely loved the French toast, quiche, and rigatoni. I would consider visiting again to check out the dinner menu. The service was friendly and accommodating as well!

Unfortunately, this spot missed the mark for me. I wouldn't go back for the food…read more We ordered the boneless wings ($17), and while the portion was generous and the lemon pepper flavor was good, the sauces were confusing. We asked for ranch, but what came out looked and tasted like a cheesy dip (as pictured- you can literally see chunks of cheese in it). We even compared it side by side with their Caesar dressing which was same texture, just a different color. Isn't ranch supposed to be creamy? The French dip sandwich was another letdown. The roast beef was super dry, barely any pink, and the au jus sauce looked like the last bit scraped from the bottom of the pot. Very light in color when it should be a rich dark brown. One look and I knew it wouldn't taste right. Then came the burger, which was so undercooked that the blood soaked through the bottom bun (as pictured). The waitress never even asked how we wanted it cooked. Overall, I'd come back here for a drink but I'd skip the food next time.

We ordered the **Fish and Chips**, **Braised Beef Short Ribs**, and **Crème Brûlée**. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming overall and lacked the flavor we were expecting. Nothing really stood out as particularly tasty. We were also surprised by the pricing. The prices we were charged appeared to be roughly **20% higher than the prices listed on the restaurant's official online menu at the time. If menu prices have changed, we would expect the online menu to be updated accordingly Overall, the meal did not live up to expectations, particularly given the prices. Hopefully the restaurant will improve the food and keep its online menu pricing consistent with what customers are actually charged.

No,…read morenot a head mafioso: like, an actual godfather who'd take care of a kiddo if, god forbid, something terrible were to happen to her parents. I was psyched to meet Adelyn. It's one thing to get photo updates -- and texts about her generous poops and farts -- but another thing entirely to actually hold and entertain her. Unfortunately, the delta variant delayed our "IRL" meet for many months. But when things finally died down, I met up with Meg R. at Village Green. Decor is swanky but not oppressively so, with a clientele that's older but not geriatric. It's BYOB, which probably does wonders for the liquor store across the street. If I were a restaurant owner, I might open a shop just to collect money I lost from the liquor license racket.* We had duck crepe, meatballs, and the short rib. I recommend them all, especially the duck crepe. Staff were super chill and helped us accommodate a no-res walk-in. Adelyn was great and seemed to really enjoy 1-2-3-4-5-6 in Mandarin, along with being lifted up and down like a rocket ship. No "stranger danger" stuff that you sometimes get with babies. * I'm a social democrat, and this isn't meant to be some libertarian swipe. But licensing often isn't about protecting the consumer but conferring advantage in state-constricted markets. It also compounds the struggles of running a restaurant, already a low margin business that often depends on alcohol revenue.

I had a hugo spritz which was good. However they don't list this drink prices on the menu which is also a turn off for me. Someone in our party got a drink that tasted off and it was comped off the total. The dinner itself was delicious but a bit pricey ($32) for a vodka chicken parm. No one else had anything bad to say about their food either. Overall the service and food were enjoyable but the atmosphere is definitely loud and bit of a pricier location.

This is an absolute 5 star experience…read more Food: Overall excellent! Most of their dishes had a little twist to the expected flavor -The Cafe 37 salad was honestly the best salad I've had in years. I don't even like kale salads that much but they just knocked it out of the park -Pan seared chicken is often the boring option at most restaurants, but here it was truly perfectly cooked and the sauce was *chefs kiss* -The fettuccine frutti di mare had an EXCELLENT base that soaked into the shrimp beautifully; the pasta came together beautifully and I'm just sad I couldn't finish all of it -Bananas Foster and the Cream Puffs & Pineapple were both excellent, unique desserts that felt really different than standard dessert fare Not worth it: The mussels appetizer (under-seasoned) and the risotto entree side add-on (it was nice, but didn't really impress) Service: Excellent. They were on us quickly for any needs, they stayed on top of the water, etc. Only downside: For some reason the dessert took more than 30 minutes to come out Ambiance: Fancy but not intimidatingly upscale. Some people wore button downs, some people wore nice jeans, it was "nice but don't worry about it" level -2 downsides: They still have the QR code menus, which is just not as nice of an experience. Also, the tables are kind of NYC level of close together; when it's full the place can feel a bit tight

We arrived just few minutes after opening, so it wasn't busy at all. They had a nice cozy interior with lots of Middle Eastern decor all around the store. We started with the Kashke Bademjan, an eggplant spread appetizer, that was so good with the complimentary fluffy bread. For entree we ordered the kabob combo for one. It has half skewer of chicken, half skewer of lamb and a full skewer of Koobideh. The kabobs and the rice were excellent. I also ordered the Chelo Mahicheh, a lamb shank dish with rice, that was amazing, The stew was full of flavor. The lamb was so tender, it was peeling off the bone. I thoroughly enjoyed eating the rice with the stew and the lamb. It was so huge I had to bring more than quarter of it home. There was only one person managing the front side of the store, probably the owner. He was super friendly and gave us lots of recommendations on what to order. He brought all the dishes out in short intervals and took the empty dishes out frequently. Overall really liked the food and the dining experience at this restaurant.

Clean. Quiet. The staff was very nice and attentive. Fresh baked bread on the house. It's warm, crispy outside and soft inside. I can probably finish that basket myself. It's so good. We got Kashke Bademjan (smashed eggplant). Great flavor, texture is consistent. So great with the bread. We also got kabob combo for 1 and lamb shank (the staff recommended). The meat on the bone literally fell out when you picking up. Packed with flavor and sauce/soup, juicy, tender. A must try. Kabob combo we got half chicken half beef and koabideh(mixed lamb/beef/onion). It's a great portion to try different kabobs. All are soft and tasty. Savory. Rice is fluffy. Salad is fresh. I love the fresh acidic salad against savory meat. Wonderful combination.
