    Iced Pumpkin latte and pistachio latte 10/10
    Katherine S.

    Love the coffees and teas here. They have a great variety of syrup and cold foams. They do get packed inside so be prepared to wait for a table if it's lunch time

    Grilled Steak Sandwich
    Keita N.

    This place a really organized system of ordering and seating. The servers are kind and very attentive with their organization. The ambiance is clean, modern, and well maintained. The food however, I believe can use some work. The sandwich isn't terrible, the bread was however very covered in oil. The steak was well cooked, but could use more seasoning. The sandwich itself lacked flavor. The fries were average, no complaints there. I also ordered a chai latte (lost the photo). It was well presented but the flavor itself was odd. I've had plenty chai lattes, but this one lacked flavor. I wouldn't return here, nor do I recommend if you're used to flavorful foods.

    Panini

    Upon entrance seating was a bit weird . I had to ask a server if it was seating on your own which I was told yes to. It would've been nice if there was a sign. Service was decent you order your food at the counter and they bring it over if you order to eat in. Food was great the panini was filling and served as two meals for two different times. Chai was decent . I would go back.

    We were able to find decent street parking. You seat yourself in this spot but maybe there should be a sign that says that? Fortunately we didn't wait long despite it being crowded and got a table pretty quick. Server came and cleaned it off quickly. Ordered at the counter and they brought the food and drinks to the table. We got the chicken and chorizo panini and I got their matcha with raspberry cold foam. My sister got their iced chai which looked good too. The sandwich was absolutely delicious and that alone would make me come back here again. The matcha was also tasty. Love the fresh look of the place and definitely great spot for lunch. Will be returning in the future to try other menu items.

    This place can be very confusing the first few visits . There is a flow issue .I can't imagine what's like on a weekends . you kinda have to know what you want since you have to make a line for the food bar area and registers . The food is bought to your table . I sad outside , and almost fell off the concrete slab under my chair that was precariously at edge of the slab . The food was okay . The music is too loud inside you can't carry a conversation which is why i ate outside . The "ambiance " is school cafeteria meets fast food joint . The servers were pleasant . i recommend looking at their menu BEFORE you get there to abate being overwhelmed .

    Mercado serves up excellent coffee, with high-quality beans and a well-executed roast that truly shines in their drinks and lattes. The flavors are rich and smooth, making it a great spot for coffee lovers. The food is just as impressive. I had the Cubano, which was perfectly executed with great balance and texture. While it's a café, it may not be the best place to study since the WiFi is turned off during peak hours. Parking is street-only, so plan accordingly. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Sunday brunch after the Alzheimer's walk. first time here ,very lively place ,friendly staff ,family, friendly atmosphere. The Mexican inspired food was well prepared and very delicious.

    Mercado omelette platter
    Ambika S.

    We went for brunch. Service was really good. The people out there were really really helpful. We got citrus carrot, and one green juice along with salsa wrap omelette, and Mercado omelette. The best part was all their ingredients were organic and it actually felt really fresh and the food was delicious. Their potatoes that come with omelette platter was also really good. The green leafy salad seemed really fresh. I will definitely be going again. The decor was very chic and fresh too.

    Almond tart
    Seby I.

    The salmon, roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted sweet potatoes at Mercado was tasty. Nain and I ventured to Montclair to visit a friend who goes to Mercado every day. He lives nearby. Nain had a bowl of greens and grains and a coke and Rajender had a bowl of gazpacho that he found delicious. We both had a Cortado that was nicely priced at $3 unlike so many other places. We drank it while nibbling on a flaky almond tart and the famous Pastels de Nata. German (pronounced "xer'man") was a charming server who recognized Rajender as a daily customer. This three year old cafe restaurant is bright and has cheerful friendly employees with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a clean unisex restroom. Mercado closes at 4 pm.

    Mercado Omelet
    Viviana Z.

    The last time I tried to have breakfast at this place it was packed! Luckily this time around there were only a few patrons. The person who took my order was very friendly. I ordered a chai latte and the Mercado omelet. The chai latte was ok. It was milky more than anything else. The roasted potatoes and omelet were very good. I do wish the toast was warm. It arrived at the table cold. While I was still eating my breakfast one of the employees asked if I was done with one of the plates. I wasn't. She came back a few minutes later and asked the same question. This time around I said sure but only because I felt rushed. I should mention that I was there for less than 30 minutes. By the time I "finished" my breakfast the place was packed and getting louder by the minute.

This time, it seemed to be lacking the rosemary seeds and flavor. The sauce was blah. We ordered Porn Star Martinis to start out the evening. The cocktails were delish! Our starter included a super yummy Pear Arugula flatbread! : ) Entrées included a French chicken $28 for me and Hangar Steak $35 for my friend. I had a Taste of the Hangar Steak. It was delicious. I wish, I had ordered it. Taking one star off because the French chicken was extremely dry. Our regular server did not serve the entrées. I didn't see our regular server to flag down. All the other servers were running around. Otherwise, I would've asked one of them. Our server came over when it was dessert time. We decided to order Espresso Martini Shots. The shots were yummy! I've been to DeNovo many times. From now on, I would forego their entrees and stick with their amazing cocktails and wonderful appetizers. On that note, cheers and wishing everyone a blessed holiday!

We had a 6:30pm dinner reservation on a Tuesday evening. There's a parking lot in the rear with allocated spots. There's also street parking nearby. The restaurant was lively and busy. They have a full bar, high top tables, communal booth seating along one wall, and a section with tables for groups. It's not a huge place, so I recommend making reservations, especially for larger groups. The interior is styled after a casual European pub, but with rustic and elegant touches like fuchsia bougainvillea flowers, hanging industrial lights, antique chandeliers, distressed wood, etc. It's the ideal spot for date nights and celebrations. The tables are close together, so it does feel a bit crowded and the noise level can get high. The menu offers classic favorites from both European and American cuisines. The European dishes mainly consist of Italian, Greek, and Mediterranean flavors. I was surprised to see they have a full sushi menu! The drink menu is extensive - cocktails, wines, beer, hard liquor, you name it! Just a heads up - the prices listed on the menu are cash prices. Card pricing is available on their website. Mark was our server and I could tell that he enjoys his job! He had a fun personality and was attentive & welcoming from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us recommendations on what to order. He made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The other staff members were quick with clearing our dishes and refilling waters. Not once did we feel rushed. 5 star service from Mark! We received complimentary bread and marinara dip to start, which we weren't too crazy about. The bread would've been better if it was served warm and had more seasoning on top. The marinara was watery and a bit bland. We ordered... *Porn Star Martini $16 (Weber Ranch vodka, passion fruit, lime, vanilla, sparkling rose) - My new favorite cocktail ;) It was the right balance of tropical, tart, and sweet. The sweetness was very subtle and the passion fruit flavor really shone through. The sparkling wine added a bubbly, crisp finish with every sip. I could definitely taste the alcohol... and I felt it running through my veins too LOL. *Pear Flatbread $18 (brie, caramelized pears, crumbled bacon, arugula, balsamic drizzle) - Highly recommend this appetizer! The bread is very thin and crispy, so it won't fill you up too much before your main course. Every bite was cheesy goodness combined with sweet & salty flavors from the pears and crunchy bacon bits. *Charred Hanger Steak $35 (with side of roasted mashed potatoes, wilted spinach, & chimichurri sauce) - Absolutely delicious! I requested my steak to be done medium and the chef delivered. It had a pink center with a rich, beefy flavor. It was tender, juicy, and paired well with the fresh, tangy, & herbal flavors of the chimichurri sauce. The mashed potatoes were soft and buttery. I only wish I got a larger portion of steak LOL. *French Chicken Breast $28 (topped with asparagus, manchego, almonds, pink peppercorns, capers, & potatoes) - The chicken was tender, but lacked moisture. It was a bit dry, but still enjoyable enough to eat. *Espresso Martini Shot $5 (Ketel One Vodka, espresso, Caffe Borghetti) - Coffee + alcohol.... a winner!!! The espresso and the vodka were nicely balanced. This was the perfect dessert drink - smooth, bold, nutty, & sweet. I would happily return. Good food, good drinks, good service, good ambiance... I'm already hyped for my second visit!

No "chef's interpretation." Just bun, beef, cheese. And somehow it absolutely delivered. The patty was smashed just right with crispy edges and a juicy center, and the cheese was properly melted like it actually respected the assignment. The bun held together the entire time, which already puts this place ahead of most burgers I have eaten in the last decade. No soggy collapse. No mid bite regret. Now let's talk fries. These fries are the kind that do not need explaining. Golden, crispy, slightly irregular as intended, and clearly fried by someone who knows exactly when to pull them. Add the dipping sauce and suddenly you are negotiating with yourself about whether to save some fries for later. You will not. This is comfort food done confidently. Not trying to be viral. Not chasing trends. Just quietly excellent food that makes you pause mid bite and think, "Yeah, this is it." If you are looking for * a burger that tastes like a burger * fries that disappear faster than planned * and a meal that leaves you full, happy, and slightly smug about your choice this place is it. I came hungry. I left impressed. I will absolutely be back, and next time I am ordering extra fries because I have learned my lesson. Highly recommend.

That salad... I'm still dreaming about it. The biscuit was equally delicious and will definitely be my go to from now on. The tater tots, while okay, lacked a bit of flavor. It did pair as well with the salad, but lone was lacking something. For the entree, I had the Breakfast Sandwich and also got a taste of the Brunch Tostada. Both were incredible, but the sandwich stole the show for me. The biscuit is absolutely top tier, and the chorizo sausage patty was perfectly spiced not too hot, just the right kick and paired beautifully with the rest of the sandwich. And the lattes? Simply amazing. Honestly, I'm in love with this place and can't wait to go back. The Saint Clair has officially converted me into a brunch fan and already have the date to go back.

If you get her as your server, it's a start to a pleasant and great meal. Angelina knows what she's talking about! One feedback would be to learn how to better time the serving of the foods. We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.

The chicken tacos with rice and beans on the side were phenomenal! The Cesar salad was good but we did get served some browned romaine which i noticed half way through and couldn't finish eating it. I had the salmon and it has a fishy taste, it was also very small looked like 4-5oz. Although I asked for it well done, I did not expect it to be BURNT it was literally black like charred on the whole bottom and top. The wild rice/orzo chilled salad really lacked flavor and was quite the conundrum, I think this side should be improved or changed out completely. The roasted chicken with mashed potato's was excellent. Our server was very absent minded, although she circled and passed by she NEVER once stopped and checked in after serving the food to ask "how is everything?" so we didn't even get a chance to tell her about the burnt lasagna but fortunately the food runner and a different server did pass by us and checked on us ecause they saw us with our necks out looking for our server who had actually passed by us but didn't even look at us...I found it strange that for such a fine establishment the server had not been drained to check on the table 2-5 minutes after each course is served. We had a 3 course meal. A salad to start, followed by the chicken tacos and Nonna lasagna as a second appetizer, then our main dishes. Not once did she check on us after the food was served. I will return in a few months to see if there has been any improvement. The manager did take the lasagna off the bill after the busser brought the plate back. However the waitress never came or made any comments about it. She truly lacked hospitality, personality, and attention To details. I don't remember her name i don't think she Even provided it... the dessert menu also could be better being that there are other restaurants in the area with better dessert options. I think this place needs something good that makes it unique... maybe a story to tell by the server for first times guest or any suggestions etc.
