Mountainside Inn - Cake and ice cream - Caterers Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

See all

I was there on 05/14/23 Sunday Mother's Day the beef tasted like it was freezer burnt. I spoke to the owner today 05/17/23 and there was no reasoning with him he stated all his food was fresh. It was buffet style the food was uncovered the whole time and it was in the bar area. It was open bar which they didn't have much to choose from. I wouldn't recommend this venue. read more

I had my 50th birthday party at mountainside inn Clifton and it was the best experience ever. From beginning to end. The owners were very kind and understanding as I called a lot. The staff during my party was very down to earth and personable. The food was excellent. One of the staff had to let me know it's time to cut the cake because I was in heaven that night floating all over. Overall I give them a 10/10 ..id love to post pictures but can't figure it out. So if you're contemplating don't think anymore Mountainside Inn is where you should go for your event ...Have some Calamari Sione Douglas read more

Inside the place looks mid, as for outside it's old and outdated the way a nyc Run down building would look. Nevertheless didn't care for that, but the attitude of the employees is just despicable, disgusting with a hint of just. Employees want to do what they want. Which the minimum, making weird remarks about their lives in order to gain tips is just awkward and Rachet. Mister LOU the owner needs to clean house figuratively and physically. read more

Recently attended a baby shower there. Very nice venue, it was air conditioned the food was great, the dance floor in the middle and plenty of tables to sit. A pitcher of Sangria and Beer at the table plus soda and water, you could also purchase drinks at the bar. I would definitely plan a party there. I give it 4 stars, The only thing was the bathroom (women's ) was very small two person and one sink for about 70-80 guests that where there and the fact that there wasn't an open bar. read more

Mountainside Inn - Fondant cake was yummy with a bit of ice cream and cool whip some coconut shavings and a cherry - Caterers Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

It seemed pretty nice in the beginning, until we got food poisoning. Some of us worse than others. I couldn't sleep well that night.

Not a bad space, the food is okay...however, it is extremely outdated, the carpet looks like it's very old with stains, and the walls are due for a coat of paint. The mirrors in the background are nice but one or two are broken. If this place was taken cared of a little more, I would definitely have done my party here. read more

We had a first communion today at this place. I am so pleased with the experience. We booked 3 months ago the small room that fits 50 people. The person that showed us the room was very nice. The week previous the event we picked the menu and made our final payment. The day of the event we got there a little early they were very nice to let me set up. The room was spacious and clean. The bathrooms were spotless. The 2 waiters 2 young kids Amazing service the gave to our party, they were polite, organized, fast, accommodating, kind to the kids, for 2 young men to be that responsible it was refreshing to see. The food came on time and hot. The salad was made with all fresh ingredients and was presented beautifully. Plenty of fresh rolls and butter, The penne vodka was delicious with parmesan cheese on the side. It was a sit down dinner we picked the chicken marsala very tasty and the london broil very good, red bliss potatoes and mixed vegetables. We had plenty of soda and water. The cut the cake for us and served with a cute side of ice cream on the side. Plenty of hot fresh coffee and tea. Our waiters didn't stop working from the minute we got there until we left. Also tony one of the workers that greeted us and gave us the final check was extremely nice and helpful. Overall we give this place 100% great job We are so happy to have a place like this representing our hometown with friendly hard working people. Thank You so much for an unforgettable party it was worth every penny spent. read more

Mountainside Inn - a table with desserts on it - Caterers Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

I hosted 2 events at this venue within a month of each other. I attended my best friend's baby shower here and figured I would give it a try because I was on a crazy time crunch and a limited budget. I will say this is an okay place as a last resort. First off, they do not clearly state what the charges are and when you need to pay them. It is a constant ping pong between father and son to get questions answered. There was constant "miscommunication" where I was told one price in the first few conversations, and an increased one at the time of payment. For the first event, I rented the small room. I was promised 2 servers because I catered my food from them. I got one server that was on her phone the ENTIRE time and I burned my hand handling the food because she wouldn't. Also, she rushed and RUINED the cake we had ordered for our event and started kicking us out, literally telling us we had to leave a half hour before the room time was done. She had some car trouble and was rushing because her son was picking her up, not my problem. For the second event, the father told me I cannot use the bar area to serve food when the son told me I can. In the end it was locked so it cramped our space. Any other venue Ive ever worked with has been accommodating to something like this, and I thought they would too seeing as I booked 2 events with them. We were told we would get a microphone, we did not and the staff that were there during the event said it was locked up and they couldn't get in contact with the owners. All in all this was a place I booked out of desperation but after this experience, I wouldn't go back. I like straight forward business transactions and this was a nightmare. read more

Had our 20th year Union Party. This is a very nice place. The food was excellent.

This restaurant is old and nothing fancy. The food is ordinary and bland. The service is adequate. The prices are okay.

I've done many parties in this venue and the people are great and so easy to work with. There not very expensive- prices a very reasonable. It's not a wedding venue but definitely good space for a birthday, graduation, reunion, New Years party, baby shower, etc. Food is good and consistent. I've usually just done beer and wine with a cash bar. Any time I need to coordinate a party this is my go to place. read more

Went to this catering venue in Clifton recently for a bridal shower. This place was if anything, par. That day, the venue was split up into 2 rooms downstairs. I can not recall if there was an upstairs. The rooms were split by a very thin patrician. Therefore, throughout the day I could hardly hear what was going on during my own party. The food was average. They offered some brunch items including eggs and potato slices and some dinner foods such has penne vodka and ham. Nothing was special to me so it was very surprising this place specializes in catering. The room was awkward when split up into 2. It was very rectangular, making it hard to see what was going on half the time. All in all I had a great time because the bridal party made it fun, but the venue did not contribute to the party at all. The wait staff was also inconsiderate at times. Taking away plates when the bride was speaking and overall unpleasant attitudes were experience throughout the party. The building decor and structure are also very out of date. The inside is very dim and dark and not very welcoming. read more

I recently used Mountainside's outside catering for a party at our church. The food was great, the service excellent and I felt taken care of and assured throughout the process. Everyone was asking about where the food was from. Will definitely be using Mountainside Inn again for future events! read more
