I had ordered a gift card through their website but was having difficulty receiving it via email. The manager Claudio worked with the third party for me to ensure I got my gift certificate no problem. When we went to eat (our first time), we were able to sit outside which was nice, the service was wonderful and the food was so beyond amazing. The potato croquettes were to die for, the ribeye eggrolls were so tender but crispy, and my husband said the wagyu burger was dreamy! All around 10/10 experience! Thanks again to Claudio and the rest of the staff for helping us out to make our experience that much better read more

- The spacious, modern interior has a cozy, romantic feel while still maintaining a relaxed vibe - Service was cordial and attentive; there was a small mix-up with one of our orders, but it was promptly corrected - Overall, everything was enjoyable: the wagyu steakhouse burger was beautifully cooked to medium as requested, with a juicy, perfectly seasoned patty topped with a generous portion of portobello mushrooms and onions; the hanger steak sandwich was delicious, with thick, chunky, tender strips of well-seasoned steak cooked on the rarer side of medium; the kids' cheeseburger sliders were nicely cooked and surprisingly juicy despite being well-done; the kids' mac and cheese featured perfectly cooked pasta shells in a creamy, gooey cheese sauce; the almond chicken nuggets were the one disappointment--the crust was chewy rather than crispy, though the flavors were very good, especially with the sriracha mayo and bleu cheese read more

THE FOOD ---------------- + Almond Chicken Nuggets - Decent crunchy chicken tenders. A bit plain if eaten by itself, but the sriracha mayo DEFINITELY was the reason why it was much better. + Kids Sliders - Well-cooked burger patty was surprisingly still juicy. Came with more than enough delicious fresh fries for 1 kid. + Kids Mac and Cheese - Comprised of a bowl of pasta shells smothered in cheese. It was fresh and I loved that it was so cheeeesy gooey. + Hanger Steak Sandwich - Possibly the BEST steak sandwich I ever had anywhere! It was THAT good! The hanger steak was not your ordinary, dry-looking slices of thin steak in a sammie, but instead it was chunks of it. The steak was on the rarer side of medium, but perfectly seasoned and, in all transparency, I'm still thinking about it! Would say it was one of the more popular items having seen it at multiple tables. Oh, and those fries it came with - freshly cut and delicious! + Steakhouse Wagyu Burger - Verrrry, verrry good. Burger was juicy, tender and cooked exactly medium. Not that it needed it, but the onion truffle aioli that accompanied it was like crack. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Waiter was a young gentleman who was extremely courteous and accommodated our every ask (without ever seeming too busy, even though he was waiting multiple tables during prime dinner hours). + Food arrived quickly after we ordered. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Verrrrry spacious and nicely decorated interior. Lots of tables indoors AND outdoors. ++++ One of the largest outdoor/curbside dining areas I've seen for a restaurant in the area. + Full bar right after the entrance with multiple TVs showing sporting events. - Like almost every business in the area, unfortunately there is no private parking lot, so persistence is the key word when searching for a parking spot. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- + Allows for online resys via OpenTable, but probably not needed a majority of the time considering the large space. = Dined in at around 6 PM on a beautiful August early Friday evening and the restaurant was bustling, both indoors and outdoors. Most parties sat outdoors to take advantage of the nice weather, so there were PLENTY of tables still available indoors. Lots of folks were hovering by the indoor bar area too. Definitely one of the most popular restaurants in Ridgewood. read more

I will dream about the hangar steak sandwich! So delicious and tender on the best crusty bread. Amish chicken looked incredible. Choc chip bread pudding and Zeppole were both fantastic! Service was not attentive but the fabulous food made up for it! read more

Very friendly staff with plenty of outdoor seating. Food was good and flavorful. I really enjoyed all of the apps. Didn't go inside to see what it's like but on a beautiful sunny day it was great to sit outside. read more

Lunch at Park West Tavern today was unfortunately a disappointing experience. I explained to our waiter/bartender that I have allergies to onions, garlic, and corn and simply asked what options might be safe. His response was very brief and unsympathetic, essentially making me feel as though there was nothing I could eat. What was frustrating was that, after I asked specifically about the shrimp cocktail and burger, I was told those could potentially be options. I completely understand that a restaurant has to be cautious about cross-contamination. What I expected was a little patience, empathy, and an effort to help me navigate the menu--not to feel embarrassed or like an inconvenience in front of my friend. The manager became involved when I questioned why those options hadn't been offered initially, and the interaction became even more uncomfortable. They did provide dessert afterward, which I appreciated, but unfortunately it didn't erase the experience. If you have food allergies, you shouldn't have to feel like a burden for asking what you can safely eat. A little compassion and better communication would have made all the difference. read more

I avoid the weekends here, it gets very busy and crowded, but on week nights it's one of my favorite stops. The cocktails are great, the menu needs a little enhancement, although I have a few favorites. read more

Arriving early for an afternoon retirement party at Park West Loft, we stopped for a pre-party Bloody Mary at Park West Tavern. The friendly bartender made an excellent Tito's Bloody Mary. After a short wait, we headed to the Loft, which is a beautiful venue. The party featured excellent food and drinks, and the DJ did a fantastic job ensuring all the guests had a great time. We were also pleasantly surprised that street parking wasn't bad, which is always a plus. Impressed with both the Tavern and the Loft, we plan to return for Sunday brunch. read more

Stopped in for dinner. I was hoping to sit at the bar but it was full! We sat near the fireplace and had the Pearfect (pear martini) and Smokey Johnny (bourbon/brown sugar). We had the butternut squash app from the seasonal menu as well as the Hot Mozzarella and Ribeye Spring Rolls. Everything came out hot and fresh! We ended dinner with espresso martinis. Ridgewood is such a cute town and I always stop in here when I can. They're cocktails are on point and the food is just as tasty! read more

Well we finally came back to try Park West Tavern after a negative experience years ago. I am happy to report Im glad we did. We made a reservation for Saturday night and arrived early. We sat at the bar to grab a cocktail before dinner. The bartender Mike, was friendly and made us a couple good drinks. The bar had a nice vibe so we told hostess we decided to stay at the bar, no problem. I got the steak sandwich and f.f and it was very good. Thick and juicy and cooked just right. We also got the Cobb salad with shrimp. Also very good with rather large tasty shrimp. Another good cocktail and friendly service and we called it a night. Please give this restaurant another try, if you were here years ago and haven't been back. read more

Had dinner on Saturday night. The food was not worth the cost. Wife had a steak which had so much fat that it was inedible. My burger was ehhhh. Ordered a draft beer and the glass was so thin that it was probably half a bottle of beer. Expensive and food not worth it. read more

Service is always spot on. Food is always consistently good. Friendly neighborhoody spot.

I visited park west tavern on two different occasions and loved it. The first time was mid week for dinner and it was great experience . I had the salmon and it was fresh and tasty. Fries are solid. I also had an apple pie dessert that was great. I also visited for drinks one night and the bar was packed (great sign) I ordered chocolate martinis and it was great! Great spot! read more

Good space. Nice bar. Great drinks. Super mediocre menu. I live in town, and my friends and I always remark on how weak the menu is. They need better food options. More extensive menus that feels less like all bar food. read more

This is my second time here while I was in town for work and the food was pretty exceptional this time around. However, the service was not that great with my waitress. She got part of the tables order wrong. Ambiance is lively and classy. It's a vibe. read more

Best burger around Bergen county! Great atmosphere. Good service. Highly recommend.

My first time at Park West was a birthday brunch party in one of the private rooms. Honestly I was impressed that our waiter kept up with all the requests people threw at him! I started out by sampling the ribeye egg roll and the chicken "nuggets." The egg roll was pretty good, although the inside did not appear to contain ribeye. The "nuggets" are really chicken tenders, and were quite good. The siracha mayo added a lot. My main was a broccolini omelet. It was a bit plain but certainly I got what was advertised. I still enjoyed it. Don't judge me, but I absolutely finished my kids' dessert - brownies with toasted marshmallows and graham cracker. It was the best thing I ate all day. 100% recommend. read more

The food and ambience here is great. Glad to have a local place like this near by. If you go there make sure to have Lucy as your server. I can't speak highly enough about her. She's smart and funny with a great smile and knows the menu up and down. She also carries multiple pens so she's never searching for one and always willing to lend other servers some ink. Will continue to return. read more

Lunch with my team and nicely located in downtown. Nice ambiance woke Ty of seating. Quick service for lunch. Good 5/5 definitely will be back. All the food good size and plenty of flavor. The almond chicken nuggets were so good and great for sharing. Lots of seasonal drinks and the cider mojito was different and tasty. read more

I went on a quiet Sunday evening. Long story short, I'd come back but only for appetizers and drinks. Started off with a Peach Green Tea and a Bourbon drink. Both were great! For appetizers, we ordered the rib-eye spring roll (good) and the almond chicken nuggets (great texture, chicken was a tad dry so ask for ketchup/Mayo/ or more of the aioli mix they provide). For the entrees, we ordered the seared bronzino. I understand that fish should be naturally salty but this was VERY salty. The white beans were salty as well, so the only thing that wasn't salty was the broccolini (too few). The schnitzel was pretty good overall but had a generous portion of mustard - so if you don't like mustard beware! I hoped the dessert would be saving grace, but no... bread pudding is usually moist- this was not... maybe because it was a corner piece, maybe it was old? Not sure. read more

Great local restaurant. Like a scene out of "Cheers" where everyone knows your name lots of familiar faces. Food is consistent, the staff if always attentive and friendly. Bartenders make a solid cocktail. Personally not a big beer drinker but there seem to always have quality beers on tap. Personal favorite is the steak over salad and the Martinis are always ice cold and perfect. read more

The best thing about this place was the servers who were very good. Ambiance was average. A restaurant for families, many children and families were there. The menu was very limited. I had a hard time choosing what to have. I ended up with pork chop which was crazy salty. The other three people I was with tasted it and felt it was not edible. Also this restaurant was wayyyy too expensive. Not a place I will go back to. read more

Just discovered this place even though we live nearby - perfect for dinner - has a bar which is always a plus - service was great and food was really good! Easy casual spot and plenty of televisions to watch games etc read more

Went recently with my kids, including 2 who were back from college. The food was top notch, we got the Amish Chicken Breast, Hanger Steak, Brooklyn Pork Chop and Onion Girasoli (good but portion size was really small). The waitress was really sweet in taking repeated pictures of us until they turned out okay which was appreciated! Really fun place. read more

Such a cute restaurant in one of my favorite towns! I came here with my friend during happy hour and I loved how the happy hour was not only on drinks but on the food too !! We shared the oysters which were yummy and inexpensive ! They also have really good wine ! read more

Awesome food! Friendly service. Good drinks. Coming back soon. Good ambience. A little noisy. read more

I throughly enjoyed this place! Came here for an impromptu dinner after a book signing. They were quick to sit our party of four and the waitress was very attentive. We just ordered meals but the wagyu burger was cooked to perfection and was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was very nice and everything was super fast paced, which was perfect because we were hungry. I would definitely come back for a full dinner one day to try more. read more

Service and drinks are excellent as usual, but DO NOT GET THE CHARCUTERIE BOARD! Everything wrong with the charcuterie board: We were told it came with prosciutto and brie which it did not. We wouldn't have ordered it otherwise. (See picture) Cured meats looked like they came straight out of the grocery package-- and they were really stuck together as if they'd been sitting like that forever. The BLOCKS of cheese were way too hard to cut and a proper cheese knife was not provided. We had to ask for a steak knife which didn't help much. The slate it came on had virtually no surface area to cut the cheese either. The bread (cut longways for some reason) was drenched in oil which got all over the place. The bread was also extremely difficult to rip and chew. Blue cheese would've been acceptable if the contents of the slate actually paired with it. (Like fruit or jam of literally any kind.) And, if youre gonna serve CHEDDAR on a proper charcuterie board, at least cut it up? I've been going to PWT for years and this is very unlike them, but for $37 I was expecting a bit more than a grocery store spread. 3 stars because I've never had an issue with the quality/presentation of their food until this. read more

One of my fav local spots. If you're coming here to sit at the bar it normally gets busy Fri/Sat after 6pm. I like to come before it gets packed. Menu has a good variety of options to choose from. I always end up with fish or pasta whenever it's on the menu or as a special read more

Finally had a chance to try the Park West Tavern last week with a friend. It was a very wet evening due to pouring rain and thunder. It wasn't crowded because of the rain most likely. They offer nice seating outside on the curb, bar seating inside and have basically two rooms filled with tables inside. Great spot for a date, family or even a friends get together. My friend and I basically shared all but the drinks. We opted to start with oysters which were perfect!! We shared their famous Wagu burger and tuna salad. All were absolutely delicious!! The drinks were phenomenal as well. Can't wait to return! They take reservations and street parking is your best bet in the area. We didn't try desserts but will make sure to next time. read more

It's a staple meet up for locals in Ridgewood where I've been many times. It's fun and menu is decent and doesn't change much. The downside - parking is a nightmare in Ridgewood regardless of the new garage. Locals treat it like NYC double parking making it difficult to navigate. read more

Theres outing dining in the front and back of restaurant. Inside is very spacious. We came on a Sunday so we made reservations because we knew it would be busy for brunch. We decided to sit outside in the back because the weather was perfect for outside dining. For appetizer we shared the pita and hummus which was really good. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict which was good, the side of potato's was flavorful. At first we had the strawberry Prosecco punch which was very refreshing especially on a hot day. We than switched to basil gimlet. My first time trying basil gimlet drink and its my new favorite drink. Our waitress was very kind, and we had an issue with the drink she fixed it right away. Great service. Definitely recommend this place ***street parking only: Sundays its free. read more

Place was packed, seating was delayed 15 minutes past reservation time, service was slow, food was mediocre. We were seated at a broken table; not a big deal but just added to the disappointment of the less than stellar first impression. Our wait staff was really kind and apologetic which made up for the overwhelmed kitchen. The bar scene was hopping which made for a young vibe. The music from the live band from the other side of the restaurant was deafening. So no I won't be back. Not my scene but read the other reviews for a balanced perspective. read more

I visited Park West Tavern for a Dumb & Dumber trivia night hosted by the Ridgewood Library. We registered in advance and when we arrived at the location, we were seated in a separate section for the trivia. The location has a nice, large layout with tons of seating. It was quite busy throughout the tavern, but it was obvious that the staff were all working as efficiently as possible. We also had specials available for trivia attendees, which was cool. We loved everything we ordered, including the drinks. Their menu has a nice variety without being too overwhelming. With so many options to choose from, Park West Tavern does not disappoint. read more

I love Ridgewood, it's filled with so many delicious restaurants just like Park West Tavern! The food here was absolutely delicious. I haven't eaten a burger in so long and this one was out of this world. I ordered their Steakhouse Wagyu Burger! Omg, the meat was cooked to perfection, portobello mushrooms with caramelized onions topped with cheddar cheese and truffle aioli!!!!! And I can't forget about their cocktails! I had a strawberry mojito and it was pretty good but would try something different next time. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual but with an upscale touch and the service was impeccable. With the summer weather coming, you can enjoy front outdoor seating or sit inside in their dinning section or at the bar. Great restaurant for American flare dining options. read more

Highly recommend the charcuterie board. Great app. For our reservation they sat us in the bar area which was a little disappointing. Recommend asking for the main dining area as its much nicer. The wagyu burgers with truffle fries were delicious. read more

Park West Tavern - Cheese Charcuterie - New American Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I have been to Park West many many times. Every time I've been I haven't been disappointed. I had a birthday dinner last year with about 7 people and the service was spectacular. She was fast and very efficient. We ordered literally every appetizer and probably every drink on the menu. Needles to say I was impressed with how they handled a large group during their most busy hours. Ever since we kept coming back. I recently went Saturday night at 630 with a group of 6 for another birthday. We were running late and they didn't give us any issues regarding the reservation even though they were super busy. We started with appetizers Oysters $29 4/5 would definitely recommend if you like oysters they were nice and fresh Almond chicken nuggets $14 They are always the STAR of the show. I myself don't eat meat but everyone who has it absolutely loves it so obviously 5/5 Truffle chips and dip $14 New addition to the mention! We love new things. It had a nice onion dip that was very tasty. A good amount so good for a shareable app. 4/5 Honey butter shrimp $17 I believe this is also new as I have not seen that before on the menu. It came in a very small portion. Maybe like 3-4 shrimp so not the best to share. The flavor was good. 3/5 For the entrees I never change, I always get the PWT Caesar $11 with white anchovy, parmesan crouton and I get that with salmon. I don't know guys but this Caesar salad is the best I've ever had and I've had many Caesar salad but this hits every time. And they always cook the salmon perfectly! 5/5 definitely. For drinks they have a great cocktail menu a lot to choose from. I got the park royale: cava brut champagne, hibiscus syrup and the ANTITHESIS: Pama Liqueur, Nue Vodka, Cranberry, Lychee Cocktails are good there, strong, but tasty 5/5 If you're looking for a cute spot for dinner and drinks head this way! read more
