The service is mixed: food arrives in good time, but catching the eye of a server is near impossible. On May 2, late morning, the staff felt resentful, unwilling to respond.

I absolutely loved the teriyaki Salmon salad last time and switched it up for the Ahi Tuna Sandwich this time. Portions are decent and after the soup you will be full. The ambiance of the place is definitely the best part. You get an Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe. It can get busy during lunch hours but if are able to get window seatings you'll get a view of the New York skyline (if the city pollution allows) The only negative is they're drinks are more on the pricier side that. I get the alcoholic ones but I'm referring to soda, coffee, etc

I wasn't too fond for the multigrain bread but I'm a bread snob who makes their own sourdough so that may be why .

The service was super attentive + the ambience felt like a true neighborhood spot with a cozy and hip interior. Started off with a DKA pastry and then followed up with one of their specials which was their take on a chicken Milanese paired with a buttermilk ranch topped salad. Both were really solid and were the perfect start for a day filled with exploring what Montclair had to offer. Definitely wouldn't mind stopping by again when passing through!

As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke don't fix it." If you were a NYC club kid in the 90s (or adjacent) you'll appreciate the playlist that echoes in this intimate space.

My favorite menu items are the pancakes, French fries, coffee, avocados drizzled with olive oil and lemon zest; however in no particular order. The staff is super cordial and accommodating, respecting your time and effort to be there.

We were not greeted right away, and it took a while for our order to be taken, which seemed inconvenient considering that when we walked in, there was only one other table . I order their make your own omelette, which was OK. It didn't have much flavor and the mushrooms were a bit hard. The toast was very buttery, which was in bad, but it did feel like they had put a lot more than one may want on it. The coffee was also OK, a bit bitter for my liking and they didn't have any milk just the creamer that comes in the prepackaged cups . They have a lot of seating and pretty good light as well as decorations near the window. Unfortunately, one of the glasses we were given, was very chipped and it looked dirty - thankfully it wasn't dirty, but it was still not great that we were given a chipped glass.

We were greeted immediately upon entering and made to feel incredibly welcome in such a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The menu is impressive, offering a beautiful selection of everything from breakfast to dinner. I personally loved the blueberry pancakes, and the scrambled eggs were cooked to absolute perfection. My loved one thoroughly enjoyed the chicken scampi; the ingredients were clearly fresh and high-quality. Our only small note for next time would be to request a little extra spice to kick it up a notch, but the flavors were already spot on. A few other highlights: * Cream of Turkey Soup: Absolutely delicious and a must-try! * Reese's Pieces Cheesecake: We ended our Sunday evening with this, and it was the perfect finale. The plate was even decorated in such a festive way - it truly felt special. What really made the night, however, was our server, Alexandra. She was a total professional and an absolute gem. You can tell she is an asset to the team and well-loved by the regulars. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. We already can't wait to return! God bless you all!

After years (yes, years) of the classic "next weekend" promise as we cruised by, we officially pulled into the parking lot and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Walking in feels like stepping into the kind of diner that stars in its own feel-good movie. Warm, welcoming, and buzzing with that comforting breakfast energy, the gentle clinking of coffee cups, the hum of happy conversations, and the smell of bacon working overtime on the grill. We went all in on breakfast because when you're at a Jersey diner, that's just what you do. The coffee? Hot, strong, and seemingly bottomless. My wife ordered a classic breakfast platter, and I went for a hearty omelet that was so fluffy it practically needed its own pillow. Crispy home fries, perfectly cooked eggs, and rye bread toast that was delish! a true breakfast balancing act. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and flat-out delicious. And the service? Top notch. Friendly, attentive, and on point without ever feeling rushed. Our server made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. Coffee refills appeared like magic, our food came out quickly, and every interaction had that genuine, neighborhood diner warmth that makes you want to stay for "just one more cup." Prices were reasonable too! UUF! Lol!!! Honestly, we couldn't believe we waited so long. We've driven by the Nevada Diner countless times, but now that we've finally stopped in, it's officially in our breakfast rotation. Lesson learned: when a diner has been calling your name for years, answer it. If you're in Bloomfield and craving a breakfast that feels like a warm hug (with a side of perfectly crispy bacon), do yourself a favor and pull into the Nevada Diner. Just don't wait as long as we did.

My friends had a Cheesesteak Panini with Fries, and Eggs with Corned Beef Hash. They both really enjoyed their dishes. And again, the portions were ample. This is a really solid, affordable, and pleasant spot in Montclair. I will return.

Montclair house grill is essentially an elevated diner. incredibly modest pricing, big portions, and great service. I wish i could remember my servers name, a very friendly and funny older latin gentleman, but he kept the laughs flowing and made sure to check in on us often. i grabbed the tuna melt sando special. i really wanted to love this, but it had no flavor. it was incredibly bland. it needs seasoning. however, the plus side to this was the size. im not gonna lie, your girl got another dinner and lunch out of this sandwich (yes, the tuna was PACKED on this!). the cheese was your basic melted cheddar slice, which isnt nothing to brag about. It comes with a soup and i chose the matzo ball soup. this hit the damn spot. 1 big ball, a few veggies, and a very lightly salted chicken broth. simple, but to the point. i tried my friends wings. unfortunately she doesnt live for the spice life like i do, so she grabbed them bland, but i will say this, her wings were good. they were perfectly fried and had a great crust. yes, i did in fact pour tapatio on top of them. her onion rings were also fried well. i am not sure if theyre home made, but if they arent, whoever operates that fryer back there, knows their timing. you can bite into every onion ring and get an even crunch, and the skin doesnt fall off the onion. Let me tell you, i despise biting into an onion ring and i just get soggy onion but no shell. not here, montclair house grill keeps it in tact. would come back in a heart beat for the service and the simple, but classic dishes.

We dove in and I never took pics of what we were served, a shame, as it was so nicely prepared and looked like it should be on the menu as the sample photo. Definitely coming back and hopefully to have Julio help us out.

I found parking right by the train station and just walked a block over. It was a little after noon time and surprisingly they had a couple of two seat tables open so we were able to be seated right away. The vibe is super chill and I love that there is a shelf of book running along the back that kids or adults can borrow while at the restaurant. Service was impeccable from the minute we sat down. The staff was very attentive. Food didn't take long to come out at all. The omelette was cooked well and the salmon BLT was flavorful and hearty. The salad that accompanied it definitely needed some acid in the dressing. Had a lot of potential but tasted like nothing. My only complaint was the bathroom seemed a little dirty. Possibly from all the morning traffic but a little tidy up was needed.
