The ambiance is very peaceful, with walls are covered in lush greenery and artwork that will make you feel like you are in the Mediterranean islands The food is traditional and consistently high quality--my personal favorites are the Kilim Salad and the stuffed cabbage. The service is equally exceptional. Haluk is the best waiter- he is kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making every visit feel special. The warm hospitality and outstanding Mediterranean food keep us coming back.

Friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed. We started with the hummus, zucchini pancakes, and shepherd's salad with feta, and all of them were fresh and packed with flavor. For entrees we had the whole branzino, octopus, lamb shish kebab, Adana kebab, and fried calf's liver. Every single dish was delicious and cooked perfectly. And the rice... honestly some of the best rice I've ever had at a restaurant. Simple but unbelievably flavorful. Everyone in our group left happy and impressed. Definitely recommend giving this place a try and we're already looking forward to coming back.

La Taberna Steak & Tapas Bar has become a go-to spot for me, and every visit has been consistently…read morefun and memorable. The atmosphere is unlike your typical restaurant. It's lively, a little eclectic, and full of personality in the best way. The food matches that energy perfectly. The nachos and cheesesteaks are not just good, they're fun. Generous, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not, depending on how hungry you are). It's the kind of menu that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers exactly what you're hoping for. What really sets La Taberna apart, though, is everything happening beyond the plate. Live music, and other events give the place a vibrant, social feel. It's ideal for a fun date night or just getting together with friends and enjoying the moment. I've been there many times, and it never disappoints. If you want great food in a place that actually feels alive, this is the spot.

New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

For an "upscale casual" place, this isn't just overpriced but misleading. The food itself wasn't bad, but the portion completely killed the experience.

I usually come here for the steaks but they stopped taking cooking temperature requests.. So now I just get the Buger instead of a steak.. My Cheeseburger came out perfectly, great flavor all around and cooked perfectly to my liking. Fries were great as well.. I had to start with their huge baked potato which did not disappoint at all. Actually it's my favorite Baked potato on earth so far. My friend had the half chicken which looked amazing and tasted as good as it looked. Our waiter, Arron, was very attentive and accommodating throughout our meal. That was pleasant. And as far as the restaurant atmosphere, it's always been a great and perfect experience. They have really nice lounge style music playing lightly in the background, so no loud music blasting in your ears. Overall it was a great time and meal. I'll be back soon. Alright yall! Have a great one! -Ray

This was our third time dining here. I went down a star and gave it 4 stars this time instead of 5…read more The reasons: The lounge seating is all high top tables with bar stool seats without a back. The special trio of prosciutto tacos fell short. They were served on a large mound of salt and the taco shell was more of a waffle potato chip shell. The flavors didn't mesh well. The main shrimp dish had more of a Cacio de Pepe sauce as opposed to the cognac sauce the menu described. Lasagna and the gnocchetti cacio de pepe were very good and the shining star of the main course was the chicken Milanese which had a crispy outside and moist and tender with a citrusy dressing. The hazelnut gelato was delicious, it had a strong hazelnut flavor which we all loved. The pistachio crème brûlée could have had a little more pistachio flavor. Our server was great! She had good recommendations.

Came here on a Sunday for happy hour. I really wanted to sit outside but as the weather is starting…read moreto get cooler it was a bit chilly. Plus the outdoor beer garden isn't open on Sundays, so we decided to sit inside at the bar. The bar is small - only about 7 or 8 seats but there are a couple tables in that area. The happy hour deal is great!! You get your choice of cocktail + a small mini appetizer for $10. I think there were about 4 or 5 cocktails to choose from and 4 apps, which are bite sized minis from a regular appetizer -- it's a great way to taste test what's on the menu. All of the food was excellent. The only dish I didn't love is the octopus but I can be pretty picky about that. Our bartender Shelton was cool. He chatted with us most of the time, gave us reccos and gave us 3 month aged homemade limoncello when we were finished. My only gripe was the owner -- it felt like he didn't want Shelton talking to us so it made the vibe a little weird. Overall, very cute place for date night inside or outside!! Tasty food and great drinks. All the servers were cool, too. And I think this is a historical site as well.

I'm used to it being a little more crunchy and syrupy but I guess that's just a personal preference. Overall food was good. They don't give you enough. Portions are small for the pricing.

Tried Lulu for the first time on Saturday. Excellent experience…read more It was right before the staff showed up for dinner service, so only a couple of tables were occupied. The menu is simple, but covers everything we love. Server came by with warm, fresh, fluffy seasoned pita and a dish of seasoned olive oil. Great start. Started with Cheese Borek and Fried Liver cubes -- The Borek was the best we have had and we order that anytime we dine Mediterrean. The 4 Borek were fat, fried to perfection, and their filling of Feta and spinach was hot, melty and super tasty. We love love Fried Liver, and Lulu does it to perfection. The portion was huge, and dressed with red onion and lemon juice, it sang. We decided to split an order of Manti, those delightful tiny lamb dumplings tossed with burnt butter and garlic yogurt -- holy holy. We ran some liver around that sauce, and were glad we saved some of the bread to sop everything up. So good. Ordered the Kunefe, as we always do. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the table -- so if you are thinking about it, order it before they take your dinner plates away. The Kunefe was good. We think they forgot to add to the syrup it comes in -- but maybe that's the way they do it. It won't disappoint, but I missed that rosewater sugar syrup we are used to. Different places, different recipes. In all, Lulu did not disappoint and we look forward to visiting again. Go, go go. And tip your servers well.
