It was a wonderful event!…read more Connie worked closely with us regarding room set up and food and was always available to answer any questions we had during the planning process. The teens loved the food selections, the beautiful tree (great for photo ops) and the lay out with space to dance. Camila was on hand to assist us during the party and was so helpful and attentive!! Such a beautiful, warm and intimate space. We will definitely use them again for future events.

Love this brunch place. For a span of several months last year, we had a recurring pattern where…read morewe would eat at Willow and Whisk, and while seated at our table enjoying our amazing food, we would make our next reservation to dine again at Willow and Whisk two months later. (Reservations are not that easy to make last minute.) The restaurant is big and open but always busy. Kids get wax craft sticks to play with and bend into cool shapes, which I find very unique and cool. I feel like there is a difference between a diner and a true brunch place. A diner, of which there are numerous in New Jersey, is a establishment that churns out inexpensive, and potentially excellent, but very standard breakfast food - omelettes, pancakes, benedicts and the like. A true brunch place, on the other hand, offers things like lemon ricotta pancakes, cacio e pepe scrambles, mushroom thyme omelettes and shakshuka. Willow & Whisk is that kind of brunch place, and which is rare in New Jersey. The food options are varied, very tasty, and with good portion sizes. I love the shakshuka and the mushroom thyme omelette. Oh gosh, when is our next reservation again?

Met up with a few friends at Graze, and overall we had a great time. The wait was a bit long, but…read morehonestly pretty reasonable for a Sunday. I didn't get to see or experience the ambiance inside but I'm sure it's nice - we were seated outside as eating was our priority! I ordered a matcha, and it tasted a little watered down, but still okay. The main courses made up for it. The steak was phenomenal and the sides had so much flavor that nothing felt like an afterthought. Our waitress also had a fun personality, which added to the experience. I'll definitely be back.

The food was fresh (how did they find a flawless avocado in the middle of winter???) and the flavors delicious. The service was outstanding -- weekend brunch was packed, and they put your name on a list in case you want to walk around town while you're waiting. Don't go too far, because somehow they're able to move the tables without making folks feel rushed. Each person we encountered -- the host, the folks at the counter, our server -- was nicer than the last. I got a bowl that had slightly cooked spinach, poached eggs, sweet potatoes and that GOHgeous avocado I mentioned above. One thing I really liked about this bowl is that it didn't have rice in it -- something that would've made it too overwhelming. This was the perfect combo and portion size. Someone else in our small group got the avocado toast (more avocado!!) and also said it was excellent. Definitely plan to return!

Omelette was tasty, but nothing special. Presentation was super cute though! Inside was clean and cute. Not many tables, so there may be a wait depending on how busy it is when you come.

Our server was easy going and helpful in accommodating me as a vegetarian. I had the panini without…read morethe chicken and substituted mushrooms and avocado. My husband ordered the crepe. They offered two little slips to each customer - one for a savory crepe and one for a sweet and you can build you own. Great concept but it would be beneficial if the server confirmed the order because we asked for nutella, banana, strawberry, and ice cream and got 2/4. We were in a rush to leave so forgot to check the receipt to see if we were charged for the others; however it was $48 (w/o tip) for 1 panini, 1 crepe and 1 latte so a bit overpriced for the quality of food, in my opinion. The sandwich and crepe were both just okay, nothing to rave about. The drink was aesthetically pleasing with the iced Bear and tasted great. We asked for whipped cream on the latte but our server forgot that too. She also forgot to provide us water until we asked and it came at the end of the meal.  Outside dining was not optimal as it's right next to the railroad tracks and quite loud. There is a kids play area which I thought was a nice addition to the space, but I do wish it was gated off for the younger kids as it's so close to the road! Overall, I found that it was a bit overrated and underwhelming... there are so many restaurants to choose from in the area that I wouldn't opt to come back here.

It was just the three of us, my daughter, my sister in law, and myself, and we were beyond pleased from start to finish. The girls ordered the iced lavender berry matcha latte and the coco cloud matcha smoothie, and they couldn't stop raving about how good they were. I went with the cold pressed Defender juice and the Recharge, both were incredibly fresh and delicious. We decided to share a few plates so we could try a variety, and everything exceeded expectations. The avocado smash, tomato burrata, and spicy ahi tuna, all on gluten free bread, were outstanding. You can truly taste the quality and freshness in every bite. We even ordered the protein waffles for dessert, and they were just as impressive. The ambiance added even more to the experience. The decorations were beautiful and thoughtfully done, and the music created the perfect vibe for a relaxed and enjoyable brunch. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the service. Everyone was warm and welcoming, but the manager or owner, not entirely sure, took things to another level. She went above and beyond by surprising my daughter with a granola cake and birthday candle, such a thoughtful touch that meant so much to us. The food alone had me planning our next visit, but the exceptional service moved that timeline up even sooner. Highly recommend!

Owner Laura introduced me to a few of the most popular menu items. Blue Mystique: This refreshing smoothie is blended with pineapple, banana, mango, and blue spirulina, which contributes to its solid aqua appearance. If you do prefer an alternative beverage, a variety of shots and juices are also an option. 3 Cheese Italian: It's time to take a virtual trip to Italy with this specialty toast. It has its fair share of prosciutto and melted cheeses and is piled high and deep with arugula on jalapeño cheddar toast. Have your utensils handy as you'll definitely need them for this fulfilling starter that practically eats like a meal. OG Acai: This bowl is plentifully packed with acai blend and is topped with multiple fruits, granola, and cacao nibs. You will be satisfied with every bite regardless of whichever topping you choose. As a bonus, a water cooler is available to supplement your meal. Feel free to purchase apparel ranging from hats to sweatshirts. My dining experience at Tostique was exemplary and unique.

I visited Honey Day cafe on a late Saturday morning. I made a reservation online the night before…read morebut we showed up early and we were seated after a short wait. We had several servers handling our order. To start, I had a hot tea with honey. The honey was an interesting consistency and was not as thick as expected. Seemed to be a little watery but the taste was good when mixed in my tea. For appetizer, we split the Crispy Ddukbokki which were sweet & spicy crispy rice cakes with a side of a soft boiled egg, topped with everything seasoning. We both really enjoyed the flavor of these rice cakes. For my main course, I had the Rainbow Salad with grilled chicken. The portion was very good and all of the veggies in the salad were super fresh. The presentation was very pretty. Parking can be a bit tricky but luckily we were able to find parking on one of the side streets. Overall a cute little breakfast/brunch place in the Glen Rock downtown. It does get very busy on weekends so reservations are a must.

I have visited Honey Day Kitchen various times and it has ALWAYS been pleasant meals…read more Reservations are not accepted during weekends, but the staff did a great job at sitting us within ten minutes. We started with a Rose Latte and Cafe Latte. Both beverages were phenomenal, at the perfect temperature, and in large mugs. The entrees were fantastic: Crispy Ddukbokki (sweet and spicy crispy rice cakes, jammy egg, everything seasoning) and the Egg Breakfast (2 eggs, Turkey Bacon, Toast, Tater-Tots). The Ddukbokki was firm, pleasantly spicy, and that sauce was exquisite. The Egg Breakfast was deliciously seasoned and filling. One thing that I appreciate about Honey Day is, that it takes a fair amount of time for the food to be presented. I don't mind that, at all. Once the food arrives, you could tell that it was all made fresh and with appealing presentations. Honey Day will continue to be a breakfast/brunch top pick and hope everyone enjoys their memorable food.

My girlfriend and I visited Tasty Junction for an early dinner one Saturday. They weren't too busy…read moreso it was easy to find a table for 2. Once you sit down you scan a QR Code to order your food and drinks. I was pretty hungry that day so we ended up ordering a ton of food. The drinks were pretty good and they were served in Le Creuset mugs. Not the biggest deal, but I can appreciate some nice drinkware. The bowl of Kimchi Fried rice came out first. It was a generous portion and the rice was cooked well, but I feel like it could've used some more kimchi. The eggs on top were cooked perfectly and added good texture to the dish. The next dish to come out was the HK French toast. The bread was nice and fluffy which paired well with a nice generous drizzle of condensed milk. I enjoyed this a lot. We also ordered scallion pancake, pork barbecue, and bossam baos. These were ok, I would probably pass on a return visit. I felt like the meat in the baos was a little tough though they did have decent flavor. The last entree was the smoked salmon and avocado croissant; I really enjoyed this. It had a generous helping of smoked salmon and avocado as well. The saltiness of the salmon paired well with the creamy and fatty avocado. The croissant was also nice and flaky. It was also served with a house salad which had a nice drizzle of dressing on it too. For dessert we ordered a Black Sesame Souffle Pancake. This was SO good. A few months ago I visited a place in Princeton that specialized in these Japanese-style pancakes and Tasty Junction's version was so much more enjoyable. I loved that it was served with a healthy scoop of ice cream. The pancake was airy and had a bounce to it. Each bite was so good and made even better with the ice cream. I'd definitely come back just for the pancakes. All in all Tasty Junction is a great spot tucked away in Glen Rock

I was hoping for a memorable visit, but it came up short. My Spanish Latte did not have any remnants of condensed milk and the Dirty Chai was on the luke warm side. Aside from waiting one+ hour for the food to be presented, I did not expect the following: The Western Omelet was not flavorful, the ingredients were sparse, and it had a hardened outter coating. The Ridgewood Pancakes were very small, but the amount of fruit was appreciated, and the cheeseburger's side salad did not come with any dressing. The side of Truffle Fries were throughly enjoyed, each fry was pleasantly oily, had a pleasant crunch, and were well seasoned.
