We have been driving by this place for so long finally we decided to give it and try and we were not to impress. Ribeye Sandwich was a disappointment, the steak was not sliced as the menu said it would be. Just throw the steak on a piece of bread and cut it in half. The Humus was nothing special, we asked for more pita and they gave us regular bread instead. They ran out of beer (okay whatever not a big deal I guess that happens). The ran out of Sole, we order the chicken Marsala they brought us the chicken kebab. To their credit they replaced it and gave us free dessert. One of the waiters rigged of cigarettes smoke. It was week night so we were the only party of six at the entire place besides a small event that was taking placing around the bar. With all these 5 star reviews we expected better that's all.

Food for all four of our party was delicious. Salad, Cheeseburgers, and my rack of lamb was perfect. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, service was great. We sat outside on the back patio listening to great music while watching the people play golf on a gorgeous day!! Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. Will be back many more times to come.

Hidden gem! It's actually the gold course restaurant but it's amazing. Great food and service. Outside and inside dining. Salads were large and flavorful and pasta was amazing. Highly recommend if you're in the area even if you don't play golf

I was told this place was under new management, not that I had a problem with previous management but thought I'd leave a review since they've changed the menu. I ordered the lobster roll and asked that they served it warm and it was delicious. Came after a midday tee time and it wasn't that busy at all. Would def come here again.

Decided to try this place out with a friend last Friday night. We have both heard nothing but good things and were excited for a fun night out. The dining room was spacious and had three large TVs which came in handy watching the Mets then Yankees while we were there. We were sat at a cute table near the fire place. To our dismay, the band that was supposed to play that night canceled, so we were a little upset about that, and there weren't many people there either. When we asked our server, he mentioned that the restaurant is under new management. I started with a big goblet of sangria and we ordered the calamari appetizer. My drink was very good and the app was pretty tasty as well, I liked that it came with a creamy spicy sauce in addition to the marinara. For my entree I ordered the Chicken Marsala and my friend ordered the Chicken Milanese. Both portions were very large and both cooked very well. We decided to end our night at the bar for an espresso martini, which was a little too heavy on the Bailey's for me. Overall, food was good and I'd go back another time, hopefully the band will show up!

What a great place! I was so skeptical because of the old owners and how bad it used to be...This is a COMPLETE OPPOSITE! We had the fried calamari (best I've had in a decade!, Barreda cheese was superb. The meatballs were so fresh and full of flavor. If that wasn't enough, the chicken Milanese was thin and tender, fettuccine Alfredo was hand made and so cheesy. But the best was my veal osso buco was fantastic. It was melt in your mouth. Cuts with a spoon! And the desserts were delectable. The owner came to our table and told us about the menu and was a great host. Thank you Sir!! Live music was awesome and the place looks so modern and relaxing. I would highly recommend everyone come here for dinner and you will not be disappointed.

Came here on a Tuesday night with a group of 6- no reservations needed and place was pretty quiet around 7pm. Half the group hung out by the bar while we waited for the other half to get here and chatted it up with some other patrons and the bartender who were all really chill and friendly. The overall ambiance had a very nice clubhouse vibe. I have to first, praise our server Jhoan, who seemed to have been serving the entire place by himself. He seemed to be in the middle of training three young ladies while waiting on about 6-7 tables on his own...so really, hats off to you! With that being said, let's get down to the nitty gritty: Food: mediocre, not the best but not awful..filled me up and tasted good, but nothing spectacular. I ordered a roasted veggie salad and the grilled lamb chop (4 pieces), that my husband and I shared, our friends ordered a brisket sandwich, rib eye stake, Cobb salad, and a rib eye steak sandwich. We ordered the appetizer fried calamari and the grilled octopus to share. The fried calamari was delicious. Probably the best dish of the night. Grilled octopus was ok. A little overcooked and too chewy. I've definitely had better, but the char on the octopus was nice, giving it that crunchy burnt taste. My roasted veggie salad was also delicious- pretty hard to mess up roasted vegetables, if you ask me. I was a little disappointed in the lamb chops as we asked for it to be cooked medium and it came out pretty well-done. My friend's rib eye should've been cooked medium rare but came out more on the rare side...a little TOO bloody...there really isn't much to say about the rest of the food two other sandwiches was ok- again, not food to rave about. My friends Cobb salad came with no dressing but that was an easy fix.. Service: well, really not the best. While our server was amazing, it didn't seem like the staff had that much knowledge about the food menu or drink menu. The three girls that was 'helping' didn't know what beers were offered and had to run and ask the bartender what they had. Really, working at any new place, I'd be more prepared and knowledgeable about the menu of the place I'm working. Our tables weren't cleared from our appetizer dish so when our entrees came, we were stacking our own plates to make room. No one came to take the empty dishes away until another person came and got it out of the way for us. When our plates were empty, we were asked 'do you want me to take that away?' ...which probably should've sounded more like 'are you finished with this? Can I get this out of your way?' Maybe I'm being too picky with the choice of words but really, the girls weren't trying that hard to provide good service. At the end of the meal, the girls all came and started collecting our plates while joking about something they were discussion earlier and one of the girls did a snort, spit, laugh during the dish collection. Highly unprofessional and immature. At one point, all three girls hung out behind the bar talking to two other people while the main server ran around waiting on all the tables. If it weren't for our main server Jhoan who recognized when one of our meals was missing and ran back and forth to the kitchen to get us ketchup for our fries, made sure our meals had what was written on the menu, and ensured our table had water replenished, I would given this place a two star review. The staff really was very friendly and nice, but the training process could've gone a little differently. It was a good day to train- I can't imagine what that place would be if they had trained three new servers on a Saturday evening. Overall, the place was fine, if you're already on the golf course or you're there with your family for mini golf. But I wouldn't come here again for the food or the prices. Kudos to the staff who were attentive and friendly. Keep in mind that a 20% gratuity is automatically added onto parties of 6 or more

We had a great time last night listening to the dueling piano players. They were amazing! The appetizers were really good. The Meatballs, wings, nachos, calamari and quesadillas were all excellent. The entrees were just ok. Several in our group had hamburgers and said they were very thin and not good. Others had chicken kebabs and filet Mignon which were ok. The service was excellent and the owner/manager checked on us many times. The place had a fun vibe and was packed and we would go back again depending on the entertainment. We just would not order burgers next time. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with a party of three, we got a table outside pretty quick but due to a major event inside, the service was not attentive. The drinks were as strong as Hercules, maybe to help us forget about the abnormal wait time for simple dish such as a chicken quesadilla. The chicken came out an hour later after ordering, undercooked, rubbery, and downright nasty. The table across and next to us barely touched their food as well and to be honest it seemed they were very overwhelmed from the event, and thus the service and food was subpar. The plus side I may lose couple pounds this weekend from the undercook chicken, eat your heart out Ozempic. read more

First time eating here, and was so disappointed. We were sat outside which was great. It is a lovely place for outside seating. The service was good. Our waiter was nice and the food came out in good time. That being said, it was the food that was extremely disappointing. My husband ordered the lamb chops. They were extremely bland. His french fries were flavorless. They tasted like leftover fries that were microwaved. My daughter ordered fettuccine Alfredo and it was okay, not spectacular. I ordered eggplant parm and my first bite i knew it was terrible. It tasted like a stouffers frozen dinner. The sauce was horrible and very pasty. Such a disappointment. I really was expecting more from a place with a great atmosphere. I will say i would go back to the patio and have a couple drinks, but I would never get food there again. Shame. read more

If I was writing this review after my first visit there would be more stars. My first visit was pleasant. I was greeted promptly and was treated well. Our order was taken and food delivered quickly and accurately. The server checked on us and was friendly. We were very happy. This was December 30. So we decided to try again January 2 and had a very different experience. Although we were greeted nicely that's where it ends. We sat down and ordered at 11:15am. Not a difficult order Avocado toast with poached eggs and a grilled chicken sandwich. And let me say that we were two of three people in the place. At 12pm I thought it was strange that there was no food out yet. So I asked about our order and was told it was almost ready. She delivers a sandwich to my husband and tells me my eggs were coming. My husband looks at the sandwich before taking a bite and realizes he was brought a BLT and not his grilled chicken. We ask the server to come over and advise her that the wrong sandwich was delivered. You could see she was annoyed but was it directed to us that was the question. Mind you I still have no eggs. It takes even more time now for the correct sandwich to be delivered then my eggs. The chicken was dry and rubbery and my eggs were cold and overdone. At this time there were more people on the place and they were all getting the wrong orders. Not sure what to make of all of this but I hope for their sakes they work out these "kinks". read more

My husband and I had a great dinner at Taverna on the Green. Everyone is very friendly and the service is great! The fried calamari was lightly breaded and very tender. The Mediterranean salad had a lot of chopped fresh vegetables in it topped with a delicious dressing. I had the chard octopus with sautéed vegetables, which was tender like butter, and very flavorful. My husband ordered the vegetable rigatoni and loved his dish, as well. I recommend the Boen Pinot Noir. It has a medium body with dark fruit, undertones, and priced very fair. All in all, I think their prices are fair.

Enjoyed a wonderful evening with my Husband on Valentine's Day at Taverna on the Green. It was a relaxed vibrant atmosphere. The ambiance includes a fireplace, live music, and attentive, friendly service. There was a special holiday menu with a variety of options. We started with the Meatballs which were tender and served in an old world flavorful sauce with garlic toast and Calamari which were crispy and tender perfection. There was enough to share in both dishes. The main course, crabmeat stuffed Sole with a scampi sauce and the Salmon with shrimp in a pink champagne sauce were savory and flavorful. We finished our meal with a complimentary slice of Red Velvet cake an Irish Coffee and Cappuccino. Everything was delicious and perfect portions.

10/5 Stars!! We…read morerecently had my Mom's 60th birthday party at the Railyard Tavern. I worked with Bob in coordinating everything. He was very accommodating and quick to reply to email. He was a big help in answering any question I had. Our party was roughly 25 people and we reserved the back room for the party. The back room was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably without it feeling cramped. We ordered the apps ahead of time and were told that they would be ready at 5:30. Sure enough, at 5:30 all of the apps came out and they were a big hit. Everything was fantastic. We got some large pizzas, nachos, mozzarella sticks, potstickers, and calamari. There was practically nothing left. The entree's were great and came without delay. I didn't hear a single complaint from any of the guests. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about our waiter for the night, Alan. I don't think I've ever seen someone be so on top of things before. He handled the whole room essentially by himself and somehow it never seemed like there was a single hiccup the whole night. He was beyond excellent.

Our server was very pleasant and made us feel welcome right away. We went on a Sunday evening, and the back dining area was almost empty. If you're looking for a livelier vibe, the front is probably the better choice, but the back works great for something more quiet and intimate. I was craving the bolognese, but they were out that night, so we ordered the candied nut and beet salad and the pepperoni pizza with honey. Both were very good, but the salad definitely made more of a "wow" impression. Overall, we had a really pleasant time.

We stopped in mid-week for a family dinner after work and even on a Wednesday the place was buzzing. The restaurant itself is pretty tiny, which makes for a cozy atmosphere but also means tables are very close together. If you can, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The menu is somewhat minimal, but the food overall was good. I eat gluten-free and noticed the options were a bit limited, which made ordering slightly challenging. I ended up going with the sea scallops. They were nicely cooked, but the portion was smaller than I expected--five small scallops with some vegetables. For the price, I do wish the portion had been a bit more generous. I have to admit I left still a little hungry. My dad ordered the short rib grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. That was probably the standout dish at our table. My sister ordered the honey bourbon chicken and said it was okay, but afterward she mentioned she probably should have gone with the short rib grilled cheese instead. One surprise of the night was live music on a Wednesday. I usually enjoy live music, but since we were hoping to catch up as a family it made conversation a little difficult. The music was fairly loud for such a small space. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. They also have a rewards program, which worked out nicely--my dad received a complimentary dessert for his birthday. I ordered the crème brûlée, which was a great way to end the meal. A couple practical tips: parking in Ridgewood can be tricky. The restaurant advertises valet parking, though we didn't use or see it during our visit. If you find street parking, make sure to feed the meter because the town is known for giving out tickets. In warmer months they do offer some outdoor sidewalk seating, though it looks fairly limited. It also appears they have a happy hour, though we didn't arrive in time to try it. Overall, I'd recommend checking out Steel Wheel Tavern--just be mindful of the timing of your visit, especially if you're hoping for a quieter dinner.

From working with Janet, the general manager, to Joe, the chef, everything was seamless. The team was professional, flexible, incredibly accommodating, and genuinely a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. They created a custom menu that thoughtfully covered a wide range of dietary needs--vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more--and handled every request with ease. No one felt limited, and the food was fantastic across the board. The indoor/outdoor setup was perfect for our group, and they helped us bring our vision to life by accommodating custom music, a photo booth, specialty cocktails, and even a slideshow on their screens. They also made sure there was plenty of bar staff, so service stayed quick and smooth all night--no long lines, just great energy. Truly a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend The Green Lounge for any large event!

I recently visited Taverna on the Green for a friend's birthday celebration, and it turned out to be disaster. Our evening was riddled with disappointments from start to finish. Firstly, our reservation was for 7 PM, but we were not served our dinner until after 9:30 PM. The service was painfully slow, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and unresponsive to our needs. When the food finally arrived, it was only for half the table. The rest of our party had to wait an additional 20 minutes to receive their meals. By the time dinner was served, we were all so hungry and disappointed that we had our coats on, ready to leave.The quality of the drinks was another letdown. The Sauvignon Blanc, in particular, was so sour that it was undrinkable. I had come to the restaurant after a long day and just wanted a nice glass of wine to put me at ease. Additionally, the music was excessively loud, to the point where it was impossible to have a conversation even with the person right next to me. This added to the already stressful environment. Overall, our experience was deeply unsatisfying and far from what one would expect. It was a night that was supposed to be a joyous celebration but ended up being memorable for all the wrong reasons. The manager did comp us for part of the bill including our entrees, but somehow it still ended up costing us over $60 per person, for what exactly I'm still not sure. I hate to leave such a negative review, but hopefully it will spare someone else from having such a disappointing experience. read more

My wife and I recently visited Taverna on the Green in Paramus, NJ and we were blown away by our experience. The restaurant is located adjacent to the greens of the Paramus Golf Course, offering a spectacular view and live entertainment. The atmosphere is elegant and upscale, yet open to the public so everyone can enjoy. The menu is filled with local favorites and innovative specials. We were impressed by the quality of the food and the presentation of each dish. One dish that stood out to us was the pulled pork burger - it's a must-try! The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Overall, we highly recommend Taverna on the Green for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Bergen County. We can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious dishes! Yuber and Sheryl Calzadilla read more

This restaurant is absolutely amazing in every way. It features a scratch kitchen that uses local perveyors insuring that the ingredients are of the highest quality. The service was very polite and attentive to our every need. The ambience and atmosphere was beautiful and we look forward to the spring as their outdoor dining has spectacular view of the golf course. Tavern also features live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. They also have great parking. read more
