    Philly cheesesteak rolls

    Stopped by the barn for drinks and appetizers. It's an interesting looking place with a nice casual vibe. I got a beer and my friend got wine. We split two appetizers, friend pickles and Philly cheesesteak rolls. The fried pickles were a little batter heavy but I enjoyed the sauce they came with. The Philly cheesesteak rolls were on the specials and they were crispy and came with a nice chipotle dipping sauce. I was a little bit between a 3 and a 4 but just felt it was average with average service. I would come back to try burgers or something they are more known for.

    This is a great neighborhood find! It was an old barn, that has been a restaurant for quite some time. It is nothing fancy,very casual but they do have valet parking. It is like eating inside a barn. Everything is wood inside. I don't believe they take reservations. The two of us arrived on a Friday night right before 5:30 and we were seated right away. However, by the time we left at 6:45 the entire bar and every table in the place was full and there was a line out the door. We came to try the ribs and we thought they were really good. However, my husband's was cooked perfectly and mine was a little bit burnt, but I still really enjoyed them. The sangria was excellent and I'm not a huge fan of sangria. We can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu. Everything that each table was getting around us looked delicious. The staff was friendly and checked on us after we received our food. I can't believe we waited so long to try this place.

    Go here for a drink, the ribs or to get the loaded potato skins, and I keep coming back to the filet tips over mashed. Kids liked the mac and cheese. Maybe the steak could use more salt to be raised a star in my honest opinion...the crave ability factor that I seek in food is missing. The bar is always on point. The owner is always there which I think is the secret to success. I'd also love to see a special that becomes my new go to but I feel like this is a a great place for you burger lovers that want to be taken back to another time. In terms of opportunities, I get annoyed bc I'm forced to valet my new car and tip the workers. Id also like to see some more tasty progressive new vegetarian options on the menu!

The restaurant is nicely decorated and the hard working staff were non-stop, satisfying the fully-commited attendance. Thank goodness that I made reservations, which I highly suggest, or else you're going to probably have a double digit wait time. I was very impressed with the serving sizes and the freshness of their ingredients. I also appreciated how they placed the salad that accompanied my omelet in a separate bowl. The entrees were: Truffle Infused Wild Mushroom Omelette (wild mushrooms, shaved parmesan, roasted potato hash, and a side salad). Every bite was filled with every ingredient and this item is highly recommended. Whiskey Burger (8 Oz. beef patty, double cut bacon, apple jack barbecue sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, pickle, caramelized onions). This burger was juicy, throughout, and the sweet potato fries side was heavenly salty. The last entree was the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (whipped ricotta, lemon zest, fresh fruit and berries). Theses pancakes were t.h.i.c.k. and the fruit was plentiful. I also ordered an Apple and Pear Salad for takeout and it was AMAZING! It was large enough for two servings and the vinaigrette dressing was exquisite. Morning Bloom will be a top choice, going forward, and.....btw, after you're done with your meal, you could stroll through Allendale's many Main Street businesses.

(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?

The highlight was definitely the Stuffed French Toast. It looked beautiful, and I expected it to be overly sweet, but it was surprisingly well balanced. The toast was soft with a slightly crispy exterior, and the cream cheese filling paired really well with the strawberry compote. We also ordered the BLT+. The smoked bacon was delicious, but the focaccia was a little too thin and hard, making it harder to eat than I expected. The house-made sausage was good, just not particularly memorable. As for the coffee, it was probably the most disappointing part of the meal. The latte wasn't very smooth, and the cold brew had a slight off taste. They were both drinkable, just not something I'd order again. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the food and the atmosphere, especially if you're interested in the French toast. There's also parking behind the restaurant, which makes visiting easy.

The prosciutto pizza was a standout--light, refreshing, and the crispy crust was perfect. Everyone at the table ordered a different pasta entree, and we were all impressed. The penne vodka sauce was creamy, flavorful, and rich without being too heavy. One small issue: we ordered a lot of appetizers, and no one came to clear the plates before our entrees arrived. With a smaller table, it got cramped and messy, and we had to ask someone to take the finished dishes. It felt a little sloppy and lack of service for an otherwise great experience. Especially since we had to ask someone other than our server for boxes and the check since she wasn't attentive. That said, the food definitely makes up for it. I'll absolutely be coming back!

Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The chocolate cream pie was more of a chocolate mousse. It was a little pricey too. Almost $90.00 with tip. Nothing bad about the experience, but I don't know if I'd go back.

Service was slower but efficient when it came to our food coming out. The only complaint was they had an issue with their ticketing system so all out of food came out at once instead of in courses. The filet tips were good but the portion was way bigger than we were expecting. The appetizer alone was extremely filling and well flavored. The cacio e Pepe was an enormous portion compared to places I've had before. The flavor was rich and thick and creamy and not too peppery. The chicken francese was a huge portion as well and well flavored. The queen pizza came out at the same time as all of food so we ate one or two slices but mainly focused on our entrees. We brought so much food home. Everything was delicious. My only complaint was the AC was on so high I was freezing and thankfully had a light jacket in my car. I look forward to going back to Pazza and trying more of their food and hopefully having room for dessert next.
