Brunch Review... We…read morewere a small group of 5 last weekend. I made reservations a week ahead at 11:00. Honestly if you come before 12:00 that's probably not necessary. For drinks, she had a Mimosa Flight and I chose the Hazelnut Wake-Me-Up. That had double espresso vodka, espresso, milk, maple syrup & whipped cream. Yum. :) A little strong and good. Our meals were Pork Roll Benny for her and I chose their Short Rib Hash with 2 sunny side eggs. We enjoyed them both. Our server Angela did a great job on a busy Sunday morning. Gotta mention that Half Moon is pretty big inside. Location is on the second floor. Parking is available across the street in a lot and just remember to pre pay. No dessert this time and our cost was $40 each with a tip. As always... Enjoy

We're planning to try their other seafood choices next time.

The staff paid attention to our note as to the cause for celebration when booking and proceeded to go above and beyond to ensure we had a really special dinner. And beyond that, the food and drink were delicious. The caviar and donuts are a MUST (as are the oysters) and we will be dreaming about them for the foreseeable future. It was such a cozy spot to enjoy on a rainy night too. We are already planning to come back for some burgers and martinis at the bar!! Thank you for a memorable dinner and kind note xo!!

The kofitini is easily my favorite, but they have so many unique drinks I could rave about. They also sell bottles to take home -- I've brought the lemon beary pie martini to a party before and it was a hit. I can't speak enough about the amazing hospitality here. Whenever I visit with people who have never been to 3BR Distillery, they take the time to tell our party about their origin story. They've also brought us samples of their Mendel pea vodka and they've happily answered any questions we've had about the distillery. Drinks always come out pretty quickly and they regularly refill our waters and clear the table when possible. The Soviet-inspired theming is so unique and offers a piece of history in their decor. There's plenty of seating, including some cozy areas on the couches towards the front. They have some board games and card games you can grab and play, but you're also welcome to bring your own games if you'd like. This establishment is also bring your own food! 3BR Distillery also has a bunch of events listed on their calendar. I've visited for live soul jazz music a couple times now, and I'll definitely be back for other events.

Ou La Restaurant & Bar is the kind of place you want to see succeed. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe service was warm, professional and genuinely attentive. Our entire party wasn't there yet, but we were seated anyway, which I really appreciated. The staff checked in on us consistently without being overbearing, and while we waited for the rest of our party, we were asked if we wanted a drink. That small gesture stood out to me because a lot of restaurants will make you wait until everyone arrives before they even offer you anything. Here, they made us feel welcomed right away. Now, the food. We ordered the steak and eggs, island oxtail burrito, island burger with egg, and I decided to make my own combination. I ordered the Ou La wings and asked if I could get a side of diri jon jon (Haitian black mushroom rice). They were happy to accommodate the request, and everyone enjoyed their meals. One thing that really impressed me was how quickly an issue with the steak was handled. The steak had been ordered medium well, but came out well done. It was mentioned, and once it was brought to the chef's attention, the chef came back just a couple of minutes later with the steak prepared the way it was originally requested. A big deal wasn't made about it, so the fact that he took the initiative to correct it so quickly said a lot to me about how seriously they take their customers and food. And then there was the kremas! I noticed that they had a cocktail called Café Kremas, which is essentially an espresso version of a traditional kremas. It sounded interesting, but I really wanted to try the kremas by itself. I asked, and they were more than happy to accommodate me. Again, that willingness to listen and make the customer happy really stood out. The ambiance is beautiful. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, from the aesthetics to the layout. There's a separate bar area, and you can actually see the chefs working and preparing the food, which adds to the experience. Ou La is doing something special. The food was good, the atmosphere is beautiful, but what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was pleasant, attentive, professional, and clearly focused on making sure the customers were taken care of. If you're thinking about eating at this restaurant, I'm telling you to do it. Support this business and tip well. We need more restaurants that understand great food is only part of the experience. Customer service is important, and Ou La gets that. There is metered parking directly in front of the restaurant. If those spots are full, there's additional parking in the lot behind the restaurant near the church. I would also suggest making a reservation, especially if you're planning to go during a busy brunch or dinner service.

Viva Margarita There…read moreare several Viva Margarita restaurants throughout New Jersey, and I've had the opportunity to visit both the Hackensack location and the one in Hazlet The consistency between the two is remarkable. From the vibrant décor and lively atmosphere to the warm, attentive service, both restaurants deliver the same high-quality experience. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. Add an excellent selection of margaritas and an impressive collection of tequilas, and you have all the ingredients for a memorable meal. The tableside guacamole is simple but very good. Since it's prepared right at your table, you can customize the spice level to your liking. The steak tampiqueña is, in my opinion, the best north of Tampico. The flank steak was tender, juicy, perfectly marinated, and expertly cooked. Served with rice, refried beans, warm tortillas, and traditional accompaniments, it was simply exceptional. The impeccable service elevated an already excellent meal into a truly enjoyable dining experience.

Maybe I misunderstood the description, but I expected the Creole flavors to come through more. Instead, the dish tasted heavily of tomato and seemed to be missing some of the additional seasonings I was expecting. The orzo was also overcooked, which made it very soft and easy to break apart. That said, the lobster bisque was absolutely divine, and the fries were perfectly crunchy. Despite my meal not being my favorite, the restaurant itself is beautiful. It was pouring outside during my visit, but the waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, which definitely added to the experience. I would still love to return and try some of the other items on the menu. I especially want to experience their outdoor seating--it looks absolutely gorgeous with the lighting! Overall, it's a beautiful restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, and I'm looking forward to giving it another try.

Parking is street parking. With all the snow, parking was more difficult I believe. The place isn't huge but the vibe was spot on. Our server was top tier.

To eat I got the Cajun Shrimp and Cheesy Gritz. She got the Oreo waffle, a side of bacon and eggs. I also got the Fried Cinnamon Bun for dessert. I asked our server to surprise me with a drink. He gave me the Toasted Almond. The entire experience was just beautiful. We sat there for about 3 hours just chatting and they never rushed us out. I would definitely go back.

First, we would like to thank Syed Raza. We are full of appreciation and gratitude for the many ways in which you made yourself personally available to meet our needs. This is a trait that is very hard to find these days - but I am so glad we did. You were always professional, yet kind and attentive, reassuring and extremely patient with my husband and I. How can we thank you? Syed is very hands-on, detail oriented and those qualities left us with not a single issue to worry about. Syed responded to my many, many questions and requests without hesitation. He made sure that we had no worries when it came to our daughter's party. The Gramercy is breathtakingly beautiful. Upon our first arrival, and after our first meeting, we decided to look no further. The décor is ultra contemporary and I promise you, it does not disappoint. (So many guests asked how did I find this place - and the compliments were endless!!!) The food was amazing and the selections were just as superb. Paulina - we love you! You made our night perfect by attending to our every need. I recommend the Gramercy for your event needs - you will get everything you're looking for and more.
