    Private dinner event menu
    Michaela P.

    Always like the Brick House. It is a bit on the pricey side, but have always enjoyed the food and find the staff courteous. Their pastas are always a hit, as are their fish dishes and salads. I have found their steaks to be hit or miss. For apps we love their eggplant rollatini, calamari and stuffed mushrooms. The smoked fish is also delicious. Extensive drink menu and love the addition of the cigar bar. They also have various rooms which you can rent out for private parties.

    Been coming since since it was Brick House. This is a place where the total experience from staff and vibes with the food is always great. They know how to hire well here - most of the staff been here for years and every one of them warm, friendly and professional. Here I enjoy mostly the steaks / especially porterhouse for two. Had family and friends events here too. A happy place to go to.

    Came here for a birthday and it was great. From the food to the drinks and the service, everything was amazing. The seafood sampler was a favorite and very fresh. We also got fried calamari, cheesy bread, eggplant Parm, penne vodka, salad, and antipasto spread for apps. For the mains we had the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly and so good (I don't even usually like that cut) and the salmon. It was a bit overcooked on the inside for me but the ends and the sauce were delicious. The drinks were perfectly balanced. The staff was so helpful and very nice.

    I visited Brick House for dinner at 5pm on a Wednesday. The parking lot was packed and it was surprisingly very difficult to find a parking spot. At some point they did open the valet lot up which helped. The restaurant was cozy inside with a fireplace near our table. Our waiter was awesome. Very knowledgeable regarding the menu items. We ordered an assortment of items from the appetizer menu. The stuffed mushrooms were quite literally the bomb dot com. I could eat those every day. For my entree I ordered the french onion soup and the cod which came with a salad and baked potato. The french onion soup was good. The cod was just okay. The menu was overall very expensive. If it wasn't for business I most likely wouldn't be going here for a night out on my own. I did enjoy my visit and my mouth is watering again just thinking about those stuffed mushrooms.

    Disgusting excuse for a chimichurri
    Joyce B.

    I expected a nice steakhouse dinner. What I got was not good. Our waiter came and it looked as if we were bothering him by being there. He even kind of through up his hands because only 2 of my party of 4 had their drink order ready he just walked off. Extremely rude. He came back and seemed like he was extremely rushed forgot that 2 of us ordered already. Maybe the food will be better and worth his rudeness. We order the bacon and smoked fish as an app. Delicious which is the only reason it got 2 stars. Our salads seem to have been forgotten since it took an hour to get them and only when I mentioned it did they come out 10 minutes later. An overdressed soggy mess. We all ordered steak all not cooked to the medium rare we all wanted. Ranging from medium to well. There was no sear on my steak a ribeye. And almost burnt on everyone else's filet. I ordered chimichurri to go with my steak it was absolutely disgusting see pictures for reference. It was literally olive oil with some yellow green stuff at the bottom. It was an horrible excuse for a sauce. When the tray of our food came out that same waiter served half the tray walked off sang happy birthday to another table and I stopped him as he was walking by us after and pointed to the half filled tray of our food and seemed totally irritated with me and said yes your food I'm not done. I have never seen someone serve half the food walk off and then almost forget he didn't finish. On top of the bad food and horrendous service you can hear the other waitstaff yelping at each other. This was an absolute train wreck of a place.

    When arriving there is valet parking but you can self park as well. Main foyer/entrance is beautiful, main bar area is nice too, but some of the dining areas are a bit dated or starting crack a bit in the walls. My party and I were a sizeable group, 6 adults and 2 kids and a toddler, so I understand that confusion was bound to happen with a lot going on, plus with other large dining groups in the same room, for the waiter serving us. He forgot a few things or needing remindjng for certain things, but not the worst experience that I had. Food portions overall were pretty large, and/or worth the price. Some dishes were a little dry or over seasoned, but again, not the worst that I have experienced. Would truly give a 3.5 rating if I could, over just 3. If I were to be in the area, I would come again, to give it another try, with the hopes tipping the scale to be a 4 star experience or a true 3 star experience.

We asked for ranch, but what came out looked and tasted like a cheesy dip (as pictured- you can literally see chunks of cheese in it). We even compared it side by side with their Caesar dressing which was same texture, just a different color. Isn't ranch supposed to be creamy? The French dip sandwich was another letdown. The roast beef was super dry, barely any pink, and the au jus sauce looked like the last bit scraped from the bottom of the pot. Very light in color when it should be a rich dark brown. One look and I knew it wouldn't taste right. Then came the burger, which was so undercooked that the blood soaked through the bottom bun (as pictured).

The restaurant is very pretty overall, though the interior is quite dim, making it difficult to read the menu without additional light. The tables were also placed fairly close together.

The tuna tataki was flavorful; however, the taro chips were very thin and tended to break easily when holding the tuna. For our main courses, we ordered the Icelandic cod, rigatoni, Freebird chicken, and a side of whipped potatoes. Dessert was the hazelnut chocolate crunch, which was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, the food was enjoyable. That said, the pricing felt more in line with a fine dining experience, while the atmosphere and service were closer to an upscale casual restaurant. Some small details, such as the whipped potatoes being served without a serving spoon, stood out. While minor, these details can make a difference, especially at this price point.

First things first as I'm sure other reviewers have flagged but Lula is BYOB. We forgot that memo but luckily they partner up and recommend local wine / liquor distributors who are able and willing to swing down to the restaurant with a bottle of your favorite thing. Prices are high (on-par with what you'd expect from NYC fine dining) but the ambiance isn't stuffy and staff were kind, friendly and generally attentive. Note that the restaurant is generally loud (there is no music) so you might find yourself raising your voice to talk to your partner. The restaurant was completely busy so reservations are necessary though thankfully did not find it as competitive as NYC to get a prime-time Saturday night dinner reservation. The focaccia, a staple on Lula's menu, was excellent though I would do without the +$3 additional sardine sauce / accompaniment which I felt was unnecessary. The beef tartare was my personal favorite, light and delicious and a generous portion paired with the cream sauce and chips. We were generally satisfied by the time our entrees came out and I really enjoyed the salmon / fish dish they served along with the clams. Finishing with the Baked Alaska was also excellent (though not game-changing) and we enjoyed our time here. Would recommend a visit and think there's enough going on nearby to warrant a trip to Ridgewood, NJ regardless!

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

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.

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.
