Table set at bar
Kaitlyn F.

This place is beautiful! We came for happy hour and wow it was delicious. I wish we were more hungry to try more food. Parking is difficult. There is valet parking that cost $15. The bartender was nice and attentive. I had a delicious Cosmo. We spilt a burger which was sooo good.

We came back to celebrate our wedding anniversary last night. Food is still great , I love everything we ordered and we also enjoyed their cocktails, but I am taking 1 star off for the expensive valet parking ( $15) .

I visited Ventana's for a birthday celebration. The ambience was definitely 10 out of 10. The host greeted us very well and we were seated immediately. We did have a reservation and I do suggest you make a reservation. It was a Saturday night and after dinner at a certain hour they move the tables and it becomes a dance floor. we definitely were able to hear some really good music after we had dinner. There is a very large dining area as well as an outside patio. on the outside patio were some people, smoking cigars and a really nice area for photos. There is valet parking or you can find a parking lot that is near. Now for the food. I did not have any alcoholic drinks, but the menu of cocktails looked amazing. I had the half roasted chicken meal and it came with vegetables. The vegetables were extremely fresh and well seasoned the roasted chicken wasn't bad. I think it could have cooked for a few seconds longer. It was a little too Soft for my liking however, the taste was very good. I would recommend this restaurant and I'm looking forward to visiting again.

BAO Buns

Came here 11/19 for my birthday dinner and this place was nothing short of amazing and Jason was simply the best!!! When I came it wasn't busy busy since it was a weeknight but they had the music playing which was good the drinks were also good as well!! The ambiance was just 10/10 from the decor to the setting overall!! The food was sooo good they did not miss those lobster dumpling omgggg I dream about them lol and the bao buns are good as well. For entrees we got the Tokyo lobster which was good just wish they didn't put so much saffron ontop for decor! And the chicarron meal that pork was so crispy and flavorful!! For dessert I got the chocolate balloon and honestly might be one of the best desserts I had at ah restaurant! Definitely will be back again to try more things.

Sushi

Came here for a girls' birthday brunch last weekend and really enjoyed our meal. I had been to an event at the Modern before but never at Ventanas so I was looking forward to checking it out and glad I did! We got there and valet parking was $10 but I think there is a lot that you can park for 3 complimentary hours. Since we were late, we opted for the valet. The decor is very elegant with super high ceilings and a panoramic view of the lake/park. Our server was Dejan and he and his team were awesome! Started with the hanging bacon appetizer, empanadas/churros and tuna seared rice. Everything was great but the bacon stood out to me bc it was so thickly sliced and beautifully presented table side. We also took advantage of the bottomless brunch. I started with the Bloody Mary which comes with a piece of bacon in it! It was really good and perfectly horseradished! I took a sip of the gin drink and it was so good, I ordered that thru the rest of the meal. I got the chilaquiles with short rib and it was delicious! For dessert, we shared the s'mores and the staff was so sweet for putting a candle and singing to our friend. Tip was included for our party of four so just take a peek before signing. We tipped extra bc our service was great. I plan on coming back for happy hours and other meals. If I lived in the Modern, I would be here several times a week.

Birthday deserts
Allegra H.

I celebrated my birthday here with family and I had a beautiful experience. The service was satisfactory and the wait staff was very friendly. Everything was prepared to perfection and the portions were decent. The sushi came with eight medium sized rolls and I ordered the scallop and prawn over pasta as my entrée. Everything was delicious. My family was happy and the ambience was fabulous as usual. I went the weekend before Valentine's Day, and they had musicians playing live music, which gave a special touch to the occasion. It's a little pricey, but well worth every penny. I can't wait to go back.

Lobster and steak
Nicole G.

It's just a vibe. The stars are for our attentive server. Over cooked steak, cocktails were inconsistent and it's pricey.

Jellyfish lights
Michele G.

This restaurant was so pretty and I didn't expect the ambiance to be as magical as it was. There's a bar located in the middle of the restaurant, above it huge jelly fish lights. The service was great, everyone catered to us accordingly. There were a few birthday celebrations! I had a few appetizers, didn't get to take a picture of everything because we dived right in. I noticed the restaurant had a lounge also where you can do bottle service and there's a dj. So it's a one stop shop after eating, you can go party! I plan on celebrating my next birthday there!

Churrasco
Roslynn I.

The food was amazing! The clothesline bacon it was truly an experience! I had the churrasco, crispy potatoes, tostones and it was delicious! I also had the bestttt espresso martinis and I'm picky with my martini's but it was great! My bf & friends husband also enjoyed cigars and we had such an amazing double date with our friends! We even danced at the end of the night

We visited for the 2nd time to celebrate another birthday. We had a reservation for a Saturday evening. We were able to make the reservation a few days prior. Upon arrival, we did valet and it was $10. The restaurant has a nice vibe. The DJ was setting up when we arrived. We arrived earlier than our reservation and they offered us the option of waiting by the bar (they have an indoor and outdoor one). The outdoor area is really nice but the tables are so close together. We felt awkward getting through to get to the outdoor bar. We hear most upon arrival being asked if they wanted indoor or outdoor seating. We weren't asked and were initially gonna be sat outside. We requested an indoor table and they were able to accommodate that rather quickly. I was set on ordering the churrasco again but decided to get the Chicharron Pork Shank instead because I remembered how good it was when my fiancé ordered it last time. He ordered the Grilled Chicken Asado and a side of pineapple fried rice. I ordered a margarita but honestly was not a fan of the mix they used so I didn't drink more than 3 sips. The service was great! Jeisson, our waiter, was great. He was friendly and checked in regularly. Our water was constantly being refilled by the staff. Overall it was another great experience. It is pricey though so unfortunately we only manage to go for special occasions. I would recommend it to others!

Came to Ventanas with my husband to celebrate our anniversary and I included that in the reservation and the staff knew which was nice.  Our waitress Caitlin was absolutely amazing.  She was knowledgable, patient, super attentive and just really such a sweet girl. The entire staff was super helpful and attentive. Dishes were consistently picked up and the table was kept neat -even being wiped down in between courses which was very impressive. To start we had the crispy rice with tuna and ceviche served with plantain chips.  For entree, we shared the scallops, octopus and prawns dish along with maduros and pineapple fried rice for sides. Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh and flavorful.  I couldn't tell you which was my favorite because everything was so good. For dessert, we had the lollipop cheesecake and the cuatro leches- the sliced almonds paired so nicely with the cuatro leches. The desserts each came with a chocolate plaque that read "Happy Anniversary" and a candle - such a nice touch.  The espresso martinis were also delicious with the perfect amount of froth. After dinner, we walked around and saw the red room where the private events are held.  The restaurant is beautiful.  Overall, we had such an amazing night celebrating our anniversary and Ventanas made it very memorable for us.  We raved about our experience the entire ride back home to long island! I highly recommend visiting Ventanas! 10/10 The only thing I will say that did not sit well was the $10 fee charged by valet. Had we known we would of done street parking. As an upscale restaurant, valet should be a complimentary service.

Passion fruit cake and chocolate mousse cake

More of a 3.5, but I'll round up to a 4. This place curates an "old school" Hollywood party. Atmosphere is perfect for posting on Instagram - lots of interesting backgrounds and things to look at. Service was very nice and attentive. Food was mostly good, but a bit overpriced and not exactly worth it for the quality of what you get. Husband's steak was very undercooked when he asked for well done - they did take it back and fix it. I really enjoyed the filet maduro roll - lots of flavors and textures. For tonight (NYE) they were doing valet for $10 - not sure if this is always the case. Overall a fun atmosphere and is better to go to with friends instead of on a date.

This place was amazing. This establishment was able to create a Miami feel night club in…read moreBergenfield. I was really is disbelief when I walked through the establishment.  There as outdoor/indoor space for hookah was on the first floor. The upper level is where I spent the majority of the time. The bar was slow but that how it in a night club most times. The drinks were delicious. All the staff were friendly. There were multiple places throughout the establishment which were set up with a back drop to snap pictures.  The vibe on the top floor blew my mind. I never imaged there would be a place like this is Bergenfield. There were dancers on stilts, confetti, smoke machines, and a screen to watch the dj. I enjoyed myself.

Beautiful setting and great vibes if you are looking to chill out or party with your friends…read more Service was quite good but Food options was quite limited when compared to the Drinks Menu, and price was definitely on the higher end, which was still acceptable for such a spot. We had ordered Guacamole which tasted kind of bland and was just average. Drinks were pretty good though. My main issue was how they have setup their Hookah. Very limited Flavors to begin with and except for one, all other flavors were not so great. On top of that, they charge $10 extra to replace the Coals. $10 for COALS..?!?!? I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious. Switching the complete bowl with new flavor was $20, so obviously we ended up opting for that eventhough the 1st bowl/flavour was still good and just needed new coals.

I looooove this place! Definitely my new spot…read more Had a really great experience at De Novo. I ordered the squid ink spaghetti along with the mussels and fries, and everything was delicious. My sister got the short rib, she said it was a tad dry but very tasty, the polenta was so good! The squid ink pasta was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the mussels were fresh. The fries were also really good, which sounds simple but makes a difference. The customer service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the view is absolutely amazing, definitely adds to the whole experience. Would absolutely come back. We also got a brownie with caramel gelato. Can't wait to come back!

We've always seen this place as we drove down river road so decided to give it a try for a weekday…read moredinner. Grabbed a reservation and on arrival were taken to our seats. The lady helping us that night was friendly and even helped us make choices that was best for us which we appreciated. We ordered four different types of pasta and calamari to start. I'd say overall everything was good. The cheese based pasta was a bit heavy but the flavors were nice. Some of the wine prices were actually much better than other areas (especially when compared to the city). Cute intimate place that would be great for a date night. Came here after dark but feel like coming for brunch would be good as well to really get most of the view. I'd say definitely worth a visit.
