    Rigatoni
    Dasle K.

    Loved our meal at Allendale Social! It's a small cozy restaurant perfect for a GNO or date night. It is super dark in the restaurant and there are candles everywhere. The food was so, so good. We started with a bunch of appetizers to share as well as cocktails. My only complaint about the food was the rigatoni - it was too salty. Some minor points that made this place a 4 not 5: The service was slow, and their coffee machine broke down during dessert. I would still come back though! One of the better ones in NJ.

    Came here Saturday night for a friend's bday. It was my second time at Allendale Social and well worth it! The food and ambiance here are great - it's a small boutique-feel restaurant. Great for a date night. Admittedly, we were a group of 8 so it was a bit overwhelming in the dining room. We were probably loud being that there were so many of us but our server, Alberto was awesome! He completely got us. We ordered a bunch of food to share. My favorites were the Tuna Tartare, Scallop & Oyster Ceviche and the Diver Scallops. Allendale Social has the freshest fish! The tartare was fresh and so light. The ceviche tasted way better than it looked - raw fish always looks weird but this was fantastic! It was served on a shell. The diver scallops were cooked perfectly - it came with cauliflower, golden raisins and pine nuts. What a blend of flavors! Allendale Social offers free valet and they have music on Saturdays 8-11pm. It's a small restaurant so make sure to get a reservation!

    Mudslide martini !! Not on the menu but bartender made it special for me.

    This is almost a boutique restaurant but definitely worth a visit. The interior is nicely decorated with a cozy modern vibe. The wait staff were all very friendly and the bartender not only made great drinks but was open to any request. The Korean fried chicken app was amazing and the rigatoni rago was very good. I had the filet mignon for my main, the good part was the got the temperature right but the bernaise sauce was quite runny. Overall a good time!

    The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the servers are still new, they did a good job- just need some more time. No complaints. Decor - Bright white trendy decor inside. Everything looks brands new. There is Large bar area to enjoy a cocktail before or after dinner. They also have outdoor seating which was nice because it did get very loud in the main dining room. Bartenders were very knowledgeable and seemed to be mixologists. The cocktails we tried were the Social and the Humidor, both were great! Food- nice menu, not too big. For apps we had the corn arancini which fell a little short on flavor and the Korean fried chicken (spicy) which was a standout Main course- salmon , pork loin and filet mignon. Everyone enjoyed each dish. The pork tenderloin served over lentils was good but our least favorite of the three. The desserts were amazing ! Highly recommend the first chocolate dessert on the menu - you will not be disappointed !! Pricey dinner but not any different than other places that are upscale. Overall, good experience and worth the visit !

    Allendale Social is an elegant Botique style restaurant serving farm to table cuisine. We started out with the beetroot salad and the sweet corn arancini. The beetroot salad was very good with pistachio pesto giving it a nice texture. The sweet corn arancini we wouldn't order again. You couldn't taste any sweet corn, and the appetizer was very bland. For entrees we had the black truffle risotto and the lobster thermidor. The black truffle risotto was OUTSTANDING! It was the best truffle risotto I ever had! The lobster Thermidor was EXCELLENT! For desserts we had the warm apple crisp and the hazelnut chocolate crunch. Both were very good! The hazelnut chocolate crunch was very rich and for serious chocolate lovers like myself. I'm so glad I found this gem in Allendale NJ. I highly recommend dining at Allendale Social!

    My partner took me here for my birthday dinner and boy did it NOT disappoint! The service was great, our waitress was maybe a little over excited, but sweet and attentive! We started with drinks and I absolutely loved that they had glass straws - it was a nice touch. It had a cozy feeling with very warm decor. I'd love to go and have drinks at the bar next. The arancinis were my favorite - just wish they were bigger. We didn't have room for dessert but since it was my birthday, they gave us a free espresso martini shot each. That was very generous and I will 1000% be back here.

    I went with a friend for dinner on a Saturday night. We were sat right away and had amazing food! The tuna tartar was amazing, the drinks were great. I LOVED the popcorn bourbon! Our waitress was also kind. The ambiance was also very vibey and great.

    I've been trying to get my husband to come with me for drinks since they opened. They just started dollar oysters midweek, so that was perfect timing to get him to go in. We started with. Charlie's girl and the humidor. I thought the glass straw was a nice touch on my drink. You can't beat dollar oysters. They had great presentation and were flavorful without the mignonette. We liked them so much we also decided to try the truffle polenta fries. They were great, and topped with tons of finely shredded Parmesan cheese. The ambiance is great and the staff are really nice. Can't wait to come back for dinner

They have a way of making a special night feel even more significant, balancing professional excellence with genuine warmth. They even made a personalized Specials Menu for the celebration! And the food? It's consistently fantastic. We started with a spread of appetizers that set the bar high: the Stuffed Figs and Meatball specials were standout hits, and you can't go wrong with their perfectly crisp Caesar Salad or the Escargot Scampi in that delicious puff pastry. For the main course, the Filet Mignon Oscar and Veal Imperial specials were prepared to perfection - decadent and incredibly fresh. The Cacio e Pepe was authentic and flavorful, and the Capellini special was light, but OH SO satisfying. They topped off the night with a beautiful birthday surprise -- Crème Brûlée (complete with a "Happy Birthday" chocolate sign and candle!) along with the Mixed Berries with Biscotti (can't go wrong with perfection!). Thank you to the entire team at Savini's for making my 40th Birthday Extravaganza so memorable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a life milestone, this place remains our "steady ground" and our favorite tradition. Can't wait for the next visit!

Both were very good, but the salad definitely made more of a "wow" impression. Overall, we had a really pleasant time.

Thank you. 2. Portion was abundant for a person at home on St. Pat's, so thank you again! 3. The corned beef and cabbage was THE BEST that I've had in YEARS. I am comparing it to the corned beef and cabbage Gloucester fishermen make, so that is a Compliment of compliments. And a monumental THANK YOU for that. The corned beef was perfect. And flavourful and juicy, and the perfect texture. The cabbage was also perfection, and cut perfectly for a perfect bite with corned beef. That gives added points here. The potatoes were perfect. The sauce was something else. The flavor, with some mustard seeds, was so good. I'd asked for extra mustard, but clearly it did not need mustard because the dish was so darn perfect. So I can't speak to ambiance, but when my car is fixed, and my Lent fast ends -- Saint Patrick's is my annual Len Fast Break so I can have 2 Guinness and corned beef and cabbage but no meat or booze otherwise -- and look forward to visit and becoming, not a stranger ;) Thank you so much for making my solo Saint Patrick's Day a holiday at home.

It was St. Patrick's Day and the start of March Madness, the bar was completely packed, exactly like anyone with basic common sense would expect. The staff was clearly working hard to keep up with the crowd, and my Guinness was poured perfectly fine. If someone thought they were going to get slow, ceremonial pours and unlimited bar time on one of the busiest nights of the year, that's just unrealistic. As for getting cut off, bars don't do that for no reason, especially on a night when they want to keep serving. When a place is at capacity, the staff has to make judgment calls to keep things under control and stay within the law. Acting like bartenders should let people stay forever just because it's St. Patrick's Day sounds like someone who hasn't actually worked a high-volume bar in a long time, if ever. Calling the place overpriced with bad food doesn't make much sense either, considering it was packed all night and people were clearly enjoying themselves. It's easy to blame the bar when you don't get the experience you wanted, but from what I saw, the staff handled a crazy night the best they could, and the complaints here sound way more like user error than anything wrong with the place.

We just ordered Aperol Spritzes, which were tasty and perfectly balanced. The service was also very friendly. While the food menu was mainly greasy bar food, they had a few items (grilled chicken, salads, soups, etc.) that I would have ordered if I had been hungry. Overall, the W's Village Grille seemed like a great place to catch a game or even for a family dinner in the back dining room, but it was not really the trendy girls' night spot for which we had originally planned.
