We stopped by on a Friday night, and the place was shockingly empty there were only six people in…read morethe entire restaurant, two of them were sitting at the bar. We were greeted right away by the one employee on staff, who was very attentive and pleasant. He was both the waiter and bartender. We ordered the smash burger as an appetizer since it's something I've never seen on a menu as an appetizer before. The smash burger itself was basically a standard double cheeseburger. The patties had a strange texture and didn't have much of a crust. There were also no pickles or house sauce, as the description said there would be. That being said the hand-cut fries that came with it were freshly fried and delicious. For dinner we got the gnocchi in spicy ragu and the pork chop Milanese. The gnocchi was delicious with the sauce but could have been hotter it unfortunately came out lukewarm. The pork chop Milanese was presented beautifully and had good flavor, but it felt like it was missing something (maybe a little more spice or citrus to complement the Asian slaw on top). Overall the service was great, but food was only good and extremly pricey for the portion sizes. I'm hoping the restaurant succeeds, and I'd like to go back and try some different dishes.

my husband and I went on a Friday night at 6 PM and aside from us. There was two people sitting at…read morethe bar and another couple having dinner at the bar area when we left at 7 PM. There were some people sitting outside for dinner and maybe three other tables inside full so it was not busy if you wanted to walk in for dinner it is possible but we had reservations. The decor aims for high end dining, they have an elegant bar area with some tables if you prefer to eat on that side. The hostess and servers were very attentive. The menu is very limited. They have a bunch of different special martini drinks, and plenty of wine selections, but the food menu is very limited. They have dinner specials to offer. My husband went with the burger, which was a very thick patty served with a brioche bun, cooked perfectly. The fries were just OK. They looked as if they were frozen fries just put in the oven. I went with the cod special over Seasonal corn. The corn was tasteless. The cod was cooked perfectly although it did lack a little bit of flavor and we shared the iceberg salad for an appetizer, which was good, but nothing special. The prices were reasonable we decided to pass up on the dessert and take a walk down the main Avenue in Westwood and find some ice cream . I believe it was the male owner that did stop by after we finish dinner to check on us. He was very pleasant.

I ordered a piece of grilled salmon to go with it. I just had water but will definitely try a drink next time. Service was very good.

Evan was so much fun and incredibly knowledgeable, giving us detailed descriptions of the cocktails and taking the time to tell us about the menu and seasonal offerings.

We had the cabbage, which was cooked to perfection, the romaine salad, pork, and ravioli--everything was excellent. We finished with the mozzarella ice cream, which was definitely a fun and unique experience! The service, atmosphere, and food were all superb from beginning to end.

Heh, I had resolved not to review Adelaide after a wacky train wreck of a meal. After all,…read moremistakes happen. However, Steve M.'s account really struck a chord with me and I think he's got a point. The facts of the visit were objectively poor - during appetizers our table runner dropped a water bottle, smashing our food and dumping water all over. THEN the next course was not as described - we ordered the controversial anchovy pasta, were warned that it was very "fish forward," but when it came it seemed to have zero anchovies in it. We asked a server if it was the right dish, she took it back, and then a chef(?) visited and said they'd take it off the bill. We didn't get to eat it! So, that's two courses in a row that were botched, and then to be fair they did manage to serve us a decent steak and comp us a dessert. Steve objects to a similar bad night and says that "'I am sorry' goes a long way in the service industry." This was the aspect that really bugged us as well, that while this was all unfolding a lot of the people who interacted with us (including a co-owner!) just wouldn't acknowledge how crazy it was that we were having such a bad experience. The person who talked to us about the pasta in particular really offended because she acted like we just didn't like the dish, even though we had already explained that it seemed to be made wrong. And yeah, they made the table runner come out at the end and personally apologize, and he seemed like a sweet young person, but at the risk of sounding implacable I don't think that's what most people would want. It was the weird refusal of *everybody else* to act normal that really creeped us out.

It's the perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends--cozy, inviting, and easy to settle into for a relaxed meal. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

The salad portion was skimpy to boot. On the whole, we felt no need to return. Maybe you will have (or have already had) a better 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 waitress never even asked how we wanted it cooked. Overall, I'd come back here for a drink but I'd skip the food next time.

Our server was very pleasant and made us feel welcome right away. We went on a Sunday evening, and the back dining area was almost empty. If you're looking for a livelier vibe, the front is probably the better choice, but the back works great for something more quiet and intimate. I was craving the bolognese, but they were out that night, so we ordered the candied nut and beet salad and the pepperoni pizza with honey. Both were very good, but the salad definitely made more of a "wow" impression. Overall, we had a really pleasant time.

Located off a busy Kinderkamack Road in Oradell, Ora, meaning "now" or "right now" in Italian, has been on my list and was named Best Italian Restaurant in Bergen County in the 2025 Daily Voice Readers' Choice Awards. A reservation was easily made via Toast. Upon entering as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the host inside this multi-level space with the vibe of a modern farmhouse, featuring warm wood tones, exposed rafters, and chic finishes accented by soft mercury lighting. One can dine in the main room, al fresco on the outside patio, weather permitting, or at one of the many top tables at the bar. We were seated promptly at a cozy table ready inside the main dining room. Their menu features a well-executed spin on Italian cuisine. As a starter, we decided on the Basil Pesto Arancini to share. For the main meal, we opted for one of today's specials, 8oz Prime Spinalis accompanied by Mac & Cheese sans crab meat and Dayboat Sea Scallops. Even saved room for some dessert and decided on the Chocolate Tortino and Soft Serve Gelato Copette. Washed them down with Franganza Spritz. Complimentary housemade bread with whipped butter started our meal. Every dish had flair and stood up against the next. Presentations kept our eyes wide as everything arrived to the table, and even the more straightforward preparations had a little something special about them. Everything was delicious; we really don't think one could go wrong with anything on the menu. What truly elevated the night, though, was our server, Clark. He went above and beyond, attentive without being intrusive, genuinely kind, and clearly passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible. It made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. Can't wait to dine here again!
