We tried the Tomahawk Ribeye and the Porterhouse. Definitely the Ribeye was better, tender, juicy. Porterhouse filet side was smaller than expected. Hot buttered plate wasn't really enough to make the steak Med-Rare throughout the course as it cool obviously; which left many parts rare. I'm sure if you ask for another, they would provide, although we didn't ask. The bread was good & warm. However, I was bit disappointed to get refrigerated butter rectangles. Overall food was a 3.5. Aged flavor was very subtle and I wish it was more predominant. Menu did not indicate which aging method for 21 days. My taste buds tell me it was wet aged, also for the price it seemed more fit. Staff were definitely friendly. They do need to fix the lights - not sure whats going on but it kept getting dark-bright throughout dinner. I gave it a 4 due to the staff and the price is about par with the food. read more

Steakhouse? Just awful food. The steak was not served on a sizzling plate. It was tough and cheap. The vegetables were undercooked. The potatoes were just bad and stale. The chicken was overfloured and the sauce was jellied. The coffee tasted like dishwater. The atmosphere was like a funeral home. read more

Came in for dinner tonight. It was quiet, which I love!!! Food was delicious. We started with appetizers and main course. Crab cakes were amazing!! Will definitely order again! Filet mignon was cook to perfection! Medium rare was on point, juicy, soft, flavorful! Can't wait to try again. Parmesan veal chop was huge! Home fries were very tasty! For dessert for tiramisu! Loved it!!! Will definitely be back! Waiters were attentive and polite. read more

First time visiting the Cliffs Steakhouse in Englewood Cliffs. Drove by the 9W soooooo many times, but did not imagine finding a decent steak within Bergen County. (It usually is Benjamin's, Keen, and Peter Luger in NYC). Quite a surprise with the service... and the T- Bone !!!!!! The service was on the spot .... much better than Peter Luger !!!! Individual plate was grilling hot, so that we could grill the meat more if wanted. So, we should start with Rare to slowly heat it to medium rare. Since it was a weekday, we were seated at the very end of the restaurant where it was quiet for the three of us to dine in a comfortable ambience. As for the steak, seemed tid bit dry (or drier than Benjamin's), but we will certainly come back for another !!!! read more

Love the fireplace! It adds just the right touch if you're lucky enough to get a table near the warmth. It's appears to be in a house and that adds to the comfy factor. Wait staff is very attentive and the food was definitely fresh. The chocolate lava cake came out about 10 minutes after I ordered it and just seemed to have warm chocolate poured over it. I'm used to having to order it at the beginning of the meal so it has time to cook. While it was moist and tasty, it didn't meet my expectations as the "lava" wasn't inside the middle of the cake. Expect to pay as much as any other high end steakhouse. I would definitely return. read more

Food was great. The porterhouse for 2 was perfect for my group of 3 because one of us doesn't eat a lot of meat. It came medium rare as we ordered and was flavorful! We added oysters and sautéed mushrooms to share. The oysters were good, nothing special. The mushrooms were okay but didn't seem fresh and came drenched in sauce that made it too heavy of a dish. My only beef with this restaurant is that the service was appallingly bad. We came in and were quickly seated. It was JUST us and one other group at our 3PM reservation during our whole meal. No one else. A bunch of wait staff were loitering around. We waited for a while before a waiter finally asked if we wanted any drinks (at this point, we still had no menu so I'm guessing he just meant water). More time passes and we were finally given a menu. During this whole time, it felt like we were at a funeral. It was quiet and not a single waiter had a pleasant expression in greeting. We decided our orders pretty quickly since the menu was small. The waiters gave us the absolute MINIMAL effort for service. I know this for a fact because they literally couldn't even spare time to give their specials for the day. We had to ASK for it and there was a crap ton of specials that we wouldn't have known about had we not ask. When the bread came, my husband requested for the bread to be warmed up. The waiter came back with it toasted, charred, and hard as a rock. The olive oil was cheap, and the balsamic vinegar tasted like soup dumpling ginger soy sauce (I wish I was joking). Nothing against soy sauce but we were hoping for it to taste like balsamic vinegar... When the sizzling plates came, only two plates sizzled. This is a major highlight for their restaurant's dining experience so you'd think the waiter would consider getting a new hot plate for the sizzle, but no, that was not the case. We had to ask for it. We also had to ask for more water. And for more sizzling plates to cook the rest of the steak. AND for the steak sauce, which was just A1 sauce. Overall, we would not visit again. My friend who was with us and had been the one to recommend the place said she'd give it a 3/10 stars compared to last time she went with a date. Maybe the evening staff is better, or maybe it was because we were stereotyped for being Asian and for potentially tipping poorly, I don't know. Either way, it was a Saturday and we were the first guests - you'd think the staff would be more energized and ready! The decent food does not make up for how we were treated. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

If you're looking for quality steakhouse dining then this place is the spot. From the appetizers to the entrees to the porterhouse it met expectations and upped the bar. Not one item or dish underwhelmed, or felt cheap or old. Quality ingredients were used in all the dishes. My favorite was the flavoring on the steak, and how it came out. They have a very hot plate where they add some butter which will cook some of your steak once placed on your plate. There are a few restaurants that use this technique. But, the flavors this porterhouse had stood out. I've had steaks from a wide range of restaurants, but this place seemed to use the right spices and grilling method. It was crusty on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Very very tasty. The staff here are super friendly, courteous, and very accommodating. All ways around when you need them, and out of site when you don't. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining. The indoor dining feels homey, since the establishment is built on a house-like dwelling. It did not take away from the intimacy feel. read more

Wow! What a great find. In from Chicago and randomly found this place - it's a great representation of a classic Steakhouse. Professional waiters, gracious GM, fantastic lunch. Wish I lived nearby so I could regularly go. For lunch, I had Halibut and broccolini, and was with colleagues before a business meeting - "no garlic please" and they obliged. I saw the guys at the next table order a tomahawk. Flinstone sized. It looks like it rivals the greats in NY and Chicago. Would like to go back and have a bottle of red and a steak. read more

Steak is very good but the restaurant is in need of an upgrade. Be wary of the sides; we ordered the broccoli and home fires. The home fries ... well overcooked potatoes is not home fries in my mind. Really enjoyed the porterhouse and T-bone steak. The hot plate that allows you to finish cooking the steak to taste works well. Service is nice, the pours are generous, so overall a nice experience. read more

On my list for one of the top steakhouses in North Jersey! Porterhouse & Tomahawk are always a hit! Their pasta is always fresh and full of flavor . Staff is always attentive and make you feel like family. Very cozy and intimate setting. This has been my to go Italian steakhouse for the last year! P.S. They have a great wine selection. read more

This is an amazing steakhouse in North Bergen County. My family and have been coming here for years. The owner and his staff are very welcoming and attentive. Over the past twenty years I have traveled and lived all of the world and have eaten at some great steakhouses. Cliffs Steakhouse is my number 1 steakhouse when I am back in the area and wanting a great steak/meal. Additionally, my new favorite is the bone in Veal chop. I must say, to die for! When you stop in please pass my regards to the owner, Rraci! read more

Cozy restaurant that's easy to miss, but worth the visit. My glass was never empty and staff were very attentive. Staff did not wear masks all the time, but I'm not sure what the rules are since I went to the mall earlier and no one was wearing them nor was it being enforced. Anyway, I ordered the sirloin and it was cooked to perfection. I even ordered the cheese ravioli and it was delicious. The table behind me ordered veal and it was sizzling and the smell was mouthwatering. read more

Cliffs Steakhouse looks like a single family home from the outside. You walk up the porch steps just like you are walking into someone's front porch and then enter into the front door. From the moment you step inside you feel like you feel welcomed like you are family! It's such a warm restaurant and every single person who worked there was professional, personal and excellent at their job! The owner came over to our table and greeted us like family. It was such a refreshing night spent among friends. I was so impressed by Cliffs Steakhouse and I havent even gotten to my review on the food... YET! For starters we had the beet and goat cheese salad. Everything was so fresh and tasted great. For our entree we let our waiter choose for us, and he did an excellent excellent job!!! The steak was cooked to perfection but the presentation blew me away. Three STEAMING SIZZLING plates came out before the steaks. They had seasoned our plates before bringing them to the table. The plates were so hot that our server placed pieces of the steak on our plate and it kept cooking!!! The steak was tender and needed NOTHING, however our waiter brought out a side of steak sauce which was so good I could have eaten that just on it's own! We had the creamed spinach and potato's as our sides which were perfect for sharing and equally as good as everything else. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse cake which we all split. The portions were generous, The food was all around delicious, and the people who worked here I couldn't speak highly enough of! Thank you for a wonderful meal and night, can not wait to come back : ) read more

Great family restaurant. The staff was tentative and the boss ensure we were having a great meal. The dry aged steak and lamb chop was amazing to perfection. Our side of cream spinach, hash brown and a marinara pasta made the meal perfectly balanced. Can't asked for a better meal with friends and family. read more

Had dinner here last night for the first time with a couple of friends, and it did not disappoint! Everyone ordered filet mignon and each steak was perfectly cooked and came out sizzling. Butter garlic sauce on the steaks was amazing. While we were eating, our waiter brought out a complimentary plate of pasta for the table which was fantastic. Rigatoni Bolognese which had the most tender, delicious meat and an amazing sauce over pasta that was cooked perfectly al dente. After dinner and dessert, the waiter brought out a bottle of complimentary Limoncello for the table which we all enjoyed. Our waiter's name was Peter and he provided excellent, attentive service throughout the entire evening. The owner also visited our table a number of times during dinner to make sure that we were all enjoying ourselves-which we were! Overall, we had a great experience at Cliff's and will definitely be returning in the future to try more of their menu! Would recommend to anyone looking for a tasteful and delicious meal and awesome service. read more

We finally decided to have a nice steak dinner after being catered with take outs since March. This place did not disappoint. Beyond what we expected even. The grilled Octopus appetizer was cooked well and a good portion to share for 2. My husband had the Tbone steak whick comes with a hotplate with brown butter ( yum) and I had the special of the day, Halibut with shrimp . Both food came out perfectly presented and seasoned. Our server was very attentive ang greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we can't remember his name. The manager even came to check on us. We highly recommend their housemade tiramisu. Cheers on the complementary sambuca :) Thank you for the great experience. read more

Food was good, atmosphere was good, presentation was awful. Service was indifferent at best. The warmth of the owner who greeted us with a genuine smile and seated us at a very nice table was not shared or reflected by the staff. My wife asked what was popular, and the waiter replied they had steak ,pasta, and vegetable dishes to choose from, ignoring the whole point of asking. Literally nothing is included with your steak, they will place a plate in front of you with a piece of meat sitting there and a warning not to touch it because it is too hot. Everything is a lá carte. Despite visually appearing like someone else's leftover, the filet was tender and delicious. Medium rare is closer to rare but this is a steakhouse. A glass of Cabernet was full bodied and paired well. The side of mashed potatoes was perfect, homemade and buttery, not too much salt, or too little. The salmon was a bit overdone, but few restaurants get it right. It was lightly but nicely seasoned and very good. At about 9pm someone remembered to turn the music on. It came on loud but they quickly brought it to an appropriate level. I just wish they had been playing music from the start because it added something. Food 4.5 Atmosphere 4.5 Service 2.0 Presentation 1.0 Value 3.5 Caveat - prices are not always disclosed until they bring the check and may be higher than expected. The restaurant was relatively full, and the room was animated by conversation that was lively and pleasant but not too loud. read more

This place is unique on its own. If you like steak, it's a must try at least once. My usual order is porter house which gets served in HOT porcelain plate. It's seared hot so if you want your meat rare or close to rare, must give them heads up so that it doesn't over cook on the table. Service is okay, nothing special but not bad. Sometimes there are too many of them lingering around the table and at other times you can't find one server in this fairly small restaurant. But they always come around at some point. Location is off of Sylvan Ave w leading into 9W with ample parking in the back. read more

It would be unfair to compare this place to NYC steak places, but overall I thought all the food tasted good and consistently good. The burrata tomato salad was cut by the server with a sharp knife for us. The Chilean sea bass and salmon were cooked perfectly. The beet salad was sweet. The steak was cooked perfectly. The side of mashed potatoes and asparagus was good. The side of onion rings were less rings and more like fried onions, but still good. Their tiramisu cake and carrot cake, again all good. The issue was more the quantity of food -- the quantity was small, particularly for a steak place and for the prices. Our steak was the smallest I've ever seen. The slices of cake were small. The side dishes, including like 8-10 pieces of thin asparagus, small. The service was awkward. I think they meant well but the jokes were awkward and just simply not a smooth experience. I've never had to ask for a menu in order to order my entrees. They also do have wine by the glass, which they can verbally tell you since it's not on the wine menu. read more

Went for Business Lunch Food - 5/5. Bread had nice grill marks on them and a good bite. I liked that their house barbecue sauce is the dip for the bread. Mozzarella and tomatoes were just alright with the cheese being a little hard and the tomato lacking any flavor. The roasted red pepper on the side was more enjoyable as it had the right texture. Sirloin steak came out with awesome grill marks, basted with butter and the exact desired temperature. The accompanying broccoli was also full of butter and fork tender. Tiramisu was sweet and creamy although a bit sad looking being so small on such a large plate. Service - 4/5. Professional and courteous. Value - 4/5. Business lunch runs at $20 which is a lot for lunch but a fair price given that it comes with three courses and coffee. Their selection is good and I like that they offer a steak option. Nice spot for a relaxing lunch. Parking - Private Lot (Free) read more

Love this place. Best service, friendly, and great food. For 4 people: Ordered porterhouse for 2 and rib eye (the filet is amazing!!!!!!!), 2 orders of 1/2 dozen oysters, 3 bacons (very good), two sides (mushrooms and creamed spinash). They cooked their rigatoni perfectly al dente. The staff treat you like family. Tip: be friendly with them and they will be friendly right back. Business lunch is also a good deal! read more

Right off the bat I truly enjoyed the warm welcome and the look of the restaurant. The food was amazing and the only reason why I've gone down to 3 stars is due to the fact that an appetizer of just 3 scallops cost 42$ which was the most expensive item on my bill. They seem to charge whatever they want from the "specials" that they only list vocally so you don't know how much you're going to pay. read more

Great quality steak! Side portions are small, but the steak alone is worth the visit back.

I used with family. So good atmosphere, great taste and service. We will definitely use again.

Def a great place in Bergen if you're trying to get something similar to Peter Lugers. Make sure to start off with their bacon! read more

This was the first time we (at work) ordered from here for lunch. Ordered the crabmeat cocktail - which was delicious. And two of us ordered lobster ravioli. We both agreed the sauce should have been a creamier sauce - lobster ravioli tastes different in a tomato basil sauce. But for $15 or so dollars (my bill was over what I thought based on internet menu) we got 4, FOUR, ravioli. That was what we found ridiculous. That's like $4 + a ravioli. I can go to Uncle Guiseppe's and buy 12 for $9.99. Can't say we'd go back for lunch. Just too much for too little. read more
