    Cute place. I walked in and I went behind the counter lol. The lady was hilarious. Their bagels had a lovely crunch to it soft in the inside. The chicken noodle helped with a cold. I love it. Thank you!

    Vegetarian Omelette! Everything is homemade and delicious!!

    Best experience ever!! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!! Everything is homemade and delicious! We were lucky enough to meet Jack and Mary Anne during our MLK Jr. Monday Brunch!! They couldn't have been nicer!! I highly recommend this place to everyone! Our food was delicious and the service was fantastic and we had a great time, and I will definitely come back here again in a heartbeat!!

    Amazing food amazing service. James was an amazing server very friendly. The food came out pretty fast and tasted amazing. It has bar tops and tables to sit at. Whole bill with tip was 40$ which was very reasonable.

    Another great spot for breakfast/Brunch!…read more Great location too at Montclair with street parking and walking distance to Crescent Deck Garage. Place is welcoming and had nice natural lighting. We got their Huevos Rancheros, roasted chicken, tuna chaufa and lomo saltado. everything was great - good portions and beautiful flavors! Especially loved their Earl Grey latte too. the flavors of tea and espresso were very well balanced I would love to get that drink again. Also got their smores cookie for a nice sweet ending. We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

    Went to Libélula for the first time today, as I'm very picky with the Peruvian places I try (I was…read moreborn and raised in Perú, so I just have a very set palate for Peruvian food). My friend and I asked if they sell pan con chicharrón, and though they don't have it on the menu, the chef (Brian) said he'd make it for us! First impression of the service ... amazing. We got the pan con chicharrón and I truly almost cried! I have not had one as delicious as this one in Jersey! The pork was tender, yet nicely fried, and there was not as much fat on it which is always hard as the fat gives it the flavor but too much can be overpowering. After talking to the chef, he mentioned that it is no longer on the menu because people didn't really order it ... so here I am, asking you all to go in and order it, so it can hopefully go back on the menu and everyone can try authentic and delicious Peruvian breakfast!! HUGE shoutout to Brian for creating something that brought both me and my friend a true sense of home

    Let me start by saying we go out to eat three times a week and we've been to a lot of upscale…read moreplaces probably 75% of the time. With that being said the service we received here yesterday was outstanding and better than any five star restaurant. I cannot say how wonderful our waiter was.. I can't remember his name because let's face it. I had a few drinks because that's what it's about there. I believe it was. Giancarlo? So the manager if you see this, please let me know if that's correct or not. This kid was incredible. He was helpful without being overbearing. He was great with his beer knowledge, but we really sold me was when there was a table behind us that had a son with special needs at this young man treated that table with kindness and compassion and really we need more of that. To the owner of this business, I know that the wait staff gets a very minimal amount per hour because they depend on tips, but if there's anyway you can raise his base pay, I would love to see that we were only gonna have one drink each, but because of how he treated us we ended up having two for me and three for my husband, that young man is an investment

    Good local place to hang out. plenty of seating…read more Staff are kind. Food is decent. Good specials throughout the week. I come here once in awhile for appetizers and a beer. Quiet and relaxed. They have events as well.

    This is a great spot to go because they have outdoor seating and I can eat with my dog in peace…read more I ordered the Cobb salad, which my fault but I should have asked for dressing on the side because it was definitely overdressed for my liking. The fries were nicely cooked and salted, but $8 was a lot for the amount given. $4 would have made more sense. And then yes, I'm even going to mention the iced tea. Because there are not very many restaurants I go to that offer a freshly brewed iced tea, which is one of my favorite drinks. It really makes the meal perfect and I appreciate a freshly brewed tea vs a canned one. Staff is nice and brought water for my dog too.

    We came on a Sunday for brunch and they were very quick to accommodate us despite their being many…read morepeople are already in the restaurant. The vibe there is so cute! It's very much like an old diner, but more upscale. I ordered the kale and wheatberry salad, which was very good, especially as it had grapefruit on it. I would've liked if it had more pieces of grapefruit, as two was very little, and I also would've liked if they had a stronger vinaigrette to pair it with. My boyfriend, on the other hand, order the pancakes and make them chocolate chip chips, and I have to say those are by far the best pancakes I've ever had. They tasted sort of like a very moist cake, but not too sweet that it is overwhelming. We will truly be coming back and try more things from their menu, especially excited to try their dinner items.

    This review is about more than food l! First time I went there, I was admittedly, in a crappy mood…read more Before I left I tried to pin together a dress that stopped fitting years ago (with my grandmother's brooch). I've had the pin for about 40 years and who knows how long she'd had it before me. First time at this restaurant in a meh kind of mood. Asking for an egg that wasn't on the menu, asking for togarashi spice ... it was almost closing time I was hangry. I felt a lot better after eating their warm delicious soup. I went across the way for a beer at Montclair brewery which never disappoints either and the carnival (yay montclair). I went home just to realize that the dress rebelled and the pin fell off (no shade on the funnel cake). I retraced my steps but pretty much knew it was a lost cause. But the pin meant so much to me so I decided I would call around on the very off off off chance anyone would have found it. The brewery didn't have it, my car, my lawn, the carnival was a mess, what are the odds? I certainly would not have left it at the restaurant because I was just sitting there. But why not call right? Guess what?! Ken- at Chef Chef was so happy when I called "I remember you! I found your pin in the bathroom! It's here! " Welp 12 hours later I'm standing here before they open today -- all smiles they opened the door and handed me, all wrapped up in plastic wrap, my grandmother's pin.

    Wow. Chef Chen is such a great addition not only to walnut street but also to the sushi restaurants…read morein Montclair.
