    Octopus
    Alvin M.

    Came here for a weeknight dinner. Plenty of open tables. Simple decor. Staff were quick and very nice. Food was a winner here. The octopus was tender, perfectly cooked, tasty, and much larger than the usual small octopus portions you get at most restaurants. My skirt steak was also tender, juicy and flavorful. They had a surprisingly nice selection of draft beer, including local and international breweries. Would definitely go back here

    Grilled Snapper
    The Critical J.

    PROS: The staff was very nice, food tasted fresh, prices were good, menu had many sections, food came out quickly, and good atmosphere CONS: only 3-4 choices per section on the menu and there's only street parking OVERALL: I recommend coming here since everything about this place is great. Their sister restaurant is in Tenafly

    Fresh Branzino
    Jeffrey P.

    Had the fresh Branzino for dinner, it was amazing. It's nice to have a Resturant close to home that serves delicious food with a family atmosphere and fantastic service.

    Sangria

    Before I begin my review, I must admit that I'm the worse at remembering to take pics before eating, so the pics are already after my party began to eat. So, for my review, this place is really good. I have only complaint and that is their crème brûlée; stay away from it. It's not the traditional tasting/texture. It's more of a Spanish style that I tasted in Spain. Anyways, paella and appetizers were really good. The grilled octopus melts in your mouth; it's so soft and easy to eat. The sangria was also perfect. The service is excellent even with a fairly busy time; waiters/busboys were very attentive. Ambiance was comfy; reminds me of a pub look. All-in-all, I highly recommend this place.

    Wonderful time at La Taberna their first sip and painting class -first time doing this activity with family and friends. Such a great experience as you see the painting evolve to the end -thank you Taberna for letting brushes and berries use your space for a very fun night -and at the end some of the girls had a very nice drinks and appetizers . Thank you Patricio for being so attentive.

    Good food and service Just don't ask for hot sauce other than Tabasco It will be a side order charge

    Rib eye

    Nice and quaint atmosphere in my opinion. Gives me the feel at home vibes. Service was excellent and welcoming. No pretensions ... Non-judgmental. Their freshly baked roll for starters was the start. Steaks were cooked on point on a sizzling rectangular plate. Price ... spend $155 for all this food including pitcher of white sangria. Highly recommend this place.

    I was back at my loc spot a few days ago and like always got great service and a good time. I was drinking margaritas all night as they were so good I couldn't stop. The bar was packed all night and the DJ was playing some great music. I always have a good time at this spot.

    Good service, the food was pretty good, too. I was happily surprised with this place. There was a DJ playing in the bar area when I went on a weekend night. The decor was nicer than I expected for a small town spot. Seems like a good pick for a date night or dinner and drinks. Family friendly but nice enough for a night out with just adults.

    Marinara sauce in the cutest caldron to go along with our fried calamari
    Virginia T.

    Stopped by last week on a weeknight. Great service, good food, spotless and friendly. Will definitely try again. The sever was superb and didn't rush us and was super attentive. I am a local and want to see businesses in the area flourish but it must be hard due to the pandemic. Please try this place out if you haven't already and if you have get take out! Stop by! Support our locals. The sever even gave us extra bread to take home with our leftovers which was super thoughtful and generous.

    Mother's Day Menu
    Krystle T.

    We came in on Mother's Day because my mother and aunt wanted to try a place we haven't been to before. We made reservations for 9 people around 5pm and had no problems being seated right away when we arrived. There was a live DJ by the bar on the left side of the restaurant and we sat in the dining area to the right. On Mother's Day, there were drink specials and a set menu. We ordered Sangrias, Calamari and the Spanish Tortilla to start. We also received a basket of bread and butter. I'm really a fan of their Sangria. The wine was strong enough that you could still taste it, but it didn't overpower the fruit. The Calamari was perfectly crispy and we really enjoyed the sauce that came with the Spanish Tortilla. I ordered the Sesame Tuna (medium rare) Entree, which came with Sautéed Spinach, Balsamic Vinegar and Mango Tequila Sauce. It was amazing. I usually don't get ANYTHING medium rare, but our waiter recommended it and I thank him for it. Both dipping sauces paired perfectly with the tuna in different ways. The Sautéed Spinach was the best I've had in a while. There was not a bit of food left on my plate! At the end of our dinner, our waiter gave not only gave my mother and aunt a rose, but also my sister, cousins, and I roses too because we're dog moms and we deserved one too. I loved that and was definitely appreciated! It was a great evening and everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. All 9 of us would recommend giving this place a try! I'm definitely coming back to try everything on the tapas menu!

    Amazing service with the best server Patricio. He always takes great care of our family events. His coffee is out of this world! Thanks Patricio!

Tenafly, NJ 07670 French Dip Tater Tots Marshmallow Soft Serve Appearance: 10/10 Taste: 10/10 Located in the Riveredge Row Strip Mall at the intersection of Riveredge Road and Tenafly Road is a locally owned high end sandwich shop. Let's check out the two course meal I explored: French Dip: This signature sandwich was loaded with shaved prime rib, bits of bell peppers and was topped with melted swiss cheese. It was perfectly diagonally sliced on an Italian baguette. The beef was tender and juicy; also included was a savory au jus and a sharp horseradish sauce which both enhanced the flavor. I was more than satisfied down to the very last bite. Tater Tots: The tots make an excellent side to the sandwich. They were crunchy on the outside while soft and pillowy on the inside. The ketchup is a pretty decent, but the garlic aioli wins the dipping contest by a long shot. Marshmallow Soft Serve: To close out the meal, I explored this heavenly dessert. Roasted marshmallow is added to the base of the ice cream. The appearance may be simple and plain Jane, but its rich, smooth, and creamy taste is in a league of its own. As a bonus, a complimentary water cooler with ice and lemon slices is available. If you do not wish to drink water, a variety of cans and bottles are available for purchase. Thank you server Hailey and the cooking crew for preparing a flawless meal. #the130shop #130shoptenafly #frenchdipsandwich #marshmallowsoftserve

We started with the "French Dip" with plenty of au jus. Batting second was a delicious "BaconGrilledCheese" with cheddar & chihuahua cheese and some savory tomato soup for dipping. Joe & I hit up the "1/2. LB Meatball" samich next which was so good that you think that you are at a place that strictly makes meatball parm sandwiches. We tried the "130 Cheeseburger next with bacon lettuce and tomato . This double burger masterpiece is piled high and tasty too. As though there was any room on the table in came the "Buttermilk Fried Chicken" with cherry peppers, coleslaw, pickles and sherry Aïoli. That is no ordinary chicken sandwich. Also in this cruise buffet rivaling feast was a "Chicago Style Hotdog" with the works, perfectly cooked shoestring fries and crispy "tater tots." There was not a bad bite in the bunch. My favorite was the Bacon Grilled Cheese and I think Joe's was the 130 Cheeseburger but he also liked the horseradish sauce that came with the French Dip. Not that we want to disappoint our followers but there were doggy bags involved. The 130 Shop is really cool spot in Tenafly,NJ with a great staff and amazing chef.‍ It's part of a trio of establishments in the area with 130 Club and 130 Social. If you are ever in the area you've got to stop in. It's only a half hour from Yankees Stadium if you want to grab a bite once you are back in NJ. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #BDBFCertified #BDBF

It can get loud in there so I wouldn't go there if you're looking for an intimate vibe. The staff is pretty friendly and do a good job of attending to the patrons. The food is where it was a bit disappointing to me. I can appreciate the wide variety of items on the menu, but not when the quality varies so much. We ordered a few pasta dishes (one that was on the daily special), a few taco dishes, an order of wings and the brussel sprouts. All of the pasta dishes were huge disappoints. They looked like pasta dishes from Applebees. The sauces were very runny and the kids pastas were the most basic pastas that were way overpriced for what they were. My daughter who loves pastas only ate about 1/3 of it and told me she didn't like it. The wings were dry and not saucy enough. The tacos were OK. The brussel sprouts were the only standout dish that we ordered. I liked their extensive draft beer menu though. Lots of variety to choose from and the drinks were fresh. Overall, I'd certainly come back here and hope that I pick some better food choices or a big improvement on the food quality, but a fun place to hang out at.

We arrived right when they opened (perfect timing, especially with a snowstorm expected later that day), so the restaurant was still quiet. The space has a modern, upscale vibe that definitely feels suited for special occasions. It's located on a busy street, and while they do offer valet, we lucked out with free street parking since it was early. They offer a prix fixe brunch for $39 per person, which includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. It's a good way to experience the restaurant without committing to a full dinner price point--but be aware that quite a few items come with upcharges, and drinks are not included, so the bill can climb quickly. I do have a gluten allergy, and I was honestly surprised by how limited the gluten-free options were for a restaurant of this caliber. That said, I made it work: I started with a Bellini, had the sizzling slab of bacon as my appetizer, the recovery burger (no bun sub roasted potatoes as a side) as my main, and finished with the salted caramel gelato. Everything I had was enjoyable, but I would have appreciated more flexibility in the menu. The rest of the group (no dietary restrictions) had more variety to choose from and really enjoyed their meals, which is always a good sign. Service was attentive without being overbearing--likely helped by the fact that it wasn't too crowded yet--so we were able to relax and actually enjoy conversation, which made the celebration feel special. The restaurant also has a private back room that looks great for parties, plus a downstairs lounge area, which adds to its appeal as an event space. Overall, for me it's definitely more of a special occasion spot, and while the pricing is on the higher side for what you get, brunch feels like the best way to experience it. I'd come back again--but probably stick to brunch.
