    Chopped Filet Mignon
    Diana M.

    Came here on a Saturday night and had reservations for the outside patio area. It was nice and quiet. No one else was there besides us. We also parked in the lot over the bridge, which was very convenient. The place itself is very cute. I got myself a pineapple margarita to start, which was very tasty. We got the chopped filet mignon tips for an appetizer which was full of flavor. I got the braised short rib for dinner and my husband got the salmon. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. I ended the night with a pistachio martini, which was also perfectly made.

    Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, not too sweet at all, also very light. Really liked it.

    Delicious food, beautiful decor, very friendly staff, very attentive manager, really enjoyed everything.

    Edamame Dumplings
    Solange V D.

    This restaurant is a great experience. Our waiter was so attentive even with a large group. The food and drink are also equally as spectacular as the service. For appetizers, we had the salad, dumplings, and a creamy shrimp dish. All of these were spectacular and a 10/10. The dishes all had such fresh ingredients and the sauce on the dumplings was so thick and tasty. For entree, I had the braised short rib with bacon risotto this was just as good as the appetizers. The short rib melted in my mouth and the sauce was spectacular. In addition, the risotto tasted great and paired amazing with the short rib. For dessert, I tried the coconut and the cheesecake. Both of these were delicious and the fruit was super fresh. Lastly, I had the pink lemonade drink which had great presentation and tasted amazing! Overall this was such a great experience and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Jersey.

    Bread Spreads
    Kayla B.

    Came here for a baby shower this past weekend and was blown away by the food. Sooo good!! The decor was modern, the food was flavorful and well seasoned! My favorite was the Burrata and the bread spread. Mimosas and Prosecco with cotton candy were so good! The staff were super friendly and helpful and I loved that the private event had its own bathroom. Only Criticism was the lack of parking, but thankfully it was Sunday so u parked at the bank.

    Dark chocolate mousse

    Wonderful service, presentation and food Get the dark chocolate mousse. It will change your life.

    Salomon and steak

    Came here on a rainy Saturday night. I had reservations for 8:45pm. Be aware that parking is very hard to find here, but we managed to find parking across from the restaurant. We were greeted and immediately seated. We first sat at a 2 top table, but then was switched to a 4 top for more comfortability. I appreciated that. Our server was very nice and friendly, so was the owner or manager. They made sure hospitality was on point. I ordered a mocktail, the lady bird, and my partner ordered a mango tango. We were also served a variety of bread with different toppings which was a nice touch. I ordered the salmon and my partner ordered the steak and a dragon roll. The roll came out about 5 mim after ordering, and the food came about 15 mim after that. Everything looked good and tasted good. We also ordered the dolce de leche creme brûlée. It was amazing. We were then offered free passion fruit shots, which was very yummy and appreciated. I give the food a 4/5 and the service a 5/5. I would defiantly take the 50 mim drive to come here again.

    Complimentary appetizer
    A'Yanna E.

    Really nice restaurant with great food and service. Lunch after church was a win here! The complimentary appetizer was totally unexpected and quite yummy & different (pictured). It was crispy thin bread chips with multiple dip options (butter, olive oil, 2 cheese spreads). Our order was the filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and burger with potato wedges/broccolini. Both dishes were absolutely delicious although the mashed potatoes were not thick so if you don't like super whipped/runny mashed potatoes these wouldn't be your texture preference though the flavor was great. The burger is not a typical burger guys, the sauce & toppings were a unique flavor combination plus the branded brioche bun to plated perfection was unmatched! Absolutely go enjoy!!

    I really wanted to like this place based on a food review TikTok we saw and the past Yelp reviews. Boy was I shocked. Service is dreadfully slow. We went on a Friday afternoon and there were only 3 tables. The food was salty and overcooked. The mock tails we got were overloaded with sugar. Even the soda we ordered was flat and warm- I'm guessing came straight from the bar. I'm writing this to let you know to stay away and save the expensive bill. The food and service is definitely not worth it! On the plus side, the ambiance was not bad. There is a patio area which is nice in the summer.

    Delicious from start to finish, and Julia our server was great. We will be back! Thank you!

    Steak & Eggs + Chicken and Waffles
    Xavier P.

    Q'tal is a solid restaurant in Kearny to visit. Starting with the setting, they have a backyard patio which is a great place to hang out in during the nice summer months. It's also spacious enough so you're not close to other tables. The service is fantastic. Everyone who works there is very attentive as soon as you walk in the front door and they were kind enough to get their own candle for a dessert for my friends birthday. For entrees we ordered the Avocado toast, Steak and Eggs, and Chicken & Waffles. For desserts we ordered the Creme Brulee, Molton lava cake, and Cheesecake. I won't say it's the best food I ever had but they're so kind it makes up for it and you can't beat $3 mimosas.

    Chocolate cake
    Christina T.

    Great food and great service. Went here for a a date night with my partner. We had the filet mignon appetizer and the grilled octopus. For dinner I had the shrimp Risotto and he had the steak and risotto. I was so full but everything was so good we had to share a desert which we opted for the hot chocolate cake. Everything we had was full of flavor. This place is a gem!

    Octopus
    Yesenia R.

    Roasted octopus with potato emulsion, broccolini and garlic confit! That's it, just go there for that and you will thank me later! Everything I have had there was amazing. From the drinks to the desserts. The star is the octopus no matter who comes here they always end up loving it. I wish they would make it an entrée! Staff is always so nice and caring.

    Every time i come here its such a hit!!! It's definitely one of my favorite hole in the wall places…read morethat I've been coming to for about 8 years. The food is probably the closest you can get to actual Spanish tapas but what i love most about this place is that everythings got flavorrrrr For our table of 4 we got CROQUETAS with their house cured chorizo- very good POLLO FIORENTINA- chicken was so tender and packeddd with flavor! BARRIGUITA- plentiful serving for a tapa, we loved the potatoes it came with too CHICHARRON DE POLLO- flavorful chicken and easier to eat than you think TARTAR- delish but small Chipirones- sooo delicately breaded you can barely tell, was great COSTILLA A LA PLANCHA- plentiful for a tapa, we recommend cooking for longer since its traditionally a tough cut of beef SAUTED VEGETABLES- tastey and not mushy thankfully! MILLIONAIRE CAIPIRINHA for my drink. was soooo good, not too sweet and not quite as sour as a margarita, was perfect for me!

When I was there, they had a DJ playing, and it added energy without being too loud or overwhelming. The Service was very good, the waiter answered and helped with all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.

    Review: Café Faubourg - Montclair…read more Café Faubourg is one of Montclair's true gems--an authentic French bistro that feels as if it were lifted straight from a quiet Parisian street and placed right in the heart of town. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the tone: warm lighting, intimate tables, and that unmistakable bistro charm that makes every meal feel like a small escape. The food is consistently excellent, starting with their hummus, which is surprisingly standout for a French spot. Smooth, flavorful, and beautifully plated, it's the perfect way to begin the meal and pairs wonderfully with their fresh bread. The steak frites is a must-order and easily one of the best in the area. The steak is tender and cooked exactly to preference, richly seasoned without being heavy, and served alongside crisp, golden fries that are everything you want in a classic bistro dish. It's simple, authentic, and prepared with the kind of care that elevates a traditional favorite into something memorable. Service at Café Faubourg is warm and attentive without being intrusive, contributing to the relaxed elegance of the experience. Whether you're dropping in for a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, the staff makes you feel welcome and unrushed. For anyone looking for an authentic French bistro experience in Montclair--excellent food, inviting ambiance, and truly charming service--Café Faubourg delivers every time.

    Food is average (and I think overpriced). Atmosphere is lovely…read more Service is good. They are attentive and very polite. Street parking.
