    I made a reservation for Sunday lunch. Upon arrival, we were promptly taken to our table. The restaurant had such beautiful interior, integrated with luxurious railway car vibes, and huge bar area in front. All the furnishings, wall arts and decors were so nicely put together. The menu had lots of good appetizers, a raw bar section, salads, steaks, seafood and few entrees. Some of their entrees had unique options of multiple small items together, like Ultimate Roots Trio and the Roots Express lunch. I went with the first one, that came with a slider, small lobster roll and lobster bisque. The slider wasn't too good, had plain bread, patty and some crispy onion. I'd have liked to some sort of sauce in it. But the roll and soup were really good. I also got the lobster bites for appetizers. These were to die for. Soooo creamy and buttery. They put these in a dish with holes. It was such a fantastic dish. The Mac & cheese was also a good dish. We also got a complimentary bread with butter. It was huge and top quality. The service was top notch. Our server was a pro, interacted with us on many different things other than just taking and serving orders. The manager also stopped by our table multiple times, had some wonderful conversations with him. Overall we have a wonderful family lunch here. I am surprised it took me such a long time to discover this amazing steak house. Will be back for sure.

    French onion soup

    Nice steakhouse at downtown ridgewood. Grand design in the dining hall. It definitely gives a vibe for "formal dining". Service is wonderful. Our server was tentative and friendly. Great interaction with us and our kid. We met the manager as well. Very nice guy. Professional. Food is great. I like the onion soup. They absolutely put work into the soup. Sweetness from the onion and savory from cheese complimented each other well. Crab cake sandwich and lobster are both good. Overall a great spot for date or family gatherings.

    Potatoes au gratin

    Roots has always been one of my favorite steakhouses in Ridgewood, whether it's for an event or just a dinner out. This is one of my more recent trips and second time being disappointed. We were able to walk right in on a Friday night without a reservation which was a huge plus. Service was just okay. Once our orders were placed it seemed as if our server was gone for extensive periods of time. We placed our drinks and appetizers first. The drinks came out rather fast as only an IPA and spicy guava margarita was ordered. The Maine lobster bites were good in flavor however it was missing either a splash of lemon or salt for some flavor as the sauce was pretty bland. Next we had the crispy shrimp scampi with their jumbo shrimp. The batter was undercooked and still doughy and definitely needed to be fried longer. The sauce however was perfect and we ended up using it on the lobster bites for better flavor. The spicy guava margarita was okay and nothing special for a featured cocktail. I ordered a watermelon Aperol spritz next and wow amazing. The watermelon flavor was strong but not overpowering and did not have that gross artificial flavor I was expecting. For dinner we ordered the prime NY strip and a filet mignon. The filet mignon was delicious, well seasoned, and cooked to the perfect medium rare. My filet mignon was okay cooked a bit more then I liked but our server was MIA for about 20-30 minutes after receiving our meals and I was starving so I suffered thru an overcooked dry steak. The potatoes au gratin were lacking flavor and seasoning which seems to be an ongoing trend for their sides. The popovers that came out at the beginning of the meal were good however the butter was rock hard and difficult to spread easily without making a giant mess. There are subtle details from my many years of coming here of their traditions that are fading away. They don't give you their history at the beginning anymore and when you get up from your table they always used to fold the napkin and place it back on your chair. Also the servers most of the time now are not as presentable in appearance and often have food stains on their jackets. This trip reminded me why we stopped coming into roots for dinner.

    Perfect steak

    Located in an area with many fine restaurant options, this steakhouse stood tall in service, food quality, and presentation. The French onion soup au gratin was, to the best of my recollection, one of, if not the best I've had. The depth of flavor in the broth, the perfect combination of crunch and soft in the croûton, and the sustained stretch of the cheese made this soup my best friend. I wasn't terribly hungry, especially after the soup, so I enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese. Like the soup, great flavor and texture, and lots of lobster (but no matter how much lobster, it's never enough ). Not too anything, just a great balance of flavors, textures, and... lobster. I want to call out the wonderful popovers served at every table, and mention the steak as well. While my dining companions enjoyed the steak and side dishes of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, the reviews were stellar. Cooked to perfection, the steak had a great char on the outside and tender, buttery texture inside. Even I was impressed! With multiple drinks, the bill was about $100/head including tip. Well worth it. Enjoy!

    95 percent of the experience is the food but often the remaining 5% is service; and it's the 5% you remember. This was 120%... food and service. Thanks Mr Wolf for making this a 1st visit, the 1st of many. Beef Wellington. Filet and "Cowboy," all good.

    Visited on a weekend for date night and we were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. We had reservations and were seated upon arrival. We were seated directly across from the bar. The server was attentive but not overbearing. They brought out bread and butter for the table which was warm and flaky. It was almost like a croissant- light and perfect as a pre-meal treat. I ordered a Jack & coke and it was well balanced- not too much soda nor too much alcohol. We then ordered the bacon and a Ceasar salad to share as appetizers. Both were good. For my entree I ordered the petite filete and we shared truffle fries and Mac n Cheese. The filete was cooked exactly as ordered (medium). Food was very good. We are very particular about our steak and this was a good steak (not the best we have had, but good). My only critique of the restaurant is the lack of music. They should have low music playing so that we don't over hear everyone's conversations. This stood out to us. Nonetheless, we liked our experience and we plan to try the Morristown location next.

    Lobster with Cherry Peppers

    Roots in Ridgewood is on par with any of the great steakhouses in NYC. The decor is both elegant and inviting, creating a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. The vibe is upscale but comfortable, making it perfect for both special occasions and casual dining. The staff truly sets Roots apart. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The hostesses greeted us with warmth, and our server, Sara, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Manager Kyle made the rounds, ensuring everything was perfect, and his touch added a personal, welcoming feel. This level of service is something other restaurants should aspire to achieve. Now, let's talk about the food - an absolute highlight. We kicked things off with the Slab Bacon appetizer, which was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. It was the perfect start to the meal. Next, we had the creamy burrata, served with fresh basil, heirloom tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic. The combination was just perfect, and the crostini added a delightful crunch. But the real standout appetizer was the Lobster Bites - a must-try. These little bites of lobster were creamy, cheesy, and so decadent. Honestly, they were better than most lobster dishes we had during a recent trip to Maine! If you're a lobster fan, you can't miss these. For the main event, we ordered the Porterhouse for Two, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The steak was perfectly seasoned and truly melt-in-your-mouth tender. It didn't need any sauce, but Roots offers several, and we couldn't resist trying a few. The horseradish sauce was a true standout: balanced, creamy, and not overly sharp, it complemented the steak beautifully. We also enjoyed the au Poivre and Béarnaise sauces, which were both rich and flavorful. There's also a house-made steak sauce that reminded us of the famous Peter Luger's - a great option for those who like a bit of extra flavor. For sides, we went with the classic Mac and Cheese and Brussels sprouts. Both were delicious - the mac and cheese was rich and creamy, while the Brussels sprouts had the perfect char and were seasoned just right. Roots also offers a refreshing alternative to alcohol with their selection of iced teas. We tried the raspberry and green tea mango varieties, both of which were wonderfully refreshing and a great non-alcoholic option. We couldn't leave without trying the Roots Signature Butter Cake, and we're so glad we saved room for it. This warm, buttery dessert is a dream - rich, indulgent, and utterly delicious. It's worth the trip on its own! And yes, we definitely had plenty of leftovers to take home - the portions are generous, but the quality is worth every bite. We absolutely loved our experience at Roots, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

    Second time was a charm. Max our waiter was great. Food is very good. Service is great and the ambiance is warm.

    Shrimp Cocktail
    Jessi T.

    I've eaten here twice and both times have been great! The steak, service, desserts, everything! On my last visit I had the prime cowboy steak which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was seasoned perfectly. The shrimp cocktail was great too! The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. I also liked the butter cake. It was really good! I'd order everything again. The service was also phenomenal. The food came out in great time and our waiter was so kind, attentive and a good listener. All-in-all, yes, come here. For sure. Especially if you love steak.

    Beef Wellington
    Miguel H.

    Roots steakhouse is a pretty solid restaurant. Famous for their Beef Wellington and their outstanding service, this place doesn't disappoint in terms of those two things. The ambience is that of a Pub/High-end eatery and is always bustling with people. So much so that sometimes it can be a little difficult to dine here. It's always extremely loud and even if you have a reservation for 7 PM you typically are going to wait 20 to 40 minutes for your table. And in my opinion, that truly disappoints that discerning diner. Anyway, let's talk about the food. The shrimp cocktail is phenomenal and any of their choice salads aren't going to disappoint. The steak options are always premium choice and cooked to perfection. But for me, my go to choice at this establishment is always going to be the Beef Wellington. I admire this dish for its simplicity, creativity, and its presentation. Oh yeah and also its flavor. The outer pastry is very light and buttery and the beef is always tender and cooked to perfection. What can I say, I just love this dish. So in summary, if I were you, I would definitely visit this establishing during it off peak hours, and I would definitely order any one of their delectable appetizers. And I will also recommend having one of their choice cuts of steak. I hope you enjoy this restaurant and happy yelping!

    Butter cake. 10/10.

    Came here for a business lunch. Restaurant was empty but food was really good. One of the best tuna tartare's Ive ever had. Service was also wonderful. The ambiance is old timey with a lot of dark wood. Would return.

We stopped in mid-week for a family dinner after work and even on a Wednesday the place was buzzing. The restaurant itself is pretty tiny, which makes for a cozy atmosphere but also means tables are very close together. If you can, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The menu is somewhat minimal, but the food overall was good. I eat gluten-free and noticed the options were a bit limited, which made ordering slightly challenging. I ended up going with the sea scallops. They were nicely cooked, but the portion was smaller than I expected--five small scallops with some vegetables. For the price, I do wish the portion had been a bit more generous. I have to admit I left still a little hungry. My dad ordered the short rib grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. That was probably the standout dish at our table. My sister ordered the honey bourbon chicken and said it was okay, but afterward she mentioned she probably should have gone with the short rib grilled cheese instead. One surprise of the night was live music on a Wednesday. I usually enjoy live music, but since we were hoping to catch up as a family it made conversation a little difficult. The music was fairly loud for such a small space. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. They also have a rewards program, which worked out nicely--my dad received a complimentary dessert for his birthday. I ordered the crème brûlée, which was a great way to end the meal. A couple practical tips: parking in Ridgewood can be tricky. The restaurant advertises valet parking, though we didn't use or see it during our visit. If you find street parking, make sure to feed the meter because the town is known for giving out tickets. In warmer months they do offer some outdoor sidewalk seating, though it looks fairly limited. It also appears they have a happy hour, though we didn't arrive in time to try it. Overall, I'd recommend checking out Steel Wheel Tavern--just be mindful of the timing of your visit, especially if you're hoping for a quieter dinner.

All the spreads were fine - nothing special about it. It comes with some pita bread for dipping. Next, we had some grilled halloumi -Avgolemono Soup - comforting on a cloudy day. Even my toddler enjoyed it and she doesn't usually like meat but ate a few chunks of the chicken -Grilled Halloumi (with fig jam) - this was a little oily and very salty. I did like the fig jam with it but $17.95 for a chunk of cheese is pretty pricey -Gyro Combo Platter (pork, chicken, and lamb gyro served with fries, pita, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki) - I missed where the menu said it's served with tzatziki because then I probably wouldn't have ordered the assortment of spreads. The pork was chewy, and the chicken was dry, but the lamb was good. They did have a nice flavor though. Again, my daughter who doesn't like meat even ate some of the chicken and the lamb. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, especially since there were really only two things we really liked. But if you do visit, I'd recommend just getting the lamb gyro. Tip - BYOB

First things first as I'm sure other reviewers have flagged but Lula is BYOB. We forgot that memo but luckily they partner up and recommend local wine / liquor distributors who are able and willing to swing down to the restaurant with a bottle of your favorite thing. Prices are high (on-par with what you'd expect from NYC fine dining) but the ambiance isn't stuffy and staff were kind, friendly and generally attentive. Note that the restaurant is generally loud (there is no music) so you might find yourself raising your voice to talk to your partner. The restaurant was completely busy so reservations are necessary though thankfully did not find it as competitive as NYC to get a prime-time Saturday night dinner reservation. The focaccia, a staple on Lula's menu, was excellent though I would do without the +$3 additional sardine sauce / accompaniment which I felt was unnecessary. The beef tartare was my personal favorite, light and delicious and a generous portion paired with the cream sauce and chips. We were generally satisfied by the time our entrees came out and I really enjoyed the salmon / fish dish they served along with the clams. Finishing with the Baked Alaska was also excellent (though not game-changing) and we enjoyed our time here. Would recommend a visit and think there's enough going on nearby to warrant a trip to Ridgewood, NJ regardless!

Upon arrival at our table, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the chef/owner, Michael Latour. Inside, this cozy, inviting, and casual vibe transported us to Paris. Various art pieces and designs were spread throughout two dining rooms. The menu is a culinary journey through flavors and textures. As an appetizer, we opted for the Scallops Rockefeller, Lump Crabmeat Strudel, and Roasted Beet Salad. Our main course featured Apricot-Glazed Duck Breast, Garlic and Mustard-Crusted Lamb Noisette, and Mac and Cheese with Lump Crabmeat Gratinée. Complimentary warm rolls with butter started our meal. Every dish was more impressive than the last. The sauces were perfection. Everything was tastefully delicious, well seasoned, and authentic. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was friendly and attentive; our server was Nancy. Michael, the chef, remains amazing as he goes by every table checking on his clients, old and new, to bring the personal touch. From the ambiance to the cuisine and the service, every aspect was executed with excellence, which we continue to recommend.
