    fettuccine  porterhouse
    Kyla I.

    For starters, the complimentary bread choices is a bonus. The oysters for appetizer were very fresh and taste well, didn't have too much of a briney/fishy taste which was a bonus for me and sauces paired very well together. The pasta was very creamy and enjoyed the flavor. As someone who loves steak and is picky with how I receive it, I had ordered a porterhouse Medium Rare, the first one we received was overcooked to medium well and our server second guessed me when I brought it to attention. He had to call over another worker to double check and we had to ask once again if we were able to get it redone to our liking before even getting it replaced right away. The second porterhouse we received was done correctly and was seasoned well and had enough fat to make it buttery and melty. Espresso Martini was made well and for Whiskey Sours, if you like them on the smokier side, I would recommend it. All in all, we enjoyed all the food but the only set back for us was that we had to wait a little longer for our steak which we wanted to pair with our pasta. By the time it came out correctly, our pasta was already cold.

    Celebrated my aunt's 70th birthday with a Sunday brunch at Sofia, and overall it was a really nice experience--with a few things to keep in mind. 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.

    Gorgeous aesthetic and very spacious. I booked this for my brother's birthday and the staff were very kind. It's a great place for all occasions. As I was leaving, a large dinner crowd was arriving, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. They also have a smoking section where you can order and enjoy cigars indoors. The appetizers were the highlight for my family and really got everything off to a great start. Our table favorites were the Eggplant Rollatini, Thick Slab of Bacon, and Fritto Misto. I had the Chicken Paillard, and the sautéed mushrooms on top really made the dish. The drinks were also lovely, with a creative cocktail menu. The Jungle Bird was my personal favorite. Overall, it was a pleasure being a patron here. One surprise was that the prices are very comparable to Manhattan, which caught me a bit off guard.

    Sofia 36 Engle St. Englewood, NJ 07631 Chicken Palliard I was captivated by the narrow hallway with a cigar and wine storage area leading to a secluded lounge. While most places are reluctant to even serve a glass of tap water, I appreciate that they provide a full size bottle for the table. The server and bus boy were both attentive keeping my water glass filled. The complimentary bread and breadsticks with the olive oil and marinara sauce was phenomenal. Chicken Palliard: Sadly, I did not pick the best entrée. The chicken definitely needed a fair sprinkle of salt and peppers as I feel it lacked flavor. Although the onions were sautéed, they were not caramelized enough according to my standard. I was definitely impressed with the ambiance and service, so I will definitely consider returning for a future visit. I will be sure to avoid the Palliard! #sofia #sofiaenglewood #chickenpalliard

    chicken parmigiana, Ravioli Butternut squash, fettuccine
    Joyce K.

    The restaurant itself was beautiful and I enjoyed the ambiance despite the occasional club song ruining the vibe. There was complimentary bread for the table and we ordered calamari to share. For our entrees, we had the chicken parm, fettucine, and ravioli. The ravioli was just alright and I wouldn't order it again. We had informed the waiter at the beginning of the meal that we were here for a friend's birthday. We were told to order a dessert and it would come out with a lit candle. During our meal, the table next to us and behind us had a table and we saw the lit candles for their birthdays. However, when we ordered our dessert (parfait), it did not come with a candle. We raised this concern to our waiter and he anticlimactically stuck a candle in the dessert and lit the candle without apologizing. We were disappointed with this as we felt he should have taken the dessert back to bring it out again with the candle for effect. We brought up our concern to the manager and he was very apologetic and adequately addressed our complaint.

    Went to Sofia for our one year anniversary. This place was the truth, we ordered the New York Strip, Chicken Milanese, truffle Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts. The highlight was the steak cooked medium. We unfortunately didn't get a picture. For dessert we split the tiramisu. They had a ton of options but I paired a coffee with the tiramisu and it was delicious. I loved it! This place is super cool with the cigar lounge underneath. The staff were quick and super respectful. Please check out my pictures.

    Came here on a Friday evening at 530 with reservations for s high top by the bar. There's street parking and valet. I chose to self park around the corner from the venue. We chose outer food from the happy hour menu. We got the mussels calamari, Caesar salad and truffle fries. Also ordered the Seductress cocktail, which was pretty good. Our service was really good. the manager even came over, welcomed us and cleared out our table. The mussels were okay. A tad bit bland, the Caesar salad and calamari were pretty good. However, the truffle fries were over fried and way to oily. We ventured downstairs and was given a tour of the cigar area but was not allowed to stay as we were not members. The ambiance is upscale. They had few different seating areas. The place got packed pretty quickly around 730, 800 pm.

    Lavender corpse reviver
    Maya H.

    Went to Sofia over the summer for an early dinner and had such a lovely time! The front dining area is drenched in natural light and continues to bring a little bit of the outside inside with a tree at the center of the dining room. There's plenty of seating, so it's perfect for a solo date at the bar, date night, or an intimate dinner with friends. I believe there is a cigar room (not sure if that is also a dining area), but when making a reservation, I made sure to specify that I did not want to dine there. We sat in a corner booth with a full view of the dining and bar areas. Drinks: My partner ordered a No Crying In Baseball, and I started with a Lavender Corpse Reviver (the corpse reviver has become a go-to gin drink, and the lavender twist was a nice touch!) Starter: We ordered the sizzling slab bacon -- a must if you're a bacon fan. (This can also be added as a compliment to a steak if you order that for dinner) We paired it with the Italian long peppers with sausage, aged provolone, and oreganata. Personally, the latter was my favorite! Entrées I heard lots of good things about the Porterhouse for two! It's served on a piping hot plate, so it continues to sear. We ordered a pappardelle to share and a side of creamed spinach. Something I recently learned about myself is that I love combining my steak with creamed spinach. It's the perfect buttery and cheesy bite! We washed it down with a glass of Robert Mondavi. The bill was exactly what you'd expect but also way cheaper than what I paid at Hell's Kitchen in AC (which was highway robbery IMO lol). I absolutely recommend Sofia, and I can't wait to go back!

    The food was excellent. We ordered a salad with shrimp (Insalata Sofia)a grilled Porterhouse, which was impressively large and delicious ; lemon chicken (Pollo al limone) was succulent...moscattos, drinks and desserts The dishes definitely have high-quality ingredients and flavor x me. All of our servers, starting with the first one who spoke to us, whose name is Fredie, were very kind and very professional, always attentive to us. The place is beautifully decorated. It's suitable for medium and large groups as well. They have enough staff to serve everyone If the restaurant is full. I personally like to go early and during the week because I like quieter environments to be able to chat with my friends. But last night, Thursday, a friend from Mexico came to visit me, and I made a reservation. It was quite full and the noise was medium-high. If you like that atmosphere, it's perfect. The person who got our reservation for me over the phone and who later became the hostess who greeted us at the restaurant entrance was fine. Congratulations to the manager, the waiters, the chefs, the cooks. To the entire team in general. Thank you very much, and I'll be back again. Blessings.

    Buratta appetizer polpette appetizer
    Natalie A.

    My first visit was out of this world and my second visit solidified my opinion on my first visit even more! The food was so comforting and filling. Everything came out in a timely matter. The porterhouse was enough to split between 2 of us with 2 sides to share. For apps, each one pictured are EXCELLENT choices; the meatballs were so soft and tender and just break down in all the right ways and even better? Comes with a dollop of ricotta cheese. The buratta comes on a bed of arugula tossed in what tasted like balsamic vinegar. Lastly, the crab raviolis was such a refreshing dish and was stuffed with perfect amounts of crab. The cocktails were amazing; not overly sweet or strong but definitely sneak up on you! Service was phenomenal. I had 2 different servers for both visits but both assured everything was in place and in our favor at all times. For the ambiance, this is the place for those aesthetic pictures ladies! During the day, the natural lighting pours into the dining area. Once you head downstairs, it becomes dark and has a mysterious feel; this is where you realize you've found a hidden gem for you to find on your own I want to mention a huge shout out to the owner who is such a humble person and conversed about many things during our visit; Phenomenal place with great people and very tasty food!

    I almost didn't go to Sofia because of some of the reviews I read on here. However, I cannot express how glad I am that I gave this restaurant a chance! First of all, it was easy to get a reservation through their website which is always a great start to the experience. Secondly, it's a beautiful restaurant. Right away when they received us I could see its super elegant and modern decor. It's a rather large restaurant so we had to follow the hostess for a little bit to the covered patio, but the patio also did not disappoint. It's spacious and beautiful, and there was even a DJ. The waiter attended us right away and got our drinks out in less than five minutes, our appetizers in less than 10 and the entrees in less than 10 minutes after we finished the appetizers. The drinks were super well balanced, refreshing and delicious. We ordered the mozzarella and tuna tartare for our appetizers. Both were super tasty although I like the tartare better because I felt like it had more exciting flavors. For our entrees, my husband had a NY strip which came with steak sauce and coarse salt. And I had the parpadelle with ragu which was absolutely delicious. Overall, we had an amazing experience. If you're considering a fun date night in the area I highly recommend giving Sofia a shot.

    Is the bar good to visit after dinner for drinks only?

    Yes, heading to Sofia for drinks is a great idea! Just keep in mind that the bar area can get quite busy, so it's a good idea to be prepared for that possibility.

    Do they offer truffle for everything, or is it a part of their specials? Either way, how much do they charge for it?

    How much is the prefix brunch and what does it include?

    Anything special for birthdays?

    What're you, 5 years old?

    Is there somewhere I can view GF accommodations or see what on the menu is GF? Gf= gluten free.…

    They do offer GF options but you would have to go there to see them. The online menu does not specify. The food they offer is very good and upscale so I'm sure you'll be very pleased with what they offer as long as you're willing to pay the price.

    Do I need a reservation for Saturday brunch?

    it is Recommended!

    Is there music at night on the weekends?

    Yes we have Dj playing Wednesday to Saturday night

    Which weekend night is better for drinks? Friday or Saturday?

    I'm sorry, I've only been to that place once

    Do you have brunch menu on weekdays?

    No we don't, only Saturday and Sunday

Very limited Flavors to begin with and except for one, all other flavors were not so great. On top of that, they charge $10 extra to replace the Coals. $10 for COALS..?!?!? I have been to so many Hookah Lounges and this was the 1st we were ever charged for getting the coals changed. That is just atrocious. Switching the complete bowl with new flavor was $20, so obviously we ended up opting for that eventhough the 1st bowl/flavour was still good and just needed new coals.

Choices available in the pre-fix Menu were pretty decent and everything we ordered tasted good. We also ordered some drinks and they weren't bad.

Decor of the restaurant was so cute and did live up to the Greek Theme and felt like a good option for quiet Dates or a relaxing meal with friends and family.

Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni's Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients.

Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them.

We went on a Wednesday night around 7PM and while there were a good amount of people dining we were able to get a table right away. We ordered the burrata to start and it was delicious. It was served over oranges and with walnuts which seemed like odd pairings to me but it just worked. I love burrata. It's always pricey, but I'm a sucker for it and will likely order it every time. We got the skirt steak, octopus, Pizza al Tartufo, and Diavolina pizza. Everything was fantastic. The skirt steak was cooked medium rare as ordered and it was served with some greens. It wasn't mind-blowing, just a good skirt steak. I would probably skip this on a return visit so that I could eat more pizza. The octopus was cooked perfectly as well. It wasn't tough and chewy and it had a nice char to it. It was a pretty large tentacle served with an arugula salad. The salad had a citrusy dressing on it which was refreshing. I really enjoyed the pizzas. We went with a white and a red pizza. THe white pizza was topped with fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and black truffle oil. Everything went well together and the truffle flavor wasn't overpowering as it sometimes can be. The red pizza had hot sopressata, fresh mozzarella, and grana padano. The sopressata was actually a little spicy which was different from the white pizza. Both pizzas had a great crust with just the right amount of char. It was firm enough to hold up the sauces and toppings but had enough give in it so that it didn't have the texture of cardboard. Service was friendly. The place had a nice cozy feel to it. It's pricey but I'd definitely come back.

    While traveling to NJ for business, I stayed at the hotel right behind Aumm Aumm. The hotel staff…read moresuggested it for a quick meal. Although it was literally right behind the hotel, it was difficult to find, at least the entrance door was! The door was physically covered with heavy plastic (envision a freezer with thick strips of plastic hanging in its doorway.) Once I figured it out & went inside, I was welcomed by the restaurant staff. My husband and I were the only patrons in there at the time. We were directed to sit wherever we liked so we chose the bar. The staff was definitely on top of taking care of us. Menu options were plentiful and decision making proved difficult, I figured I couldn't go wrong with pizza. To me, it was NOT the best tasting, as this restaurant was truly Italian and used real Italian ingredients! My husband chose an entree, veal Parmesan, and he said it tasted great.... But later had an upset stomach. Anthony, our waiter, provided us great service and was very attentive. Toward the end of our meal, the restaurant began to get busier and some regular customers sat at the bar next to us. It was nice to see that it wasn't just hotel guests patronizing this restaurant. I'm sure it would be nice to sit outside on the deck in the warmer weather, as well! If we ever come back to Englewood, we may give it another try.

New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

For an "upscale casual" place, this isn't just overpriced but misleading. The food itself wasn't bad, but the portion completely killed the experience. If you're ordering from Barrel & Brew, just know what you're getting into. This felt more like a joke than a dish.

They definitely shine even more with a little hot sauce on the side. Easy 8/10. The highlight of the meal was the steak tostones. The steak was juicy and tender, the guacamole added a fresh touch, and the tostones were perfectly crispy. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more on the plate because they disappeared fast. 8.5/10. For my entrée, I had the grilled chicken topped with mushroom sauce. It was good and cooked well, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning and heat to really make it pop. 7.5/10. Beyond the food, the ambiance was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
