    Food was absolutely amazing! The steak sandwich has great flavor and everything tasted fresh! Service was excellent! Our server and other staff who brought our food were joyful and friendly. I was amazed by their positivity and they were pretty busy! Good ambiance for Christmas so much decor to make the spirit come alive. Make sure I come annually around this time! Get Reservations on time! Def worth coming too!

    Blackened Pork Chop
    Dasle K.

    Toddler-friendly, amazing food, superb service. The short rib ragu was incredible! The pork chop was also so tasty. Everyone loved their food. We had a group of 11 - 6 adults and 5 toddlers and the staff accommodated us so well. We were in a separate room that we had all to ourselves until people came in for their 7pm reservations. Would love to come back for their Christmas decor next season!

    As much as I LOVE a happy hour deal, I never get out of work early enough to go. But this time I did!! It was a hot day so we both ordered the cucumber cocktail which was so refreshing. I normally wouldn't go for that, because it reminds me of spa water but it was perfect. We ordered oysters along with the Brussel sprouts and it was delish. For dessert, we got the chocolate banana cake with ice cream but it sounded better than it was. The cake was dry and felt like an old muffin. Other than the dessert, no complaints. Service was fast and friendly and the outdoor patio was empty so we were able to choose where we sat.

    oysters, sticky wings, fried pickles for happy hour
    Kimberly T.

    happy to have picked this place for dinner with the fam! we went on a weekday so it wasnt so crowded. Perfect since we got smaller kids with us! we sat outside since the August weather was nice that day and made it for happy hour. The food was delicious and was truly a definition of happy hour! lol we got fresh oysters, savory sticky shrimp and wings, and yummy fried pickles! Not to mention service from Michael was simply amazing. He was very pleasant and kind! also patient as we sometimes took a while to decide what to get! for entrees we ordered a bunch since we were a party of 12 but it seems everybody enjoy their food! i know i enjoyed my Cherry Pepper Rigatoni with added shrimp! a tad salty and oily but still good! too bad we didnt try dessert since we brought cake but that maybe another reason to return aside from all the good stuff happening here! oh and both indoor and outdoor settings are just beautiful!

    Service was friendly and attentive. Only con was that we were offered extra bread at no charge but they did charge on the check. Very decorated location with so many photo ops. I had the secret Santa which was different but good. Meatballs were okay but the shrimp was fantastic. Parking might be troublesome depending on the time.

    Korean Rice Bowl, made vegan by omitting egg
    Jianna R.

    We had a very nice experience, I appreciated the vegan options, I had fried pickles buffalo cauliflower, and the Korean renewal without the egg. The strangers meet cocktails was als veg nice and service was great. He had the pork chop and said it was very good and well cooked. Beautiful restaurant and we will be revisiting.

    Pesto pasta and chicken milanese

    Wonderful food, cocktails and service at this Verona spot. Here a few times a month. Julian behind the bar makes excellent cocktails and the kitchen never disappoints. Get the Parkside donuts for dessert.

    Came here for dinner on a Friday night and was seated promptly with our reservation. While the service was very friendly, it was so, so slow. We waited probably close to 10 minutes before our server came to greet us. The drinks took very long to come out despite being sat right by the bar, as did the food. We ordered some cocktails- one of their specialty drinks and an old fashioned, both were fantastic! For our starter, we got the sticky shrimp which were great, definitely my favorite thing that I tried. My husband ordered the French dip and I went for the chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy and I loved the pairing of it with the pickles and slaw, but the piece of chicken was huge and there wasn't enough slaw to balance it out so the sandwich tasted a bit dry. The fries were hand cut and tasted good so there was a lot of potential there, but were underdone. Overall the ambiance is nice and the patio seating is perfect for an evening cocktail, so I'd come back for a round of drinks and the sticky shrimp!

    Sugar donuts
    Taylor G.

    Mike was an incredible server and we had an INCREDIBLE meal. It was so beautiful inside and the perfect volume. We ate the Brussel sprouts, filet, and sugar donuts. I'd come back again for all three and Mike!

    Great atmosphere as it reminds me of their sister location (the barrow house). It's a funky vibe and truly fits the name park side social -- you feel important here. The cocktails are phenomenal and so funky fresh from the names all the way to the flavors! The food is average. I find that the hope is to make the plates just as funky as their drinks versus providing some staple dishes without the elevated spin. While there our elevated brussel sprouts weren't cooked all the way through, the French fries weren't crisp and my pulled pork sandwich was filled with just chunks of fatty pieces of pork. Another customer near us also had some concerns with their plate.

    Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
    Jessica R.

    This place is magical and one of my favorite Christmas bars, especially in NJ! I love how they have vegan options and it's clearly labeled on the menu. My personal favorite is their version of a Christmas themed Espresso martini with almond milk called Rudolph's Replacement. They even serve it in the cutest dinosaur with a Santa hat mug. The drink is so fun and decadent and has just the right amount of sweetness to balance out the tartness of the booze. I also tried the buffalo cauliflower wings and they were spicier than I expected them to be, which I loved. The decor and ambiance here is so wonderful and I really love all of the intricate details. There's great photo opps no matter where you turn. Everyone here was so friendly from the other patrons to the staff.

    I had a chance to dine at this place with the family. the food is great. the staff were attentive and friendly. the place have outdoor dining which was great for our family. They have a late happy hour also 6-7.

    I was able to get last minute reservations for Miracle on Bloomfield. The restaurant was very nicely decorated for the holidays. It was very busy but our server checked in on us throughout our meal. We shared the sticky shrimp and spinach dip. We all enjoyed the appetizers. I had the short ribs. I enjoyed my meal. I did find the amount of kale a bit overwhelming. We ended our night with the warm sugar donuts. They were very tasty. The star of the night were the cocktails. Some of them were served in festive mugs. They were IG worthy. Overall, we had a good experience.

We added some of our leftover caviar from the apps and it mixed perfectly!!! Spicy lobster is definitely a must as well! Can't wait to come back for our next date!! Pro tip: theres a parking deck right across the street behind the bike store! You can cross through the lit up alley pretty safely there.

The meat was fresh and good. A big step above most burgers plus generous portions of sauteed onions and mushrooms along with melted cheeses. When I get my hamburger craving, I know where I'm going. The Butter Chicken Tacos were an unusual option. Based on Indian Butter Chicken, the national dish of UK along with Chicken Marsala, it was served in a naan with a side of rice. Really very flavorful and creative. The chopped salmon burger with mayo also comes with cheese, which was unexpected, but worked well. Service was prompt and friendly. The waitress and another wait staff person even moved furniture around looking for my grandson's red crayon. (He was sitting on it). Worth a visit even if you don't go have a craft bar or cocktail.

The restaurant should train their staff to keep the check with them, or have the remote credit card machine. When the customer asked for the check, the staff should be ready to provide in a timely manner. I will still come back, but will be more smart to ask for the check way ahead of time.

I could always see a very few " Reserved Areas". (As the night went on, the place was packed). We were escorted to a seating area. It would've been nice to have been asked, if we had a preference in seating because of comfort and of course "the views" of NYC. In the past, we've been asked. Some of the seating consisted of slouchy sofas along with high top tables and chairs.. Our seating was the slouchy sofa area. I had to locate extra pillows to prop us up to just to reach the table. Plus the location of our seats didn't offer us the wonderful rooftop views. We've been there before, so it wasn't a big deal. Plus, it was a great night for being outside. Service was pretty good. Think they could've used more help on a Friday night. We had cocktails and two lobster rolls $26 each. The lobster rolls were very tasty. Food prices are a little high, but you're paying for being out on the rooftop. Since my last visit, there appears to be more wide screen TVs. Advanced reservations are highly recommended for outdoor seating (which we did!). Otherwise, you can forget about sitting outside. Despite the seating area and comfort issue, we enjoyed the evening.
