The arch-roofed dining room is absolutely charming, with whimsical colorful chandeliers and a warmth that pulls you right in. There's also a gorgeous globe-lit back patio that looks like it's seen some unforgettable evenings. BYOB at a restaurant this good? Yes. Take advantage of it. The menu is fixed-price, four courses with three options each -- simple, elegant, and unpretentious. Cash discount in March is a nice bonus too. Now the food -- where do I start. The **Roasted Candied Beets Carpaccio** was visually stunning and tasted even better. Blood Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette, Burrata, Prosciutto -- every flavor had its own moment. The **Crab Cake** was loaded with fresh, quality crab -- the chive oil pairing was spot on. But the showstopper? **Venison Wellington.** Tender, perfectly seasoned, and not something you see on many menus. I would order it again without hesitation. Finished with a peanut butter, chocolate and banana dessert paired with an espresso -- an absolutely perfect ending. The staff was warm, attentive, and somehow never made you feel rushed or hovered over. That's a gift. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Highly recommend -- just bring your favorite bottle and your appetite.

The outdoor garden patio is absolutely beautiful, filled with flowers, lush greenery, and tranquil water fountains that create an enchanting atmosphere. It's also BYOB, which is a nice touch. The menu changes seasonally and offers a prix fixe option: two savory courses plus dessert for $95, or three savory courses plus dessert for $125. The staff was exceptional, polite, attentive, and very accommodating throughout our meal. A few things to keep in mind if you choose to dine outdoors: since you're eating in a garden, you may encounter a few ants or mosquitoes. It wasn't overwhelming, but it's something to expect. Also, the portion sizes are on the smaller side. As for the food, I thought it was good, but I didn't love it, especially considering the price. We ordered the crab cake, burger, crème brûlée, and venison. The crab cake and crème brûlée were both beautifully presented and delicious. However, the burger was undercooked, and my date found the venison to be quite dry. Overall, this is a wonderful spot for the ambiance and experience. The setting is romantic, peaceful, and unlike many other restaurants. While I personally didn't find the food memorable enough to justify the cost, I'd still recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful evening in a truly magical garden setting.

    Jim Dandy's 102 Park Ave…read more Rutherford, NJ 07070 Mango Habanero Wings Smoked Brisket Full Rack of Ribs Bird In Hand Smoked Pork I randomly found out across this barbecue restaurant as I walked along the main strip. Having no knowledge of this location, my curiosity led me inside. Jose, the manager, told me the chef prepares a homemade barbecue sauce, which has been a family secret recipe for over 30 years. Jose also brought to my attention a really great deal offered on Tuesdays: full rack of ribs for the cost of a half rack! He gave me a free sample of the secret sauce. That spoon size taste went a long way as I was immediately hooked by its flavor and tanginess. With the exception of the wings, I tried the sauce on all of their killer meats! The tender, juicy brisket melted in my mouth. The pork ribs fell right off the bone. My personal favorite was the bird in hand. This half chicken made me feel like I was in dining at Medieval Times in Lyndhurst! The only thing missing was a tournament with gladiators grappling in a colosseum! Between the tasty meats, strictly confidential house made barbecue sauce, and the excellent service from the manager and the servers, I was very content and my crave for barbecue has been happily fulfilled! #jimdandys #killermeats #barbecue #MangoHabanero #smokedbrisket #rackofribs #pulledpork #barbecuechicken

    Jim Dandy's is a laid-back BBQ spot in Rutherford that delivers solid comfort food in a cozy,…read moreno-fuss setting. The ambiance is casual and welcoming-- It's not fancy, but that's part of its charm. The staff seem friendly and attentive. The food is hearty and flavorful, especially the wings! The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. However, our only drawback was the heavy hand with the BBQ sauce--it overwhelmed the smoky flavor of the meat. If you like your ribs super saucy and sloppy, you'll probably love them, but it might be too much for those who prefer a more balanced bite. It's BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle--because ribs taste better with a drink in hand and no corkage fee in sight, right?

The decor was really colorful and the seating was comfortable. For drinks (not pictured), my husband had the margarita and I had the freshly squeezed lemonade. Both were really good. I ordered the Mexican pork ribs, which the waiter recommended. My son had the kids meal. The Mexican pork ribs had pork ribs sautéed in tomatillo sauce, which added nice acidity to the dish. It was also served with rice, beans, and corn tortillas. The kids plate had chicken with rice and beans. He absolutely loved it, I had some of his chicken it was juicy. This place is the definition of home style meal. It just tasted like something your grandmother would make. It was super satisfying and filling. We also took churros to go. They were very crispy and came with chocolate and a light dulce de leche sauce. The restaurant was clean and the waiter was very nice and attentive. Everything came out quickly. I didn't see the bathroom. Prices were reasonable, I think for the plate size, it was a good price. We're really excited to try their brunch menu!

    I have had this place bookmarked on Yelp for the longest time. I was seafood and my husband…read moresuggested we try this place out. When I told my mom where we were going her reaction- "omg that place is still around?!? It use to be excellent back in the day!" Well I am happy to report this place is just as good today as it was during my mother's heyday. I decided to get a few oysters and clams to start off with and everything was just so fresh. As an entree the Seafood in a spicy red sauce was easily one of the best I have had in a very long time. There was a generous amount of seafood within the dish, the sauce I swear I could just drink it out of a cup and the pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the bbq ribs which I didn't try but you could see how they just slid right off the bone and he couldn't stop talking about how good they were. We ended our meal with some strong espresso. I enjoyed how it is a very casual atmosphere with a nice bar area that had a few TVs to watch some sports games. No need to dress to impress. The service was a little bit on the slower side but the waitress was very nice. The man who brought out my oysters, I asked him which were the east coast and which where in the west coast oysters, along with asking him where in the west coast my oysters were from and he couldn't tell me. I just think a place should just know these things is they are selling them. Nonetheless we still really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to return.

    Haha. Back again two weeks later. I just love Biggies!!! I had the burger this time with the onion…read morerings. They make an awesome burger. And of course we had the fried calamari.
