Elia Mediterranean restaurant it is the place! The professional staff, music, plates presentation; and attention to details made the evening a special dinner to celebrate my friend’s birthday! Thank you Elia staff !!; for such welcome and sophisticated service this evening.

We have been going to the original Cafe Matisse for almost 30 years. When we heard that a new chef owner had taken over we had to give it a try. Matisse 167 did not disappoint. Chef Greg Power has definitely kept the tradition of inventive delicious dishes that former owner Peter Loria had established. The food, service, and of course the ambiance is as special as it has always been. We definitely will be coming back

We had a great time celebrating early Thanksgiving and everything about this place is amazing!! Starting with the valet, manager Yanni who was very accommodating and made sure everyone had a wonderful experience. The place is elegantly decorated, the food is super fresh and perfectly cooked and seasoned, the portions are very generous and the wines are spectacular! We are looking forward to our next dinner and will be bringing our friends as well. Thank you Oceanos for a beautiful experience!!

You can never go wrong eating at Capital Grille. The food is always outstanding and the waiters are remarkable. We’ve eaten at other locations in different states but to us the Paramus location is the best. I had the New England Clam Chowder soup, the Lobster salad. My husband had the French Onion soup and the Steak Frites . We finished our meal with the cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious!

Amazing food, lovely waitress & always a lovely celebration for our 28th anniversary 🥰😍
