Charlie Brown's	Montclair, NJ

If you stick to food that is grilled such as steaks, burgers, fish fillets you won't go wrong. But I would not recommend much experimenting, because when they try to get fancy it doesn't work. I would not ask for a Bernaise sauce here, but I also wouldn't want the mushroom sauce either (too much thickener, less mushrooms). The high rating is for the food they do best, if I were to rate the whole menu, deduct 1 /2 star. less

It's good for a first date, or a night when you want to do something special and not worry about the check, the food is good, but not as good as it could be for the prices charged. less
Ocean Pavilion	Ocean Grove, NJ

The prices are fair and because of the large size you don't have long to wait for a table. The burgers and the fried foods are good. Some of the other combinations are not always as good, such as some of baked seafood, pastas, etc. The menu does has a lot of variety, maybe too much variety, in any case, you won't be disappointed if you don't order out of character i.e., filet mignon, or broiled lobster. Enjoy a day at the beach, then go in and have a cheeseburger and fries and enjoy the ocean view. less
Blue Sky Cafe	Montclair, NJ
I've had friends that absolutely raved about this restaurant, I did not find it so. It is a good classy place in downtown Montclair on Bloomfield Avenue. The food can be both good and mediocre. That's within the same dish. This tells me that ... more I've had friends that absolutely raved about this restaurant, I did not find it so. It is a good classy place in downtown Montclair on Bloomfield Avenue. The food can be both good and mediocre. That's within the same dish. This tells me that more than one person is preparing, or something is prepared too much in advance. Which to me is inexcusable for such a small restaurant with limited seats. Perhaps the chef took the night off the Wednesday we dined there. less
Just Jake's	Montclair, NJ
The food is underrated and good. It is 1/2 a bar and bandstand, but the restaurant tucked in back is quite nice. The food is not too complicated and is done well.

It is 1/2 a bar and bandstand, but the restaurant tucked in back is quite nice. The food is not too complicated and is done well. There is also a Sunday Jazz brunch which is great, when we get a sunny Sunday, then you can sit outside and enjoy life, not to mention seconds and thirds. less
Mexicali Rose	Montclair, NJ
If you like a festive atmosphere, you will like it here. The food has mexican influence, but is too Americanized for me. Enjoy the burritos and enchiladas and think California, not Southwest. That's my take, what do you think?
Office Beer Bar & Grill	Montclair, NJ

Stick to burgers, sandwiches and finger foods you won't go wrong. It is a great place to meet someone, because it has a wraparound bar, and some lounge seating. If the items featured have more than four ingredients skip it, then you won't be disappointed. High cuisine, it's not, but is a nice pub with pub-type food. less
Princess Diner	Wayne, NJ
Great place to go if you are on Route 23 and it is after midnight. It's a typical diner with a wide range of choices. (How do they do it?)

It's a typical diner with a wide range of choices. (How do they do it?) But stick to the essential, burgers, fries, fried finger foods. Diet another time! It is afterall, after midnight. It is a welcome place and the coffee is good. less
Romano's Macaroni Grill	Wayne, NJ

(Which we know it isn't.) Make sure the pasta is "al dente" and has plenty of sauce and the ravioli isn't too soft so it breaks when you pick it up. Why open one of these type of restaurants in Northern Jersey? Beats me. less
