Best Casual Restaurants in Palisades Park

Another fantastic Island dinner experience-food, staff and setting simply delightful! Thx again for greeting us so warmly and making us feel so welcome!

2nd time to Red Rooster for the weekend brunch. Food is so good, we bought his cookbook after first visit. Well trained wait staff, great easy going yet professional vibe.

This is a wonderful restaurant. If I lived closer I’d go there every week. And Alex is my favorite host/waiter in all of NYC.

The food and ambiance are both exceptional. The restaurant's energy radiates cozy chic with notes of warmth and winsome furnishings, notably the upholstered chairs that neither bother the lower back nor hinder the hindquarters, ya feel? The food is a master stroke in Italian fare, with distinctive craft cocktails to match. The signature Oggi gin martini pairs Portofino gin with – not vermouth – but a small-batch bay leaf digestif from the Amalfi coast that evokes the holiest of cows from both the religiously reluctant and lactose ill-inclined lol. The food was yum yum in my tum tum and me most likey the flamey beets and noodles with quack quack. The little gem caesar salad was both a gem and the Caesar to my Roman empire okayyyyy?! P.S. Lexi was our server and she nailed not only the recommendations, but also the way she divided the courses for us. Mamá slayed the house down sneaks with her complete mastery of long division. Work!

Has the greatest HAPPY HOUR - loved the mussels - good sliders - $10 wine and on Mondays it’s all evening. Restaurant itself is attractive - good service - great staff - what’s not to like
