Best Romantic Restaurants in Passaic

The service and food was outstanding. The portions were generous for a pre-fix lunch menu. We celebrated a birthday and were treated to a birthday cheesecake on the house. This was unexpected but appreciated. Overall a wonderful experience.

Wonderful for a celebration for a friend’s birthday

Food and service is always great. Enjoyed every minute of the experience.

Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to spill the beans on Matisse 167 in East Rutherford. This isn’t just dining—it’s a full-blown gourmet experience that hits you in the taste buds like a symphony of flavors orchestrated by food gods. From the moment we sat down, the staff was next-level exceptional, anticipating every need like they had a crystal ball. Keith, our server, was the MVP, making sure everything was flawless. Seriously, this guy must moonlight as a mind reader or something. And then there’s Greg—the chef. Oh man, this dude’s not just a chef; he’s an artist with a side of wizardry. He came out into the dining room, checking on everyone like a culinary superhero. By the time we finished our four-course Michelin-star-level meal, all I wanted to do was shake this guy’s hand and thank him for putting together a dining experience that went way beyond anything I could’ve dreamed up. Every bite was like winning the flavor lottery. Pro tip: it’s BYOB, so grab a bottle (or three) of your favorite wine and prepare to have your culinary socks knocked off. Matisse 167 isn’t just a meal—it’s an event. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation. Go there. You’re welcome.

Very charming, cozy place. Felt like we traveled back in time. Definitely recommend for a relaxed night out on a date!
