Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Belleville

Food was very good. The ambience was top notch. The service was excellent. Staff was cordial and attentive.

The food -- rack of lamb and beignets for dessert- was excellent. Their veggies are always cooked to perfection in this case roasted carrots and a creamy potato gratin. It's expensive but a great place to eat, Service is great, very attentive but not annoyingly so. I would highly recommend Nico's. I have eaten here for several years as I have NJPAC tickets. An excellent dinner and a good show is something to look forward to!

Always an amazing experience here. We always bring friends and family and they comment that the food is amazing. They are also so accommodating with my dairy allergy. My favorite restaurant in Montclair!

The lunch prix fixe menu is the best kept secret in all of Bergen County! Every single dish we ate was a winner! And beautifully presented. And the service (shout out to Albert M) was superb! Albert and the busboy were so well-trained, warm, and polite. We've been to Elia for dinner but really loved this beautiful restaurant at lunchtime! Ample parking lot. It's worth the drive. Just go!

Fornos is a go-to in Newark for a nice occasion. The staff is always friendly and professional, the atmosphere is wonderful - elegant but not stuffy/pretentious, and the food is exceptional. The selections are a challenge - in that there are too many good options; the flavor is wonderful, and you're usually taking some home, as the portions are generous. Then there are sides that come with the meal, along with the salad - plentiful. It's always a wonderful experience.
