Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Hackensack

Service was outstanding and very welcoming. We celebrated our anniversary there and it was great. Will book again.

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!

We really enjoyed the dinner. Benny our server was fantastic and really attentive to everything. We hadn’t been in years so it was nice to come back and still enjoy the quality of the food

Lefkes is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made our dining experience exceptional. Each course was perfectly timed, and they were always nearby, ensuring our glasses were full and that we had everything we needed. The team's knowledge of the menu and their recommendations were spot on, adding to the overall enjoyment. Lefkes has set a high standard for service—I can’t recommend it enough!

We had the most beautiful dinner at Oceanos last night to celebrate my birthday. Appreciate the parking lot has van accessible parking! We were greeted by upbeat host who sat us thoughtfully. The setting is elegant, with lovely decor annd lighting and low key music. Our waiter Matthew was a professional, funny and highly observant server. We had great cocktails including pear twist and lemon drop both deftly prepared. They served lovely fresh warm bread and olives with cocktails. The Calamari were generous pieces lightly fried with tasty Thai dip and the tuna stack with avocado was fresh and very prettily arrayed, like artwork. Our fish entrees were absolutely scrumptious. The sole was perfectly filleted with yummy lemon potatoes. Swordfish was a very tasty meaty steak carefully prepared. The sea bass was delicate with hint of brine. All was the freshest fish, most beautifully prepared. Timing was unhurried and thoughtful. Matthew must have heard us talking about it being my birthday and brought us a gorgeous birthday dessert, flanked with the most wonderful delicate Greek cookies. This was simply a perfect dinner and we are already planning our next visit. One of the hosts came by the table several times to make sure our dinner was going well. Thank you to owners, manager and all the wonderful team in the kitchen, front and back of the house for a wonderful evening.
