Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Fairlawn

A true stakehouse. Their menu offers a diverse variety of choices. Their service is impeccable with wonderful specials to boot. A wonderful dining experience!

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.

Beautiful restaurant and the food and drinks were excellent! We will definitely be back!

Excellent food, never disappoints, service is attentive, staff is very welcoming, would not hesitate to recommend this BYOB as a well needed addition to dining in Northern NJ. Menu items are delicious , portions are generous , and the daily specials it difficult to decide upon what to order. Hopefully your tablemates will share so you can try multiple dishes!

Right from the start our waiter Richard, our waiter was friendly, knowledgable, and fun! Appetizer melted mozzarella with Calabrian peppers was outstanding. We licked the bowl clean. Our party loved the 4 different mains. Portion size more than enough. Sadly, no room for dessert. We most certainly will be back.
