We had an enjoyable time here! Somewhere in the 4.4 star range. The food is good, vibe is good, great cocktail menu and frozen drinks. Menu and space is kid friendly (plenty of high chairs). The other reviews about slow service are true - our food came out quickly but they needed another bartender to handle the traffic. Wine pour is strangely small, but I’d still give them another visit!
Cool place with a hip vibe perfect for the setting it is in and the town where it resides.
The overall experience was a bit disjointed. The staff was somehow politely inattentive. They had a vibe like they were straight out of central casting...the modern day equivalent of the coolest record store in town...the High Fidelity of hip modern casual cuisine.
Our food came late (we think they forgot to put the order in) and the lack of caring was evident. Meaning the staff seemed more interested in spending time with each other rather than their customers.
Food was good, menu options are eclectic. You could go there for a date night or with the family and have an equally good time.
Four stars for the sliders-they were delicious!! Nachos were not impressive since toppings were minimal. I was disappointed that the Bar was out Bloody Mary mix on a Sunday during brunch and the beer selection was minimal. The inside was not what I expected -more of a cafeteria style dinning experience but great for a quick casual meal as a family or with friends. I am excited to check the place out when the outside space can be used -this should create a unique vibe for Montclair. Will be returning for an undated review.
