Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Rochelle Park

As usual, the food was amazing! We had Seabass and the chicken souvlaki, and both were fresh and delicious. The cocktails and wine selection was completely to be desired. it was cozy and well decorated. The service was excellent, and the staff very attentive. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Balloons and other table decor made the Valentine experience special. Food was delicious. One order error came with huge apology, and with no time to fix they removed from bill. I loved the dining experience. Thank you!

Me and my fiancé had a lovely Valentines dinner. I definitely recommend the Pekín duck, although it seems that just about anything made there is fantastic. The Valentines menu was a fixed price, so it was a little bit different in value than it normally would be, but the service was fantastic and friendly. If you go to F1RST, they will do their best to give you a 5 star experience all the way through, and I feel that they succeed. The atmosphere is a bit more modern, and it feels almost like eating in a house. From what I can tell, everything was quite pristine, as it is a newer restaurant. The only qualm I might have is that gratuity was included, which I was not alerted to beforehand (as least that I know of). It is possible that this was just for Valentine’s Day because of the fixed price, but I can’t be sure. It was what I would have tipped anyways (standard 20%) so it didn’t upset me too much. I just would have liked the notification beforehand is all. Even the starter bread was delicious, as when I received it and began to dip it into the Pesto they provided (which is a bit of a unique and welcome turn by the way), I just knew I needed seconds! If you’re looking for a more upscale restaurant to spend an evening, but you’re worried about not getting enough bang for your buck, come here and you won’t regret it! And if anyone from the restaurant happens to see this comment, thank you again for a lovely evening! I’ll be sure to come back again :)

The food was wonderful, the staff was so welcoming and polite. We were so happy to have Steve as our server, he was fantastic. We definable will be coming back.

the only comment, and this is coming from a trauma nurse would be that the hallway to the bathroom is too dark
