    Love this place. The was super 👌 delicious and service was great. It was 11 of us and they were to fit us in. But I recommend call ahead for such big party. As you can see by the pictures I think we order everything on the menú . I had the brussel appetizer the best I ever had. Some one had the kale salad. Niece and fresh. Krispy green. Just good good good. We had to have fries because we foodies. They were regular. Nothing compare to the excelent quality of everything else. The children order the burger. Big and juice. Also good. They had a special of 1 he let me know with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. It was so tender we did not need a knife to cut in to it. Mash potatoes were scrumptious. So was the huge stake some one else had a table. The salmon was beyond delicious. It was a salad and you can taste the freshness of the lettuce. We also had the steak over salad that was just a good. For dessert we had the crumblelet that was so good and crust broke in such a way that you know he was going to taste it before you even had it in your mouth.the drinks 🍸 did not disappoint the best nichi martini ever. The service was beyond great. Sorry, can't help with pricing. I have no idea what it all came up to. Was not the one paying

    PWT has the best fries ever. Everything is amazing, but their fries make this place a go-to for my fam and me. Their decor is great too. I love the exposed brick, different levels and bar space. This place is a must-visit!

    Had a really nice time here for dinner on Friday. The atmosphere is really nice although it can get a little loud. The food and drinks were all excellent. Can’t wait to come again.

    All I can say is wow....the food was double my expectations, and I was expecting alot already. The menu is intentionally limited, which makes for a curated diverse selection. Appetizer was amazing, and the sandwiches we got tasted fresher than anything I had in a while. I highly recommend this!!

    We had a gender reveal party in their private room and the staff, especially Sophia were great. Sophia helped us setup the room and was very attentive throughout the entire party. The food was great and we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this place...loved the almond chicken nuggets and the burger!

    Enjoyed a nice dinner with friends and we are already talking about coming back. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, especially with our table next to the fireplace. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was incredible! You get a lot of food for the price and it was so delicious and flavorful. This is a great spot for a fun night out!

    We went on a recent Monday and found it completely changed from years ago. Unfortunately, the food and menu were very disappointing. Menu is very restricted, with very few choices. The steak sandwich was rewarmed, had a lot of gristle, was flavorless, and expensive. Even the hamburger had no seasoning and didn’t even come with a pickle! Too expensive, too noisy (some undefinable music and tv’s), save your money and find a good place to eat.

    Great spot! Not a huge menu but good service and food. We were there in the afternoon while shopping around town so I’m sure the dinner menu is more extensive. The ribeye spring rolls are a must have!

    Got the cheese + charcuterie board, it had a few slices of deli meat, a block of blue cheese, a block of gouda that was impossibleto cut with a butter knife, some mustard, jam, 5 mini pickles, 4 olives and 2 slices of bread. It's not even close to worth the $28 price. The mains were just as disappointing. We ordered the sea scallops and the hanger steak sandwich. The scallops were underseasoned, and the sauce was watery and created a small pool in the corner of the plate. The onions on the hanger steak sandwich were mushy, flavorless, and watery. The steak was fine but not worth the price. Our service was good hence the 2 stars. Wouldn't recommend.

    Our family frequents Park West Tavern for brunch and lunch. The food and service are pretty good. I would normally give this restaurant a 4 rating. However, on Sunday, we went for brunch with our kids. We were surprised to see a large party of about 15 people harboring 2 BARKING DOGS under the tables INSIDE THE RESTAURANT. This was very disappointing!! In NJ, and many US states, it is illegal to allow DOGS or animals inside retail food-serving establishments. The law falls under the health and safety regulations governing food sanitation in retail food-serving establishments. That means that should an inspection take place at the food-serving retail establishment while a dog is somewhere it shouldn’t be, the establishment would get penalized. The penalties range from monetary fines to a suspension or termination of the operator’s license. Not sure why the owner would risk and allow this. I felt the need to write this review as this is concerning and makes me question their hygienic practices.

    We went there for happy hour and tried their almond chicken nuggets and Wagyu Burger. Burger was great and the batter on chicken tenders was very good. We had a good time.

    The food was actually good. They bring to the table these crusty bread with cheese free. The French fries are amazing hand made. I got the burger it was very good but not super crazy about the bun. The appetizer were very good as well.

    Loved their sandwiches. We tried the truffle burger and the fried chicken. We tried a few appetizers and everything was great. Loved the atmosphere.

    Visited again for dinner last night and was surprised by the new menu - but very pleasantly! Everything was really well made, wide variety that made everyone in our group happy and the perfect complement to the always well made cocktails. Definitely will be there again soon to try some other items out!

  • 2/5 Sara E. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to wait to be seated since nobody there to greet us. Then waiter didn’t show up to the table for a long time and only after asking an employee where the waiter was. Then the food came out and not only did it not taste good, there was a hair in the food. We didn’t bother to complain but I was disappointed by the entire experience and felt a little misled by the reviews. I remember going here a few years ago and it was much better.

    For the money the food was not that good. The service could of been better. I was surprised that they had silverware on the counter next to the hostess exposed to everyone who entered. Finding a parking spot is a nightmare in this area as well.

    A favorite spot amongst my friends and family. Great spot for a quality dinner, and/or for a night of excellent drinks and appetizers. Always a great choice that does not disappoint.

    Went for early dinner. Seated immediately. Service was excellent. Amazing chicken "tenders" - best ever! Squash risotto with grilled chicken was perfect. We also had salmon on warm brussel sprouts.... delicious! Try the ricotta zeppoles with different sauces and whipped cream. A delightful evening!

    Grabbed dinner here for 2 people. Great selection of salad and healthy options. For appetizers we got the ribeye spring rolls which were very meaty and fantastic. It increased our appetite for the mains. Then we both got salads with protein added which were generous in serving and kept us very full. The food and the service was great! The waiter made sure we have everything we needed and answered any questions we had. They only offer some wines by glass so heads up for light drinkers. Offers variety of IPAs as well as common beers. Next time I want to try their cocktails and pasta mains as other tables seemed to be enjoying theirs as well. The only downside if I had to say was the indoor was bit echoey during the crowded times which made it bit difficult to have quiet conversations - we had to raise our voices a bit when talking.

    The reason for my one star is because of the food. All the staff were lovely, the atmosphere was lovely, but the food was absolutely disappointing. My partner got the skirt steak meal, and even though it was cooked to his liking, he said it was flavorless. My salmon was cooked wonderfully, but the rest of the dish; flavorless. For the amount we paid, the food was not worth it.

  • 4/5 Thomas G. 1 year ago on Google
    Park West is hit or miss on the food. The menu is somewhat limited (at least in my opinion) and I am not too big a fan. I tend to stay with several appetizers over a main course. The service however is great. There are several servers that keep me going for a quick local dinner out after a long day of work.

  • 1/5 FaithMB 3. 1 year ago on Google
    This would have been a nice place, however, all the potential was lost with my wagyu burger. Service was nice, as was the vibe of the overall restaurant. All that is in the garbage with the vile burger they had the nerve to serve me. I finished it, but it might come back up later. The burger itself was unseasoned, and the cheese was globbed on there and fell off as I ate it. The bun disintegrated as I ate it because the meat was dripping everywhere, and the aioli on it was just not up to par. The onions were also bad as well. It is not sitting in my stomach well. $24 for that is ridiculous, I get better burgers at shake shack than here. I’m truly upset.

    Nice atmosphere and decor. Friendly bartender and staff. The passed around appetizers were very tasty. However some options were unnecessarily complex in my opinion. For the main course. It started with a salad that was nice and simple, but unfortunately over dressed. The lettuce got soggy. Next came the pasta with vodka sauce. This was the highlight for me. Delicious! Plenty of sauce with basil and graded cheese and perfectly cooked pasta. I'd go back for full dishes including this sauce. Then it was downhill from here. The dinner rolls were inedible as they were very dry and stale with a sponge like texture like they were microwaved. The provided plenty of what looked like quality butter, but was unable to sample. The salmon dish was nothing special. It was slightly over and the flavor seemed to be just salt, and too much of it. It sat on a bed of under cooked barley and carrots that was unexpectedly sweet. Not for me. They also served a chicken and steak dish that visually looked good. I'll be returning next week for another party and an update. Thanks.

    Great place....nice and cozy. We went for Saturday lunch/brunch. Service was great and food was top notch. As crazy as it sounds....the Brussel sprout appetizer is a must. Even if you don't like Brussel sprouts...get it! Only downside that made me give a 4 rather than 5 is that the menu was a bit limited. Now that being said....everything we had was beyond good...but if your looking for a very varied menu or have someone that likes a bunch of choices....then it might be an issue. But thhats the only negative. We will be going back soon

    Love this place. Been meaning to write a review for awhile. This is our neighborhood treat and we love to unwind at this location. The hanger sandwich and martinis are exquisite. The service is always friendly and prompt to our needs. Take out has been a staple through the Covid times and it's always delicious and fresh.
