Park West Tavern: A Local Favorite for Cocktails and Comfort Food

The hamburger was very good, and the place was comfortable and relaxing.

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant via DoorDash, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food arrived hot, fresh, and was absolutely delicious. Although one item was initially missing, the manager, Claudio, went above and beyond by personally delivering the missing dish to our home in Pompton Lakes. His dedication to customer satisfaction truly sets this establishment apart. The Caesar salad had a homemade dressing that ranks among the best I've ever tasted—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The chef's salad was generously portioned and packed with all the classic ingredients, making it a satisfying meal on its own. The short rib ravioli were a standout, with tender meat and a flavorful sauce that complemented the dish beautifully. The steak sandwich was cooked exactly to my specifications, showcasing the kitchen's attention to detail. It's quite rare for a restaurant manager to personally deliver missing DoorDash items, but as this was my son's mac & cheese dinner, Claudio's gesture was exceptionally commendable.

I was really impressed with everything about this place. To start, the dinner menu had plenty of options. I decided to go with the chicken with the sauce was fantastic as an appetizer. The mix of flavors with the green onions was a great touch. For my main, I got the Warm Mozzarella, it was definitely a large plate with tomato’s, melted mozzarella cheese which was very good, and 2 pieces of bread, however, the dish was large for the pieces of bread. I ended up having to eat a lot of well flavored cheese and tomato’s. But, no complaints as it was a fantastic dish. The service was excellent. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and everything was quick and easy, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was great too, with nice, romantic lighting. The tables and seating were clean, and the entertainment, including a cool bar near the entrance, made it even more enjoyable. Overall, an awesome restaurant in Ridgewood!

Everything efficient and on point, the waygu burger cooked perfectly, my wife felt her salmon prepped very well with the outside seared and inside tender, service was great, got seated for 2 with no rez, two thumbs up.

Probably the best scallop dish I’ve ever had. Food, service and drinks were all A++ nice job guys

Great upscale sports bar downtown for bar bites and cold beers. This place would be ideal for watching games on The Weekend!

Exceptional for New Year’s Eve! Chef’s talent and attention to detail shined in every appetizer and main, and the cocktails were likewise delicious and balanced. I really appreciated being able to order off the regular menu on NYE (with additional NYE specials as options). They were super accommodating about removing meat from several dishes, and everything still tasted phenomenal. Hospitality was also a blast from the past in the best way. I called them several times and had a competent staffer answer immediately and go the extra mile in finals days before/of my reservation. They also called me to confirm day-of. Waitress was friendly and attentive. My one tinyyy gripe is that all food orders had to be placed at once on NYE. I don’t even hold this against them because of the holiday, but I’ll always order more when someone lets me hang onto a menu and see where my appetite takes me through the night. All-in-all, so good and will return! S

Wow! What a great time. Beautiful deco., warm, inviting, quaint, and fun. PWT staff is attentive and friendly, bartenders are out of this world. My wife and I indulged in banana mojitos that were absolutely perfect. Not overwhelming or overpowering, bringing me to the dinner meñu. Whatever app you choose, (gnocchi is insanely good), the flavors are all there. Freshness you can taste, and just wonderful combinations of flavor in every plate. Portions are good. Highly recommend trying any one of the specials as Chef Sheffler really puts in work. Just delightful. As you can see in my pics, I couldn't wait to dig in even before taking photos! What an awesome time. Can't wait to come back. In spite of the difficulty finding parking, the romantic walk did us good. I know I sound like a commercial, but trust me, you will too.
