Went for dinner a little early There was plenty of open tables but they filled up as the meal went on. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Nice decor. It did get a little loud as the tables filled up We got the Mesob sampler, which was larger and varies. There were a large number of options to choose from from all areas of the menu. We chose high spice options across the board and they varied in heat, but a few had some really nice fire to them. Everything was well cooking. All of the meats were juicy and tender. There are plenty of veg options and gluten free us availtif you call ahead. The sampler was generously portioned and more than enough for two. The serve was good. Attentive but not assertive. They multiple employees checked in frequently. I am a hearty eater, but even though the dessert options sounded good, there I was too full to even consider it. Overall, very nice. I would absolutely recommend them

Great breakfast space with plenty of seating and tons of options including gluten free. Comfortable atmosphere, French toast was wonderful.

Steer clear. An overall unpleasant experience. They were out of several dishes, omitted components entirely (avocado on the salmon) or had made substitutions without letting us know - (ricotta (?) for creme fraiche on the bolognese, and most shocking: a corn tortilla for a gluten-free bun on a burger). On the upside the service was suitable - our server did their best considering the circumstances and their own frustration with the restaurant's lack of detail and basic ingredients. Hopefully management / ownership can right the ship - where its headed now is down, down, down...

I work in an medical office in Montclair, we wanted to order lunch from a new place. Great customer service and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Amazing taste and you can tell all fresh ingredients. They accommodate their menu to all, including gluten free! Absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to come here and experience the vibes and atmosphere. The restaurant is stunning! So happy I found this amazing gem!

We enjoy the dining experience at the Montclair House Grill. We were impressed by their friendly staff. Especially pleased to find Gluten Free items available

Plantivore Kitchen - Lauryn Emilia

It can be challenging to find a restaurant that not only has amazing food, but also has amazing service. Laboratorio Kitchen exceeded all expectations on both counts for my bridal shower event. The food is absolutely delicious and they are wonderfully accommodating for food allergies. They accommodated for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and more. Highly recommend the mushrooms, salad, and risotto. Everyone attending the event loved the food! Thanks to James, Lauren, and the whole team. The staff was so kind and constantly checking in on guests to see if they needed anything. Also, the restaurant is beautiful and bright. Would definitely host another event here!

Super cute space, a tiny step up at the front door so I don't know how that would work for people in wheeled devices, but I was limping kinda hard when I came in and I was able to navigate it easily. Delicious food with gluten free and vegetarian options. Delicious gluten free desserts, and fantastic rotisserie chicken.

Food was absolutely delicious! Will come here again with friends! They even have gluten free options for my fiancé! They have the most amazing BREAD as appetizers and the service here was nice, quick, and smooth! I would definitely come back to try other foods! Amazing atmosphere! All their cocktail drinks were delicious! Ordered the Burrata Ravioli! Huge fan of pesto pasta! Only downside was the portion, it was on the smaller end, however the taste was absolutely amazing!

Initially planned on going to Toast for brunch and the wait was too long. Walked over to Uncle Momo Bistro and was pleasantly surprised. They combined tables to seat the 4 of us and served us right away. The eggs and milk are organic. The crepes are amazing and all gluten-free! Definitely was happy that I went to Uncle Momo’s instead!

Dani Herzog

The food was so delicious! My friend and I got this platter to share with hummus, shawarma, eggplant salad, and beets salad. They provided regular pita and gluten free laffa for my friend. Really delicious and nutritious!

The breakfast burrito bowl was amazing, I ate it with such glee I forgot to take a picture. The bathroom is super clean there is very limited indoor seating I'm still not ready to do that but the outdoor seating is nice It's not in the street it's actually on a little sidewalk. and while the chairs aren't super comfortable for people with sciatic issues etc they're perfectly adequate for a meal. Raymond's is a New Jersey institution and I'm a big fan they're very accommodating and when it comes to my gluten and dairy issues and they're new turmeric lattes are super tasty.

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we all had at HALCYON Montclair. I threw a bridal shower that was perfection from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, engaging, helpful, and everything you would want them to be. The food was prepared in a stunning way and abundant and was as delicious as it was beautiful. No less than 10 out of 30 people in attendance told me the chicken was the best they had ever had ( it really really was) . The other 15 said the salmon was the best they had ever had and the last five couldn’t stop raving about the pasta. I had quite a few dietary restrictions ( lots of celiacs in the crowd) and they handled it like pros. The decor is absolutely fantastic and fit in with our “love is in bloom” theme perfectly! I could go on and on, but I will just say that if you have a party at HALCYON, you will be so glad that you did! I can’t wait to go back!!! .

My partner and I decided to try this new restaurant for a date and were pleasantly surprised. The service was great, our waiter assisted us with our reservation and was very kind and polite. The food was very good, and a few gluten free options were offered, you just have to ask your server and advise them of any dietary restrictions. We ordered muscles as an appetizer which were amazing. I also had the Tuscan chicken which was very good. For two Entrees and the one appetizer it was about $70, which is fair for this kind of restaurant. It is BYOB so if you’d like wine or a cocktail you will need to bring it yourself. It’s very nice inside the decor is very new and clean. We will definitely be coming back for another date night!

Was there last night to celebrate my 18th birthday. There was 8 of us, we came at 6:30 and were basically the only people in the restaurant and we left around 8-8:30. To start off: the food was great, especially the spinach dip though if you have a gluten intolerance you specifically have to ask for corn chips. We had a variety of food (Mac and cheese, empanadas, salads and burgers) and everyone agreed the Mac and cheese was the best. The staff and owner?/manager? Was super sweet, wanting feedback since we are a big younger than their typical demographic. This is something I really appreciated knowing that they are constantly looking at ways to improve their menu to better suite a wide range of people. Do not even get me started on the desserts they were AMAZING over 10/10 will come back also quick shout out to Dez our server who put up with 8 high school girls for 2 hours

Not sure if its because of covid or worker shortages but everything is self order and pay on a smartphone. You do not have a server to ask questions and only a runner brings you your food and drinks. This made it feel kinda like a fast food restaurant, think shake shack. I went with one other person who had questions about gluten free options and what was actually in the cocktails, but there was noone to ask. Not for us.

Great Italian sausage great Italian deli even has gluten-free Italian baguette highly recommend!!

I was so excited to visit this restaurant that when my friend cancelled at the last minute, I went alone. Fortunately for me I was on a conference call so I didn't feel lonely. The food was good. I ordered 3 sides and a salad as I am Gluten Free and there was not much on the entrée menu that I could order as I do not eat red meat and did not want shrimp n grits. I would have given the place 5 stars, but I took off a star for service. There was only 4 other people in the restaurant so it was empty. The owners were present and didn't come over to say hello, welcome to our restaurant or anything. They had friends there and only socialized with them. To top it off, there was some type of plastic particle in my collard greens. I placed it on the side of my plate and made the server aware. She replaced the collard greens, which was fine. The owner Tonza was present and saw what transpired and never came over to ask if there was an issue, apologize or ask if she could do anything to rectify it. It was disappointing, because even when I left they did not say thank you for coming or anything. Service is important in any business venture, especially a new business so I am hopeful that my experience will not be the same for someone else coming to support! Food for thought!

My "go to" place in Montclair for delivery of salads, pasta and pizza, All the ingredients are very fresh and high quality. Their staff who answer the phone are consistently friendly and helpful. Their gluten free items are delicious. The portions are generous. The chicken vodka pasta is a must. Having a casual wedding rehearsal dinner and getting it catered from Enzo's.

Breelyn Ganin

Love this place! The ingredients are always delicious and fresh-tasting. I’m gluten free and they offer almost every option gluten free (or have equally good gf alternatives) including “crispy onions” topping and a number of sauces. Has indoor and outdoor seating while the weather is still nice. Very nice staff as well.

Martin Jimenez

Good, we visited on day two, need more dietary food items on the menu, celiac, gluten free, and lastly I thought we were getting rush with our meal.

Trish S

Delicious food and amazing ambiance! The grilled octopus and roasted chicken are absolute must-tries 😍. The chocolate coulant dessert was the perfect sweet finish—like the cherry on top! Plus, they offer fantastic gluten-free options too!

Cornelia Wenokor

love this place. Best pizza in Montclair. They even offer a gluten free version. Great service, too.
