The Grill At Riverside - Hackensack

I tried this place once before and had a negative experience. Based on other good reviews, my family and I gave it a second try and went for lunch on Saturday. I am very glad we tried again! The food was very good all around the table. The fries! Crispy and just the right thinness! Chicken bao, chopped salad, octopus were all great and the server was friendly and capable. The only reason I am not leaving 5 stars is that the food was pretty slow. I mean, the pace may have been normal for a relaxed dinner with wine, but for lunch in a mall... we sat for too long, sorry. Houston's has the timing nailed. I am glad we gave it a second chance because we were all happy with our food, and we will try it again in the future.

I can't put stars over the food of a party. I know it will differ from the usual menu, however It shouldn't. (talking about quality I do wanna recognize the politeness of the servers and how nice they were, because they really really were very respectful. This said, I can't overpass the necessity to raise my hand every time I needed a refill of my cup. This is a no, no. About the cleanliness of the place. 100 points. It was very clean and the bathrooms were too. Like I said, I can't put stars over the food, but I have to say this. The meat had the perfect cook point along the whole cut. (And it was thick! ???????? . Special mentions to the 2 stars of the night: The sushi and the passion fruit ice cream. Well balanced, great presentation, excellent flavors. This is my review for now. I will definitely be going back soon to see if I have to modify based on the regular menu, but I hope not to have to lift my arm once. High quality place MUST take consideration over this ASAP.

Service and food was phenomenal!! The decor and vibe of the restaurant is very chic. I had the LT Bison Burger , full of flavor and very juicy. I ordered it without the bun since serve a huge huge portion of bread while you wait for your food, tastes like a cheesy bread , very yummy and soft. My daughter had the sushi , which was fresh and flavorful. Sangria was delicious , not too strong or sweet.

My family and I had a very good time. Reservation was easy. We came with a child, she was given a set of crayons. What a nice gesture! The place is very nice, modern interior design, airy, calm, full of light. Food was OK, nothing extraordinary. Complimentary pop overs were super tasty. The menu is rather scarce, not a lot of choices. This is the only thing I would change. For kids they provide mac'n'cheese, French fries. The restroom is very nice and clean, smells good. I would definitely return and recommend LT Bar and grill.

I will recommend this place to everyone! The food was absolutely delicious and presentation was immaculate. Every dish was beautiful and well thought out! The special with zucchini flowers, crabmeat and caviar was amazing and one of my favorite meals ever. It's a lovely space and open kitchen to watch the masters work! Decorating each dish perfectly. Definitely don't skip this one. Cannot wait to go back! I came back to add that Andrew was the chef there that night and he was outstanding to watch work!
