Best Bars And Lounges in Paterson

Best burger place we’ve ever been to! We ordered Ibérico Burger (incredible!!!) & cod burger (extremely delicious flaky cod fish) & loaded fries w spicy cilantro mayo sauce is a must have!!!! Franklin our server made this a most memorable experience - kind, friendly, thoughtful, courteous, & fun…definitely going back again and again - there are more things we want to try on their amazing menu!!!!!!!

This was our second time here. It was just as great as the first time. The food and ambiance was great. What made it extra special was our waitress Jade. She was awesome. She was attentive,our water cups were always full and she was very patient in explaining dishes and drinks to us. She even swapped out one drink my wife didn't like at no extra cost or hassle. Jade made our Valentine's dinner that much special. She even took pictures for us.

Loved Oceana and will definitely return, easily the best restaurant near(ish) the theater district. I booked for Valentine's Day based on the menu online, when they called me to confirm a few days before they made a point of letting me know there was a four-course prix fixe for V-Day. Considerate! Although I must say: there were 5-6 choices for each of the courses so it was hardly a skimpy menu. My wife got the wine pairing with her meal and the sommelier was really informative, explaining not just the wine but why he paired it (we love that kind of stuff). Not all the dishes were homeruns, but all were above average. My appetizer of scallop crudo topped with caviar was one of the homeruns, I'd return for that dish; and for the "smores budino" dessert (which was served in big bowl, I expected it in a glass) -- it was a huge portion, very much shareable. My wife's beet salad was very good. The chef seems to really prioritize contrasting textures in all the dishes, which I love. My cocktail was also good (a Penicillin but with tequila instead of whiskey), tasty, not too sweet -- and not too strong. Space is great, high ceilings, not jammed in next to everyone (but close enough that we did eavesdrop on some hilarious conversations). Wait staff was there when you wanted them, absent when you wanted space. Excellent all around.

everything we ordered on the menu surpassed expectations. if you go early enough, window seats are first come first serve. very attentive staff. never had to wait if we needed anything!

I must echo the comments of anyone who calls the alderman a hidden gem. It is truly a little oasis in the hub of Times Square with some of the best food and service I’ve had in a long while.  Everyone we encountered was professional, polite, friendly, relaxed, and service was on point at all times. A special shout out to Hersey at the bar and our server Ethan, who was just tremendous honest and very attentive, to the lovely manager, a young blonde woman whose name I forgot sorry. Had the perfectly prepared salmon and flirt steak entrees from the prix fixe menu plus ALL the other TASTY courses and they were very generous portions, very satisfying and a wonderful value. Cannot recommend this enough if you are going to a show or you just want to have an enjoyable evening dinner lunch or just a coffee from the front barista station. The ambience is warm and tasteful. Like sitting in a garden! Just terrific. You won’t be disappointed.
