Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Bloomfield, New Jersey

We had the most beautiful dinner at Oceanos last night to celebrate my birthday. Appreciate the parking lot has van accessible parking! We were greeted by upbeat host who sat us thoughtfully. The setting is elegant, with lovely decor annd lighting and low key music. Our waiter Matthew was a professional, funny and highly observant server. We had great cocktails including pear twist and lemon drop both deftly prepared. They served lovely fresh warm bread and olives with cocktails. The Calamari were generous pieces lightly fried with tasty Thai dip and the tuna stack with avocado was fresh and very prettily arrayed, like artwork. Our fish entrees were absolutely scrumptious. The sole was perfectly filleted with yummy lemon potatoes. Swordfish was a very tasty meaty steak carefully prepared. The sea bass was delicate with hint of brine. All was the freshest fish, most beautifully prepared. Timing was unhurried and thoughtful. Matthew must have heard us talking about it being my birthday and brought us a gorgeous birthday dessert, flanked with the most wonderful delicate Greek cookies. This was simply a perfect dinner and we are already planning our next visit. One of the hosts came by the table several times to make sure our dinner was going well. Thank you to owners, manager and all the wonderful team in the kitchen, front and back of the house for a wonderful evening.

Loved our dinner at Elysian Cafe. Food great, it was 2 for 1 entrees so a great deal! Packed so noisy, but food delish! Service was a little lacking but I think that was because they were so busy.

Amanda’s continues to be a great place for celebrations. We were a group of 5 for a weekend birthday lunch, and the food and service were excellent. Fernando and the rest of the staff made sure we were attended to without being intrusive. We also enjoyed the live music - perfect balance in his song selections.

It was our first time here; we were looking for a new Brunch place, and how happy are we to have stumbled upon this treasure!! The Brunch menu was not very large but offered some unique and interesting options. We ordered French toast & pancakes that were delicious!! I had the Greek salad with chicken….and it was extremely tasty!!! Waitress was very attentive and refilled coffee without even asking. We will be back..and will spread the word!!!

Great fun spot with a cool laidback neighborhood vibe. Service was excellent, bar options were great and food was solid. Great spot to hangout with friends.
