    My family and I celebrated Thanksgiving the night before the actual holiday at Sayola and I am so glad we did. It was a wonderful experience. Everything from the Spanish music we enjoyed to the attentiveness of our waitress and fellow staff to the food we ordered was great. For myself and my family it was an experience we shall be repeating, Thank you Sayola for making my holiday so special.

    Nice ambiance, friendly waitstaff and delicious food. Waitress was knowledgeable and happy to provide recommendations. Service was prompt. The restaurant was pretty full as it was a Saturday night but it was easy to carry on a conversation. Will definitely return!

    The restaurant is beautiful and a fun atmosphere. The staff is great. The food was good, but a bit inconsistent. Some items were great and others just okay. We just ordered tapas. I would go again to try the entrees such as paella. Overall, had a really nice time

    Sayola is a gem in the heart of Montclair. Went beyond our expectations. My wife loved the pulpa (Octupus) and said that it was so tender. Our meals were delicious. Not crowded during the week, so it was perfect for us.

    We arrived early and sat at the bar for a drink. First, the bartender was extremely attentive and made a great sangria. We sat down for dinner at our scheduled time. Our server was great. The food was absolutely delicious. I am gluten-free, not celiac, and found the menu very easy to navigate my choices, which there were plenty. I highly recommend this restaurant. All three of us loved our meals.
