Outstanding, as always. Chef Dorian’s CRAB CAKES reign supreme. Outdone only by hospitality from Junior, Jacquie and Sara……….and Kevin’s #1, insane Martini. The best of Bergen County!! This team ROCKS!!!!!

Raw oysters, beef carpaccio & tuna tartar to start all fantastic. Butternut squash risotto was perfect seasonal dish. Service is excellent al around and the acoustic guitarist/singer made for a perfect vibe. For cocktails, fume verde and humidor are spot on.

We absolutely love going here for dinner and we celebrated our wedding anniversary here recently. I think it's kind of quietly the best restaurant in Northern New Jersey. I feel that some other restaurants are a bit more "visible" but overall, they don't really compare to F1RST. The food preparation and presentation are first rate. The service is top notch, without being "too much". A meal here is a wonderful experience and we never leave disappointed. For a special occasion, a date or just a night out, this is the place to go. Lastly, I think you'll find one of the most reasonable values for what you get here at F1rst. You truly won't be sorry if decide to dine here.

Had a wonderful time at Stern $ Bow and would highly recommend it. The food was delicious, our server Danielle, was attentive and made sure we had everything we ordered and needed. We ordered the calamari, hanger steak, the lobster bucatini special and affogato dessert. All amazing. It was the little extras from the tasty warm bread to meeting the owner Russel Stern that made our time even more memorable.
