Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Hackensack

It was our first time there. We were in the area trying to buy a sectional for my wife. We have been separated since the end of December and I never, in 5 years of marriage, took my wife to a restaurant of this caliber. Although it was pricier than I’m used to it was worth treating my wife to your fine establishment. The food was above expectations and the service was superb. I felt like it brought the best out of me. So, thank you for the wonderful experience. God bless!

We recently celebrated Taylor’s birthday at The Capital Grille in Paramus, and the experience was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and ensured the evening was special. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, setting the perfect tone for our celebration. Our meal began with the Pan-Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers, a delightful starter that was both flavorful and perfectly cooked. For the main course, we indulged in the dry-aged steaks, which were cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths. The Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese side dish was rich and creamy, complementing our entrees wonderfully. To accompany our meal, we selected a bottle from their extensive wine list, which features over 350 selections. The sommelier’s recommendation was spot-on, enhancing the flavors of our dishes. The service was impeccable throughout the evening. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and ensured that Taylor’s birthday was memorable, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to mark the occasion. Overall, The Capital Grille in Paramus exceeded our expectations, providing a dining experience that was both luxurious and inviting. We look forward to returning for future celebrations.

Excellent service. Our waiter was very cordial. Food was cooked to our specifications. Desserts were out of this world. Will recommend to our friends

We had a phenomenal Omakase experience as we always do when we dine at this neighborhood gem! The owner always striving to procure only the best quality ingredients that's seasonally available and the chefs masterfully crafting each & every course. That's why we keep on going back at Sushi Kai for the best Omakase experience!!

Oceano's is always outstanding!! We brought friends who had never been there before, and they loved it! The food is very well-prepared and delicious! The service was outstanding, being very attentive but not at all intrusive. The ambiance is elegant and quiet, so that we had no problem talking in a normal speaking volume. If I were to make any negative comment at all, it would be that one of our diners, who has an allergy to onions and peppers, had a very difficult time finding something to eat, since there were no accommodations for that issue, and almost all of their side dishes had onions in them. They could not make any side dish from scratch, so she only was able to have vegetables. They could not make the risotto, rice, potatoes - nothing without onions, which I found rather strange. Most restaurants are more than willing to accommodate changes for allergy issues. Also, no one liked the Ekmek dessert, but the Vesuvius was delicious! Otherwise, it was fantastic! Bear in mind that it is pricey, but worth it. It was over $100 per person with no alcohol.
