“When you think of New Jersey hockey, you should immediately think of the Ice Vault. Lemme tell you why…

Lobby? Clean enough. Bleachers? Clean enough. Bathrooms? You’re at an ice rink. Parking? As long as grandmama doesn’t take up two spots you’ll be fine. Number of surfaces? A lot. Ice quality? Yes there is ice. Likelihood you’ll get yelled at by someone’s mom? Very high.

What takes the cake is the restaurant.

You will be tempted to utter the forbidden phrase “snack bar” when you walk through the doors and up the ramp to the upper lobby between rinks 1 and 2. The hockey gods and the rink owner will immediately correct you and tell you it is a restaurant. You will not mind because you are happy there is heat somewhere in the building.

There you’ll find your typical ice rink favorites… baconeggncheese, porkrolleggncheese, hot dog, hot chocolate, burger, soda, sports drink, whatever.

And then you’ll see the rest of the menu. Which spans the length of the counter which already rivals the lane count of I-80 coming into town.

Multiple varieties of Asian food? Yup. Full course breakfast including fresh pancakes? All day. Fruits and vegetables? Mhm. All the flavors of Red Bull? Indeed.

And then there’s the whiteboard in the middle. That’s where the specials are. Some weekends it’s a specialty panini or soup du jour or something just generally neat and well executed. And then there’s tournament weekends. There was a point in time where you could get a surf and turf dinner featuring sea bass, filet mignon, and two sides for $20. Twenty. Dollars. At an ice rink. Why? Because it’s not a snack bar.

They may also have the best Italian food ever, let alone in North Jersey or at an ice rink, but I’ll let you decide.”

“Omg!!!! If I could give 100 stars, I definitely would give this venue 100 and more. My cousin used this venue for her wedding this past Friday and everything was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing her bridal assistant Iri went above and beyond to make sure my cousin was comfortable and ensured everything she needed was available to her. How could I forget Mark Mark if you are reading this from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for working with my cousin from day one till the day of. I know myself and the rest of the bridal party had you on roller skates, and you did not fuss not one bit you were patient with us you did more than we needed or asked for and everything was a dream come true thank you so much and I can’t wait till my special day”

“We had our wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau this past Saturday, and calling it extraordinary somehow still feels like an understatement. Multiple guests have already told us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to—and we completely agree.

When planning, we seriously debated between the Pleasantdale and several famous New York City venues. Choosing the Pleasantdale was the best decision we’ve ever made—and that is truly not an exaggeration.

What sets the Pleasantdale apart is the combination of outstanding service and extraordinary food. The staff is attentive, warm, and seamlessly professional in a way that makes you feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Every detail was handled with precision and genuine care, allowing us to actually relax and enjoy our day. And the food—absolutely unreal. Guests are still talking about how incredible every course was, from cocktail hour through dessert.

The property itself is stunning, but it’s the experience the Pleasantdale team creates that makes it unforgettable. Our wedding felt elegant, joyful, and effortless—all because of them.

We cannot recommend the Pleasantdale Chateau highly enough. If you are considering it for your wedding or special event, stop looking. This venue is truly in a league of its own.”

“We just had our daughter’s party here and everything was wonderful! It is a beautiful venue with beautiful ballroom. The food was great, the service was exceptional, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. We truly had an amazing time and our guests did as well. Highly recommend for any special event!”

“Macaluso’s was the absolute perfect place to celebrate my 60th birthday. From start to finish, the service was unbelievable. Carlos and Alex were incredibly attentive to every detail I asked for and made sure everything ran seamlessly. The food was amazing and plentiful. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Everyone was beyond pleased, and the owners could not have been more accommodating. It truly was a night to remember, and I’m so grateful to the entire Macaluso’s team.”

“We had my wife's surprise 70th birthday party at the Park West Loft last weekend and it was a fantastic night thanks to Chris and his staff. The food and service was great and Chris was meticulous about planning the event, yet extremely easy to work with. He made sure everything went smoothly, including surprising my wife, which went off with out a hitch. The venue itself is wonderful, with a NYC vibe, and is well designed for a party.
I would recommend Chris, his staff and the Park West Loft without reservation.”

“Sal the owner took care of everything we needed, was flexible, and was very welcoming & pleasant. Communicated with us immediately whenever we reached out. The venue itself was spacious & perfect for our party of 30, and it gave a very nice vibe almost club-like. The staff was friendly, and helped us with whatever we needed and the DJ provided was great as well. Definitely will be referring people here and booking again for future events.”

“We have hosted both of our daughters' birthday parties at Sweet & Sassy, and each one was completely different, a Princess Party for one daughter and a K-Pop Party for the other. I can't say enough wonderful things about our experiences!

From the very beginning, the staff did an amazing job communicating with us, helping us coordinate every detail, and walking us through all of the available options. They made the planning process so easy and stress-free.

One of the things I love most about Sweet & Sassy is how unique their party offerings are. Even though our daughters chose two completely different themes with two different groups of kids, each party felt personalized and perfectly suited to the birthday girl and her guests.

The party hosts were energetic, hands-on, organized, and so kind with the kids. They kept everything running smoothly while making sure every child felt included and had a great time. Both parties truly felt magical, and the memories our girls made will last a lifetime.

If you're looking for a fun, unique, and well-organized place to host a birthday party or special event, I highly recommend Sweet & Sassy. We would absolutely celebrate there again!”

“Wonder place to have your event . This is my family’s go to spot for events .The Bartenders Chris and Laura were amazing. Very attentive all night and great hospitality.”

“Beautiful wedding hall in Passaic. They have a small parking lot right in front of the hall but it can fill up really quickly. If you don’t get there in time you have to park at the second lot a block down which is about a 2 minute walk.”

“The location was pretty efficient and accessible. The front door staff was more hospitalbe in the morning than the night shift. Tejas was extremely professional and courteous. Keep up the good work.”

Thank you for making my daughter’s day extra special!”

“The Roman Palace is the ideal venue for any event. Not only is the space beautiful (all white so any color scheme will look wonderful), but the service is outstanding. Terry and Arturo go above and beyond to make your event memorable. They take care of every detail to ensure you and your guests truly celebrate what’s important- your special day. I’ve contracted them twice (most recently this month) and they have exceeded my expectations each time. They are also a family owned establishment which gives your experience that personal touch that you don’t find in other venues. Thank you Terry and Arturo for your exceptional service!”

“My husband passed away last year. A friend who had just joined The Ridgewood Woman’s Club encouraged me to go to a RWC lunch/ meeting to see if I might like to join also… which I did.This group of special, intelligent and caring women were so welcoming to me. I then joined and have not regretted it!
The Ridgewood Woman's Club is an exceptional woman’s club with a fabulous President, Pamela Swords , who gives this club her heart and soul!She is truly a gift for this club and its members! Lastly, but most importantly, The Ridgewood Woman’s Club does so many wonderful and charitable things but also leaving time for the members to do some fun activities together also!”

“My son had a great birthday party here last weekend! Our backyard party got rained out and the owners were very accommodating to our last-minute plans. We had a mix of ages from 1.5 to 5 and not one kid was bored. I really liked having the place to ourselves so parents could relax a bit more. Our helper was very enthusiastic and lent a hand whenever we needed it. I kind of wish there was a party FAQ so I didn't have to bother the owner with questions but they were very responsive to everything I asked.”

“Phone on spring lake is a nice play to have a corporate family reunion an outing for a day. They entertain you and keep you busy. Staff is wonderful. The rest areas are clean the pools not too big not too small and variety.”

“Amazing event space that is both cozy and open. It can be transformed into whatever your heart desires. The rental process is easy, Amanda is communicative and helpful throughout. Courtney, our event host/bartender was the BEST! Hospitable, helpful, attentive and made the best drinks. Would recommend and will definitely be using the venue again”

“I had my formal engagement party at The Royal Manor and it was better than I dreamed! Many of our guests called the next day to rave about the food, the ambience, and the overall vibe of the venue. Staff were so kind and attentive, especially the maître d' Mario, who consistently checked in with me to make sure everything was going as expected. The kitchen is also so accommodating - we had several people with food allergies, specifically a very severe gluten allergy, and everyone went above and beyond to make sure the meals were safe.

It was also such a pleasure working with Carmel and Magda to bring this party to life. We met with Carmel first and you could tell she really loves her job. She made us feel so welcome and truly cared about giving us the party we wanted, but not in a pushy way. In fact, The Royal Manor was the first venue we toured and we returned to drop our deposit off just a few hours later. Magda was also so warm and helpful, and you could tell she cared about our wants and needs.

I am definitely keeping The Royal Manor in mind for future events!”

“I went to go see what the dance studio was all about and totally loved it. The music, the dance the people are just fabulous and everybody so friendly. I went by myself and didn’t feel out of place at all. I danced right along with the excellent teacher and had a blast they’re having a New Year’s Eve party and I recommend it for everyone Who needs something to do on New Year’s Eve?”

“A wonderful place to enjoy delicious food without spending too much. The portions are generous, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the prices are very reasonable. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good food, great value, and affordable prices!”
