"Came here recently for a date and was pleasantly surprised. The front entrance doesn’t give the inside any justice.The ambiance was modern and sultry. There is a brick oven in the middle however which is a reminder of the fact that Blue Steel is known for being a Pizzeria. There is music playing but not too loud that you have to put bass in your voice.We were on time with our reservation and were greeted with a smile.We started with drinks and ordered the Hi-Tea and I ordered the Sunset Durango. Both drinks were amazing. I wanted something sweet and strong, and the Sunset Durango did just that. I tried his Hi-Tea and it was on the sweeter side, but it was refreshing.Now onto the best part, the food.He ordered the Supreme pizza and I ordered the Spicy Rigatoni. The wait time for the food wasn’t that long, but even if it took long….it was worth the wait!The Rigatoni was amazing. I have no complaints, besides the portion. The portion could’ve been a little more. I really took my time eating it, because I didn’t want to finish it so quickly. I tried the pizza, and I almost fainted. It was delicious. The sauce, the crust, I am writing this wanting to run across the bridge and get this.In all, I highly Blue Steel for a casual date night, family dinner, or even a solo date. The service, food, and drinks were everything!If I’m in the area, I will be back!!!"

"Stamna Greek Taverna is an absolute treasure in the heart of the Brookdale neighborhood of Bloomfield. Also located in several top Greek restaurants in North Jersey, including Lithos in Livingston, Oceanos in Fair Lawn and Varca Restaurant in Ramsey, it makes it especially that the best Greek restaurant is in my own neighborhood! Owner Alex Angela are experienced restaurant owners who also own the Nevada Diner for 30 years. Alex's vision for Stamna is the kind of comfortable, local tavern you are in every Greek neighborhood. The brand of this restaurant is high quality ingredients simply prepared in generous portions at a reasonable price. Your fish is excellent. Grilled or fried, the Tsipoura (Greek porgie) is my go-to entree and the Lavraki (important Greek bronzino). Traditional Patates Fournou (lax roasted potatoes) and Horta are not to be missed. Charcoal-grilled Paidakia (lamb chops) are juicy and delicate. On a personal note, last week I didn't think I had just missed the closing time for the kitchen. Alex randomly came to the restaurant and asked me if I wanted to eat something. Instead of keeping his kitchen staff there at the end, he insisted on preparing something for me personally. I expressed appreciation for the offer, but went back. He insisted that it was not a problem and since I was very hungry, I broke off and accepted his generous offer! He continued to come behind the stove and prepared Tsipoura and Horta for me personally! How refreshing and what a rare treat you want to find a restaurant owner to please a customer. One could imagine such an experience, perhaps in the past or in Greece today, but how rarely in today's often impersonal culture. Alex and Angela are very dedicated to creating this kind of neighborhood tavern experience in Stamna and really glare their efforts. Stamna is a restaurant experience not to miss!"

"Our women's luncheon gathering convened at the restaurant around 1 p.m., where we were fortunate to have Shane as our attentive server. Our culinary adventure began with a delightful choice – the soup of the day, a delectable creamy chicken creation. Alongside it, we indulged in some must-try dishes like brussels sprouts, bacon-wrapped dates, patty melts, crispy fries, and a refreshing Greek salad topped with perfectly cooked salmon. One noteworthy aspect of our visit was the timing; opting for the 1 p.m. reservation turned out to be a wise choice. The restaurant's acoustics presented a minor challenge, but it led to an interesting conversation within our group. Seated beside an architect and a commercial interior contractor, we discovered potential solutions to enhance the dining experience. They enlightened us about acoustic panels that could be strategically placed over our tables, not only serving a practical purpose but also featuring designs that could beautify the space. These panels, available in various thicknesses, offered the promise of improved sound quality, allowing us to converse comfortably without straining our voices. Furthermore, they mentioned the availability of soundproof light fixtures as an alternative for those hesitant to make modifications to the ceiling above individual tables. In the end, our dining experience was not only delicious but also enlightening, thanks to the informative conversation sparked by the restaurant's acoustics. Vegetarian options: Great salad options of course with choice of protein Parking: Nice parking lot behind building and at night if parking lot is packed you can park across the street at the Post Office or at the bank."
