Delicious every time

Everything was perfect.!

Staff and food were excellent. Plating was beautiful. A little bit of a wait for appetizers but it was Saturday night and worth the wait. Don’t like the credit card charge fee. We enjoyed our evening and we will return! Delicious!

We love the food and understand that we are paying for the presentation and quality. But it is absurd to charge a convenience charge on a bill over $200, it’s ridiculous!
As per the server they prefer cash and he stated that there was a sign on the charge. Honestly, we didn’t see it and if this was the case, why weren’t we advised at time of reservation?
Not sure if this policy is legal but it definitely has turned us off from going again.

amazing meal- I highly recommend the paella, the risotto and the shrimp

Always a Culinary Delight! A sensory indulgence without pretense. Chef Sotomayor is always on his game...everything from initial food ideation to presentation to consistent quality of ingredients to an exceptional taste experience. How does he do it?? Still dreaming and talking about last night's meal! Looking forward to dining there again soon. ps -the vibe is low key, casual and comfortable.

Very attentive service and food was delicious. try the Pork Riblets for you main course... Terrific!

The food was great. I ordered the bronzini and my husband ordered the special, risotto with seafood medley. The green salad was refreshing. However, the desserts are okay...not the best part of the meal. We are satisfied with the service.

Everything was excellent! Service was superb. Highly recommend.

Food was good. Noise was high. It's a small room..they had a large Christmas party...got loud.

Value was just ok

Food and service was amazing as always

Apps were very good however the ribeye special was average. We also dined outside, and so some of our party was cold and some were hot Depending on where the space heaters were located.

Very fresh interesting dishes. Everything was delicious and service was particularly excellent. We will go back.

Really Great

One of the best restaurants for 'foodies' in Bergen county hand down. Been there 3 times and each time i have chosen a different dish that never has failed to go beyond expectation. Wish there was a way to taste everything on the menu in one siting. Guess i'd have to have 14 + people at my table each having a different plate. I've recently eaten at the CIA, Cafe 37 takes first honors. Sorry, but it's true.And yes, best of all, it's a BYO.
hanks guys for always having me leave with a great big smile on my face and a happy tummy. Cant wait to return.

This restaurant is incredibly small and the architectural layhout is a disaster. They could have easily made more floor table space by cutting the women's bathroom in half. e went durinig holiday season and the restaurant was completely booked & packed: an essential Covid Petri Dish because the place is so small,This restaurant used lousy architects or none at all and opened to such a tiny space. The food is not exceptional but ordinary except for a few dishes. The Desert was also a disaster and where it should have been warmed it was taken out of a freezer. Also since they were busy we were rushed to complete our dinners and to leave and therefore this restaurant is not conducive to a long business meeting or a long reconnaissance dinner. Also there is no liquor license and they should tell you this on the website or on Open Table

The food is excellent, though the portions are on the small side. The dishes are innovative and very tasty.
The waitstaff is friendly and polite. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience.

Always fabulous the food never disappoints. Sad that we can not sit outside anymore under the tent. We enjoyed the great outdoor space many times over the last year. Inside the restaurant there was a bit of a heat problem. It would not turn off and with the warm weather last night it was a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise Cafe 37 is always 5 stars.

Amazing food and amazing service, you must go!

Excellent restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ. This was my second time eating here. The first time, we were able to eat outside. Yesterday we ate inside their dining room which was somewhat small. Everything from the appetizers, main course to the desserts were delicious and plated beautifully. Service was impeccable. A terrific find, especially if the weather allows to dine outside. Will definitely be back!

Consistently high quality with a welcoming staff. Cafe 37 continues to be a local favorite.

Food was excellent and the service was very attentive. The beef carpachio and goat cheese ravioli were delicious, as was the shrimp tempura. Scallops and paella were delicious, and the banana foster bread pudding dessert was a special treat. Will definitely come back, and the only setback was the timing. We had plans after dinner and it took 2 hours from start to finish because there was a mix up with our order. It was busy though and they were very accommodating with the error. The price was also high for BYOB, but it was worth it. Happy to have found a new spot to enjoy.

Delicious! Small restaurant perfect for date night. BYOB and there is a wine store across from the restaurant. The truffle risotto, Asian ribs, filet were all out of this world.

Family reunion

I reserved last minute and Cafe 37 was able to accommodate us outside. We got cold outside and they moved us inside. Very attentive and great service. The food was also great

Excellent meal!

Great Evening

The food is always great as is the ambiance. A nice well laid out seating arrangement with great service. We’ve been there about six times and we’re never disappointed!

Great attentive staff - worked hard to keep us comfortable and didn’t rush us.

Absolutely amazing food!
Yes, prices are above average but the service and quality are way above average as well.

Suggestions:
Do not go if you are in a rush,
Do not order dessert,
Do BYOB,
Do dress warmly to sit in a huge outdoor space,
Do enjoy!

Amazing food in a beautiful outdoor (but protected) setting right in downtown Ridgewood -- what could be better??!?

Excellent!

Just wonderful meals. Everyone enjoyed… perfectly prepared… ya gotta try their desserts. Save room!
Thank you Alain…

We dined outdoors as it was not too cold. Lighting was low but the effect was pleasing. The food was excellent and the wait time between courses was reasonable given that the restaurant was busy. A bit on the expensive end of the scale (plus a significant “convenient fee” tacked on) but still a good value given the quality of the food and service.

Everything was perfect, from the food to the service. Will definitely be going back.

Great service, outstanding outdoor area, food was delicious and can’t wait to go back.

Went out with a couple of friends to dinner. From the host who greeted and seated us to the wait staff everyone was friendly and extremely efficient. Wonderful ambiance and we were not rushed at all. The food was incredible, so delicious and beautifully presented. I will definitely be back!

Great food great outdoor all is very good

We could not have had a better dinner, on beautiful night in Ridgewood New Jersey. The wait staff and the owners of Café 37 were just the best!
