Tina D: Great cocktails, goddess salad, meatballs and Tribune pizza are favs.
Cameron Wilson: Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza. Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
Matt Opsahl: Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza, which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.

Bart Denny: Lively interior, awesome patio out the back. Very good Italian style crust, very good olive oil available as well. In the trendy Temescal
Ashley Mowrey: Get the gin and tonic and pizza with nettles or chanterelles. Everything is so damn good. Get in when they first open, no need to be picky about when you eat, just get in when you can.
Adelin Cai: Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.

Michael Greenberg: It's all delicious - burgers, pizza. But be sure to save room for the oh-so-comforting soft serve for dessert!
Ludi Chow: Cheese curds, goddess salad, three-cheese pizza with pancetta: all delicious! (They are pretty liberal with salt though.)
Joe 🐘 Lencioni: Bring your dog and enjoy the patio.

Leah W.: The kitchen is closed in the middle of the day to switch from brunch to dinner. Closed Monday's. Great soju cocktail and local craft beer selection! Food is top!!!
bastylefilegirl: They have alcoholic Ginger Beer, try it! And the Lagunitas Brown Sugga when it's on tap. THAT IS ALL
teresa johns: At night you can request a blanket & still sit outside!

American Restaurant · Montclair · 10 tips and reviews
Jenny Hunter: Happy hour 4-6 on weekdays. Fried zucchini sticks are enormous & delicious. Very kid-friendly, too.
CC Holland: Huge menu to cater to almost every taste. Big, semi-private booths are a great location for a business lunch. Skews older -- a great place to take visiting parents, but not so much for a hot date.
clay graham: Simple pub food, mostly montclair 40 to 50 set.
Jay G: We had the cajun popcorn shrimp - tasty, and shrimp creole over red beans and rice - yummy, enough for my wife and I to share! Nice view of the harbor and upscale traditional nautical decor.
Jack Whalen: Don't come without a reservation!
Dolce Diva: Too pricey for the food of an average quality. The view is nice though. Not the best clam chowder soup and swordfish.
Jo Ann Campbell: Great food for a great price ! Great service! Ask for Adrian !
Alan H: Not amazing, but very decent and reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong with curly fries. The pancakes are filling and tasty. I also had the French dip sandwich, which was okay; the bread seemed wrong.
Leilani Wand: No it was not good. I had the California tuna it was dry on the edges and probably not fresh. Made me ill. Hours later I threw up and I am still on the throne as of now. I shall never go back.

Danielle McIntosh: Tortelloni con sugo, tortelloni con panna, pappardelle porcini, and combination pizza are amazing. Try the wine too! The local red and white from Oakland are delicious!
Charlie Penaflor: Cash and check only. Weird. Somebody's cheating on their taxes. Toerelloni con Sugo is great. A small pizza would suffice as appetizers for a party of four. The Bricco Revoira compliments well.
Jeff Wittich: Home made spaghetti is awesome. Cash or check only though.
