Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Fort Lee

An old friend and I have lunch every Wednesday at French Roast. We are always delighted. The food is always excellent - tasty, well prepared and attractively presented. The staff is always ready with a cheerful greeting and is helpful kind and professional. The high quality of the food is always excellent and often surprising - for example. the chef prepares Ratatouille which is equal to or exceeds any Ratatouille (which has always been a favorite of mine) that I have ever had at restaurants in France. I cannot say enough good things about the hostess Marieleno and Darwin who is usually our server. Marieleno greets us cheerfully and is quick to offer assistance to my friend who is 91 years old and uses a walker. She is quick to make certain to hold both doors for him and to help with folding and placing his walker in a very convenient place. And as we prepare to leave, she assists him again in every possible way. All of this while she continues to greet and assist arriving and departing guests. Darwin is always cheerful, friendly and helpful. We look forward to seeing Darwin every week. Although he is very busy and under pressure during the very busy lunchtime, he remains cheerful, helpful and takes whatever time is necessary to discuss the menu and specials with us and make suggestions. Darwin is a key to our all around positive experience at French Roast. We love French Roast - the food the staff, especially Marieleno and Darwin and even though we had lunch only several hours ago today, we are looking forward to next Wednesday.

Superb food, professional service. Very comfortable setting.

This is my favorite restaurant experience ever especially after working hours the food was good n I would definitely recommend this place for others to enjoy

We enjoyed our delicious and calming brunch at Chele's during a Harlem tour. The pancakes came with fresh berries, and they have a variety of coffee options. Our waitress was attentive and kind.

I enjoyed the service, the atmosphere and the happy hour prices. I will definitely be returning again.
