The Crow's Nest - Hackensack

We came here at the suggestion of neighbors and have wanted to check it out for years. So glad we finally did. We had such a nice time. We started with a dozen clams. Wow. Fresh like they just came out of the water. I know clams as I used to sell hundreds of bags a week to restaurants. These were better. I had the French onion soup because I always try it. Excellent. Great broth, nice toast and perfectly melted cheese. We both had the roast beef platters. It's what they are famous for and got us there. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and what a fabulous gravey with it. Go there for the roast beef and go back again to try more from the old school menu. We will. Prices are reasonable. Selection for every taste.

I want to show my respect and gratitude to the this wonderful restaurant from I believe who is the owner that wanted to show me curtesy to get up to help seat me to the wonderful servers with so much kindness and allowing me to finish my food and drink though I got here late and they are now closing as I speak. But they told me no worries and finish my oysters and drink. This place also reminds me of my grandfather’s place from the nice smell of this very charm duo and characteristic restaurant. You will not be disappointed and will enjoy your time. Even watching others whom are older than me enjoy each others company at other’s tables that put a big smile on my face bc the old ways are not the same as modern days but this place still has that old way of amazing people around you. Please, visit this restaurant and experience the happiness inside my heart as I did.

The food was great. The waitstaff outstanding. Only reason I wouldn't rate this higher because the place needs a really DEEP cleaning. Things were sticky yuck. Especially after what this country has gone through you would think they'd be more careful.

Good service, good food. oyster shucking needs a little work.

The menu is better than it was but it still is missing the veal. I remember decades ago loving the veal dishes that were fantastic the great thing about this place is everything tastes so homemade not like your local pizzeria or your local Italian place it's always fun to see a Ferrari parked in the parking lot. I really suggest this place especially since I had my parents after death reception and they're smaller room it was perfect and a really nice memory. Also the bar is wonderful and the drinks are exceptional.
