Momento - West Milford

Off the beaten path! We really enjoy coming here and have had a few special occasion dinners here and have always been pleased. The setting is lovely. The most recent visit there seemed to be a language barrier with our waitress but she was super nice just some misunderstanding with drink orders. The bathroom was freezing so they could benefit from a space heater in there- just be prepared if you need to make a stop in there if it's winter!! Food is delicious

All I can say is Wow!! My girlfriend and I came here a bit early and were given the best table followed by a few rounds of the most exquisite lemon drop martinis and cosmos. Food was fantastic we ordered chicken to go. The only negative I would say is that the waiter was a little too fresh with his mouth at the dinner table. A man of his age should really speak with more care and class when servicing a fine dining experience. I'm sure it's something he can work on and why I couldn't give 5 stars.

WEDDING REVIEW (But also a frequent visitor of the restaurant! Jake and I are so overwhelmed with the amount that Leon, Alberto, and Arta. We were definitely nervous knowing that Momento isn't a wedding venue to have our celebration here but being that we have eaten here a dozen or so times, we knew we could trust the food and would customize everything else. Whatever we envisioned, Arta, Leon, and Alberto wanted to accommodate. We wanted long tables, they made that happen. We wanted string lights hung across the dance floor area, they hung them for us. They spent weeks preparing to ensure everything was perfect and continued to re-assure us in the weeks leading up, despite my anxiety. They hung chandeliers to make the tent look classier, they customized a menu for us from start to finish, and they ensured the right amount of staff for our 85 person wedding. Thank you so much Leon for staying overnight the night before to ensure our day was nothing short of perfect.

After hundreds of reviews you would think it becomes easier... lol NOT. It becomes more difficult because you tend to be repetitive and it gets harder to differentiate how to describe the good from the better. Now this is an amazing experience from the moment you park your vehicle. First off it's a hike into the woods to find our venue, but it's a nice drive. Once you get to the restaurant you feel like your driving into an estate with a very nice entrance, but when you pull up and see the arch walkway with the beautiful greenery it becomes a weddingesque feel. Yes not a word but makes sense. The greeting as you walk in changes everything, we were greeted by the owner who was very nice and welcoming. We sat down and began the evening. We started off with stuffed mushrooms and moved on to our entrées. My fiancée had Lobster Ravioli with a Rose Champagne Sauce which was insanely good. I had the Parpadelle Ragu which is made with actual Filet Mignon chopped and served as an amazing Ragu. Of course we had a beautiful bottle of Boen Pinot Noir and our dessert was an incredible Bread Pudding and French Homemade Macaroons. Wow we definitely will be returning and we'll be making this our next Foodie Club experience. Loved it.

I’m always a little leery when trying new places because my other half can be slightly hard to please after years in the restaurant industry. We went to Momento tonight at the recommendation of friends for my fiancé’s birthday…it didn’t disappoint! From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left everything was perfect except the weather outside. Leon was such a gracious host he’s got personality for days and he truly made us feel like family. The entire staff interacted with each other and all of the guests so seamlessly. And then there was the food!!! Everything was spot on and delicious! I couldn’t have asked for a better steak bone in dry aged ribeye cooked to medium rare perfection! My fiancé’s Seafood fra diavolo was incredible…no overcooked seafood in sight. We had such an amazing experience and cannot wait to go back!
