Food was way better than expected. In town for a day and came across this place and was greeted with a smile and positive environment. Food took a hair longer than expected to come out but is well worth the extra few minutes for the fresh hot well prepared car. Highly suggest tavern 61 burger and any flatbread. The burger was by far the best one I’ve ever had and flatbreads were just great. Thank you for this great experience.
We stopped in for happy hour and really enjoyed this place. Although we usually don't care much for pub food, everything we ordered was good. We were pleasantly surprised by how friendly the staff were. We also had a great time at their pre St. Patrick’s Day event complete with a live band.
It turned out to be the perfect Valentines Spot! Thank you for this experience , it was wonderful. The place is kind of fancy but at the same time not too crazy. The ambience is nice and the music is great (they played EDM). The wine was tasty and not too pricey. The server was great (colombian guy); very polite and attentive. The food was great and the prices even better. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THAT FLATBREAD FOR $14😍, absolutely insane flavor . Loved everything about this place. 5 ⭐️ s all around for me.
I had the Beet Salad with Arugula, Candied Pecans, and creamy cheese. 🧀 OUTSTANDING. The Salmon 🍣 was cooked exactly the way I like it : Crisp on the Outside, Succulent Inside 👌🏻😋😻
Food, drinks and service all excellent. I will definitely be back! Looking forward to trying some of their other menu items. I got the perfect pear martini- highly recommend. We also ordered the buratta, fish and chips and shrimp scampi. Everything was delicious and the staff was very attentive. The Irish cream cheesecake was a great finish to a great meal.
A bit loud, but here’s everything else that was amazing. 1) The food was delicious. The price matched the quality. 2) The staff throughout were super friendly and kind. 3) It was wheelchair accessible and people there spoke Spanish which helped a lot. Give it a try!
We recently moved to Hackensack and decided to give Traven 61 a try, and we're so glad we did! From our very first visit, the entire staff made us feel welcome. The owner is incredibly friendly and genuinely cares about the customers. A special shoutout to the amazing bartenders—Daniela, Karen, and Rosemary. They are always welcoming, attentive, and make every visit enjoyable. Their great service keeps us coming back! The food is absolutely amazing, with everything we've tried being fresh and delicious . The waiters are great!! Traven 61 has quickly become one of our favorite local spots. If you're looking for great food, excellent drinks, and outstanding hospitality, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! Thank you!
I hosted my engagement party at Tavern 61, and I truly could not have picked a better place. The food was absolutely delicious—every single dish was a hit with our guests. The owner was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating to all of our needs, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It has the perfect balance of elegance and romance, with a modern touch, while still giving you that classic Italian restaurant feel. The photos and décor add so much warmth and tradition without feeling outdated. It created the perfect atmosphere for such a special celebration. I’m so grateful for how everything turned out. I highly recommend Tavern 61 for any special event—or even just a great meal. Truly an amazing experience
Great atmosphere and great food. The cocktails here are really good too. Charred salmon and Chorizo Tacos were so delicious. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. There’s a bar area here to watch sports too.
I visited this restaurant for the first time on a Friday and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is calm and lovely, and the service was 100/10—the servers were very friendly and helpful. Next time, I'll sit at the bar.
