We came for our anniversary and were treated wonderfully by Isabelle. Every course was delicious as prepared and presented. We highly recommend this restaurant and will ourselves be returning to try other menu items!

Everything was and always is perfect. The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine so the service is outstanding with happy servers. Will was perfect last night. The food is always excellent which is why the restaurant is booked every night. The noise level is festive and still so comfortable to have a conversation. Finally, it’s very NY. The patrons are from the neighborhood, this is not a tourist spot.

Labrstorio is one of my favorite Montclair restaurants. I miss items they took off the menu ( the trout and the scallops) , And I wish they had more choices. The food never disappoints.

Food was excellent especially the steak was done perfectly. The ambiance was nice and cozy though the whole place was a bit too dark, and we had a group behind us at the bar that was extremely loud. Overall good experience and value for the money. Would come back.
