Baumgart's is a two-location business with it's original restaurant in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Visit either one for a delicious meal.
The restaurant is a casual place with a diner like feel. No need to dress up to come here for lunch or dinner. There is a small counter with stools and several booths as well as a dining room. This place can get crowded and at times (especially weekends), there can be a wait, so come early.
Come here for Chinese food that is freshly prepared, vibrantly seasoned and just plain delicious. Some favorite appetizers include the pan fried dumplings, duck crepe, signature salad (with apples, oranges, salad greens & candied walnuts). Entree selections vary and include offerings of seafood (steamed whole sea bass is my husband's absolute favorite), shellfish, chicken, beef, lo mein and rice dishes. Each entree is served with a choice of brown or white rice.
Baumgart's also has excellent sushi and sashimi--ask for the menu. Special offerings are usually listed on a board by the front door.
Save room for dessert as the restaurant makes its own ice cream, cakes & pies. The ice cream confections include sundaes, a la mode, ice cream sodas. Vanilla, black raspberry, pistachio, strawberry, chocolate are just a few of the flavors. Ask what the special flavor of the week is.
The wait staff is efficient and moves quickly to take and place your order. While there is no liquor license, you are welcome to bring a bottle of wine which they will graciously open and keep cool for you.
My family and friends just love this place!
