  We dined at Faubourg to celebrate an anniversary. They've done a beautiful job with the decor, and the meal and service was fantastic. However, I cannot say the same for the music selection. The choice to play heavy rock at a volume level that made it hard to hear a conversation was incongruous with my expectation of an elegant night out. It was the regretful focus of our evening.

  I telephoned the restaurant on February 2 to make a for Valentine’s Day’s February 14. I asked are you taking reservations for Valentine’s Day the man who answered said yes. He then asked if I had ever been there before I told him no this would be my first time . He proceeded to ask me where I would like to sit. I explained this would be my first time to the restaurant so you tell me where is a good place to sit. He said I’ll put you in the garden area it’s very nice with the lights and atmosphere. I said okay that’s fine. He said what time would you be coming I said 5:00 he said I got it. I said is that it he said you are all set. When I arrived at the restaurant my husband and I was asked to step in and I gave the young woman my name and told her I had a 5:00 reservation. She searched her computer and could not find any reservation for me. She asked again for my name and phone number but could not find any reservation. At this point it is getting very busy people are coming in so the gentleman that was assisting the woman asked my husband and I to stand away from the desk. We stepped aside as they continued to assist others who were coming in. We continued to wait. Once there was no one in front of the door I walked over to the man and asked him again about my reservation. At this point the man seemed agitated so he asked me do I have a history with the restaurant. I explained once again this is my first time ever being at the restaurant. He proceeded to ask well did you get a text message, did you get a SMS notification or did you receive an email with a confirmation for your reservation or did you leave a credit card. Because it is Valentine’s Day you needed to use a credit card and if you don’t show up we would have charged your card $95 per person. I stated the person who took my reservation never stated that. He said they didn’t have any open reservations they were booked until 10:00pm. (I thought what is he trying to say) Then he asked one of the hostess to take my husband and I to the lounge area where you don’t need a reservation. The young lady walked us through the restaurant into a room where seating was and to a long staircase and stood at the bottom of the stairs and pointed to a doorway that was at the top of the stairs and said the lounge area is right up there. My husband and I went upstairs to the lounge area it was very dark it had a sectional like seats around the wall and other seating very low with little small tables. We did not stay we went back downstairs and I asked to see the manager.. A young woman came out whose name is Leidy Parra to speak with me. I explained what happened I showed her on my phone when I made the call it had the restaurants name she did apologize however there was nothing she could do. She also suggested the lounge area and I explained to her that was not the appropriate place for dinner with my husband. She said she would find out what happened and get back to me. It has been 2 weeks since this happened and I have not heard back from anyone. I am so disappointed ☹️

  Faubourg Montclair is as fine dining as it gets. From the moment you walk through the door until the second you leave, the staff is incredibly attentive and professional—the service is exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier establishment. The atmosphere is easily one of the most beautiful I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant; it’s fun, vivacious, and feels truly special. As for the food, everything was exceptionally fresh and delicious. I had the Steak Frites, and it was hands-down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. We finished with a variety of desserts that were the perfect end to an otherworldly meal. I already yearn to dine here again. If you're looking for a flawless dining experience in Montclair, this is it.

  We had an absolutely amazing experience at Faubourg from the moment we walked in. The space is stunning — chic, vibrant, and elegant without feeling pretentious. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance for both a romantic date night and a lively dinner with friends. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. From appetizers to dessert, everything felt thoughtfully curated and perfectly executed. Even the cocktails were crafted to perfection. What truly elevated our evening was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming throughout the entire meal. A special thank you to the manager, Adil, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He checked in personally, ensured everything was flawless, and created a warm, hospitable atmosphere that made us feel valued. Experiences like this are rare ,incredible food, beautiful ambiance, and genuine hospitality all in one place. We can’t wait to return!

  Celebrated my friend's birthday. Reserved for early dinner on a Saturday as there was no opening between 6pm-9pm. They accommodated my last minute request to be seated at the greenhouse instead of inside. The maitre'd and hostess were welcoming and bid us "good night" when we departed. The servers were attentive and courteous. The manager came by to say hello. The ambience was cozy. Though it got crowded later in the evening, the noise level was not bad. The food selections were varied. I'd describe it as modern French-inspired American rather than traditional French. We shared the grilled octopus as starter then shared two main entrees - seafood risotto and salmon and artichoke. All were well executed, beautifully plated, and scrumptious. The bread was warm and crusty on the outside; paired so well with the herbed olive oil we requested. We had pistachio creme brulee for dessert. They plated it with "Happy Birthday" and a lit candle. Prices are not too bad for Montclair and NYC metro. Downtown Montclair. Street paid parking. I will definitely come back.
