Nice French brasserie in Bergen county.
Escargot generous. Butter overflowing.
Bread and butter nice.
Onion soup not so salty but not as much crust cheese tops.
Quiche very nice.
Creme brulee relatively less eventful. Coffee less wow factor.
Puffy dessert with tiny apple cubes and a scoop of vanilla icecream recommended by server was really good.
China pretty with blue lining.
Interior charming. Nice long bar with high ceiling as well as saloon tables round bench and square standalones.

For those of you that have missed the transformation of French food ……. shame on you. While butter is still instrumental, this amazing restaurant focuses on olive oil and acid, as opposed to heavy creams. Flavor is key. I could eat here everyday! Without question the best and REAL Nicoise Salad on this side of the pond!! Bravo Thomas!

3 stars- I really wanted to love this restaurant after reading about Chef Thomas Ciszak. He was a chef at several restaurants I have dined at in the past. Brassiere Memere is located in Closter NJ which with NYC traffic for me is almost 90 minutes away. I was meeting a few friends that live in New City NY and we narrowed our choices down to Brasserie Memere and Hudson House in Nyak which I had an amazing experience in the past. We got there just before 8pm and they close at 10pm. If you read any of my 400 reviews on Yelp you would be hard pressed to see me give a restaurant less than 4 stars, and many are 5.
The restaurant is located in a large strip mall which was a little unexpected. We were greeted by the hostess who had a great personality, was warm and gave us the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. It’s July 4th weekend so the restaurant was slow. It is a large space, comfortable seating and a nice bar. They have a pretty extensive menu of appetizer, entrees, soups and more.
I observed several of the servers helping other tables and though everything was going to be great. Our waiter explained the specials and we ordered a pitcher of Sangria and 5 appetizers. They were the Salade Betterrave- Beet salad, Tuna Tartare, the Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cake, the Tarte Memere- Tomato confit, basil, mozzarella, parmesan. and the Baked Camembert-fig&hazelnut jam, baguette. We enjoyed all of the appetizers, although the pitcher of Summer Sangria was heavily watered down or had too much ice in it. It was overpriced at $58 and unacceptable to be served that way at any price.
We ordered our entrees about 40 minutes into the meal and had the Saumon- Scottish Salmon, the Steak Frites, the Filet Migeon, and the Miso based Sea Bass. Our entrees came out about 15 minutes later which was fine and everything tasted good.
After this point is where everything feel apart. Our waiter Gabriel was polite, although was not very personable. The rest of the experience was either a lack of training our he may not like the job. He did not come over at any time during the meal to refill our water glasses. Also remember it was a hot day. He never came back to ask how everything was or if we cared for anything else.
After about 30 minutes we thought he disappeared. We found him sweeping the restaurant floors and I think mopping them as well. We had to ask to order coffee, tea and desert. About 30 minutes after that we had to ask for the check. The bill was $400 and we felt that the experience should have been so much better, even if we spent half of what we did.
My friends live about 30 minutes away and wanted to come back for brunch today and just could not bring themselves to every go back based on their first impression. The one saving grace was our hostess who as we were leaving, thanked us for coming, handed us two small bags which contained 3 croissants which was a nice parting gesture. We felt so bad because she was so nice and wished she was our server.
This morning I called the restaurant to speak with their manager as I thought they should know how my experience was. I told her about all the positive points as most of the time if a customer has a poor experience they do not tell anyone and just do not ever come back. I felt that the owners put so much time and effort into their business that they should be aware. In my opinion Gabriel either needs some training on the basics or this just may not be a suitable job for him. The manager was very nice, expressed concern and said she would be retraining him. She says she hoped they have the opportunity to service us in the future, although did not invite us back or offer to do anything to make up for the poor experience we had.
I would say that based on my experience alone I could not recommend Brassiere Memere. You only have one chance to make a great first impression. There are a lot of comparable restaurants that “do it right” every time or when they are made aware of a poor experience do everything in their power to bring that customer back so they become a loyal fan.

My buddy from undergraduate school introduced me to this restaurant a few years back, and I’ve been a patron ever since. The atmosphere is beautiful and serves as a restaurant and event space for special occasions. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and personable. The menu items are always a hit. I really enjoy the Sunday brunch, but I also stop by during the week after work for their daily specials! My favorite items are the crab cake, escargot, and mussels with nice white wine. This place is my best kept secretly nicely tucked away, but I do recommend!

Brunching with my sister at Brasserie felt like we accidentally wandered into Paris—minus the jet lag. Our waiter, Francisco, was on point from the start, kicking things off with a Bellini and sangria that were basically sunshine in a glass.
Then came the crab cake. Oh, that crab cake. Packed with juicy lump crab meat and served with a sauce so good, we considered licking the plate (no shame). Every bite was a little seafood miracle.
The escargot arrived swimming in garlic and butter—aka the perfect excuse to dunk every piece of bread in sight. And the Tarte Parisienne? A sweet-and-savory dream topped with foie gras and truffle oil. Fancy, fabulous, and totally decadent.
We wrapped it all up with the Pot de Crème, a silky dessert that made us feel like we were starring in our own French rom-com.
Final verdict: zero regrets, full stomachs, and a mini vacation for our taste buds can’t wait to come back for dinner.

The food and atmosphere was incredible. Our server Chris was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and made our experience. I highly recommend this place for authentic French food and great service.

The food itself was good overall, with some dishes standing out more than others, but the experience didn’t fully come together. A few plates were enjoyable, while others felt just okay, especially given the expectations and pricing.
The space is pleasant and comfortable, but service and pacing were a bit inconsistent, which took away from the meal.

This was our second time here.
We had come during winter time and the place was packed.
So we decided to come back but this time we were seated outdoors due to the really good weather.
We were craving some French food.
And we didn’t go wrong lol.
The backyard was so nice and peaceful.
We ordered the escargots, the pomes frittes, the salade poire et fromage and as a main plate the crispy chicken. We wanted to share.
All plates were tasty and very clean. We paired our food with a glass of sancere.
The service was exceptional.
We will be coming back soon when in the area.
