Great food! Great atmosphere and an excellent service from our Server Alisbeth. I have a shrimp Mofongo with extra chicharrón. My husband order Mar & Tierra (Lobster Tail, Churrasco and Pork Rinds Mofongo) and off course the Tres Leches Cake was to die for.

Bonfire continues to be the choice of all Hispanics in Paterson New Jersey. Highly recommended. The food, service, atmosphere and events are great and you'll always have a good time going there for decent prices.

I've been to Bonfire a couple of times. I am celebrating my birthday during the pandemic to our first Mothers Day together with my mom after the pandemic to my daughters bday. We always have a good time. This time I went Bonfire for a private party. It was beautifully decorated, the food amazing as always and the staff kudos as they hustled and worked hard. They do have a second location in FL if you're from down south.

This place has the high end dining look. There are two options of dining: one being served with a menu and the other was a buffet. The food was amazing and the drinks were both amazing. I highly recommend it for those looking for a great dining experience with flavorful food. When we got the check, the gratuity was included. That threw me off because it was my wife and I who dined there. Also on the receipt was an additional line for an extra added gratuity. Just a heads up.. Other than that, enjoy the experience.

I went for a birthday during the Sunday Brunch and every time is better than the last! Laura was a very attentive server who made sure our cups were always full. She made sure we had everything we needed and that we took full advantage of the 2 hours we had for brunch. Thanks for everything and we’ll be back soon.

Food was amazing. Service was excellent. We had an amazing server name Asterik who was very attentive. I had a private dinner. The communication was excellent and my vision for the birthday dinner was executed at a reasonable price. 10/10 highly recommend
