***** Press/Reviews *****
From NJMonthly:
Most chefs are made, but some are born that way. Adam Weiss, the chef/owner of F1rst is one of these food whisperers. His menu vaults to the skies from his amuse-bouche on and only builds excitement, like a Shore roller coaster. One taste of Weiss’s ethereal Parisienne gnocchi had me as breathless as Six Flags’ Jersey Devil. Read full review here.
When Adam Weiss was growing up in Franklin Lakes, his family called him “the chicken parm kid.” As a teenager, he perfected his banana cream pie. Today, the 46-year-old chef helms Hawthorne’s superlative bistro, F1rst Restaurant—”my own spin on New American bistro classics,” he says. Read full article here.

Adam Weiss creates the most beautiful and delicious food . Everything is cooked to perfection and his staff is very conscientious about food allergies. Hedy Weiss is the best hostess ever. On a rainy cold night we had a delicious meal 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 —Lisa, NYC, 12/10/24
My wife and I dined here for the first time back in October and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. We went back again last weekend to see if we still loved it as much and we were definitely not disappointed. We both ordered different menu items each time and everything was superb. This place is by far the best place we've eaten in Bergen County. —Stephen, NYC, 12/7/24
