Raymond's has Opened in Ridgewood

It's taken a little while, but the wait is over. Highly anticipated, Raymond's opened to the Ridgewood public Monday morning, co-owner Joanne Ricci told Patch.

For now, Raymond's will only be offering breakfast, brunch and lunch services. Dinner service is expected to start up after the holidays.

Famous for its French toast, Ridgewood is the brunch heavyweight's second location, the first opening in Montclair nearly 25 years ago. The village location's menu is largely modeled after the Montclair offerings.

"Thanks to everyone for all of the well wishes," the restaurant wrote on its Facebook page Monday. "We are truly blessed and grateful."

Raymond's is located at 101 East Ridgewood Avenue. You can call them up at 201-445-5125.
