“Had lunch and the food was delicious and nice ambiance!“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“Really fun atmosphere and awesome food will deff go back! Great place to take fam and kids. 😌“

“Excellent seasoning options! The vendor booth at Bellevue Rocks had a great sale and free samples so you could make sure you really liked each flavor before buying. Loved that the ingredients are clearly listed on each packet (real crab in the crab dip for those of us with shellfish allergies). Versatile flavors and makes great dips! Little pricey $30 for 7 packets but I felt it was worth it!“

“Been a fan of Riley and Jake’s for Years! This week I made reservations for a group of 15 ladies. Arrival times varied from 5.30-6:30 and departure times varied too.

Thank you to Jake and Riley’s for another wonderful experience!“

We are a huge ice cream cake family- our daughter wanted a cookie dough and cookies and cream ice cream cake for her birthday and Williams and Co. did not disappoint. We will never order one from anywhere else! Their communication, flexibility, and passion for what they do is unmatchable. Thank you so much for making our girl’s celebration that much sweeter!“

“Oakwood Lanes is the BEST! Had a great time at our group event today. Such kind people, and we had so much fun!!!! Great fun, great food, and wonderful people who run the business made it a memorable event. Thank you! 😃“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“

“The bartender at lunch service on 7/29/24 in Flemington, NJ was outstanding! What a descent and kind individual.“

“Diana and The young lady with red hair at the front reception desk did a great job checking us in, seating us and ensuring that everything went smoothly.
Our waitress Beronica was on point with serving us, very cheerful and great attitudeand. As always, the food was delicious! We had a pleasant experience. Great job to the whole team!“

“Food was surprisingly good. I had a chicken Parm sandwich and my wife had a chicken club. We both enjoyed the meal. Service was quick, friendly and accurate. The restaurant was empty, even though the bowling alley was mobbed. The restaurant didn't look or feel at all like a bowling alley, but you could hear the bowling going on.“

“Stage Fright had a blast playing at Mrs. Riley’s! The staff were very welcoming and we loved the vibe. Definitely a place to go & hangout, have some drinks and a bite with your friends & listen to Live Music.“

“Crash delicious, while food from a company that has a great sustainability consciousness“

“We go to The Rail every so often, usually on Tuesdays for T-Bone Tuesday. The steak itself is good, but lately they’ve had a hard time getting the temperature right. We ordered it rare on our last visit and it came out closer to medium.

The mashed potatoes are delicious, and the salads are always fresh. The drinks are good as well. We prefer sitting at the bar, but it’s small, so sometimes we end up at a high-top instead.

Overall, it’s a solid spot with good food, and we just hope the steak temperatures become more consistent.“

“So sad that when my sisters wedding was canceled on BY THE RYLAND INN cause of covid and rescheduled and only had the options of a couple Sundays even though they PAID for a SATURDAY the would NOT switch the price or give her a SATURDAY like they PAID for...shame on you ryland inn awful buisness practice“

“Great dinner! Great service,,“

“Went there with the family (10 people), the food was good, service was correct (the waitress was nice and got pretty much everything right), could have checked up on us more often (probably short-staffed). Nothing special about the atmosphere.
I would go back there.“

“Nasty, rude waitress who doesn't wash her hands after using the restroom. 🤢🤮“
