“Great restaurant bar and art!“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“I’ve been coming to Stone House at Stirling Ridge for many years, and it has always been one of my favorite places in the area. The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere are consistently exceptional.
In the spring and summer, the outdoor patio is absolutely beautiful—especially with live music, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect spot for brunch, special events, weddings, or simply a great night out.
I especially love their burger, and it’s impressive that they use their own homegrown vegetables—it truly shows their commitment to quality.
Over the years, I’ve created so many wonderful memories here with family and friends. It’s truly a local gem.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience in the Watchung area.“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“

“We just spent an amazing weekend at Pendry Natirar. Having been to many 5-star resorts in the New York area, I can confidently say that Natirar still managed to completely surprise and delight me!

The absolute highlight of our stay was the phenomenal hospitality. The guest services and housekeeping team went above and beyond to set up a wonderful birthday surprise for my boyfriend, and every single staff member we encountered was incredibly warm.

Our days were beautifully full because the resort offers an abundance of activities. We absolutely loved visiting the farm, seeing the animals, biking, hiking, playing tennis, and enjoying the spa amenities and the gorgeous outdoor pool. The attention to detail was everywhere, right down to the comforting evening turndown service.

I want to give a special shout-out to Ana at the front desk, as well as Michele and Michael from the bell and guest service team. They were exceptionally friendly and amazingly remembered my name throughout our entire two-day stay!

Just as a quick, constructive note from an NYC perspective regarding the dining: we felt the food fell a bit short compared to the stellar service. Ladd's Tavern had a rather limited brunch selection, and while Ninety Acres was slightly better, it was quite loud, crowded, and the service was a bit slow on Saturday night.

That being said, the overall experience still easily earns a perfect 10/10 for us. The exceptional staff truly made our weekend unforgettable, and we will absolutely be back! 😊“

“The food is always consistent! Best pub around!“

“Great bonding with fam while enjoying our bubble tea!“

“My husband and I went for my birthday lunch. The food was excellant and so were the drinks! We could not have asked for a more polite and accommodating waiter“

“Prospect Tavern is definitely the place to host your next event. Celebrated my grandsons one year birthday there. The food was endless so delicious and beautifully presented. Easily accommodated thirty people. The owner Carol could not do enough for us. The staff was amazing. When I am in town this is definitely my go to place.“

“I’ve been to this place since I was a little girl my parents always ordered from here and now I go w my bf when I can I love their California cheese burger w fries never disappoints me ❤️❤️❤️

They are sweet people and always smile and say hi to you I hate all the negativity in the comments but Im going to say this place is the best ever never leave please I’ll always eat from here 🥹“
