“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We chose La Colina Mexican Cantina in Warren NJ to celebrate 3 birthdays on 4/5/25. We were a party of 12 & tried a few of the beautifully crafted cocktails that were out of this world and so tasty we had to order more. We began our feast with a couple of platters of Nachos El Gordo that were huge and absolutely delicious and went perfectly with the chosen wines, margaritas, and assorted cocktails our family ordered. The cocktails were of the beautiful quality that we've only seen on TV during cooking shows or restaurant series. The edible flowers and the smoke emitting drinks were amazing. We were served by a wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive waitress. She was able to answer every question and had plenty of patience for our crowd who were amazed by the menu. Especially the "Smart" menus that detail each item at the flip of your finger. What an upscale & impressive touch that is. After we ordered our entrees we enjoyed more cocktails and had some time to talk and enjoy the unbelievable decor that seemed to have an endless amount of thought and class put into the decor of this authentic Cantina. The service was beyond excellent and our meals came out hot and enticing and as pleasing to the eyes as it was to our pallets. This was authentic delicious, beautiful meals that made the party seem like were were enjoying fantastic Cantina style food right in Mexico. I highly recommend the burritos, enchiladas, the Mexican Caesar salad, fajitas and I'm sure that rest of the menu has to be outstanding if everything the 12 of us had was that delicious. Besides the wonderful service, drinks, food and authentic atmosphere, topping the celebration off was when the owner came over to our table , introduced himself and made sure everything was as fabulous as possible. Believe me it was. Then the Head Chef came out and asked if everything up to our expectations to which we all agreed this place out did every single Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. I highly recommend La Colina in Warren NJ and I know you won't be disappointed in the food , atmosphere or the service. We surely will be back !!!!“

“Great restaurant bar and art!“

“Being allergic to gluten makes dining out extremely challenging. I can finally eat a friend chicken sandwich again and it’s an amazing feeling! Not only that, but the gluten free bun and breeding are amazing! Thanks so much for giving a darn about a forgotten part of the population.“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“The food was excellent. The waiters top notch and uncommonly engaging. And David Burke came over to our table and chatted with us for a while. A great evening overall.“

“Unbeatable Service – Quinn Keeps Us Coming Back! This bar lounge has become our favorite spot, and it’s all because of the incredible service!

“Great first time Dining at Captial Craft, experience was amazing, even thanked the chef for the wonderful food.“

“Great hotel. Great service and atmosphere“

“Visited with friends for Dinner and Drinks, and we all had a great time. Cocktail options were limited but they were strong. Most of the Food item was good, but the Chicken was a little bit dry.

Service was a bit relaxed despite the place being not that crowded but the Staff were friendly and polite. Overall, pretty good option for Dinner and Drinks.“

“Had an all around great experience every time we've been there for brunch Sundays“

“My sisters and I dined at The Grain House recently. The food was delicious, crafted with expertise and creativity. Hats off to Chef John!“

“Great place! Really liked the deli and pizza selection. The bar was great with large space.“

“Food was great drinks were great. The service was lackluster unfortunately I don't know if the person was new but we ordered a bottle of wine they brought it to our table open which is not customary. And poured the wine directly into a carafe without us checking the bottle. Service at the end we were handed a bill We were not asked if we wanted dessert or anything of that nature.“

“Sunday funday football brunch is the place to be. Fabulous food. Great selection of draft beer! The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend the Deviled eggs and Pimento bread dip.“

“I love how fast paced this restaurant is but it is so laid back that you can stay here and talk for a few hours“

“As a known and admired brand, Eataly is first judged against itself and then other restaurants. At Eataly in Short Hills, the restaurant compares well, even if the size of the adjacent shopping area is a bit “short” relative to other locations, owing to its relatively smaller size.

The restaurant thankfully has plenty of space and space is what you need keep in your belly for a delectable Italian meal.

I’ve been to Italy many times and so that is my context, along from years of living in New York. That creates a high bar but I’m careful to give restaurants a fair shake.

To wit, I believe that Eataly provides the flavors and feels you want of an Italian restaurant. That is except for the bread, which you have to pay for – – probably the worst part of the experience for me.

I start with the Caesar salad, which is great except that it doesn’t taste like a Caesar salad. I can’t identify the ingredients all that much, but the leaves are soft and there is a dressing that is akin to a ceaser but not quite, and it has a crunch to it because of what seems to be breadcrumbs or something – – you think I’d know!

The pasta is fresh and seems to be al dente every time we visit. We enjoy the truffle pasta, but the truffle looks like tiny dots compared to the completely intact shavings thar ww get in Italy for half the price. Nevertheless, it’s delicious save for the excessive amount of butter. Just not necessary! Yet I’d get it again.

The sage Ravioli is as you would expect it to be and a delight. Also a tad too much butter, but still great.

You’ll want to try the Cannolo — It’s not a cannoli unless there’s more than one as Italian speakers would know. It is hearty and unusually flavored.

The staff is pleasant and attentive.

All in all in comparison to others in the chain, it may not be at the top, but still a delightful experience of Italian fare where you could then walk outside and pick up plenty of things straight from Italy Or is it Eataly?!“
