“We made a reservation for 14 people here to celebrate our engagement with family and the experience was incredible!

I reached out to the restaurant in advance to make the reservation and the staff was incredibly helpful answering questions and making sure that the reservation was correct. I then was able to follow up and pre-order appetizers for our group and the staff at Agricola made great recommendations that everyone loved.

Our dining experience was incredible and with amazing service from Marco everyone was thoroughly impressed! The food and drinks were phenomenal which added to the experience!

Additionally Agricola made the night very special writing a card for my Fiancée and I and presenting us with a congratulatory dessert!! I would highly recommend Agricola to anyone and especially for special occasions or celebrations!!“

“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.“

“I have been to the Pluckemin Inn many times and it is one of my favorites. This time I had a bit of a disappointment. As soon as we were seated, the waiter began rushing us to place our orders because there was an event going on upstairs. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if an event is going on upstairs and the restaurant's staffing requirements are not my problem. Other than that, the experience was great.“

“Very good food and service. Very good beer also. Highly recommend“

“I was driving by on my way to another restaurant, and DIG caught my eye - I ended up stopping in for dinner (got the avo grain bowl with salmon) and am so glad I did! They have a variety of hot & cold, fresh, made to order options that are light and bursting with flavor. Menu is very well priced and I appreciate the ability to make your own, as well as picked from some of the chef curated options. Also appreciate the cups of water available. I’ll certainly be back & hope they expand to other locations (especially in northern bucks county PA)!“

“Great brunch today. 10 out of 10. Fabulous food and drinks. Special thanks to Gabby and Noah. Will be back soon.“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“Food is Really Good. Nice Place.“

“This place was amazing! We came for dinner and a night of entertainment and we weren't disappointed anyway. Only two bartenders the house was packed and everyone was ordering food. The bartenders running the food and the drinks very very quickly. The glasses were never empty. We will definitely be back here!!“

“It had been a few years since we dined here. The place is still real nice, inside and quite a bit of outdoor seating and a lot of lights. Drinks were good, the croquettes were tasty, my wife wasn't crazy about the 'wedge' salad. It was more like an inch thick steak cut with a nice dressing that was all on one side. We agreed we weren't crazy about the fried onions that covered the salad. A few ok, but there were as many deep fried onions as iceberg lettuce. I wasn't starving so I had the steak tartare which was good, not great. My wife had the prime rib which has a nice table side, cart carving presentation. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't very hot. I thought it was done perfectly, but she would have liked it done a little more. When ordering she was told it came rare and it seemed like that was the rule. Eating the more well-done parts of the nice piece of meat was enough to satisfy her. She can cook the left over any way she wants. Even though we had a late reservation we never felt rushed. The service was friendly. It may not have been perfect, but it was still a nice night out!. .“

“Amazing service been going there for as long as I can remember“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Family owned and they make you feel like family. I was in town and stopped by because it was my dad’s favorite place to eat and do car shows before he passed. Tania and Paul came and talked with me I felt like we were all family. They knew so much about him. Made my day knowing how loved he was. Thank you.“

“The manger Connor was exceptional! Very welcoming, great smile, full of energy, & made the experience one to remember! Checked back @ the table several, yet appropriate times & made sure everything was okay. Me & my wife will be coming back“

“Grilled chicken sandwich with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, and tomato is my GO-TO. So good, at any time. -- I've been a customer since I can remember, always eat great and provided with great service.
Perfect for late night snacks or a stop to recharge before going home from the bar 🤣“

“Fun Place to grab drinks and a quick bite!“

“They make good burgers and fries. If you like fish, they have some varieties here too.“

“I called ahead and the hostesses helped me get my elderly Mom seated with zero wait. That meant a lot. The waiter was very attentive and the menu is second to none. I really appreciated the entire experience.“

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

“We were there today with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 3-9. The staff is always wonderful but they were especially patient and sweet today. We love coming here on the train for lunch!!“

“We came at 6 p.m. ,put our name in and were told we had a 20 min. wait. After 20 min. I went to check and was told then that there were reservations ahead of us that had to be seated. If we had been told this we wouldn't have waited. We found this very rude and unprofessional and we will not be choosing sara janes again.“

“We were seated at the table right away as we had an early reservation of 5:30 pm. Water was served right away, and menus were given out. We ordered wine with our meal, which was served right away. We started with Pork Belly, Scallops, and a Bread Basket. A bread basket costing $16 had six mini rolls. Many fine dining restaurants it is at no charge. Cori, our server, was very friendly, attentive, and took the orders at a leisurely pace, which was good. Our Main dishes were Salmon, Pork Chop, and Red Snapper, which all came with some root vegetables. All dishes, including appetizers, were well prepared and seasoned. Both fish items were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We ended with Decaf Coffee (very strong) and Chocolate Cake. One person in our party had her birthday, and they served her with a Raspberry / Chocolate Cake with a lit Candle, which was a nice gesture. Our desserts were outstanding. The noise level was rather high as the evening progressed, but overall, I highly recommend Ninety Acres Restaurant. Just as a side note-there is a $20 Valet parking on the weekend, Fri-Sun. There is a self-parking available at a short walking distance away from the restaurant.“

“Friendly servers specially Angel,warm greeting up to the manager( Joe). The food taste great and serve fast.Good job👍🏻“

“Went on Saturday July 5 - restaurant was pretty empty. Great service from Jessica. Had the parm encrusted fish and wife had roasted chicken. Food was excellent - fish was a large portion and really prepared very nicely. French Onion Soup very well done, too. First time there - will return.“

“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“

“My son and I had a nice meal this evening after a tough lax loss. Good was very good. Nice to be back in Morristown. Thanks you for providing a nice experience. Our server was excellent!“

“I absolutely cannot give this establishment enough praise. We had a repast for my father there. Another establishment canceled on us at the last minute. Nestor and Louis could not have been more accommodating and helpful, especially given the short notice. They are some of the nicest and most genuine people in town. The food and the service was amazing, and everyone in attendance couldn't stop raving about it. They took a very difficult situation and provided us with a truly amazing experience. If you are looking to host an event or just go out for a great dinner, you will not be disappointed with Chef Freddy's Table. Nestor and Louis will go above and beyond for you.“

“I performed there for my first time tonight and the place was very cool. The patrons were a nice mix, and very responsive to my songs selection. John Lepre LIVE #supportlivemusicvenues“

“The service is great and so was the food. Our server Dania was very polite and checked on us while we ate to make sure that we had all that we needed. This is IHOP is my mother's favorite place to have breakfast at.“

“Over the past 10 years, North Jersey closed West Caldwell, Bloomfield, and Morris Plains location within the past 10 years. I live in Verona and still willing to drive 30 minutes for a Reese’s Pieces sundae. SO THANKFUL the Morristown Friendly’s is still thriving. I’d be inconsolable if this shop ever closed! Butter crunch ice cream is my addiction.“

“It is a spectacular place, the food is delicious, it has a pleasant atmosphere, the attention is very good, they speak Spanish and English, easy to communicate, they offer sodas, natural juices, coffee, without a doubt, a place to visit again“

“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“

“We’ve stayed at many luxury hotels, but this property stands out as something truly special. Tucked away in Somerset, NJ—a place we didn’t even realize was just 40 minutes from our home in North Jersey—this hotel offers a world-class experience without the need for a long trip.

From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone. Every detail was seamlessly handled: valet link provided in advance, immediate concierge and bellhop assistance, no waiting at check-in, and a flawless, impeccably maintained property. They even offered an Escalade shuttle to the restaurant so I wouldn’t have to walk in heels—just one example of how thoughtful and guest-centered everything is.

What makes this place ideal is that you never need to leave the property. Whether it’s a quiet retreat for couples or a family-friendly stay, the balance is perfect. Even with many families around, the atmosphere remained serene, and our adult weekend was never disturbed.

The staff made our stay unforgettable. Aiden welcomed us warmly and kept us entertained while our room was prepared. Michele was gracious with our luggage, and Chris went above and beyond—hauling our suitcase to the pool in the heat when our plans shifted from e-biking (my wife couldn’t quite reach the pedals!) to relaxing by the water. At the pool, Paige kept us refreshed with her bright, cheerful energy, making us feel truly spoiled.

Dining was equally memorable. At 90 Acres, our server Corey elevated dinner with thoughtful touches, including a surprise dessert packaged to-go when she noticed how full we were. In the Tavern, Rudy made us feel like old friends, mixing cocktails with care and conversation that made the night.

Every single staff member made us feel valued and cared for, which is rare even in luxury hotels. This property is more than just beautiful—it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. In fact, it was the first trip where we didn’t take a single photo—we were so present and immersed in the moment that reaching for our phones never even crossed our minds.

For anyone who works a lot and doesn’t have time for a long trip, this is the perfect weekend getaway. We can’t wait to return.“
