“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!“

“Chargrilled not fried ! Everything here is fresh & made to order. Our family has.been going here since they opened in the 1980’s. Everything is excellent!“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“

The staff is always welcoming, professional, and accommodating and truly understands the catering business and what it takes to throw an exceptional celebration.

“My family and I recently stayed at Pendry Natirar to celebrate my birthday, and our experience was truly exceptional thanks in large part to Jeminah at the front desk!
Jeminah went above and beyond to make our stay special. She was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. She arranged a beautiful room for us and took the time to ensure that every detail of our stay was perfect. What stood out most was how wonderful she was with our 3 yr old daughter. Her warmth and kindness towards our daughter made a lasting impression on our family.
Not to mention the rest of the staff at the hotel was also super kind and welcoming to us - everyone from the staff opening the front doors, the engineering team when we had a slight glitch in our room, to the staff wandering the lobby there for your needs. Everyone was truly wonderful.
Also we came with our golden retriever, who loved being pet by the staff! Your team even brought up bowls and a dog bed for him - so sweet! Oh and did I mention the food was incredible too?! Just Wow!
Outstanding hospitality is about making guests feel valued and cared for, and Jeminah is a perfect example of that. Because of her exceptional service, my birthday getaway was even more memorable. I hope that Pendry recognizes this individual.
Jeminah, my family and I thank you for making our stay so special. We look forward to returning!!!!!“

“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.“

“those Rhode Island Wild Goose oysters were superb!“

“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 went to Ruby Tuesdays for a quick Friday dinner and was impressed. While the food and atmosphere was great, our server Christopher Roman was top tier! He was very responsive to our request and did everything with a smile. He had a playful yet professional demeanor that made dinner very enjoyable. He was well informed about menu items and... well overall great. Thanks Chris!“
