“Another GREAT meal at Thirsty’s!! Our dinners were absolutely delicious . Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Barbara for the wonderful service!! Jill“

“We visited Willie McBride’s on a Saturday afternoon because of their gluten free menu items. There are several GF items, and they have a dedicated fryer. My daughter enjoyed the GF chicken fingers and steak fries. I had the fish and chips, and my wife had pulled pork sliders. The food was very good. We will definitely return soon to try other items on their Irish pub menu.“

“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.“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“We went there with friends celebrating our wedding anniversarys. The server and staff were excellent. It was a little bit noisy at first but as the crowd diminished it was delightful evening.We arrived at 7:30 and left at 9:45. At no time did we feel rushed to leave.The portions were generous and my wife and friends wife both took food home for the next day.“

“Best sandwich I have ever had! I highly suggest the Grilled Chicken with Fresh Mozz and Roasted Peppers. Cute and cozy place with friendly staff and great prices. I will definity be back!“

“This is a cherished restaurant for us on special occasions. This time was good but not as spectacular as in the past - no one pulled out my chair for me, the menu is a little less robust and I wish they would offer some gluten free bread. (Yes I know the kitchen will cross contaminate and they cannot guarantee the food is GF) That said Luis was a great server, the food was delicious and the wine list is a work of art. (So is the wine cellar)“

“I have been going here for many years. They never disappoint. I am so pleased that they offer breadless option and gluten free breads and wraps for most, if not all, of their sandwiches. Great portions. So many choices. Love this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A Magical Evening at Ninety Acres Last night, I had a truly wonderful dinner at Ninety Acres celebrating my 20th anniversary with my wife. We started with a refreshing glass of sparkling wine at the bar, where the service was exceptionally kind and welcoming—setting the tone for the evening. Once seated, we were lucky to have Oscar as our waiter. His service was outstanding: warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He walked us through the menu with care, making each dish sound even more enticing. Every course was a delight—from the appetizer to the main course, wine pairing, and dessert. The flavors were rich and beautifully balanced, making for an unforgettable culinary experience. The ambiance was equally impressive. The interior was cozy and elegant, while the outdoor setting offered a magical farm-style atmosphere that added a unique charm to the night. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special dining experience with impeccable service and a serene environment.“

“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.“

“We haven't been to Redstone in a while and just after arriving started wondering why. This is a well run restaurant with a professional staff, great food and a really nice bar area. We were immediately greeted and seated within the moment. Our requested table was waiting for us and our Server within a minute arrived with menus. We were also delighted to see the many changes/upgrades to the menu. From start to finish was an extremely enjoyable experience. Great job; lots of fun; great service!“

“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’ve dj’ed here countless times and also played plenty of golf there. I love the staff and venue. Chris and his crew really know how to run a great event nice and smooth. I Highly recommend it and the food is also great! Can’t go wrong with choosing Roycebrook.“

“The service is always friendly. The food is tasty and plentiful. Jo (the supervisor) and her team are always attentive to the customers. Jo is very communicative and pleasant, she makes us feel at home. This is a place to come back to again and again. My husband and I loved it.“

“My stay at Delta Hotels by Marriott Basking Ridge was delightful, but the true gem was their restaurant! Forget overpriced hotel dining - this spot offered delicious, affordable dishes that surpassed any outside option. From the serene atmosphere (thanks to the smaller crowd) to the attentive service and delicious food, every aspect impressed. The hot buffet breakfast was a lifesaver - delicious, varied, and budget-friendly. Skip the tourist traps and treat yourself to this hidden gem. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“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.“

“Great service, classy, food is always fresh and delicious..drinks are great 💯 recommend.“

“Haven’t been in a while but glad we came back. Huge portions and everything was delicious! Staff was very friendly and it’s a very welcoming atmosphere. And if you like onion rings, this is the place to get them! We will definitely return when we’re in the area!“

“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend“

“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.“
