“Very attentive and kind staff from the moment we walked in. Food was good but it's not breakfast-ish food, so not exactly difficult to mess up, but it was very tasty either way. Only gripe is that it's cash-only and they only give you bottled water - no free water!

Parking: Free and ample parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible.“

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.“

“Service and Food are always excellent!“

“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)“

“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.“

“Lovely atmosphere. Very good food and great staff.“

“Great experience!! Maca was my server and she was the kindest and sweetest ever! She made sure we were taken care of and that we enjoyed our Applebees experience. The drinks and food were also great. I would definitely recommend this location!“

“I enjoyed some aspects of this restaurant but not others. It was hard to find a parking spot. The atmosphere was very nice and friendly staff. They seem to have a lot of fried food which I personally can’t eat too much of.. and the grilled chicken was thin and dry. The wait time for our meals was long despite not being too busy.“

“Amazing food on a seasonal menu served by a lovely staff. Love their takeout also. Also love their off site bbq events and catering. Our favorite spot in the area.“

“Everything about Polo’s is amazing. The food is amazing the atmosphere is perfect. I know they are only in November but the Thanksgiving Egg Rolls are mouth watering perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for all your hard work.“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“Great food , great service“

“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 enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“I love my job!! Our food is fresh, healthy, and AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 😋 stop by for a wrap, salad, baja and or greek bowl, or create your own entree!!“

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

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night. I requested to dine in one of their rooms. We were escorted to a small room where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Our waitress, Ava, was awesome. We were given a small complementary bottle of Processo which was so nice! We have been there many times before and never had a bad meal. The vintage decor there is fabolous! Highly recommended.“

“Beautiful grounds and building, dining room is lovely and a little lively, not stuffy at all. The service was outstanding and the food very good. The portions are not very large but that was ok as the prices were not outrageous. We found it a bit confusing that my husband was asked by the circulating manager to remove his fedora however, the woman sitting next to us had a winter ski beanie on and was not asked to remove hers, not a deal breaker but certainly annoying as the dress code was not formal and the man sitting with her had on sweat pants and sneakers....? Overall a very nice ding experience and I would probably return.“

“Literally waited an hour and 15 minutes with a waitress who basically totally ignored us just to be told "oh, we ran out of country fried steak". 🤬 Needless to say we left. went to Pub 199 was waited on and served in 20 minutes when it is packed.“

“Was looking for a new local place and pleasantly surprised when we stopped here. Food was fantastic!! Service was excellent. Vinny and his staff were so friendly. Love this little slice of heaven. Highly recommend.“

“small spot but amazing food and vb great staff.“

“Awesome place. Great staff great food.“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“Favorite local bar! The boneless wings are the best!“

“It's always so nice to go in there ...they are all so friendly and the food is really really good. Coffee is great. So many good conversations with the staff they make you feel so welcome. They do care about the food tasting great, it's not just like whatever here you go.“

“This is a great place to meet friends, enjoy the food and drinks ?. The food is freshly cooked and yummy choices. The atmosphere is wonderful with outside dining when the weather permits and inside has a warm, cozy atmosphere. I have introduced this Pub to new neighbors, that are new to Sussex/Warren Counties. They love it as much as I do!!

Kid-friendliness: Went for Father's Day with my adopted grandchildren and their parents ❤️ We di n Ed outside which worked out perfect.“

“The food was good but the waiter was rude and tried to add another beverage that I did not order.“

“I would like to personally thank the Randolph Diner for an amazing banquet for our mothers repast. Their attention to detail and the needs of our family were beautifully met. The food, staff, and location with an elevator were perfect. We can’t thank you enough for all your hospitality. Many thanks, The Betz Family 🌼“

“We love this place:) Great food & friendly staff.“

“Had dinner on 6/2/22. We had a party of 9 all together. Sat in the back room. Both the food and the server were fantastic. Sorry I didn't get her name. Come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Never disappointed!!“

“Always have had great experiences here. Ops are consistently here but I’m separating that from the overall experience. This is not an admission of guilt, but I think one could easily take a cup from here every visit and potentially have over 14 now.“

“Four of us enjoyed this hidden gem in Randolph this evening. All four appetizers and entrees were superb. In both taste and presentation. Great value for the price and the services was superior. I recommend this restaurant highly for all.“

“Had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at Bistro Seven Three in Bernardsville last night! Food was unbelievable and the service was friendly and really attentive! Thanks! We’ll be back!“

“love love this place! Love the staff and love the food! This is a little gem of a place! 5 stars all around!“

“Table 42 is a traditional Italian staple and a true gem in Dover. While we will always miss Chuck, we hope the new owner preserves the incredible ambiance and vibe that keeps the regulars coming back! There's simply no other place like it. A huge part of why we return is Mauricio the Chef, who makes the best pasta fagioli, and the wonderful servers like Joannie. We go for that unique feeling as much as for the fantastic food. Table 42 reminded me of Cheers, I truly hope it doesn’t lose its uniqueness.“

“We travel all over and we go to iHop everywhere. The Kenvil iHop is our favorite one! The staff is the best, always kind, courteous, attentive and helpful. Many iHops don’t display four different syrups on every table. Kenvil is the best iHop out of all the ones we’ve been to. They deserve a round of applause!“
