“Great dinner! Great service,,“

“The staff and service here was absolutely phenomenal. I thought it was a touch pricey, but what is not lately. Definitely a must try spot at least for breakfast so far.
I wanted to make sure as I accidentally clicked credit cards accepted. This is not true, it is a cash only place.“

“Went for a casual meal with relatives. For a Saturday night it was busy as you would expect. But the service was attentive. I had the french onion soup which was perfect. Then I had the steak frites. Well portioned and served to my liking. Demi Sauce gave it a nice extra flavor. Wine selections are abundant. Dessert menu is small, but all are well prepared.
When in the country, stop in for a great meal.“

“Good food and good service“

“Great bartenders and staff. My wife and I always enjoy our visits here. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars only because there is not much in the area to compare it to, but the experience itself is outstanding every time.

Most everything is made in house, and the bartenders are far from average. Connor is fantastic and always helps make the experience memorable. It is not inexpensive, so be prepared, but it is absolutely worth it. One of the best cocktail experiences around.“

“Im as Big a regular as it gets. GREAT staff. Jess, cammy, Tommy, keighley, Sophie, one after the next fantastic. Food is super underrated. One HUGE complaint. It’s always FREEZING at the bar. Many times I leave and im the guy who’s always hot. Many regulars say same. One today said she dresses like winter just to come. SAVE MONEY, set the temp at 70 degrees and stop making me leave. Ty“

“Great food , great service“

“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.“

“What an amazing restaurant hidden away in the delta hotel in basking ridge. Some of the ABSOLUTE best service I’ve ever had, and the food was insanely good. I was here locally for work and I didn’t bother going to any other restaurant, it was that good. Highly recommended give it a shot and you won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We just spent an amazing weekend at Pendry Natirar. Having been to many 5-star resorts in the New York area, I can confidently say that Natirar still managed to completely surprise and delight me!

The absolute highlight of our stay was the phenomenal hospitality. The guest services and housekeeping team went above and beyond to set up a wonderful birthday surprise for my boyfriend, and every single staff member we encountered was incredibly warm.

Our days were beautifully full because the resort offers an abundance of activities. We absolutely loved visiting the farm, seeing the animals, biking, hiking, playing tennis, and enjoying the spa amenities and the gorgeous outdoor pool. The attention to detail was everywhere, right down to the comforting evening turndown service.

I want to give a special shout-out to Ana at the front desk, as well as Michele and Michael from the bell and guest service team. They were exceptionally friendly and amazingly remembered my name throughout our entire two-day stay!

Just as a quick, constructive note from an NYC perspective regarding the dining: we felt the food fell a bit short compared to the stellar service. Ladd's Tavern had a rather limited brunch selection, and while Ninety Acres was slightly better, it was quite loud, crowded, and the service was a bit slow on Saturday night.

That being said, the overall experience still easily earns a perfect 10/10 for us. The exceptional staff truly made our weekend unforgettable, and we will absolutely be back! 😊“

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

“We enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“​Nine Acres Restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience. The food was incredible, and the service was dialed-in perfectly. A special shoutout to Sam, our server, whose knowledge and attentiveness made the night seamless. The Lamb Chop... wow! Definitely recommend this dish! They also went out of their way to mark my Wife's birthday with a candlelit comped dessert, a small gesture that meant a lot.“

“Went on Saturday 11/8/25 Food was great and the service outstanding! Never a bad meal or experience!“

“Pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and outstanding service.“

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

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

“Awesome place. Great staff great food.“

“Hidden gem that we’ve driven past numerous times without even realizing. Today we tried it and WOW. I had the chipotle ranch smash burger and it was out of this world. We also had a French dip which was excellent, as was the chicken rice bowl. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Amazing place, delicious food!“

“I had an issue with my order today because I accidentally received a bacon sauce, and as someone who does not eat pork, I was very worried. The female manager handled the situation with incredible kindness and professionalism. She sincerely apologized, immediately refunded my order, and even prepared me a new burger free of charge. I truly did not expect that level of care and respect. She turned a stressful moment into a great experience. Employees and managers like her are the reason customers come back. Thank you so much for your kindness and outstanding customer service!“

“Fantastic food, fantastic service“

“Great food! Had a delicious Seafood Pot.“

“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 🌼“

“This is the second time I've ever been to Chili's and I was not disappointed. I had the BBQ half slab of ribs, fries, chicken tenders and these jalapeno sausages that were to die for. Wow! No joke, it was really really good. Highly recommend it.
The waiter we had was awesome as well! I totally forgot to take a photo of the food but I'll be back.“

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

“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.“

“We absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and they actually remember what you order — which says a lot. My kids get excited to go, not just for the good food, but because they feel comfortable and welcomed every time. Rosie’s is always a great choice for breakfast or lunch if you want good food, great service, and that cozy hometown vibe.“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“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!!“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“

“The food is really good and they have the best white sangria“

“Wow! Used Stella G’s as my wedding caterer, and was absolutely blown away. The food was AMAZING. We were nervous about how the food would be but my husband and I were shocked by how delicious it was and the guests kept complimenting it was as well. The restaurant is family run and the owners did everything to make sure it was a hit. From initial emails, phone calls, questions, and menu selection they went above and beyond. I can’t stress enough how each bite of food we had was better than the last. They out did themselves on taste, presentation, professionalism, and courtesy. I will only use them in the future and recommend them to anyone who needs an event catered. Thank you for making our night a success!!!“

“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.“
