“Just had came here for a solo date night , had a margarita and Long Island iced tea with calamari as a appetizer highly recommend coming here for food“

“Zupko’s Tavern is a great local spot with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The food is always tasty—especially their wings and burgers—and the portions are generous. The drinks are well-priced, and the bartenders know how to make you feel right at home. It’s the perfect place to catch a game, grab a meal with friends, or just relax after a long day. Definitely one of my go-to taverns in the area! 🍻“

“This was the first time we had just an average experience. I was taking a friend out to celebrate her birthday because we always love the excellent service and food. Yesterday things worked out in the end (through a manager) but several negative things occurred. For one thing, the filet mignon/lobster tail combination was not cooked properly. One order was for “medium” and it was totally rare. Had to get manager because server was busy bartending and waitressing. The manager took the meat back and had it recooked. Also, the lobster tail was extremely tiny. We have had this dish before, and the tail was always small but not tiny small. Ok, so now I am eating by myself while my friend is waiting for her dinner. BTW! It came out very rare again. The manager offered my friend a soup or salad so she could eat something while waiting. The Caesar salad was chosen. The croutons were stale. A new piece of meat was cooked up...finally to perfection. Took three tries! The birthday desserts were delicious and the chicken pesto appetizer was perfect. We do not think the service was up to par since we have always had such friendly servers. Another waitress came out to us because we felt like she was avoiding us. As I said, it worked out because the meals were taken care of, but i hope we do not experience this again. Seasons 52 has been one of my favorite restaurant and of course, I will give it another try!“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“I had "Le Magnifique". it was amazing. if you like Poutine (all you Canadians out there) you will love this. this particular dog is actually duck sausage. They have a vast array of dogs to choose from. The Spain inspired Chorizo "Conquistadog" looks like another awesome choice. (I need to try it!) I love the names they all have. Really witty, and all look so tasty.“

“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend“

“Extensive menu that should satisfy anyone's palate. Easy to discern vegetarian and vegan options, and various choices for proteins, including fish and meat for non-vegetarians . Good happy hour pricing as well. Staff is fantastic. Full bar - only improvement would be a wider beer selection, and some on tap - there's only cans and bottles - but that's a minor issue. Love this place!“

“Love this place, food is amazing ! Atmosphere is fantastic ! Staff is first class ! They Rock !“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“Great staff. Delicious food.“

“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!“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“My family and I have been frequenting Savory Selections Catering's Fish fry since we moved to Scotch Plains. It is one of our favorite dinner places. Felton Jones always has fresh food and a friendly greeting. Everyone should check it out! Tonight!“

“My sisters and I dined at The Grain House recently. The food was delicious, crafted with expertise and creativity. Hats off to Chef John!“

“My wife and I had Sunday brunch. I had the bulgogi skirt steak with kimchi. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium/medium rare and delicious! The kimichi was good, and the spicy cucumbers were excellent. My fried egg was cooked exactly to order. My wife had the portobello sandwich which she really enjoyed. We got the Bloody flight and all four were really tasty and very interesting. It was a busy afternoon, but our service was still fantastic, and our food was out promptly. I highly recommend Project PUB!“

“The food and drinks and atmosphere was great especially drinking the sazerac cocktail it was good“

“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 🤣“

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍“

“I recommend the Orgreen bowl and miso soup. A perfect lunch in cold weather.“

“Excellent service and the food is AMAZING! We live going there for the Oysters“

“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!“

“I love this place.... they are very friendly & the food is delicious.“

“It seemed like the restaurant was closed but my friends and I was able to order some drinks at the bar, then we moved to a table for dinner. Our server Dominic was very attentive and helpful. Chicken tasted a little too dry, but all the other food we ordered was amazing; especially brisket! It was so tender and tasty. Two of the desserts we ordered with a cup of cappuccino were phenomenal. We were so full after finishing the bbq combo plate, but sure did finish both of the desserts ? I'm glad this place is open for the public. Will definitely comeback ??‍♀️“

“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“

“I came here with my husband. Drinks were great. He ordered a Caesar salad and I ordered their Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich. My husband laughed because I had no idea that Nashville hot meant HOLY HOT lol. But I was not disappointed. This was the juicy, best chicken sandwich I'd had anywhere that I can recall in my 32 years.. And I worked in food service for 13 years. The service was also phenomenal. There was a rowdy bunch of younger ones at the bar that eventually got asked to leave. But she kindly let us know that we were welcome to move our table if we so desired. We are definitely coming back again.“

“A group of us went for dinner on a Saturday night. The place was empty. Before we even had a chance to order, the owner came over and asked us who we were planning to vote for. Really?? He began talking politics. We were polite but he truly put a damper on our night out. I don't care what party you support, pushing your politics on customers you don't know is offensive and bad business! Reading other reviews on Google, I see he's done this to others. We won't be returning and will spread the word to avoid going there.“
