50 Best American Restaurants near East Amwell

“I had my boyfriend’s surprise birthday party here and it was fantastic! The food and staff were both impressive!“

“What I find amazing about this place is that they consider themselves a restaurant…they should cal themselves an overpriced laxative depository. Before you order be sure you live nearby. The price is so high but the food runs right through you. Not to mention the staff are rude and unwelcoming.“

“Quite simply The Blue Bottle has the best cuisine of any restaurant in the area that I live. And there are quite a few good ones. The only problem I have with them most often is getting a reservation on the weekend. I also have a problem managing culinary heat [a physical rather than a gastronomic one] and I wish I could tolerate more of it in some of their creations. I really recommend the place.“

“It's hard to believe this hidden gem has been right in our midst this whole time but we are ever so grateful to have experienced de Floret this week. So intimate, so thoughtfully detailed, every dish a perfect combination of flavors masterfully prepared and presented. BYOB.“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“The atmosphere is calm & charming Absolutely delicious food A pleasant surprise“

“Anton's at the Swan never disappoints. Love that you can get the bar menu and dinner menu wherever you eat. My 5 dining companions were anxious to try the scrumptious dinner menu while I can never pass up the potato and red onion pizza. We were all happy campers. Two of the six of us never usually finish their entrees but they devoured every morsel of the halibut. The duck was perfectly prepared as was the hangar steak, were all anxious to return.“

“Great, relaxed lunch with DELICIOUS sandwiches/home-made bread...and let's talk about the desserts! What a great spot.“

“Ryan was absolutely positively phenomenal“

“My husband is a minister who has performed a few weddings here. Such a lovely place with staff that is beyond awesome. Everything about this place is perfection! One Love Weddings by Dave“

“Had a great lunch there yesterday with the kids. Everyone was so friendly and they were so accommodating to my seven year old with autism. Their kindness will not be forgotten and we’ll be returning not just for the good food but for the warm welcome.“

“Very nice anniversary evening at the inn. We had not been there in many years. There have been a few different owners in the recent past but it still feels familiar. Different but familiar which I think is great. My friend is running the place now and seems to have put together a great team and some very nice dishes. Just last week we were texting about the inn and the menu and I mentioned the famous tomato bisque that the inn used to serve. Well not even 10 days later it’s back in the menu, which I think will be a welcome surprise to the local crowd. We are looking forward to returning.“

“Excellent seasoning options! The vendor booth at Bellevue Rocks had a great sale and free samples so you could make sure you really liked each flavor before buying. Loved that the ingredients are clearly listed on each packet (real crab in the crab dip for those of us with shellfish allergies). Versatile flavors and makes great dips! Little pricey $30 for 7 packets but I felt it was worth it!“

“I don't want to bash a business especially since my feedback is specific to me being a vegetarian but last night's dinner was a disappointment (the only time I've been disappointed at Bowman's). We typically grab lunch or dinner a few times a year at Bowman's. We stopped for dinner last night and it seemed like there were less vegetarian options than the last time I was there. I ordered a veggie burger substitution for the $20 burger and was charged $24. It seems silly to charge an extra 20% considering the most expensive part of a burger is the actual beef burger. I'll check the menu every so often if there's any new vegetarian entrees but in the meantime, it's going to be a while before we go back to Bowman's which is a bummer because we've always liked it. Go elsewhere if there's a vegetarian in your group.“

“Met some friends for lunch here yesterday. The owner/staff was so friendly. The food was fantastic (great coffee too). I brought a piece of the flourless chocolate cake home, and it was to die for!!! 🙂“

“The Inn is fantastic and we highly recommend. If something isn't right, they will go out of their way to fix it for you.“

“I don't often write reviews, but when something actually performs beyond expectation, I can't help but share. My wife and I went to Stella for our 29th anniversary and had a WONDERFUL time. We had such a good meal from the appetizer to the main course, and finally the amazing dessert. And the drinks!!! Outstanding. Our bartender, Logan, was a ton of fun as well. We are so happy to have had the chance to spend and evening at Stella. We can't wait to go back. FIVE STARS for sure!“

“I had the shrimp Caesar salad, expecting a regular salad… as I began eating my eyes lit up along with my taste buds. I told my son, “this is the best Caesar salad I’ve had in my life.”
I mean it. WOW. A little bit different, a whole lot better than a typical Caesar. (By the way, I went back and learned he makes the salad dressing too).“

“Great atmosphere. Great staff. Bartender Kristen is amazing.“

“Ordered take out from this place and since it was in between meals I went with the loaded fries and they were delicious! Going back today for the full lunch with my family.“

“One of our favorite restaurants of all time!“

“I can get food and beer here.“

“Great Food. Great Staff. Highly recommended“

“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“

“This place is awesome and you really have to go there to see their Christmas decorations. It’s like Buddy The Elf showed up one day. Only thing missing is a Lego model of the diner inside the diner itself.“

“My wife and I have been coming here at least once a week for years. Usually for breakfast (nobody makes a better, more stuffed omelet), but also for wings, burgers, chicken, pasta and more. And we cannot forget about the staff...friendly, attentive and fast service. Skip the chain restaurants and give Orlando's a try!“

“The food is traditional Longhorn fare, though I will say there has been some improvement in recent years and prior cooking staff seemed to be rather heavy handed on the salt and they’ve corrected. Rustic cozy western vibe and traditional fare is accompanied by a solid assortment of appetizers to choose from. The steaks are reliable if not a bit plain, but consistency is key here. The staff service can be hit or miss depending on the training of those on hand on the given day, but they are generally attentive and do a good job.“

“beautiful place to play. Course is in great condition and it gets a lot of play. hopefully they do night golf this year.“

“Had a late lunch and tried out Ottoburger. Had a wonderful sandwich called the schnitzel, with a breaded chicken breast, avocado, Romain lettuce and other vegetable topping with a side of red cabbage coleslaw and fresh veggies like squash, green and red peppers and carrots. Delicious!“

“Awesome soups and service!“

“Really nice local brunch spot. The food was delicious and they feature local artists inside for their artwork. The coffee was really good, the breakfast tacos were delicious and the sandwich was yummy! The staff was also very friendly. The cookies were alright. The matcha latte was good, not overly sweet.“

“Amazing tacos and empañadas! Avocado and mushrooms were such a great combo! Excellent Key Lime pie too! �“

“Such a stunning restaurant! We had dinner at Oldestone this evening and everything was wonderful. Really great service and amazing steaks. If you want something show stopping, try the Grande Plateau or Porterhouse Board. Both were fantastic.“

“Great food! Super cute environment and nice to sit right on the river.“

“I can get food and beer here.“

“Beautiful Riverside View And The Most Amazing Food“

“Only been here one time. Got a turkey sandwich which was very good. The side of potato salad was not very good. It had the most hard hitting vinegar taste I've ever experienced. This might have been just a one time deal so I'm still giving 5 stars. The side came with the sandwich so it wasn't that big of a deal“

“Great food! Super cute environment and nice to sit right on the river.“

“The bartender at lunch service on 7/29/24 in Flemington, NJ was outstanding! What a descent and kind individual.“

“Went there with the family (10 people), the food was good, service was correct (the waitress was nice and got pretty much everything right), could have checked up on us more often (probably short-staffed). Nothing special about the atmosphere.
I would go back there.“

“My nine-year-old accompanied me for lunch, and as my nine-year-old is a foodie, experience was fantastic. If your child is not a foodie, they probably would not be excited by the menu. I did not see any chicken fingers anywhere. 😉“

“We had a group of 9 adults and 2 kids and they were very accommodating The food was delicious and our waitress was awesome!! I would highly recommend eating here!!! We all lovey it!!! Thank you!“

“Went for the show, loved the food! place was full for a show, waitress was personable and attentive entire night. Food runners were great. Apps were big enough for sharing, I would recommend the civiche and the guacamole!“

“Stopped for dinner tonight it was the first time there. The food was delicious from the appetizer, main entree to the dessert. The chef and staff were very friendly.“
