“Food & drinks were terrific. The mushroom flatbread & stuffed mushrooms were excellent starters. Our entrees, Chilean sea bass, were also fabulous. Our server, Jayson, did a fantastic job, making us feel very welcome and appreciated. We have visited this restaurant many times and have always had an enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back.“

“We were here last week while attending the Chill Out Expo. At first we were just getting drinks at the bar but then we all got hungry and decided to try out the food. Despite being completely slammed with so many people who were attending the expo, the service was quick and courteous. The Guinness cheeseburger was one of the best burgers I've ever had! My husband also had a burger and the kids got 12 oz strip steaks cooked and seasoned to perfection. After I left I ordered up some Colman's mustard that they have on the table. That stuff is great! I only wish this place was in closer proximity to where I live because the food is amazing and I would love to try it all. Also we loved reading the historic plaques telling us about the history of the pub. It was a wonderful experience!“

“the best in everything, bar food and atmosphere“

“Great experience, good music , good vibes ! Eddie the bartender was amazing. Can’t wait til it’s warmer to go back“

“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.“

“The breakfast menu provided a wide variety of selections. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend Hapgoods!“

“We made a reservation for 14 people here to celebrate our engagement with family and the experience was incredible!

I reached out to the restaurant in advance to make the reservation and the staff was incredibly helpful answering questions and making sure that the reservation was correct. I then was able to follow up and pre-order appetizers for our group and the staff at Agricola made great recommendations that everyone loved.

Our dining experience was incredible and with amazing service from Marco everyone was thoroughly impressed! The food and drinks were phenomenal which added to the experience!

Additionally Agricola made the night very special writing a card for my Fiancée and I and presenting us with a congratulatory dessert!! I would highly recommend Agricola to anyone and especially for special occasions or celebrations!!“

“Great restaurant bar and art!“

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“excellent food and customer service always“

“Delicious cakes and other items ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Esquisita deliciosa y buen servicio Selos recomiendo“

“Celebrated my moms birthday at Tabor Tavern today. The food was amazing & the atmosphere is gorgeous in the fall, but what was spectacular was our server Dianne. There were 7 of us in our party including a 3 year old and she anticipated our needs every step of the meal. We would recommend going here for a date night, family dinner, celebration, holiday party etc.“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

“Food as always amazing twice in 1 week I am a fan“

“I never ever ever ever feel obliged to review restaurants. There are hundreds of reviews that speak and echo anything I would say about the delicious meal I enjoyed. But what is compelling me to post this was truly the regarding the service I received here. It brought me to tears!!! Patricio and Dylan were the most considerate, kind, attentive and understanding waiters I have ever met in my entire life. After dining in the tri-state area my whole life, exploring cities like Chicago and LA through food, I’ve been conditioned and numb to lackluster waitstaff and typically take the approach of trying just to avoid them spitting in my food, but Patricio and Dylan completely floored me in their attention to detail, knowledge, and service that showed me exactly what good waiters could be. Living with GI issues and intolerances, I consistently feel like an inconvenience at restaurants and that the entire responsibility of making sure I don’t fall ill after dining is based on how I modify the menu and pick around my plate. EXCEPT here at Rails with Patricio and Dylan, I had the first care-free dining experience in my life, their thoughtfulness allowed me to be truly present with my family, enjoy the wonderful food being served, and just live in the moment, which is so important to me. Dylan was explicit in the detail of every dish and always helped me navigate what was coming around and being served. Now, back to the tears, when I subtly mentioned in passing to Patricio that I couldn’t eat dairy and couldn’t partake in the birthday cake, he brought me a delicious sorbet flight, unprompted, just so that I could feel a part of the festivities. I can’t wait to go back to Rails to see my friends again. - Emily R. Sartori“

“Washington House Restaurant is one of my favorites; the service is top-notch, and the menu has something special for everyone.“

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

“Brandon was one of the best bartenders we've had . He was courteous and very attentive to our needs , and gave of great service. I give him five stars !“

“Cold nights call for comfort food! Harlee’s was a great spot to pick before seeing a show at nearby Papermill Playhouse (about 15-20 minutes from the theater).

Harlee’s has an amazing cocktail menu, and plenty of beer on tap which is great while you’re watching a game at the bar.

Their signature appetizers are a must have. The roasted brussel sprouts are caramelized and crispy and loaded with bacon. I loved their crispy chicken wings with sweet chili sauce, which hit the perfect sweet heat combo. The French onion soup was perfection, probably my favorite of the night, with rich savory broth that truly warmed up my cold January night. The ahi tuna bites were fresh, light, and zesty. And not something you see often at a gastropub!

When I saw disco fries on the menu, you know this Jersey girl had to get some and let me tell you, they were everything I hoped for and more.

We got the pioneer burger and the big bleu burger. They were charred beautifully yet still so juicy and tender. The onion rings they came with were delicious and crispy!

The waffles with ice cream ended dinner on a sweet note, with ice cream from Zita’s topped perfectly on the fluffy golden waffles.

This place has great food, great energy, the kindest staff, and the cutest pictures of dogs on the wall to top it all off.

If you’re visiting new Providence, Harlee’s is a must stop!!“

“Great bonding with fam while enjoying our bubble tea!“

“My husband and I went for my birthday lunch. The food was excellant and so were the drinks! We could not have asked for a more polite and accommodating waiter“

“Prospect Tavern is definitely the place to host your next event. Celebrated my grandsons one year birthday there. The food was endless so delicious and beautifully presented. Easily accommodated thirty people. The owner Carol could not do enough for us. The staff was amazing. When I am in town this is definitely my go to place.“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“My son and I had a nice meal this evening after a tough lax loss. Good was very good. Nice to be back in Morristown. Thanks you for providing a nice experience. Our server was excellent!“

“Dope every time I go amazing food.“

“Many, many years ago, the foot long hot dog was the best to be found. The brand of weiner that's used now and longer than the bun tastes terrible. My visit to Nanny's while in the area was for the hot dog; so disappointed.
The service was good, and the owner was very nice.“

“I would like to start the review with saying that our server Tony/Antonio was THE BEST. He is a gentleman and a scholar and amazing person and is great at what he does. I went to with my fiancé, sister and brother-in-law to Montville Diner before going pumpkin picking on a Sunday. The food was great! We'll all had breakfast, my sister and I both ordered the western omelet and added cheese (American and Mozzarella), bro-in-law had eggs benedict and my fiancé had a plain scrambled and home fries. Cozy Diner with normal diner pricing, solid food, and even better service. Will be coming back and would highly recommend to check out.“

“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“

“Always fresh coffee and good food. Check out: NYCRhythm.com. Advertise on Internet Radio. Karpathos will hear your commercials too.“

“Great Sunday Buffet. Tons of food choices plus a Bloody Mary, mimosa or screwdriver. At a great price?“

“Great hotel. Great service and atmosphere“

“My family enjoys this establishment“

“Outstanding food, amazingly friendly staff and service. A true gem in Morristown.“

“I held a celebration of life in the private dining room. In addition to the food being plentiful and delicious the wait staff were all excellent. I would recommend the Cloverleaf for any special occasion function as well as regular dining. They provided the best venue possible“

“NOTHING... The service was horrible and the wait time incredibly long. Then on top of all that they AUTOMATICALLY added a 20% gratuity to our bill and when the bill came there was a space to add a gratuity... so if you don't look at your bill and just add the gratuity you got RIPPED OFF“

“Over the past 10 years, North Jersey closed West Caldwell, Bloomfield, and Morris Plains location within the past 10 years. I live in Verona and still willing to drive 30 minutes for a Reese’s Pieces sundae. SO THANKFUL the Morristown Friendly’s is still thriving. I’d be inconsolable if this shop ever closed! Butter crunch ice cream is my addiction.“
