New American Restaurants near Hanover, NJ

“Food was incredible, server was SO thoughtful and quick, food came out of the kitchen fast and hot. Ordered the 6oz wood-fired filet with mashed potatoes and broccolini, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Their desserts are small and adorable, the perfect amount of food.

Seriously give this place a try! Went for my birthday dinner and will be back SO SOON! They had a little birthday sign on the table, the server brought out a little champagne for a birthday toast (and a flute with ginger ale for me), and the dessert came out on a Happy Birthday plate with a candle. Truly enjoyed that. Thanks, Seasons 52!!“

“First time at Chef Freddy's. Staff was very nice and food looked and tasted great. Our waiter informed us that it was BYOB which we didn't know. There is a liquor store next door so we were able to purchase a bottle of wine quickly. My friend and I were celebrating both of our January birthdays and they gave us each a gift card to be used for future dining. We both said as we left that we would be back.“

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“Great place. Will be sorely missed. Unfortunately, could be beginning of mass exodus from our formerly great nation.“

“We had our daughter in-laws shower here ! They did a fabulous job! The food was outstanding as well as the service ! It was a perfect day ! Beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem during a snowstorm, and what an incredible find it turned out to be! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm hospitality, and despite the weather, the restaurant remained open—showing true dedication to its customers.

Jessie, our bartender, truly elevated the experience. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor made the evening even more enjoyable. The DJ set the perfect vibe, spinning old-school hip-hop that created an intimate yet lively atmosphere, even with a smaller crowd due to the storm. The fact that they stayed open and kept the energy high speaks volumes about their consistency and appreciation for their guests. A special touch was when they went out of their way to sing happy birthday to my boyfriend—such a thoughtful and memorable gesture!

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! The octopus appetizer was cooked to perfection, and the olives that accompanied it were hands down the best I’ve ever had. For my entrée, I had the harper steak, and I can confidently say it was one of the most flavorful steaks I’ve had in years. Every bite was a 10/10, and the pricing was more than reasonable for the quality of the meal.

I’m not from the area, but this experience left such an impression that I’ve already shared it on social media, and I’ll definitely be returning. A huge thank you to the team for making this such a memorable night—I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“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 place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“Our waitress Anna was awesome ! When eating with a 3 year old for breakfast it's a little more challenging on the wait staff , but Anna had it all under control ! Great food greater service a little pricey for the breakfast buffet $40 per head but you get what you pay for ! Excellent experience , the entire hotel was awesome for our family of 7 trip !“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Great restaurant bar and art!“

“Delivered on time and assisted with the set up. VERY generous portion sizes. We had BBQ chicken, chili, pulled pork, brisket as our protein. Sides of mac and cheese, coleslaw and pasta salad. The feed back from the community was excellent. Will recommend to order from American BBQ again in the future.“

“A Taste of Ireland 😋 does NOT disappoint!“

“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.“

“Passed this place a bunch of times. So I was hungry. So I said let’s give it a try. Well was amazing. Staff from moment walked in very friendly. Warm welcome. Started off with the Fire Roasted Wings (10) flame-broiled all-natural chicken wings marinated in fresh herbs & spices + lemon & herb dipping sauce Dough-Roni Pie Olli Salumeria pepperoni + tomato sauce + ricotta + fresh mozzarella + red onions Lemon Ricotta Ravioli Hand-made Ravioli + summer squash + fresh mint + pistachios + lemon zest + parmesan cheese Got off track sorry. Has seating at bar and has outside patio. (Was just a little to hot out there today) Very clean and definitely swinging by again. It’s right across street from Fairfield airport. Can’t forget the wine cooler before seated. There had to be 25+ wines to choose from.“

“Dope every time I go amazing food.“

“I was hostessing there. The 3 owners work really hard to accommodate the customers, the tents really were a blessing to so many of them especially when it rained. . Lots of people enjoyed just being able to come out and see others and share a meal with each other. Everyone loved the food Especially now that Giuseppe has joined as the main cook. His meals can’t compare to none other as that’s what all the customers told me the other day“

“Amazing meal ~ every time! Seasonal menu built to *wow* your pallet and a kitchen staff that is magical. All fresh and sourced locally. The grilled pineapple burrata app is heavenly!The PEI muscles are the freshest I’ve had. Salmon Club is huge portion! The polenta fries are sooo unique. BYOB (&) they’ve started to offer local wines. Tried the Coffee Cab Franc ~ perfect complement to the meal. Toasted Coconut Latte & Strawberry Tres Leches to end the meal (again deliciously unique). Sooooo, sooooo good!“

“Great hotel. Great service and atmosphere“

“I go to the ebar for coffee and a salad maybe twice a week. The employees are fast, friendly and super sweet. I would like to leave a compliment for them to the manager. Which, come to think of it, I have never seen. Hopefully he or she sees this message.“

“Always 5 stars. Steaks were superb. Outstanding, professional service.“

“Initially, I was a bit worried after seeing its Google review score, but this restaurant is totally underrated. The food here deserves a much higher rating. I’m from Qingdao, and it’s truly rare to find such authentic hometown cuisine here. Their “lu bao” (crispy stuffed buns), dumplings, and steamed buns are all delicious, and the seafood dishes are prepared in a very authentic style. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, changing our plates multiple times so we always had clean plates for the new dishes.“
