20 Best Wine Bars near Hanover

“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!!“

“Great addition to Boonton! Small plates, great wine choices, and the staff is delightful. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Everything was terrific. We celebrated our third wedding anniversary, and they made it very special. A glass of champagne and dessert and Capuchino on the house. We want something that wasn't on the menu, and they made it for us. It couldn't have been better. It's become our upscale place to go for a special dinner.“

“Great place! Really liked the deli and pizza selection. The bar was great with large space.“

“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!!“

“We are in the part of the restaurant called “the library,” which was a small room off to the left. Thankfully it wasn't busy or it could have been a bit tight. But the food was out of this world. Again! Although the creamed spinach seemed to have a funny taste, which was immediately replaced with another side when I said something. Service was good, but drinks were a little slow from the bar. The prix fixe of $55 was an amazing value. We both had the chicken breast and it was fantastic.“

“Service and food were fantastic…we will be back again. Recommend to everyone I know“

“The food is amazing and it never disappoints. Love the atmosphere and coziness of this place.“

“This was our favorite restaurant for years when we lived in NJ. We were in area last week (after 15 years). WOW - the menu, the food, the cocktails, the service and effort put into everything is still FABULOUS! Our dinner on Friday was so good, we ate there again on Saturday night. Thank you Dan and your entire team.“

“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 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“

“Great food and service in a very stylish restaurant…“

“Food was decent and we had great table service from the bartender that was there when we were in for lunch between 11:30 and 1 PM on a Tuesday . The negative is the 4% credit card surcharge. Firstly, I don’t like that surcharge and secondly, I have not seen establishments charge 4% so that seemed excessive.“

“Good beer selection and food specials. Friendly staff.“

“Excellent restaurant serving everything from gourmet Northern Italian cuisine to specialty Pizzas in a elegant, yet casual setting. They also have a fun and lively bar scene and very efficient and friendly service. I would certainly recommend Matta Donna.“

“Don Pepe never disappoints! Their food is absolutely amazing, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and service you receive. I ordered a calamari to go, and the bartender (a super friendly guy) was fantastic. He was incredibly nice and even threw in a huge piece of bread—easily 10 inches long! Definitely enough for leftovers, which was a nice surprise. The little details like this make the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Dinner choices were great, I was only sorry to not order the soft shell crabs which were on special that night! What we did chose was cooked to perfection , the stuffed flounder for me and a pasta dish with scallops & shrimp for my hubby, we thoroughly enjoyed them. It was our 1st dining experience here, and will definitely be back; but we were already familiar with the Seafood Market that they have since we've purchased fresh fish during Lent which was totally great!“

“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!“

“We enjoyed ourselves for Thanksgiving dinner. Fabian our waiter was incredible. The food was good but nothing outstanding. We needed steak knives but none were out or on the table. The stuffing had an odd taste to it. The fall soup was good. Dessert were tasty as well.“
