“Excellent food and outstanding staff. Our server was Jen and she couldn’t have been nicer. My nephew, Max Clayton, is performing in White Christmas at the Papermill. We were a group of 10 from NH looking for a place for dinner before the show. Max raved about the food at the Millburn Standard and recommended we go there. The staff was friendly, very accommodating to our large party (we did call for reservations, but they don’t take them) and the food was excellent (get the nachos!) They were just as nice when we came back after the play just to sit and have drinks. I feel like they went out of their way to accommodate us and we are all most appreciative. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Gorgeous restaurant, diverse menu, and perfect service! You get a hearty serving of olives, olive oil and rosemary fluffy focaccia to start. I got the arancini which had the meltiest cheese inside, the branzino which was so flavorful and the tiramisu which was oh so creamy! I got a red wine but the cocktail menu looked delicious. Would def come back to try everything!“

“My go to Hookah lounge in Staten Island. They make good drinks, tasty hookah, and their food is pretty good. I was surprised. This is a good spot to hang out and conduct a meeting. Met here plenty of times. Music is not too loud during the week. Karaoke nights is fun here. Not too intimidating for shy people. 💯“

“We recently hosted a family dinner at Ralph’s Sports Bar. Ralph and his staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and that we were happy. My family thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. My aunt said the chicken francese was the best that she has had and the wings and burgers were outrageous. We are looking forward to our next event at Ralph’s!“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“A friend’s daughter recommended this place, and I’m so glad she did. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by a very sweet, attentive staff member. The space itself is beautiful, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away. And the drinks are fire!“

“I always love coming here, but Kayla is officially my favorite server! From the moment we were seated, she was so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us throughout our meal without being overbearing, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Great customer service can really make a difference, and Kayla went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be asking for her the next time I come back. Thank you for such amazing service!“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Awesome atmosphere with great food & drinks! Staff was very friendly!“

“Would highly recommend attending a tasting here! As soon as you arrive for your tasting you are given a delicious welcome drink. Our host was Adam and not only was he knowledgeable, he was very friendly, welcomed questions and accommodating to everyone's taste buds. We even purchased two bottles of whiskey. Too bad the distillery is no longer open as a regular bar or else we go there to hang out!“

“The silk city pop up event is the most adorable event with beautiful decorations and fun drinks in the cutest cups. You also get to see the barrels because they are in view so that's interesting as well. The drinks were out of this world. Totally recommend“

“My Third time there in a few weeks. Great Atmosphere and ambiance. Bartender, Jacob.....superb. Greeted us coming in seated us, served us superb drinks. On Point. My New place to go ! Thank you“

“Great place had fun with friends. Good friendy staff an food looks really good. Even though I didn't actually order any myself this first visit. Also 2 for 1 shots all night definitely helped even more. They also have touch tunes jukebox. Recommend to all visit this establishment.“

“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!“

“Came here last month for dinner with my parents and would recommend. Really enjoyed the food, very flavorful and fresh.

I like the owner as well, I think they were short a person that night and he made sure we felt seen and attended to.“

“great place great football menu other food is good as well“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“Good and quick service. Best empanadas we ever had. Based on those, the philly cheese steaks were a let down. More bread than filling, hardly any cheese. Tap beer was flat as a Guinness, and wasn't supposed to be. Holiday mule was good.“

“Caught up with a friend for drinks and dinner...the place is quaint, with a great, lively vibe. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Linda, one of the bartenders. She was absolutely a joy, smiling and chatting while she served us up our drinks, then meticulously prepared the dipping oil for our warm bread. After taking our order, Linda served us two very large portions. I had a pasta dish with rigatoni that was made fresh that day. (The bar is connected to an Italian restaurant, which is a separate business, but they work seamlessly to provide customers in both establishments a terrific dining experience. The live music was fabulous, with a great mix of classic hits performed by very talented musicians. We opted not to get dessert and left with our bellies full and our hearts content. Parking was a little bit of a challenge with it being a Saturday night, but Linda informed us to use the VFW parking lot the next time around. Can't wait to check out Karaoke night on Wednesdays. I was having so much fun that I forgot to take photos.“

“good food 😋 good service *****“

“We often go here and it's consistently good. The service is quick, and the servers are friendly and attentive. Recently they greatly expanded the vegan and vegetarian options, which were welcome additions to the menu. When the weather is nice, there's sidewalk seating and the entire storefront can be opened. Full bar and a decent draft beer selection, and there's a happy hour weekdays from 3-7.“

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for the incredible Gearhart Law event! Everything was truly spectacular—from the exquisite food to the stunning decor. It was clear that no detail was overlooked, and your staff executed everything flawlessly. The bartenders and team went above and beyond, providing outstanding service that made the evening unforgettable. Thank you for such a remarkable experience!“

“First off this is a positive review so I hope management/ownership doesn’t rip me a new one like they do others on reviews
Bartenders and servers need to tell everyone that auto grat is includes!!!!! It’s not right to not as we double tipped many times and never read the receipt until my last visit
The only other thing that I’m complaining about is there are nonstop too many changes! Just like at their other restaurants, things continually change too often and you never can keep up! Inconsistencies
Wednesday wine nights? Done. Why take them away- do wine and a mandatory app? Drink princes are steep for the area-
Menu changes too often….especially brunch
Theme nights come and go -too often
Pizza and pint night- one week it’s on another week it’s off
Why?
It’s nice to plan and know what to expect and when
Food is good! Better than the other venues chef owned-
Staff is…pleasant but scattered and all over the place -
Somethings are just ‘off’-
Nice vibe but - idk
The ricotta dip is spectacular“

“I like this spot , I come by first time in 2014 a d I still coming when I get New Jersey, I really like the food“

“Just had the best experience with ladyfingers! I had a birthday party for my daughter and they provided a two tier cake and a coffee bar. Lauren was very responsive from start to finish. I was able to pick the flavors and filings for each tier off their long list of options. I didn’t have much time to look for a cake design so just sent over a photo of a cake that I quickly googled. They were able to create it, and even better, they added a customized cake topper with my daughter’s name. They also delivered it to the venue which was very important to me since I didn’t want to deal with picking up a big cake from a bakery and making sure it didn’t get ruined during an already busy day. At the party they provided us with a “coffee bar” serving up a variety of flavored hot and iced coffee & chai. The guests loved this! Many drove from far so a coffee option was exactly what the needed upon arrival. The onsite team was great, arrived early to setup, and went above and beyond by lending me a cake stand and having ice delivered for us when we were unable to get any because it happened to be sold out everywhere near by. Overall great experience and would highly recommend them!“

“Great food, great people and staff“

“amazing restaurant wrong neighborhood.“

“I really enjoyed having dinner here. I ordered the burger and it's probably one of the best burgers I've had in a couple years. The staff was very friendly and the drinks are on point. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a dinner date“

“Great Food, Great Service Great Atmosphere. So we were bummed when we saw they closed the original location because how much we loved the place. We were relieved when they announced they were opening up in a much more appropriate and highly upgraded venue. This was perfect timing for us to celebrate our 9 year anniversary here. Upon arriving the inside captures the comfort and style of the Livingston location and then improves upon it with the beautiful outside seating area. Now onto the food which is just as good if not better than the original location im glad to see the quality has remained consistent. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wifes pasta dish was packed with quality flavor. The drink menu was definitely brought to the next level as well everything seemed like it was fine tuned and everything we tried was on point and had its own unique delicious flavor profile. Andy behind the bar was very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to talk to about the different cocktails. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great it wasn't youre traditional kind but we loved the spin they put on it with the cake and ice-cream. Lastly for service Jonathan took amazing care of us and made our special day very memorable along with the rest of the staff. Everyone that came by the table was professional and had a smile on their face. They all seemed happy and took pride in their work which was nice to see. We will definitely be returning in the future. I implore anyone that reads this to visit and support this wonderful place.“

“Loved it! Guacamole with fried plantains was delicious. I had the steak with garlic shrimp, very good. My friends enjoyed their dishes too. Drinks were also great- I had the Cucumber Margarita with Don Julio & it was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Trendy atmosphere and cool murals. Service was wonderful- friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. Will definitely be back.“
