I was there for the first time yesterday for the Easter Buffet. We all know you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And the word that comes to mind is Wow! A beautiful view of the lake and the food was second to none. Every single dish was delicious. So glad we decided to not cook and enjoy going out for this year. All the servers were so pleasant and helpful if u needed anything. Throw in the nearly perfect day and it was just one great experience. Thanks to your staff for giving up their Easter Sunday to make ours such a wonderful day. I plan to be back for dinner in the future.
Beautiful scenic overview of the lake, awesome food and wait staff! Highly recommend.

We have been coming to the Windlass for years so when our son requested that it be the venue for the rehearsal dinner for his recent wedding, we were happy to comply. It did not disappoint! Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. We were excited to show our out of state guests how beautiful NJ really is. Thank you to Donna and everyone involved.
