“Outstanding chef Zoe who makes a great effort to greet customers at thier table. Zoe has a vibrant and refreshing vision for each
plate she prepares. The preparation of fresh food for our meal was fantastic.
Talk about unique flavors to the palate.
We had a party of seven and everyone had a different entree with appetizers and drinks. Over all Outstanding!!!
I would consider Agricola Morristown restaurant having the best pork chops and salmon in New Jersey.
This is the place to be if you want to meet the upcoming who's who in Morris County, New Jersey.
Can't wait to get back in there before Christmas.
The vibes at the bar, restaurant atmosphere, food and drinks are wonderful.
Atmosphere Grade A.“

“We had a wonderful event today at The Exchange"s banquet facilities. Food was fantastic!! Only thing better then the food was the hostesses. Very attentive, and very helpful. They made the function run tha much smoother amd made my day that much easier. But did I mention the food...my guests have not stopped reaching out to me saying how muched they loved the food. If your looking for a place to have a function 100% would recommend The Exchange in Rockaway.“

“Too bad I live out of state because this is my FAVORITE restaurant in NJ. Wonderful staff and food. Not as noisy as other places because of the decor/layout. The prices seem a little high but when you can't even finish your food - that's a good deal. The menu is phenomenal. If you can't find something to eat here then you are insane.“

“Great restaurant bar and art!“

“Everything lovely! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A big thank you to Catherine and Alex who set up the main dining area for a family reception of 27 people, including children, after my mother's funeral service on Aug. 1st. They closed the main dining area so my apologies to those frequent guests who ate outdoors. The buffet was set up and we had BYOB served by them. The food was excellent and there was an abundance of it. Attention to detail and service was exceptional and they handled it with ease. Thank you again for making this a special gathering!“

“Forgot how nice of a venue Rails is...it is really beautiful! Came here to celebrate 30+ years married and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Had oyster (east and west coast) appetizer and octopus with delicious garbanzo beans in a really tasty sauce!! Then had a NY strip and skirt steak... both cooked perfectly for medium rare. Had a side of creamed spinach which could've been cooked a little more...and very creamy. Next time I think I will get oil and garlic spinach instead..just a preference. Shout out to our waitress, Danielle,...very attentive and gave us a piece of cake on the house to take home and celebrate our anniversary...Also invited us to the speakeasy...but c'mon it's only MONDAY??? Saw.some people enjoying mac and cheese as an appetizer...looked good, but that would have been too much for us!! No starches ordered, but they looked good.“

“We took our 3yo and 7yo boys here for lunch today and everything was fab - super cute decor, oldies playing, a couple of the games for the kids to play while we waited for our food. The guys working (I think maybe the owners?) had such nice energy and could not have been warmer or more welcoming. The boys were excited to play an old-fashioned roulette style game with the owner, and they each got to pick a little prize. I love details like that - when kids feel like they belong somewhere, it’s just a better experience for everyone! And the food! My husband ordered the double Doo Wop burger and I ordered a single Greek burger and both were delicious! We also split disco fries - I thought they were great and better than diner disco fries because they weren’t as salty. Our sons both got a kids grilled cheese which they devoured - our 7yo said the whole experience was “10/10” and that it was the “awesomest place ever!” They are already asking when we can go back with their older sister - and we WILL be back to try the ice cream!“

“What a great and welcoming place Tom & Dor have been getting the formula right coming from decades at Stirling Hotel! Great place, great environment, great food!“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“We have Alexander as our server and he was so pleasant and helpful. The food was served at a reasonable time and great pricing for what we ordered. The lava cake was 10/10. I noticed the restaurant itself is very clean which I truly appreciate. They were also decorated for the holidays which was nice to see!“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“Burger's & Texas Weiner's are good!!“

“We went today for our anniversary the food was really good and prices were fair!! The staff was outstanding very attentive we will be back!!“

“Definitely Lakeside dining at its finest! 🌊✨ From crispy, made-in-house buffalo wings to savory empanadas, the diverse menu is packed with fresh flavors you’ll love. I chose to indulge in the surf & turf skirt steak with garlic butter shrimp, and I ordered a light refreshing salmon, berry, and goat cheese salad. Paired my meal with a fresh OJ, creamy matcha latte with oat milk, vibrant hibiscus Paloma with a Tajín rim. Savor the lakeside vibes at Indian Lake Bistro—where nothing’s frozen, and everything’s delicious!“

“You going to get a consistent meal at the Lantern. I usually will order ahead and pick up through the drive through. Today, we ate in, and can I just say the staff was amazing. Queen DD was so sweet and the gentleman whose name I forgot to ask, but assume is management of some sort, was SO KIND. Absolutely fantastic experience with them today. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness towards us! Yall made my little girl’s day with that itty bitty ice cream cone.“

“My husband and I stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to eat that had an outdoor area( so glad we did) Once there ,we reviewed the menu , I explained to our waiter Cody that I am a pescatarian. He immediately recommended a few dishes that were not on the menu. I decided to go with one of his recommendation, the blackened shrimp tacos. They were delicious!! My husband had the blackened California wrap, which he raved about. Our waiter Cody even took the time to give us a bit of
history of the restaurant. If you are ever in the Denville area looking for a place to eat, do yourself a favor and check this place out! Make sure you ask for Cody to be your waiter!“

“Stopped in for lunch mid trip. Great food and service! Should have picked up the "It's Taylor Freakin` Ham" shirt.“

“THE BEST HANDS DOWN! Wouldn’t be Morristown without!!!“

“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“

“Great place to bring your kids and grandchildren. Prices are ok, staff was "Friendly" service was good. Great for road trippers when they need to grab something to eat. Good ice cream!

Dietary restrictions: I have none so I don't know

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids, very accommodating

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“If you have an expense account, enjoy. Well prepared, and way above average quality and taste. But price is even higher than what you would expect at an airport. Highly recommend the turkey sandwich, but all our entrees were really good.“

“I just discovered this place. Great Chicken.“

“You will love this place!! The food is amazing...started with the mac and cheese balls and prime rib jalapenos omg....delicious. I had the ranchero burger which was cooked to a perfect medium rare...soooo good...my wife said the Salmon was amazing. Abby was our server and she was fantastic!!! Love this place!!!“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“Great hotel. Great service and atmosphere“

“Let me tell you about this place!

I ate here about 3 years ago because I was doing deliveries & wanted to get food nearby & it was solid & fairly priced.

Fast forward 3 years later & I started working at St Clares in Dover & the cafeteria closes on weekends. I remember this place from 3 years ago & wanted a pick up order. I called ahead during my break & at first was told would take 20-30 mins as the lady was working on a big order.

I wanted to cancel since my break is 30 minutes long anyway & the drive to pick up & wait wasn’t worth it. However, the lady insisted to continue ordering & brought the time window down from 30 to 10 minutes so I was like sure.

Lo & behold I came in 10 minutes & not only was my food ready but the big catering order too as well!!

Even though I rushed back eating in the car (to the fault of my own lol) I was so immensely impressed the woman behind the counter put so much effort to making sure I got my food. This is a business that cares about its customers & an incredible story about customer service I will share till the day I die. Kudos from the St Clares hospital team :) !!!“

“I used The American BBQ Company this past weekend for an event I hosted at my home. I chose the American BBQ Package, and it was the perfect choice. Arrival was appx 90 minutes before the event started, which was great. By the time my guests arrived, everything was set up, and ready to go. The food was delicious, the set up of the serving area was easy for guests to access, and everything was kept neat and clean the entire time. The two employees who were there for the event were professional, friendly, and helpful. It was so nice for me to be able to spend time with my guests and not have to worry about cooking and serving. The event coordinator, Steve Felber, was easy to communicate with and was very helpful in making sure any and all questions were answered ahead of time. I would absolutely use The American BBQ Company again in the future!“

“Delighted.... excellent service. I always go with my husband and we have a great time.
From the entrance with Talita, a very kind and gentle girl.
And in general the people who serve us make us feel very very comfortable.
The food is always delicious...
And the cocktails are the best.
I congratulate you, Apple Bee, you have an excellent team.“

“Breakfast was so so delicious! Staff were all amazing, super kind and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“I’ve been going to South Street Creamery for years, and their ice cream has not declined in quality. I love the homemade quality and abundance of flavors. The recent addition of the Red Sea Cafe has brought a refreshing variety to Morristown. The Eritrean dishes are exceptionally fresh and full of flavor—an absolute treat for anyone looking to try something new!“

“This place cranks out the best Taylor ham egg n cheeses. Any negative review you see of this restaurant is false. Seriously, get the TEC w SPK on a roll and you will literally soon after be telling someone else about how delicious it was.“

“My family enjoys this establishment“
