“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.“

“We had such a great experience celebrating at Agricola. The staff really paid special attention to our special day. Most impressive, our server Milana. Halfway though a dirty martini, Milana brought over a fresh frosted glass to ensure the rest of the drink was chilled and delicious. What a professional and thoughtful move. The whole team was wonderful.“

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“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!“

“Went in for some dinner last week at this location, and Kevin the bartender was really nice! He helped me out with choosing what to eat as he recommended me to get the wonton tacos and I really enjoyed the sauce on them, they were really good! The perfect strawberry margarita he made for me was top tier and if you are looking for someone that is very friendly and very attentive, you should ask if he's around!“

“My daughter had her engagement party here a few weeks ago. Everyone- and I mean everyone - was wonderful and truly a pleasure to work with. From Mike who sat with her to get it all on the calendar and get the ball rolling to all the individuals who were preparing the room when we arrived to start getting all the decorations up and all. Tara supervised all the servers and made sure they were on top of everything - and they were. Shout out to server Madison (sweet girl). And, the food was *absolutely* delicious!
Thank you Mike, Laurie, Cindy and Josephine. All of you made her party a success. You were all a pleasure to deal with and she was very happy with how it all went. She sends you many thanks!
Anyone thinking of hosting a party should definitely consider The Historic Old Bermuda Inn. You'll be happy you did.“

“we've eaten here four or five times now because the food is consistently good, prices reasonable and staff friendly and efficient.“

“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!“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“Awesome. Been here three times. Everything I have had has been amazing!“

“Very good food and service. Very good beer also. Highly recommend“

“Great atmosphere for a delicious steak dinner & crab cakes! # 1 steak dinner. Good music & great service!!!“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“Terrific and nostalgic fare. Got Turkey club for my meal with their delicious French fries. The sandwich was good enough to conquer my hunger and I only ate half. Took home the leftovers. My husband had the classic burger with French fries and it was huge and cooked to perfection. He said it was juicy and full of flavor with all the toppings. We both liked that the French fries came in a metal cup container because it kept the temperature longer which allowed us to eat them warm. I chose the green tea iced tea and thought it was perfectly not too sweet. Hubby got plain iced tea and it was unsweetened and terrific too. Prices are comparable to the area with tip just under $60.“

“It had been a few years since we dined here. The place is still real nice, inside and quite a bit of outdoor seating and a lot of lights. Drinks were good, the croquettes were tasty, my wife wasn't crazy about the 'wedge' salad. It was more like an inch thick steak cut with a nice dressing that was all on one side. We agreed we weren't crazy about the fried onions that covered the salad. A few ok, but there were as many deep fried onions as iceberg lettuce. I wasn't starving so I had the steak tartare which was good, not great. My wife had the prime rib which has a nice table side, cart carving presentation. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't very hot. I thought it was done perfectly, but she would have liked it done a little more. When ordering she was told it came rare and it seemed like that was the rule. Eating the more well-done parts of the nice piece of meat was enough to satisfy her. She can cook the left over any way she wants. Even though we had a late reservation we never felt rushed. The service was friendly. It may not have been perfect, but it was still a nice night out!. .“

“Just had came here for a solo date night , had a margarita and Long Island iced tea with calamari as a appetizer highly recommend coming here for food“

“Many, many years ago, the foot long hot dog was the best to be found. The brand of weiner that's used now and longer than the bun tastes terrible. My visit to Nanny's while in the area was for the hot dog; so disappointed.
The service was good, and the owner was very nice.“

“it was perfect my fiance took me the food was great the atmosphere was perfect the staff was great“

“My adult children andI had a wonderful Father's Day there. The food was tasty and it was fun sharing a pitcher of mimosa. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and allowed us to wile away a rainy afternoon and enjoy each other's company.“

“The service is great and so was the food. Our server Dania was very polite and checked on us while we ate to make sure that we had all that we needed. This is IHOP is my mother's favorite place to have breakfast at.“

“Cover charge on Saturdays $10 for women and $20 for men. Lovely atmosphere and they really know how to put on a good show! I like how it feels like you’re just partying with your friends yet surrounding by everyone else. $20 for parking.

Valentina was a wonderful bartender! She provided really fast service even though it was packed and was really nice!!!“

“Grilled chicken sandwich with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, and tomato is my GO-TO. So good, at any time. -- I've been a customer since I can remember, always eat great and provided with great service.
Perfect for late night snacks or a stop to recharge before going home from the bar 🤣“

“Harley's can be surprisingly good. We have been dining there occasionally for years.

Experience - the experience is good, the atmosphere is nice enough with a nice bar area.

Service - the service is generally very good.

Food - All of the food is very good. They have some nice dishes (cheesesteak, grilled vegetables, burgers). And they have a very nice beer selection.

Overall, the value is good.“

“This was my first time eating from here and the food was fantastic. I would have given this place 5 stars, however they really need to update their menu online. In the picture below I ordered the teriyaki, chicken, and shrimp with rice. They gave me some vegetables on the side which was sautéed very well.“

“Great food and a family driven establishment...“

“This was the first time we had just an average experience. I was taking a friend out to celebrate her birthday because we always love the excellent service and food. Yesterday things worked out in the end (through a manager) but several negative things occurred. For one thing, the filet mignon/lobster tail combination was not cooked properly. One order was for “medium” and it was totally rare. Had to get manager because server was busy bartending and waitressing. The manager took the meat back and had it recooked. Also, the lobster tail was extremely tiny. We have had this dish before, and the tail was always small but not tiny small. Ok, so now I am eating by myself while my friend is waiting for her dinner. BTW! It came out very rare again. The manager offered my friend a soup or salad so she could eat something while waiting. The Caesar salad was chosen. The croutons were stale. A new piece of meat was cooked up...finally to perfection. Took three tries! The birthday desserts were delicious and the chicken pesto appetizer was perfect. We do not think the service was up to par since we have always had such friendly servers. Another waitress came out to us because we felt like she was avoiding us. As I said, it worked out because the meals were taken care of, but i hope we do not experience this again. Seasons 52 has been one of my favorite restaurant and of course, I will give it another try!“

“Amazing service been going there for as long as I can remember“

“Dope every time I go amazing food.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“Great lunch! Love the building!“

“great menu...especially of you're plant based and gluten free. service was excellent“

“Over the past 10 years, North Jersey closed West Caldwell, Bloomfield, and Morris Plains location within the past 10 years. I live in Verona and still willing to drive 30 minutes for a Reese’s Pieces sundae. SO THANKFUL the Morristown Friendly’s is still thriving. I’d be inconsolable if this shop ever closed! Butter crunch ice cream is my addiction.“
