“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.“

“I hosted my Ladies Who Lead brunch at The St. Clair yesterday, and I could not be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the hostess and staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. A special thank-you to Leo, our waiter, who delivered exceptional service the entire time — attentive, warm, and on point with every detail.

And the food… absolutely delicious.
The French toast, the autumn hash, the oatmeal pancakes, and that biscuit — the biscuit deserves its own shout-out — everything was outstanding. Every plate was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

The aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant were just perfect for our event: warm, stylish, and inviting. It created the ideal backdrop for a memorable afternoon with an incredible group of women.

I highly recommend The St. Clair for brunch, events, or anytime you want a great meal paired with amazing service. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My husband and I recently had our wedding here and our experience here has always been pleasant.All the employees were very helpful, kind and professional. The managers were very honest and we appreciated them so much. Special thanks to Stephania for running the show and Tara for taking care of me the whole night. I could not have asked for a better venue. Small mishaps did not matter because the staff was on it and had several backup plans. They made my wedding day amazing ♥️.“

“Food was wonderful. Ambience was soothing and relaxed and very pretty for the holiday. Wait staff and manager were attentive and pleasant . Food delivery times were very timely . Especially for a busy holiday . We will definitely be making this our New Years Eve go to place“

“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.“

“The food is amazing with plenty of flavor. Thank you!“

“We chose Paragon Tap and Table to meet up with great friends who had moved out of state. Hadn't seen them in a year and it was the perfect setting! Service was excellent, from our arrival, thru dinner and even as we were leaving. Staff and managers were all present and engaged in making our dining experience the best it could be. Food was great. The table had fried calamari, a burger with fries, fish tacos and surf & turf tacos. All were delicious. Desserts were far from boring and we devoured them! Beers with dinner were equally good! A great evening all around! Highly recommend!“

“#1 restaurant to take the kids! We always feel welcome and well taken care of. This time was special because we had Daniella as our server. She greeted us with a warm welcome that was genuine, knew how to expedite the meal so the kids were taken care of but we didn’t feel rushed. Thank you!“

“My son and I had a nice meal this evening after a tough lax loss. Good was very good. Nice to be back in Morristown. Thanks you for providing a nice experience. Our server was excellent!“

“I just had lunch there with a coworker. I had the fish tacos with waffle fries as my side. My coworker had a salad with greens and strawberries and had a HUGE piece of salmon as his protein. VERY healthy.

It's a shame we went to a brewpub for lunch and couldn't have beer.

Entrees were $21 for the salad and $18 for the fish tacos plus tax and tip.“

“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!“
