The food was art & tasted just as beautiful as it looked. Thank you to the team for being so passionate about what you’re doing, and I look forward to returning again someday.“

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.“

“Tracy was out waiter. She was fantastic. She gave us the history of the restaurant and made some great suggestions. I'm not a huge guac fan but the tuna tartare with that layer of guac on top was fantastic. The steak frites were excellent. My husband had the dry aged burger, it was juicy and tasty. It was our first time there but it certainly won't be our last.“

“We have eaten at the new Carriage House a few times since it recently opened, and have been impressed overall. The food has been consistently good, and the Carriage House is quite lovely. We have tried chicken, fish, and pasta entrees and have enjoyed them all. The overall service is good, but as with most restaurants, they have some very seasoned staff who are excellent, along with some relatively new staff who will benefit from more experience. It is an excellent choice before or after a performance at the Paper Mill. We hope they continue service when the Paper Mill is not offering performances.“

“Par is one of the BEST restaurant & tavern I've been to in a longtime. The waitress was so kind and friendly to me and my friend. She was very on point with our drinks and food. The food was delicious, delicious, delicious 😋 😍 The entertainment was Fantastic the female singer was FABULOUS and she Sang from her heart and soul. I really enjoyed myself!! Five stars all across the board ✨️ 👌🏾“

“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!“

“Great staff. Delicious food.“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“This place is neat! It's also comfy, they have a small patio outside and their food is really good! We went for an event and I kept seeing people picking up pizzas. If I were local, I'd go there for pizza as well. Their bartender was very polite and didn't give me an attitude when I ordered a drink. It's hard for me to remember names, so his patience with my description was very much appreciated. Definitely recommend!“

“I performed there for my first time tonight and the place was very cool. The patrons were a nice mix, and very responsive to my songs selection. John Lepre LIVE #supportlivemusicvenues“

“My family and I have been frequenting Savory Selections Catering's Fish fry since we moved to Scotch Plains. It is one of our favorite dinner places. Felton Jones always has fresh food and a friendly greeting. Everyone should check it out! Tonight!“

“Great restaurant! I had the caesar salad with salmon. The greens were super fresh, dressing was very flavorful, and the salmon was cooked to medium, just as I had ordered.

Our large group had lunch in The Dining Room’s private space. We had many servers, but it was mainly Ana who took care of us. She did an excellent job and is a real sweetheart.

The only downside was the coffee, which was terrible (and not cheap!). I hope they have improved the coffee by now.“

The staff are very friendly and courteous, seems to be a friendly atmosphere , all seem to be having a nice time. Plenty of tv’s. One I’ll have to sit and eat there. Plenty of draft beers to choose from, full bar for you mix drink folks. Definitely will be going back. New Jersey Joe 👍🏼😀“

“Rarely do I feel inspired to 5/5 a place but this is a magical spot to hang out. DJ Davis G spins the best music creating incredible vibes you cannot miss. The servers working are attentive and friendly. All of this is a 10/10, but I need to talk about the food. The wings at this spot are by far the best wings you will ever have in your entire life. When you are listening to some of the best songs you ever heard, while receiving the best service you have ever had the pleasure of receiving, you will be sitting down eating the best wings you have ever had in your entire life. These wings changed my life. I have a new answer to my "what would your last meal be" answer after consuming the wings at this pub. Nothing will ever replace how I felt when I was at this special pub. Cannot recommend more.“

“Our first time here. We had a wonderful dining experience. Food and desserts were AMAZING! Our server, Kelsey was awesome! I HIGHLY recommend! Prices are reasonable and, you get your money's worth! Can't wait to come back and try different dishes!“
