“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!“

“I want to leave a review because this place truly deserves it.
First, the food is incredibly delicious. I am a big fan of this place because I have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. They have a separate gluten-free menu, and it is also very tasty, which is very important for people like me.
They have the most delicious and very affordable French fries. They are always fresh, hot, and you can taste that the oil is fresh and the products are fresh too.
There was also a situation when I placed an order and one of the items was not available gluten-free. They called me, explained everything, and offered to replace it or give me a refund. They refunded me without any problems.
The service is incredibly pleasant. The staff is very attentive, friendly, and caring, and it always leaves a very good impression.
Thank you so much to the kitchen and the staff for being so wonderful. The owner of this place either is very lucky to have such a team or did a great job creating such a great place, because good food and good people are the most important things.“

Lucy made sure to make the occasion a special one, recomended a few entrees to my parents, and brought out a dessert for us to sing happy birthday without us even asking. She also told us which desserts were her favorite and we chose 4. Overall it was a great time and when we go back we will request her to be our server.“

“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!“

“Prospect Tavern is definitely the place to host your next event. Celebrated my grandsons one year birthday there. The food was endless so delicious and beautifully presented. Easily accommodated thirty people. The owner Carol could not do enough for us. The staff was amazing. When I am in town this is definitely my go to place.“

“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.“

“Great Sunday Buffet. Tons of food choices plus a Bloody Mary, mimosa or screwdriver. At a great price?“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“Dope every time I go amazing food.“

“Food is always great and on time“
