“The Nordstrom Ebar at the Short Hills Mall is a great place to take a break from shopping! ☕️ The baristas are super friendly, and the coffee is always high quality. A perfect spot to grab a delicious latte and a quick treat before getting back to the retail therapy. 🛍️ Highly recommend! #Nordstrom #Ebar #ShortHillsMall #CoffeeBreak #BaristaLife #ShopandSip“

Great food greater service a little pricey for the breakfast buffet $40 per head but you get what you pay for ! Excellent experience , the entire hotel was awesome for our family of 7 trip !“

“I go to the ebar for coffee and a salad maybe twice a week. The employees are fast, friendly and super sweet. I would like to leave a compliment for them to the manager. Which, come to think of it, I have never seen. Hopefully he or she sees this message.“

“I went here for a fundraiser they had about 7 different hors d'oeuvres all were good the waiters kept them coming .I ordered the duck lollipops , cheeseburger , watermelon salad , spicy cauliflower and the wings all were very good .

“I was kind of disappointed when we came to pick up our order that it wasn’t ready yet. Many staff would asked me and my husband what we were standing there for and looking like waiting for something, but not coming back to tell us anything about our order except the last lady who took care of it. We ordered the food online at 1:00pm for a pick up at 8:00pm. Isn’t this enough time to get it ready? We even generously put in a more than a reasonable tip although we’re not dining in, as it is the New Year, time to be grateful and appreciative. We did not mind the waiting but it’s the way staff was asking us and doing nothing. One more thing, it was good before we left we checked all the 3 bags of food for completeness because one main course was missing and one staff noticed us and we told her about the missing food. She went to the kitchen and came back in 5 seconds with the missing food. So someone missed to put it in the bag. The Cheesecake Factory is one of our bests but sometimes it disappoints us for a valid reason.“

“Good food! We ordered the Shellfish Valencia and it's really good, has a similar flavor and texture profile to Seafood Paella.
Clam chowder and calamari was fresh and better than your regular restaurant versions.
Service was excellent, Shae was pleasant and attentive.“

“Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the excellent service to the delicious food!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“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.“

“Stopped be for a preflight bite and a mimosa. Both breakfasts were delicious. Coffee was great. Prosecco is n top. Rosemary was behind the bar, so friendly.“

“The breakfast menu provided a wide variety of selections. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend Hapgoods!“

“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!“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

“Perfect for kids, Plus the food is great!!“

“Love the place. Just had a few beers but great and friendly staff“

“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.“

“Unbeatable Service – Quinn Keeps Us Coming Back! This bar lounge has become our favorite spot, and it’s all because of the incredible service! Every week, we’re welcomed like family, and Quinn always makes sure we have an unforgettable experience. Quinn is an absolute pro behind the bar—crafting amazing cocktails with precision and personality, always knowing exactly what we’ll love. The drinks are always perfect, the atmosphere is unbeatable, and the service is what keeps us coming back week after week. Huge shoutout to Quinn for making this place feel like home.

“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!“
