About The Retreat Bar & Rooftop

The Retreat Bar & Rooftop is a sophisticated lounge and bar area located within the Hilton Hotel at Short Hills. The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere for dinner or drinks, and also caters to private events. The Food and Beverage Manager ensures that every detail is taken care of, and the food served is described as delicious.

Customers have recently shared their experiences, noting that the cocktail options were limited but strong, and while most of the food items were good, the chicken was a little dry. The service was described as a bit relaxed, despite the place not being crowded, but the staff were friendly and polite. Overall, it is considered a pretty good option for dinner and drinks.

The restaurant also features a small lounge area with plenty of seating and couches, as well as a few tables facing a creek at the back. There is an outdoor section, but it was closed during the winter. The food is reported to be decent, with large servings that are all edible. Customers have tried the calamari and turkey club sandwich, which were reasonably priced. The fountain sodas, however, were considered a bit expensive at $5 each without refills. The service was described as fine, with customers seating themselves and someone coming to assist them, and the staff being pleasant and responsive.
