Fine Dining Restaurants near South Orange, NJ

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Sam’s Table. You can truly see and taste the passion, creativity, and thought that go into every dish. Each one was brilliant, showcasing its star ingredient with remarkable respect and care.

Over the last few years, my partner and I have been slowly working our way through the city’s Michelin starred restaurants, and I can genuinely say that our experience at Sam’s Table surpassed many of them. The experience punches well above its price. From the exceptional food and meticulous attention to detail to the thoughtful service, every aspect of the experience felt incredibly special. It was my wife’s birthday, and even the small card waiting on the table was such a nice touch.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had this experience and will be talking about this meal for a long time to come.“

“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.“

“We had a really good time. Very cozy, awesome service and the live Flamenco really made it a special night.“

“Had a beautiful baby sprinkle upstairs in the yellow and blue rooms and everything was wonderful! The food and tea were delicious and Jenna was so detail oriented and easy to work with, definitely book a party here!“

“Got the steak from here a couple times, the steak was very good from here.

There’s also so many options for when me and my family and friends are ordering with me, no one gets to complain that they don’t have the food they want like other restaurants.“

“One of the better sit-down restaurants in Terminal C. The hummus / pita appetizer was flavorful, though pricy. Highly recommend the Za’atar chicken — comes as a half chicken and the meat falls right off the bone. Cooked and seasoned perfectly and it was a full portion size that had me feeling full by the time I was done. Great service — ordered through my waiter rather than a QR code and the food came quickly. Nice ambience / atmosphere with the option to sit at the bar or grab a table. Given the alternatives, I’d come back here again.“
