New American Restaurants near Sparta, NJ

“New chef absolutely turned this place around. My gosh. What a difference. The ambiance is awesome and the food is perfection. The octopus is always my favorite and I usually get the porter house or the surf and turf. Put this in the rotation for date nights and great setting for socializing and friends.“

“For the first brunch they offered, I was incredibly impressed. We made sure to tell the staff that we hope that you continue to do brunch even if it's only occasionally. I know I certainly will go whenever possible. The food was fantastic, and the menu options were appealing. I wish I could have reasonably tried everything. 10/10 recommend“

“Don't sleep on this italian restaurant if you are in the area visiting. The food is excellent! Service was great too. If you are there on a weekend night, definitely make a reservation, it was packed when we went on Saturday evening for dinner.“

“Food is amazing and very creative. Have had breakfast lunch and dinner. The only challenge is to decide what to order. Kudos to this talented chef and her son in their kitchen. This is a gastronomic treat from an entire team that does not present any versions of the obligatory standards found on most other menus. The wait staff has a great energy, which adds to the whole dining experience. I travel from PA to experience the food and if it were closer it would certainly be a go-to for me. The attached farm market with its delightful cheeses and treats, as well as unique and wonderfully fun culinary items-and even clothing-make the entire experience a heart-warming and fulfilling journey.“

“We went to Latour for our anniversary. Got a packaged deal with a 1 night stay at Minerals because we could only stay one night. The package included a credit for the 7 course dinner and wine pairing. Nothing bad to say about Latour. The chef made accommodations for myself because I'm allergic to shell fish and my spouse for not eating beef or pork and still keep it pretty close to the menu. The only dish that couldn't be altered was the pork because its portions are split between two people but that didn't bother me, the Chef substituted Oxtail me and Tortellini for my spouse, which were both on the 3 course menu. Trevor the sommelier, made adjustments with the wine pairing toatch the food and was awesome as was Blake and the rest of the wait staff. Definitely will be going back to do another 7 course dinner in the future.Dietary restrictions: Shellfish, pork, beef“

I love that they are kid friendly. Great portion sizes.Thank You for a smooth ordering process! Can’t wait to stop in next week when we are in NJ for yummy Octupus & Risotto Kid-friendliness: Staff is always so friendly to the kiddos “

“We stopped in on St. Pats weekend and where plesently surprised. We got immediate seating at the bar and had amazing food. We came because the spot was recommended for their tap list, and boy, did they not disappoint. Spectacular selection of premium beers and a great variety too; not just the usual whale NEIPAs. My only complaint is that this spot is too far away from me to be a regular haunt. If you're around the area, definitely give Taphouse 15 a try.Parking: Lot is a bit tight, and the restaurant is situated in the middle of a divided highway, so it felt a bit strange when we pulled in from the left.“

“We catered our son's first birthday party with American BBQ and we received SO many compliments about how delicious the food was! The delivery/setup was prompt and super quick! I had numerous email exchanges with Roberta going back and forth with ideas and she was absolutely wonderful to work with! Highly recommend!!“

“Food was hot. Tastes was a 8/10. Waiter never offered me selection of veggies, mashed potatoes are from flake but taste good. Butter would be nice. Ordered meatloaf. Meatloaf was good but you get one slice cut into 3 slim pieces. Like that food wasn’t salty. Coffee hot and good , remember when you got two slices of meatloaf. But maybe too costly ? Over all good.“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“On vacation nearby & visited the Beacon on several occasions over last few weeks for drinks & food. Delicious, particularly recommend crab dip, seafood flatbread & burgers.Really enjoyed the live music and trivia night!Can’t wait to visit during the warmer months and spend time on the deck.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free catered for.“

“We had a fantastic time with friends. Hanging by the pool in the biosphere and having drinks and delicious pizza. It was such a nice night in the warm pool with tropical surroundings. It felt like a little vacation. The lifeguards were so friendly and welcoming that we couldn’t tell if they were at all bothered by our silly shenanigans. Would definitely do it again!“

“The Barnyard is easily the pride of Branchville. I stopped in there last night and not only got great food but had amazing conversation with the staff. The place looks like it would have good food, and didn't disappoint.I will definitely make it my go to place whenever I am back there!“

“Brick 46 has been a go to spot for my family since moving to the area 2 years ago and the food never disappoints. That in mind we decided to host our 3 year olds birthday party here. Everything was executed perfectly. Our hostess, so sorry I don't recall her name, was awesome and made everyone feel at home. Lou, the owner, made everything easy during the booking process and my wife and I could not been happier with the outcome of the day. A huge thank you to Lou and the entire Brick 46 family!!!“

“I have been a patron here for years. I have had countless dinners and family celebrations here. I especially enjoy the outdoor space. Entertainment outside is just right. The atmosphere can't be better. When it's cold, there's several heaters to keep it cozy. Inside there are several dining rooms. I have had parties Inside too! The food is delicious. I have had just about everything on the menu. Some of my favorites are the clams and chorizo appetizers and the pork osso bucco entre. They also make their own bread! It's awesome. The staff is polite. The service is great. Plenty of parking.“

“Rockaway River barn is always a lot of fun! It was very busy when we first arrived. We knew we would need to wait for a table and waited less than anticipated. We found a seat at the bar (there were a lot of drink and beer options) and they texted us for our table. It was loud which was a bit challenging to talk, but shows how much people love it there. Our waitress was always checking on us for what we needed. The basket of bread was a nice addition while we waited for food. Despite being busy we didn’t find ourselves waiting too much. The spinach artichoke dip we started with was great! Our waitress kept giving us a lot of chips too! The fries were great! The Mac and cheese was a bit dry and plain but still good! We enjoy going to Rockaway River Barn!“
