Been there twice in past two weeks to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Dining room, not noisy, could actually have conversation. This must be one of top five restaurants in NJ“

Our server, Anna took it all in stride. She was friendly and very efficient. Appreciated her cheerfulness and patience. Food was delicious and the cocktails, I’m told were refreshing. Thank you to Jake and Riley’s for another wonderful experience!“

“An absolutely five-star experience at a truly five-star restaurant! We visited for Valentine’s Day, and everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The service was phenomenal — incredibly attentive without ever feeling intrusive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed a four-course meal, and each dish somehow managed to outdo the last. The gnudi was my favorite — so light, delicate, and full of flavor. We had such a wonderful evening and I’m already counting down until our next visit!“

“Not sure why everything was super expensive but it was good and service was amazing. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but staying at hotel and too cold outside to go anywhere I definitely would eat here. Just want to say thank you to the people that prepared my French toast, it was so good.“

“If you’re looking for an absolutely delicious ice cream cake made with love- look no further. We are a huge ice cream cake family- our daughter wanted a cookie dough and cookies and cream ice cream cake for her birthday and Williams and Co. did not disappoint. We will never order one from anywhere else! Their communication, flexibility, and passion for what they do is unmatchable. Thank you so much for making our girl’s celebration that much sweeter!“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“Stage Fright had a blast playing at Mrs. Riley’s! The staff were very welcoming and we loved the vibe. Definitely a place to go & hangout, have some drinks and a bite with your friends & listen to Live Music.“

“Crash delicious, while food from a company that has a great sustainability consciousness“

“We go to The Rail every so often, usually on Tuesdays for T-Bone Tuesday. The steak itself is good, but lately they’ve had a hard time getting the temperature right. We ordered it rare on our last visit and it came out closer to medium.

The mashed potatoes are delicious, and the salads are always fresh. The drinks are good as well. We prefer sitting at the bar, but it’s small, so sometimes we end up at a high-top instead.

Overall, it’s a solid spot with good food, and we just hope the steak temperatures become more consistent.“

“Great little tavern. Food was good and they get a decent size portion. Friendly waitress“

“So sad that when my sisters wedding was canceled on BY THE RYLAND INN cause of covid and rescheduled and only had the options of a couple Sundays even though they PAID for a SATURDAY the would NOT switch the price or give her a SATURDAY like they PAID for...shame on you ryland inn awful buisness practice“

“This was our first time here but not our last . The staff is amazing and found out family run the grandson that took care of us took real pride telling us it was his grandparents place and all family run. He took real pride in his job. Places like this do not exist anymore and it is said . The food was out of this world . Will definitely be back . Oh the chicken in the basket is amazing and the chicken orzo soup was really good also“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“We love Taphouse! In fact we came here for Easter brunch and give it a 10/10. Came with 5 kids and the staff was so nice and accommodating. This is our go to for date night and take out.“

“Great dinner! Great service,,“

“Excellent service!!!!! Great view of the river!“

“We had about a dozen people in our party (yes, reservations were made), and the service couldn’t have been any better.

As far as food goes, all was good. A bunch of apps for the table and everyone selected stuff from all over the menu and the reports were all positive. I had bangers and mash and it was superb. Two others also had bangers and mash and loved it. I really don’t remember what the others had but as said before from all over the menu.

Food was wonderful as was the service.“
