“We went there with friends celebrating our wedding anniversarys. The server and staff were excellent. It was a little bit noisy at first but as the crowd diminished it was delightful evening.We arrived at 7:30 and left at 9:45. At no time did we feel rushed to leave.The portions were generous and my wife and friends wife both took food home for the next day.“

“I have been to the Pluckemin Inn many times and it is one of my favorites. This time I had a bit of a disappointment. As soon as we were seated, the waiter began rushing us to place our orders because there was an event going on upstairs. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if an event is going on upstairs and the restaurant's staffing requirements are not my problem. Other than that, the experience was great.“

“Best sandwich I have ever had! I highly suggest the Grilled Chicken with Fresh Mozz and Roasted Peppers. Cute and cozy place with friendly staff and great prices. I will definity be back!“

“Food is Really Good. Nice Place.“

“Most people see diners and get melancholy for the same bland and boring food, but that is where I will challenge you. Today, I was served the most flavorful dishes from any diner I have been to in my life. I will admit it was a very pleasant surprise and a very wholesome experience. The portion sizes were nice, they didnt overload the plates to make up for poor flavor, nor was it so exquisite that you had a simple morsel. All in all, the food was very well done showing both love of the food and the love of serving. As for the atmosphere, nothing too complex but nothing too simple, it showed a small piece of history from Clinton allowing for immersion and a peaceful environment. The waitress we had was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu as well as quick and precise with our requests!
All in all this restaurant has been put on my "visit again very soon" list. Such a pleasant experience and I'm excited for my next meal here.“

“Nice Place to Eat. Food is good.“

“Amazing Friday night music and incredible atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“We’ve stayed at many luxury hotels, but this property stands out as something truly special. Tucked away in Somerset, NJ—a place we didn’t even realize was just 40 minutes from our home in North Jersey—this hotel offers a world-class experience without the need for a long trip.

From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone. Every detail was seamlessly handled: valet link provided in advance, immediate concierge and bellhop assistance, no waiting at check-in, and a flawless, impeccably maintained property. They even offered an Escalade shuttle to the restaurant so I wouldn’t have to walk in heels—just one example of how thoughtful and guest-centered everything is.

What makes this place ideal is that you never need to leave the property. Whether it’s a quiet retreat for couples or a family-friendly stay, the balance is perfect. Even with many families around, the atmosphere remained serene, and our adult weekend was never disturbed.

The staff made our stay unforgettable. Aiden welcomed us warmly and kept us entertained while our room was prepared. Michele was gracious with our luggage, and Chris went above and beyond—hauling our suitcase to the pool in the heat when our plans shifted from e-biking (my wife couldn’t quite reach the pedals!) to relaxing by the water. At the pool, Paige kept us refreshed with her bright, cheerful energy, making us feel truly spoiled.

Dining was equally memorable. At 90 Acres, our server Corey elevated dinner with thoughtful touches, including a surprise dessert packaged to-go when she noticed how full we were. In the Tavern, Rudy made us feel like old friends, mixing cocktails with care and conversation that made the night.

Every single staff member made us feel valued and cared for, which is rare even in luxury hotels. This property is more than just beautiful—it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. In fact, it was the first trip where we didn’t take a single photo—we were so present and immersed in the moment that reaching for our phones never even crossed our minds.

For anyone who works a lot and doesn’t have time for a long trip, this is the perfect weekend getaway. We can’t wait to return.“

“Great service, classy, food is always fresh and delicious..drinks are great 💯 recommend.“

“We were seated at the table right away as we had an early reservation of 5:30 pm. Water was served right away, and menus were given out. We ordered wine with our meal, which was served right away. We started with Pork Belly, Scallops, and a Bread Basket. A bread basket costing $16 had six mini rolls. Many fine dining restaurants it is at no charge. Cori, our server, was very friendly, attentive, and took the orders at a leisurely pace, which was good. Our Main dishes were Salmon, Pork Chop, and Red Snapper, which all came with some root vegetables. All dishes, including appetizers, were well prepared and seasoned. Both fish items were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We ended with Decaf Coffee (very strong) and Chocolate Cake. One person in our party had her birthday, and they served her with a Raspberry / Chocolate Cake with a lit Candle, which was a nice gesture. Our desserts were outstanding. The noise level was rather high as the evening progressed, but overall, I highly recommend Ninety Acres Restaurant. Just as a side note-there is a $20 Valet parking on the weekend, Fri-Sun. There is a self-parking available at a short walking distance away from the restaurant.“

“Good Food. Very nice servers, but the owner is terrible. Not a nice person.“

“Had such a great server the other night. We were a “chatty” group of gal pals and having fun and our server was just amazing! Drinks were great. The meatball app was excellent“

“Great dinner and breakfast!!!!“

“Been a fan of Riley and Jake’s for Years! This week I made reservations for a group of 15 ladies. Arrival times varied from 5.30-6:30 and departure times varied too. 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!“

“Always a great time!! 🍻🍔🍕“

“Amazing sandwiches today from Jerry’s and the onion rings were fabulous!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The owner Brian was an absolute pleasure to deal with while planning my daughter’s baby shower. And the day of the event was run by Jackie who was absolutely amazing!! The food was delicious and plentiful! I would give Brian, Jackie and The Rail 10 stars if I could!!!“

“Really good. Pleasant outdoor seating. Loved the pretzel knots. Good beer, sweet potato fries for most part were good. Would have enjoyed a dipping sauce for fries and for my prime rib sliders drummies were good but could have used a sauce“

“Great dinner! Great service,,“

“The new floor is DONE!!! I know that our dance family is beyond excited for this to be done.... 7/10/2025 was our first time on the new floor & I know that everyone was thankful & enjoying the new dance space!! Looking forward to more dance nights at The Nook!! Come see Michelle & have a drink & enjoy!!“

“Very attentive and kind staff from the moment we walked in. Food was good but it's not breakfast-ish food, so not exactly difficult to mess up, but it was very tasty either way. Only gripe is that it's cash-only and they only give you bottled water - no free water!

Parking: Free and ample parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible.“

“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 place is amazing. Not only are their drinks good for the soul (whipped apple chai, yum!), atmosphere cozy, and people amazing - but it was the first time I was told I couldn’t tip in a coffee shop (WHAT?!?). Thank you on so many levels, we need more of these pillars in our community - we appreciate you!“

“Had my 18th here!! it was an amazing experience and everyone had an amazing time! The manager Neo helped me and my family set everything up! seriously had an incredible experience and made the day very special. The party was in the basement, very spacious, there was also a pool table downstairs and it made the vibe so much better.“
