“Went for a casual meal with relatives. For a Saturday night it was busy as you would expect. But the service was attentive. I had the french onion soup which was perfect. Then I had the steak frites. Well portioned and served to my liking. Demi Sauce gave it a nice extra flavor. Wine selections are abundant. Dessert menu is small, but all are well prepared.
When in the country, stop in for a great meal.“

“Great bartenders and staff. My wife and I always enjoy our visits here. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars only because there is not much in the area to compare it to, but the experience itself is outstanding every time.

Most everything is made in house, and the bartenders are far from average. Connor is fantastic and always helps make the experience memorable. It is not inexpensive, so be prepared, but it is absolutely worth it. One of the best cocktail experiences around.“

Pendry Natirar American • $$
400 Natirar Dr, Peapack - 7.49 miles

“We just spent an amazing weekend at Pendry Natirar. Having been to many 5-star resorts in the New York area, I can confidently say that Natirar still managed to completely surprise and delight me!

The absolute highlight of our stay was the phenomenal hospitality. The guest services and housekeeping team went above and beyond to set up a wonderful birthday surprise for my boyfriend, and every single staff member we encountered was incredibly warm.

Our days were beautifully full because the resort offers an abundance of activities. We absolutely loved visiting the farm, seeing the animals, biking, hiking, playing tennis, and enjoying the spa amenities and the gorgeous outdoor pool. The attention to detail was everywhere, right down to the comforting evening turndown service.

I want to give a special shout-out to Ana at the front desk, as well as Michele and Michael from the bell and guest service team. They were exceptionally friendly and amazingly remembered my name throughout our entire two-day stay!

Just as a quick, constructive note from an NYC perspective regarding the dining: we felt the food fell a bit short compared to the stellar service. Ladd's Tavern had a rather limited brunch selection, and while Ninety Acres was slightly better, it was quite loud, crowded, and the service was a bit slow on Saturday night.

That being said, the overall experience still easily earns a perfect 10/10 for us. The exceptional staff truly made our weekend unforgettable, and we will absolutely be back! 😊“

“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.“

“We have been wanting to try The Rail for a while so we finally went last night. The setting is very cool and I love the historic building. The host was friendly and we were seated right away. It took some time before anyone came over to get our drink order and once placed it also took some time. It was a bit busy so no worries. We ordered an appetizer for table. The boneless chicken was very good and nachos were just average. Between the five of us there were two cheesesteaks and three burgers ordered. All were VERY good. I had the Westbound burger and it was cooked perfectly, juicy, full of flavor and just what I wanted. Everyone else had similar experience. The live band started to play and we were looking forward to staying for them but their music selection was not our taste. Overall I would go back again. Maybe service was an off night. Definitely try the burgers! And maybe a different band would have kept us there all night.“

While we typically go later to listen to the live bands, anytime we have had dinner there, food has always been delicious, generous portions and a nice presentation which you might not expect but are pleasantly surprised! The band last night was one of our favs and they played music that we enjoyed and also our young adult kids. Definitely our go to spot!!“
