New American Restaurants near Vernon, NJ

“Good food great service wonderful views“

“Went here for the 1st time for our anniversary. We absolutely loved it! Food was amazing and it was so warm & cozy! We are going back for New Years Eve ❤️“

“Had a really great time at minerals hotel restaurant tonight. I was on a first date with a gorgeous man. At first I was nervous after reading some of the past reviews. However don’t let that fool you. The crab cake appetizer was delicious. The salmon entree was seasoned extremely well. This was my first experience here at this establishment. Hopefully we’ll make back again soon. Thanks again for a great start to a first date!!“

“Last night, for my birthday, we had what I have to call a perfect, and perfectly delicious meal. You can’t take a picture of an experience, but if there were a way, we would have tried. My fettuccine Bolognese was a detailed joy, yielding a world of varied delights in every bite. Even the radicchio and endive salad… one of those textured, flavorful events where you close your eyes and savor every each mouthful. I could go on and on… but I’m still busy savoring. Gorgeous setting, roomy comfort, delightful servers and employees… and the bank does not break. You’d pay 100 or 150% more in the city to even come close.“

“My husband and I went for the first time last night & can't say enough good things about this place. It's fun and welcoming, with inexpensive food & drinks, and open LATE (and we're night owls). The music playlist is terrific, and the whole atmosphere just transported us back to the dive bars we'd hang out at in the city in the '90s & '00s (except cleaner). It's 20 minutes from our house, but it's 100% our new local.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this place, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from the start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect cozy charm. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with freshness and flavors. Highly recommended this place. ?????“

“Food was very good. Service great!“

“Everything about this restaurant was amazing. The service was stellar. The wine pairings were perfect. And the food! Wow. Each plate was a work of art, yet it somehow tasted even better than it looked. It was a quiet evening when I was there and I loved chatting with the staff. The best part was that they clearly love Chef Aishling. It was a truly special experience.“

“Had dinner there last night. Service was great with special notice to out server Denise. Tipped her accordingly. Other staff removed used dishes in a timely manner. Meals arrived hot and portion size was perfect. This was our 4 visit to them and always had great dinning,“

“4 of us went there last night not knowing reservations are recommended. We were able to be seated at 5:30 but told (not so nicely) that there was a reservation coming at 7 for this particular table! I almost walked out after that comment was made. Other than that, the food was delicious and our waitress was great!“

“We love this place❤️ coming here for years and the food and cocktails never disappoint. Sad to hear about Sam’s passing. We loved chatting w her. Great food and company❤️“

“We went to Beer Pockets BBQ for lunch this Saturday and the food was out of this world! Donielle and John made the best suggestions! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!“

“fantastic food recommended it to my family and they were happy too“

“Love this place the food the service the atmosphere!“

“Excellent cuisine, attentive staff and an overall cozy atmosphere in every room. This is fine dining without the pretentiousness that usually comes with it. The Old Stone House is, in my opinion, the finest dining experience in the entire county. 10 out of 10.“

“TLDR: Top tier brisket. Nearly as good as Texas brisket and certainly best I have had in New Jersey thus far. The hidden restaurant in the middle of a garden is so quaint and peaceful, I recommend going for lunch or a cozy dinner. View of the surrounding hills is also amazing.

Quality of Food: I had no complaints about the food. The garden salad was refreshing and did not lack in its flavor. The brisket was AMAZING. If you look at my other reviews, you will find I am originally from the south and have frequented a few BBQ places in New Jersey, all of which have fallen short of what I have come to find as quality BBQ. This. Did. Not. Disappoint. The brisket was slightly marbled and melted in your mouth. I can only imagine the quality of the Rib Steak if the brisket was top notch. The cornbread was the only thing I could say was standard taste and quality.

Quality of Service: It was neither over-the top nor mediocre service. Seemed like a decent amount of young adults were waiting on tables. We stopped in for a quick bite before heading to a festival, but we had no issues getting our order taken, food delivered and check processed quickly.

Environment & Ambiance: Can't be compared to the other locations at the resort. The garden by itself is adorable and makes you feel like you're in a storybook. Looking out towards the hills provides a feeling of awe. The outside ambiance and cute tables and chairs makes you feel like you're joining Alice at a tea party.

Pricing and Concerns: It's certainly not cheap if you are ordering their higher priced options. However, that being said, it is most definitely worth every penny. Not to mention you're at a resort, so what would you expect besides expensive dishes? For a party of two you can keep it under $$$. Add drinks or an extra person and you're going over. No other concerns to note.

Comment and Recommendation: Yes! I recommend! If I didn't already make it obvious - go for the brisket!“

“Finally made it to the new location today with hubby. We sat at the bar and spoke with John. I have to say what a beautiful place John has built here. Beers were cold and the burger was delicious. Spacious indoors and beautiful wrap around porch with seating. Definitely will be visiting again. Oh and plenty of parking. 🍻👏🍔“
