Ugh. I usually love this place !!
But was soooo disappointed by the special seafood boil. The crab legs came out cold and had barely any meat in them and super dry. I don’t think a touch of seasoning came near any of the corn, potatoes, or seafood. The clams and muscles didn’t even pop open which meant they probably were not fresh ! Gosh I hope I don’t get sick from this meal and 55$ such a bummer I wish I could get the money back.

Always a fresh selection of oysters. Usually have multiple different kinds to try. Any other food we’ve tried is okay; but we basically just come here for the oysters. Vibe is cozy and everyone is always super nice.

The Chesapeake Tavern has the best seafood in NJ, hands down. When visiting Long Valley, I always make sure my family and I enjoy a meal here. We always feel welcome from the moment we walk in. The atmosphere is cozy and the waitstaff is professional and courteous, making sure we have everything we need. From appetizers through dessert, the food is always outstanding. I highly recommend The Chesapeake for a superb dining experience.
