“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“The Tavern was able to host our post-funeral luncheon on just a few days notice. While they don’t have a private room their space was nicely laid out to accommodate our party of around thirty. We chose a limited menu and everything was very good with the pot roast beef getting especially high marks. Special thanks to Carol and her hard working staff who made this event stress free for my family.“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“I’ve been to this place since I was a little girl my parents always ordered from here and now I go w my bf when I can I love their California cheese burger w fries never disappoints me ❤️❤️❤️

The scenery and views are picturesque. 10:10 do recommend to a friend!“

“What an amazing restaurant hidden away in the delta hotel in basking ridge. Some of the ABSOLUTE best service I’ve ever had, and the food was insanely good. I was here locally for work and I didn’t bother going to any other restaurant, it was that good. Highly recommended give it a shot and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Woody's Cafe has truly become a staple in my daily routine. The shining star of this campus eatery is the daily sandwich selection. Without fail, each sandwich is a mouthwatering delight, and the array of choices is nothing short of impressive. Whether you're in the mood for a classic club sandwich, a veggie-loaded wrap, or something more exotic, Woody's has you covered. To accompany your meal, you'll find a well-rounded selection of beverages that cater to all tastes.While the quality of the food is undeniably outstanding, I've encountered one small hiccup during my visits: the occasional long checkout line. It's a testament to Woody's popularity, but it can be a bit inconvenient during busy hours. However, this minor inconvenience is quickly forgotten when you step into the spacious and impeccably clean eating area. With ample seating and a spotless environment, you can truly savor your meal without distractions.What makes Woody's Cafe shine even brighter is its dedicated and friendly staff. The team always goes the extra mile to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of excellent. From taking your order with a smile to promptly addressing any special requests, they make every visit a pleasure.In addition to its culinary offerings, Woody's has managed to create an inviting and cozy atmosphere that's perfect for a quick bite, a casual study session, or catching up with friends. The cafe's warm ambiance is complemented by tasteful decor and ample natural light, creating an environment that encourages relaxation and focus.In conclusion, Woody's Cafe is not just a place to grab a sandwich; it's an experience. With an extensive menu, friendly staff, and a clean and welcoming space, it's a go-to spot for anyone on campus. While you may occasionally have to contend with a line, the reward of a delicious meal and a comfortable atmosphere is well worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend Woody's Cafe for its delightful food and the overall positive dining experience it offers.“

“This was my first time dining here, and the interior is absolutely phenomenal. The decor gives off an upscale, elegant vibe, yet the atmosphere remains incredibly relaxed and chill.
For appetizers, we tried the goat cheese balls with beet puré, and wow, they were to die for! For our mains, we ordered the pork schnitzel and the osso buco. The tenderness of both dishes was absolutely top-notch; the osso buco literally melts in your mouth. I also paired my meal with a sangria, which was so good I instantly regretted not ordering a second. We finished with the bread pudding for dessert, which was perfectly balanced, delicious, and not overly sweet.
Would I go back? In a heartbeat. I’m already dying to try the rest of the menu. Kudos to both the kitchen and wait staff for an amazing experience!“

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍“
