Fine Dining Restaurants near Watchung, NJ

“Excellent restaurant! The staff were great, terrific atmosphere, the food was outstanding and they made my wifes birthday really special.“

“Bruno’s is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel at home the moment you walk through the door. It’s warm, inviting, and full of small-town charm, with a staff that treats every guest like family. The owners are always present, ensuring that each visit is as welcoming as the last.

The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish is crafted with care, from the rich pasta to the perfectly crispy chicken parmesan. The flavors are authentic, comforting, and always leave you looking forward to your next visit.

Bruno himself is a big part of what makes this place so special. He has a way of making everyone feel welcome, and if you’ve been here more than once, chances are he already remembers you. It’s the kind of personal touch that sets Bruno’s apart from the rest.“

“We have dined here many times before seeing various shows at the Papermill Playhouse, and our experience has always been delightful. It is a nice, quiet little restaurant with a big heart. Everyone there is so kind and attentive. The service is wonderful. Everyone from the host, our server, even the bartender greeted us with big smiles. The food was fabulous as well. The chef came to our table to chat and see how everything came out - fantastic! It’s great that they have a pre-fixed menu, you pick your appetizer, main course, and desserts, and it’s all themed based on the show, so clever! The steak was cooked to perfection. By the time dessert came out, I could barely eat another bite, but I did! :) Drinks are delicious as well. The manager is a nice guy too! He came around to see how everything was - impeccable. From the atmosphere, to the food, the drinks, the staff, it was truly a wonderful time. We are looking forward to many more pre-dinner shows at the Carriage House!“

“Just had the Spinach Alfredo pie. Truly amazing the flavor, texture and the crust. Highly recommended“

“Since working @ L’Oréal, which is across the street, an employee invited me to lunch here. It was the first time I tried Thai food and I loved it! I haven’t tried anywhere else. The service has always been good up until yesterday. I ordered my food online but I wanted to eat there because my lunch is too short so I waste time walking back to work with my lunch. I think they were upset because when 2 women served me food and water, I said THANK YOU and they both ignored me. They smiled at their other guest but looked serious with me. I used to eat lunch there everyday so I deserve respect! I don’t know where the guy and girl that treated me so nicely went but these 2 women make me not want to eat there again.

Update 1.24.25
You didn’t go “above and beyond” because when I called to order my food to eat it there, the girl on the phone said you don’t do that so I still ordered my food online and when I got there I ASKED you to warm it up. Even if it wasn’t allowed, you should’ve told me instead of giving me attitude and treating me with disgrace. I’ve ordered many times there, I put money into your business I even recommend this restaurant to people so you should’ve told be professional!

By the way, the drunken noodles I ate yesterday only contained 2 pieces of tofu and barely any sauce, it was dry.“

“Excellent food and great Drinks 🍸 choices“

“Very delicious, a little expensive for poor students, but the taste is nothing to say. As the review said, the waiter always suggests adding more dishes. Even though we have ordered a lot of grilled skewers, duck blood vermicelli, fried eggplant, cold dishes, potted pork, rice, etc., we continue to recommend more dishes, but just refuse. Overall very satisfied ?“
