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.“

“Ram & Rooster delivers a fantastic tasting menu experience from start to finish. The space is beautiful, with superb decor and a counter overlooking the open kitchen that makes the whole meal feel intimate and engaging all for a great price!

Several dishes stood out, especially the scallop course, which was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The duck dish was another highlight—rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. It’s also BYOB, and they offer some excellent non-alcoholic drink options that pair nicely with the meal.

Dessert was the perfect ending, with a bright lemon cake and a decadent chocolate dish that were both outstanding.

Phenomenal service throughout the evening made the experience even better. Ram & Rooster is a must for anyone looking for a refined and memorable tasting menu.“

“After going to Bruno’s for dinner many times and loving it, we decided to have a party in the banquet room. Let me tell you that the food, service, and atmosphere was absolutely perfect!! They go above and beyond and honored all my requests which I truly appreciated! I highly recommend Bruno’s for dinner and private events…..and don’t forget to try the Cajun calamari!“

“The new carriage house definitely exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredible and SUPER FRIENDLY as always! Special shoutouts to the manager Joe, bartender Ashely, and our server Giovanna! They went above and beyond and truly made our experience special!

The food was on another level! I am a previous carriage house dinner, and Chef Jaques and his team have greatly improved upon their previous classic dishes!“

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

“Had a beautiful baby sprinkle upstairs in the yellow and blue rooms and everything was wonderful! The food and tea were delicious and Jenna was so detail oriented and easy to work with, definitely book a party here!“

“Got the steak from here a couple times, the steak was very good from here.

There’s also so many options for when me and my family and friends are ordering with me, no one gets to complain that they don’t have the food they want like other restaurants.“

“Very authentic dongbei food! Skewers came out hot and flavorful - the lamb was delicious. Other highlights include their steamed buns and dumplings. The “three delicacies” dumplings were very juicy and tasty. The only dish that did not meet expectations was the noodle salad (大拉皮）, this could use a LOT more raw garlic and mustard, and the noodles were weirdly gummy and soft. Otherwise everything was perfect. I will be back to try their 杀猪菜and 小鸡炖蘑菇！“
