18 Best Wine Bars near Watchung

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

“Went here tonight. Had a wonderful experience. Friendly staff, pretty good food, A+ drinks and ambience. Had the tuna tartare- think they can sauce up a little bit and hit with a " vehicle" ( tostada, etc), but overall, fine!! And surprisingly fresh for the area. Grilled Caesar- fantastic. Croquettes ( jamon) more my husbands thing but the sauce was good and I totally enjoyed ! Staff is sweet and super excited to have you. Ambiance is gorgeous. And honestly- food, room for improvement but definitely a major highlight of the area.

For those of you submitting bad reviews, shame on you. I have to take a guess and say 1.) you think you have taste because you lived in Murray Hill for a couple years, did a stint and Hoboken then made your way to the suburbs of Jersey. News flash, it's northern Jersey. You should be appreciative this place is putting an effort in to offer a more elegant experience than the harvest restaurants and chipotle around town. These people are trying, and we should be encouraging this type of development in our town as much as possible. OR 2.) you're so violently upset by the costing of tapas that you blow their whole rating on that, you aren't the target audience.

Congratulations to this team for working with what you got, elevating the suburban experience, bringing friendly, attentive service, good food, and giving us back a little local zest in " going out for dinner" . Will keep coming back!“

“Great place! Really liked the deli and pizza selection. The bar was great with large space.“

“Food was great drinks were great. The service was lackluster unfortunately I don't know if the person was new but we ordered a bottle of wine they brought it to our table open which is not customary. And poured the wine directly into a carafe without us checking the bottle. Service at the end we were handed a bill We were not asked if we wanted dessert or anything of that nature.“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“This was the first time we had just an average experience. I was taking a friend out to celebrate her birthday because we always love the excellent service and food. Yesterday things worked out in the end (through a manager) but several negative things occurred. For one thing, the filet mignon/lobster tail combination was not cooked properly. One order was for “medium” and it was totally rare. Had to get manager because server was busy bartending and waitressing. The manager took the meat back and had it recooked. Also, the lobster tail was extremely tiny. We have had this dish before, and the tail was always small but not tiny small. Ok, so now I am eating by myself while my friend is waiting for her dinner. BTW! It came out very rare again. The manager offered my friend a soup or salad so she could eat something while waiting. The Caesar salad was chosen. The croutons were stale. A new piece of meat was cooked up...finally to perfection. Took three tries! The birthday desserts were delicious and the chicken pesto appetizer was perfect. We do not think the service was up to par since we have always had such friendly servers. Another waitress came out to us because we felt like she was avoiding us. As I said, it worked out because the meals were taken care of, but i hope we do not experience this again. Seasons 52 has been one of my favorite restaurant and of course, I will give it another try!“

“Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because this was my first time eating there. The food was hearty, healthy and delicious—looking forward to the next visit. (They make their own bread!)“

“Excellent - wonderful lunch menu with daily specials . Soups snd risottos are my favorites but the entrees are delicious and perfect amounts. The soufflés - from choc to mango - are to die for. Even the expressos are good.“

“Food is Delicious. Nice Place.“

“I went to Batch today with colleagues. It was a perfect after-work spot with a great vibe, excellent service, and delicious small plates. My friends and I can't wait to go back.“

“We had our daughter in-laws shower here ! They did a fabulous job! The food was outstanding as well as the service ! It was a perfect day ! Beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“Great selection and great staff. They were out of something I had ordered through Drizly and made an excellent recommendation in its place instead of just removing the item completely. I’ve ordered from them before and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you!!“

“This spot is a hidden gem. I’ve been living in the area for about 15 years now and just randomly tried this place one day, and let me just say it not only exceeded my expectations but blew them out of the park. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is nothing short of simply the best. I would highkey recommend trying their freshly house made pizzas, they’re finger licking good as well as their pastas which are chefs kisses. I’m genuinely amazed at how not many people know about this restaurant. The owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, we talked for 15 minutes just about her business it was 2 minutes before they closed and she offered me all of the left over pizza they hadn’t sold that day FOR FREE. I’ve found my new favorite go to Italian spot.“

“Great food and service in a very stylish restaurant…“

“Wide and varied selection of handhelds- burgers and sandwiches which come with fries that's golden crisp. Reuben Swiss on rye. Wonderfully melted cheese and succulent thin shaved brisket beef. Seated ahi tuna on arugula with sauce on the side was a bit plain.“

“Best place to shop in the 10 mile radius! Great selections of wines, spirits with reasonable pricing. They are always willing to help you find something if needed.“

“This is my go-to spot for Sunday Brunch. The 3-course Prix Fixe is affordable and delicious. Portions and drinks are just right and servers are engaging. Music is not over-bearing and there are TVs by bar to enjoy sports events. Just a pleasant place to spend Sunday afternoon.“

“I love the atmosphere here and work just about once a week from here! Their coffee is delicious (personally recommend the amaretto latte—hot or iced)! I definitely recommend it to anyone who comes to visit.“
