“My first visit to this restaurant on August 21st, 2025 was a resounding success, with the food being truly exceptional. The grilled salmon, accompanied by onion rings and vegetables, was a highlight, and our waitress, Jean, provided attentive and friendly service, making us feel right at home.

“First time stopping in. The food was great. And the price was very reasonable. The place has great atmosphere, clean & so much to choose from. Staff was super friendly. Especially Brooks, who went above & beyond helping us try decide what to order. I'm not kidding when I say everything looked so good. He kindly gave different suggestions. He took time to explain different options, what they were and how they were made. Any questions or requests we had were met with nothing but kind responses. Will definitely be back!“

“Sunrise Family Restaurant is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! I’ve been going there for a while now and it never disappoints. I like to call it a hidden treasure in the neighborhood. The minute you walk in, you feel like part of the family — the staff is so warm, welcoming, and truly wonderful. The menu is HUGE, the food is always delicious, and the prices are more than fair. If you’re looking for a new go-to spot, this is it! Do yourself a favor and stop in — you’ll feel right at home and leave with a full belly and a big smile!“

“We love this place❤️ coming here for years and the food and cocktails never disappoint. Sad to hear about Sam’s passing. We loved chatting w her. Great food and company❤️“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. The restaurant is small and full of charm, with beautiful artwork on the walls. We were given a really warm welcome and very attentive service. It is clear that the people who work here take great pride in the restaurant - as they should, and care about their customers. My friend and I opted for the prix fixe menu and started with a caesar salad and cheese plate - which were excellent. For the entree I highly recommend the sable fish - like cod, except silky! I had the lemon dessert which was amazing! I cannot say enough nice things about our experience. We were really spoiled by the service and gourmet food. I can't wait to go back! Thank you!“

“I had lunch here today with my family. The food was absolutely amazing! You would never think of Greenwood Lake as a town to get awesome Pan Asian food but The Local 112 is da bomb!“

“Great place to feel old fashioned, with the 'great atmosphere' feel (that you don't find to much anywhere anymore)! I loved it and the food was great! Excellent place to get a bite and socialize or eat alone but it was definitely a 'cool feel', kind of place!! I'll be back, I didn't know it existed until a biker friend stopped us on the Harleys for lunch!“

“Excellent cuisine, attentive staff and an overall cozy atmosphere in every room. This is fine dining without the pretentiousness that usually comes with it. The Old Stone House is, in my opinion, the finest dining experience in the entire county. 10 out of 10.“

“Both times I have taken my elderly handicapped mother here for lunch with family they were absolutely amazing to all of us,amazing staff and the food is always delicious and fresh,having the option to sit outside is lovely,and they are so so friendly and accommodating,thank you all for being so wonderful, a gem in Warwick for sure with great prices on fantastic food, the brioche rolls,the rueban,the burgers,the chicken wraps A++++++++ Everything you want in a hometown“

“What a place with an old time feel! They are on their game, we ordered on the road 10 minutes out and when we showed up our food was waiting for us. After looking around the building, they have a great condiments bar for all your needs! All the employees were working to get people their food and everything from the kitchen that was on the shelf for customers looked awesome! We got cheese burger clubs and some dogs, which were awesome! Bathrooms and everything was very clean and these guys definitely pay attention to detail on everything! In conclusion, all the food we had was great and these guys will see a surge in patronage as word of mouth goes along way. We just stopped in for a quick lunch on coming home from the beach, and the place continued to fill up as we were there! Johnny, Christos, and company are doing a great job and we will be back very often, because their food and menu options are that good! As I am writing, my wife continues to tell me about the food choices available from the Lantern, which is making me hungry as I write this! You boys have a great thing going and keep it up as we will be continuous customers moving forward!

Sincerely,
AJ Gorman (New regular customer)“

“The restaurant is such a vibe — amazing atmosphere, great energy, and even better drinks! Our bartender, Parker, made the experience unforgettable. He gave us exceptional service from start to finish, was open to feedback about the cocktails, and even created custom drinks that weren’t on the menu. Everything he made was perfectly balanced and delicious. On top of that, Parker was friendly, knowledgeable, and, let’s be honest, pretty easy on the eyes. We’ll definitely be back — Parker set the bar
high!“

“A Great night at the Cove Castle last night. My girlfriend and I attended the History of Greenwood Lake event at the Cove and it was very enjoyable. Bob, Andrea, Chuck and the entire crew made the experience exceptional. The setting and view of the lake from the second floor dinning room was beautiful. The food was delicious and the presentation was excellent. Drinks were large and reasonably priced. In Bob's 5 years at the Cove Castle he has transformed the place into a fine place to dine, drink and enjoy top notch entertainment. Can't wait to return to "The place to go" on Greenwood Lake.“

“We can’t thank the Farm at Glenwood Mountain enough for how special they made our wedding day! Everything was absolutely perfect. The farm property is gorgeous and the barn’s cathedral ceiling is breathtaking. The food was incredible and is still being talked about, months after our wedding. Steve, Candice, and Stacy communicated with us every step of the way and made us feel so comfortable in our decisions, especially the few months and weeks leading up to the big day. We would recommend this venue to ANYONE and EVERYONE that is looking for a quality venue with staff and owners that care so deeply for their clients. We are eternally grateful for the opportunity they gave us to share such an important day with our closest family and friends, and are thrilled to have become part of the Farm Family! Highly recommend 100%!!!“

“We chose to have a small wedding at Tree Tavern! We planned for months as we loved the set up of the outside. We came and tried food and drinks, and every person we encountered were extremely nice and helpful. They helped us every step of the way. The options we had for the food was amazing. We got to customize it to how we wanted and then pick a very nice drink package. The pricing was outstanding. They helped with the set up and take down of the wedding and honestly helped us with every little detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day or a better venue for our special day. If we could do it over again we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you to Mike, the wonderful owner. Joyce who helped us plan everything and Vicky who helped us pick out all our drinks. Tree Tavern is a place we will come to again and again. The atmosphere is beautiful and the people are great. They helped make our wedding day magical. This place is definitely deserves more than 5 stars!“

“We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and we were one of two customers in the restaurant. We waited at least 45 minutes for our meal. We didn’t complain because we were having a nice leisurely day apple picking. The food finally arrived my beans were watery as if they were cooked in water with no seasoning. OK I let it go because if the beans were the only thing wrong with the meal that’s not bad right. My husband got to the second half of his brisket sandwich and the brisket was petrified (Not my word I got it from another reviewer were but it fits perfectly). At this point we obviously mentioned some thing to our waitress. She agreed that the meat was not OK and said she would contact her manager who is not on location. She then came back and said the owner Laura who is the manager too who she called said she would give us 10% off. My husband was blown away by this response. He said it was a smack in the face which I completely agree. I then proceeded to add on all the rest of the issues we had that we did not say a word about at first. After the real issue that we wanted resolution from this is how they handled it? Are you kidding? Wait get ready for the best part. The bill came and they took 10% off of my husband‘s meal we got $1.60 off!!! Can you actually believe it? This restaurant is managed poorly and should go out of business. We spent $150 on a terrible lunch.“

“Jenn the bartender is great“
