New American Restaurants near West Milford, NJ

“A very interesting historic building with charming decor. Its a small menu, but the food was generally good. They also had some interesting beers on tap. The bakery items are very tasty. The staff were friendly but they definitely want you out when you're done. Not a place to hang out.Food & drinks: We didn't stay in the hotel and went for dinner.“

“Delicious farm to table restaurant. Recommend making reservations especially on the weekend. I called on a Saturday right when they opened at 4pm and was able to secure a reservation at 7pm, which required a credit card on file and $35pp cancellation fee. The Grange is an intimate dining room with about six tables, adorned with beautiful art, dimly lit, and very cozy and welcoming. On Saturdays, they have a pre-fixe menu of $65pp which includes an appetizer, entree, dessert and choice of coffee, tea, or espresso. They have a small wine and beer selection, but no cocktails. We started with a Kentucky fried duck tenderloin appetizer and the lunar new year nachos. The fried duck was fried in a thick batter and served on creamy polenta and blue cheese. The lunar new year tacos was heavy on the rice, it would have been better with a bit more tuna. For entrees, I ordered the La Belle Farm Duck Breast, cooked medium, and my husband ordered the HVCC Sliced NY Strip Steak, medium rare. My husband's steak was so delicious and nicely cooked. I thought my duck breast was a little too rare for me, but the dish itself was very good. For dessert, I had the flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream which I really liked. Our server was nice enough to add a candle for my birthday, which was a nice little surprise. My husband had an apple crisp dessert with vanilla ice cream, which he also enjoyed. We also each had our own little pot of tea which was the perfect ending to our meal. Service here was very friendly and smooth. Lovely ambiance and great food. Perfect for a date night.“

“The food was good, I ordered just a waffle and bacon recently, but unfortunately, the TV was tuned to Newsmax and I was told "it couldn't be changed". Now that I know the extreme political views of those in charge, I won't be spending any more of my money there. Nor will I recommend the Lakeside Diner any more. Too bad, it used to be such a nice place.“

“This Is an all around great place to have for our area!! The owners and service are all very nice ,the menu is large with so many different choices and the food is all very good and all at very reasonable prices!!!I would say it's in the middle of a diner and upscale restaurant...we do dine in and take out often for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!“

“Went for dinner last night. It was very nice. For an app we had the e erything pretzel. Very unique and good. It had Italian salami, pieces of provolone, stuffed cherry pepper w a big Bavarian Pretzel w a fancy mustard and another dipping sauce on the side. The short rib was very good too. The portion could have been a little bigger though UT it was good.“

“We’ve been here a couple of times now and not only is the service great but we love the creative menu. There’s not a lot of fun, creative menus in the area and this is one we love to try.They regularly change things up to keep the menu fresh and the food is outrageous“

“The Smoke Rise inn is the neighborhood's best kept secret This charming building has as much history as it does ambiance It is believed to be a private establishment due to it being behind the Smoke rise community gates but it is open to the public When you walk into the bar area you can't help feeling like you are walking into the tv show cheers Everyone does know your name or will by the time you leave The staff and the usual patrons are extremely friendly and love meeting new folks The bar room is charming with stone and wood walls and a cozy fireplace on the upper seating area There is dining in the gazebo room which is equally as lovely and a bit quieter The food is delicious and the drinks are quite generous The Inn can also accommodate weddings in their ballroom or private parties So if you haven't checked out this fabulous eatery come drop in but make sure you make a reservation on the weekend“

“Let's rally around the Paradise Restaurant! Remember Tuscany? Several former staff are there, and a fantastic new chef! They're planning on expanding the bar into the large dining room! Great atmosphere, staff, and food! We had the eggplant parm and chicken franchaise and it was top notch! Calamari was tender and crispy! Beer and wine selection was very good as well!“

“Best breakfast in Orange County hands down. Pancakes and breakfast sandwiches are out of this world. Lunch is amazing too! Always a variety of snacks and drinks. Service is speedy, and always served with a smile! Family owned GWL must-have. Cash only and not much seating, unless outdoor (warmer weather) but you can always call in!“

“Such a good pub. Food was great, really good chicken parm and the best LIT I’ve ever had. Bartender was a man with dark hair and he did a great job managing the entire bar and our table. He kept our table clean and our drinks full. Try the corn bites!!“

“I saw this place often as my bus passed it on its route. I thought it was just a catering spot... 'til I saw the "open" sign on. I am happy I saw the "sign" because I knew I could order a small meal. We had the Honey Bourbon BBQ Ribs, Garlic Parmesan Wings, Honey Fried Brussel Sprouts, Honey Butter Cornbread, Macaroni & Cheese, Brisket, BBQ Seasoned Fries and the Apple Cole Slaw.... Baaaaaby!Everything was delicious...the ribs were of great size and cooked to perfection and the sauce delectable. The chicken wings were seasoned just right and they had real parmesan flakes of cheese not that shredded kind. The Brussel Sprouts had a little char to them and the combination of Honey and Parmesan Cheese was something I never had before but will definitely be something I'll have again. The Mac & Cheese had a different flare that I surely tasted can't quite put my finger on the flavor of seasonings but I enjoyed it. Danielle was so pleasant and upbeat as well as her assistant/best friend and they made us feel comfortable. My 13 year old daughter who is a finicky eater was happy with her Brisket over Mac & Cheese and side of Seasoned Fries and the portion was of an amount that when she tells me she's hungry I can say you have leftovers. The icing on the cake was the Honey Buttered Cornbread what is there not to like about Honey, Butter & Cornbread all in one. The apple Cole Slaw was an acquired taste I wasn't expecting. It was more like a salad that did not need any salad dressing. It was different and I like different. All in all this place is a hidden gem in plain sight. If you are ever thinking about getting some BBQ give this place a try, I promise you, you won't be disappointed. I'm definitely going back there are a few more things I'd like to try. Thank you Danielle for bringing good EATS close to home.“

“Our first time here and it was mostly enjoyable. We sat at the bar, having not booked a reservation, as that was the only seating available to us on a recent weekend afternoon. Our bartender was friendly and he made fantastic cocktails. We ordered an app, two mains and a side dish to share. The portion sizes were surprisingly generous for the price. We both took home leftovers. But...minus one star for lack of attention paid to clear away our plates (or any of the adjacent patrons plates) as the next courses of food came out. There simply was not enough room on the bar top, and no one was clearing it away. The place needs a dedicated barback on weekends.“

“I live in California and wanted to surprise my best friend and her husband who were celebrating her promotion at Old Stone House in Warwick, New York. I called ahead to arrange two glasses of champagne for them, and Anneliese, the hostess, went above and beyond to assist me. She was incredibly friendly and efficient, guiding me through the champagne selection over the phone and processing the payment seamlessly. Her exceptional service made the surprise even more special. Anneliese's professionalism and warm demeanor truly stood out, and I am grateful for her assistance. Thank you, Anneliese, and the team at Old Stone House, for making this celebration memorable!“

“I was craving some roasted chicken, so I ended up here for the first time. It definitely fulfilled my craving. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. Not dry at all. The sides I got were also very delicious.Heck, my only complaint is to myself for deciding to buy a quarter chicken instead of half. I wanted more by the time I was done.Friendly staff and clean also.I will definitely be back here to try out some other menu items. I highly recommend this place.“

“I feel transported to the 1950s coming here - there's even a drive thru! The Lantern keeps a delightfully vintage menu and aesthetics - serving up old-fashioned hotdogs, burgers, milkshakes, egg cream(!), fries, sandwiches, wraps, ice cream, breakfast foods and more - but not in any kind of intentional hipsterish way...which makes it authentically hip in my book. Their signature item is the hot Texas weiner. Now a Texas weiner ain't like any other chili dog. It's a fried hot dog, topped with a special spiced meat chili sauce (no beans), which you can and should get dressed "all the way," with chili, onions, and mustard. And btw it's not a Texas thing; it's a New Jersey thing...by way of Greece. The chili sauce on a Texas weiner is particular (and not to be confused with your standard-issue chili con carne), and the taste can be divisive. Some people love it; others like my husband didn't care for the chili or the flavor of the dog. It's one of those things, IYKYK I guess. I for one did enjoy my weiner. And my roast beef club and tater tots w/ cheese both hit the spot. It's simple and straightforward food, nothing fancy. I can get with the back-to-basics-ness of the joint which fits with the theme. This should be an irresistible destination for any road trippers and curiosity food seekers. There is ample seating inside, with two dining sections. And the people who work here are nice. The older lady who took our order was so sweet to put cartoons on the TV for my toddler. Probably 3-3.5 on the food, but bumping to 4 for the kitschy charm, good value, and kind service. I just luv the whole vibe!“

“Good spot with amazing food. Try the Penne with Vodka, Pork Chops, Kids food, Salmon & Fish . Scenery is breathtaking, lake is so relaxing. Service was good, friendly, more less fast. Even it was Winter Time it was worthwhile, can't wait for summer to go again.“
