The only good thing here is that you can have the lunch time in and just have to wait to pack it up to take it to go home what's a lunch is 1299 here in N.Y. Also the food in NJ was cooked better I had to return the pasta for some new one cooked properly. Cold meat.“

It's a really nice family-owned restaurant in the area. Would be a decent date spot, especially because of the outdoor seating... call ahead and see if you can bring a board game.

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

There’s an outdoor patio, that for obvious reason we couldn’t use. The temperatures in NY have been in the single digits lately. The food and the service were on another level! Gregory was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food was finger liking good! I had the pan seared scallops with spinach risotto and OMG. I can’t wait to go back. Everyone was pleased with the their food choices and I highly recommend this place, unfortunately I didn’t take pics of everyone’s food. Only if mine, I hope you find this review useful.

“We are very thankful to have had our daughter's 1st Holy Communion lunch at thyme. Pam and the entire team created a beautiful and bountiful celebration lunch. Our guests raved about the food - how fresh, plentiful and delicious everything was. We had several guests with dietary needs (peanut allergy, vegetarian) and Pam helped us craft a menu to accommodate our guests. The team for the day (Sean, Jon, and Natalya) were so attentive and we appreciate the staff and everyone behind the scenes that made the afternoon a lovely memory for our family and guests. We look forward to more celebrations and returning again to thyme!“

“I was really disappointed with my experience here. The food looked promising, but the taste didn’t match the presentation at all. The food is highly overpriced, and doesn’t taste fresh. The appetizer quality was way better than the entrees.

I ordered the fish and chips for my entree, it only came with three small pieces. The fish was dry as hell and lacked any real flavor or seasoning. For the price, I expected much better quality. I left this restaurant still hungry and disappointed. Unfortunately, this is not a place I’d return to or recommend.“

“Great service! Great food!“

“Great food great customer service“

“nice atmosphere different than most, food good too“

“I've dined here at least 20 times and have always had a great experience. Our server Deneen was outstanding. So sweet and professional and took great care of us during our dinner. She should be commended. Two of us got the chicken breast dinner and the other two got the pork chop. Everything was delicious as usual. Our wine was great as were the little desserts they always serve. Seasons 52 has become a favorite which is why we always come back!“

“I’ve been eating at The Chateau since childhood. The creators of the Mish Chopped Salad. The friendly atmosphere, the comfort food, those great soups, everything is delicious and fresh. I love the dinners too. Good old fashioned food and service.“
