1st time in after driving past on my way to work. I made reservations on valentines day. Figured we would give it a shot. Atmosphere was great very relaxed. Service was great, prompt and efficient. We didnt feel like we were in a rush. Band was great, food was amazing. We will definitely return. We saw other people food come out and it looked and smelled amazing. Highly recommend

Nov 2025. We stopped in for lunch and had wings, French onion soup, chicken tenders, the ahi tuna avocado bowl. Everything was good. The service was good. Overall a nice experience.

We came in on a busy Saturday afternoon without a reservation. The restaurant was full. I explained our grandson has autism and that we needed a booth. He didn’t have any available but after a few minutes he was able to seat us. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch (try the stuffed gnocchi and the steak stir fry). Plenty of options for children. Our server (Zacharyia) was attentive and speedy. Our first time here. We’ll definitely be back!

This is another top favorite for a nice night out. Scotch plains is beautiful inside and out. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful warm night and loved the open fire tables with the outdoor bar. The menu has so many wonderful fresh choices and of course I had to do the French Onion soup. We shared a salad and ordered prime rib and a burger. Between the great service and perfectly cooked food there is not one complaint from us. The drinks were made perfect and my husband and I are already looking forward to going back. This is a must try if your in the area.
