The Station at Mountain Lakes

The Station never disappoints! Big credit to the Chef and the entire team for an incredible meal - we could not find a dish we did not love. Great venue too, take it in while you're here. We will definitely be back!

The Record had given this restaurant very high marks for cozy, romantic meals and I wanted to check it out for myself. I was not disappointed! It is a totally charming former train station magically transformed into a lovely restaurant. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, it is a sure fired place to make memories.

My family came for dinner and we have always enjoyed the food. I LOVE the chicken corn Cajun soup. Just a little spice but lots of flavor. The sides of Mac and cheese were delicious and creamy! The mushrooms were so flavorful and yummy! The shoe string potatoes were like chips and so crunchy and yummy! The white chocolate cheesecake was so rich and creamy. The bread pudding was okay. It was a little dry but the flavor was good. I got the steak in wine sauce with mushrooms and it was phenomenal. My partner got the chicken stuffed with mozzarella tomatoes and other things but it was so juicy and delicious ! I love the station. It’s the perfect hide away spot in town. The staff is friendly.

We have loved the station house in the past. Cool atmosphere, great food. We went last week and it seems to have gotten much more expensive. My husband's martini was literally poured tableside, and brimming, super nice. My fish tacos however, were underwhelming.

How do you screw up fish tacos? It was a special, too. My husbands lobster risotto was expensive at $50, and no real pieces of lobster to be seen. Not good enough to return, s

We had lunch on a sunny Friday afternoon on the outside patio. It was absolutely wonderful. The restaurant is located where the Mountain Lakes train station is, but you can't see the tracks from the patio. And during our two hour lunch we heard only one train come through, so not an issue. Our server Allan was excellent. Very friendly and extremely professional. We started with a nice bottle of Sancerre and the mussels fra diavlo appetizer, which was very tasty. Allan brought us bread so we could enjoy the delicious sauce. For entrees we had the shrimp ajillo, cranberry salad with grilled shrimp on top, and the Philly cheese steak. The food was fresh, delicious and nicely served. The vanilla ice cream for dessert was refreshing. There is no street parking, and the restaurant shares a p
