Huntley Taverne

Reviewed By Judge_Smails-BR

Food and service was good however immediately after being seated for lunch all of the windows on the porch were opened which resulted in a significant amount of road noise and flys/bugs into the room. This was not conducive for a business lunch at all. At a minimum there should be screens on all windows.

Slamwich Scratch Kitchen

A farm to table delicatessen where everything is made from SCRATCH! We use only the most local and fresh ingredients.

Reviewed By jeff3madison

I have been to Samwich Scratch Kitchen several times always I have left feeling like I have had a special treat. It starts with super fresh high quality ingredients, thoughtful compositions, and superior detail in presentation. They put a nice spin on old favorites and always have plenty of comfort food options. They are sensitive to allergy issues which is a personal concern. You will not be disappointed.

My first time visiting Summit. Arrived in the early morning and found this great place. I sat at the counter and was rapidly greeted by a very nice non-English speaking waitress. After a little difficulty with a question I had ... she just pointed to the menu board. Super pleasant though. I ordered a sausage omelet and was really surprised and pleased by the portions. The omelet came with toast and potatoes. Huge chunks of sausage! I enjoyed every bite. I walked to the restaurant but noticed that there may only be paid parking nearby. It’s on a busy street and street parking was full each time I was outside. Be sure to plan an extra few minutes to find parking...and budget that into what you expect to spend for breakfast. The atmosphere was great...and any diner that attracts the local police as customers has my vote!The only con I found was that the coffee top-offs were nearly non-existent. I only got one top-off during my entire visit...and restaurant capacity was at about 50% on average.

I’m literally in the bar...enjoying a nice sandwich and beer watching intently the US v. Guyana Gold Cup game. Bartender is great. Then they literally change all 4 of the TVs to something else. With 12 minutes to go in a 90 minute game. I guess I won’t have another beer. Yes, I could say something...but shouldn’t have to. Dear majshanmanThank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you were not able to finish watching your soccer game. Unfortunately, due to thunderstorms, we lost our Directv signal. I hope you will give us another opportunity to serve you better.Thank you

Went for our 23rd anniversary. Very tasteful and romantic atmosphere. The staff were extremely attentive and polite, and were happy to answer questions and make suggestions. They had some interesting signature cocktails and an extensive wine list. The meal was great from start to finish. The manager even volunteered to take a photo for us. We will definitely be back.

Love this place. A lot of great sandwiches have been placed in my stomach thanks to this place. Classic NJ sloppy joes, to massive heroes...but my all time favorite is the ridiculously messy Dagwood sandwich. Great spot for lunch. Reasonably priced...you get more than you pay for

prestige diner

Reviewed By mitogaku

This diner is over 30 miles from my residence elsewhere in NJ, & that locale has a perfectly fine diner less than 1/2 mile away. I now stop at least once weekly @ Prestige because of its consistently superior service, the value of its well prepared & presented dishes & its exceptional customer service [on the few occasions when a problem occurred the management resolved the issues in ways that far exceeded any reasonable expectations]. They have nightly specials, delicious house prepared soups, a nice collection of spirts, wines & beers & some very pleasing desserts. My sole reservation, the house salad is not inspiring.

Roots Steakhouse

Reviewed By c114nyc

Came here for a business dinner, and was happily surprised. The restaurant has that dark, old-school, elegant atmosphere. Started at the bar with the Riesling, which was delicious. I love that they put a large popover on everyone's plate to start. Light and airy. There were 7 of us for dinner, so we shared a bunch of appetizers and side dishes, as well as each ordering a main course. The Seared Sesame Crusted Tuna was excellent. The Potatoes Au Gratin, Arugula Salad and Broccoli w/Garlic and Oil were really good too. The Chicken Breast was good, not great. There were a lot of other things I wanted to try on the menu though---so I will definitely be back. Everyone else cleared their plates, and whoever didn't got their food to go--so everyone else felt the same!

We had a very nice dinner here recently. There was a piano player, which was entertaining, the menu was very diverse, and the food and service were very good. It is close to our home, which makes it even more appealing!

The food is excellent. The chef is flexible--there are not a lot of vegetarian choices listed but changes can be made. Sitting outside on the back porch overlooking the golf course is a treat in pleasant weather. Wait staff is pleasant and efficient.
