Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Matawan

We are huge Hamilton fans and came here because of the connection not really sure what to expect. It blew us away. The food was great. The history and ambience was amazing. Our teenage boys loved it as well. I highly recommend the soup and grilled cheese sandwich with bacon. We would definitely come back again.

Went for brunch near Christmas. Restaurant was decorated nicely. Steak and eggs and omelets were outstanding along with the service. Never felt rushed even though it was very busy. Highly recommend.

We dine at the Poached Pear a few times a year. It is a favorite among our friends for fine dining. Service is always attentive and efficient without being overbearing. Entrees are plentiful and delicious. Prices are in line with other fine dining establishments $$$$ justified by consistentl quality food. BYOB

The food was fabulous. We loved everything about this restaurant. Also, Lilly, our waitress, was absolutely fantastic!! It was a very busy night, large holiday parties and short staffed. However, she was on point without missing a beat. I’ll most definitely return.

Met a friend there for lunch. Food & service were excellent. Dining room was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Very festive.
