Best Farm To Table Restaurants in New Jersey

Semolina is always our first choice when we come back to NJ. As usual is was phenomenal!!! The coffee crusted venison carpaccio was tender and delicious. I had the squash angolotti that were plump and the creamy sauce has just enough truffle and pepper notes. My husband had the spicy octopus ragú and it was light and flavorful. Finished the night with a hefty pot de crème that was perfection. Trish was out server and she was attentive, witty and efficient as the dining room was filling up punctuated by Bryson and Jillian who made sure we had everything we needed. once again walked away full and happy!

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.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Nido and it was an experience I’ll be raving about for a long time. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the inviting ambiance. The warm lighting, tasteful decor, and soft background Christmas music created the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The food, however, was the true star of the evening. Every dish was a masterpiece, both in presentation and flavor. The octopus was an absolute standout, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The menu offered a great variety, with something to satisfy every palate, and it was clear that fresh, high-quality ingredients were a priority. What truly set this place apart was the exceptional value. The portion sizes were generous without compromising on quality, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the level of care and craftsmanship that went into each dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall excellent experience. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re searching for a restaurant that excels in food, ambiance, and value, Il Nido is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Rosalita's is a good local Mexican restaurant. There is a bar scene for those who see that vibe, and a family section as well. Prices at Rosalita's are very reasonable. They have a nice variety of cocktails and a large menu. Portions are large and the food is very tasty.

I’ve heard such great things about this place and their steaks. So my friend and I went. I have to say I was really disappointed in the food. It was a Saturday at 5 pm, an early dinner for us, and we were the only ones in there. So it wasn’t like the kitchen was slammed. We both got the 7oz filet mignon. Mine looked good although her cut looked terrible almost like a steak patty where mine was nice a plump. The mashed potatoes were cold and again we were the only ones there. So a big disappointment and not a place I can recommend or want to go back to unfortunately
