Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Monmouth Junction

My husband, daughter, and I celebrated my daughter's birthday last night and chose Orchard Park to celebrate. We were pleasantly surprised by the festive welcome as we entered the property. The well-lit buildings and trees along the drive to the restaurant beckoned us to enter. After the valet took our car, we were escorted to the restaurant and seated. The restaurant itself was comfortable. The menu offered entrees for every palate. We chose the lobster tails, shrimp and scallops. Our appetizers included popovers, beet salad, and oysters. Everything was delicious! I was happy to see the addition of mocktails on the usual cocktail and wine list and chose a mocktail that did not disappoint. Our waiter, Hector, was attentive and pleasant. When he asked us about our experience, I simply said, "We'll be back."

Great experience, we love the paella and had a great experience with our service, drinks, and dinner! Will be back!

Gathered at eno terra with my Princeton book club friends for our annual holiday lncheon on a Wednesday. Our server, Lynn, was excellent, but she was the only server seen and service was very slow. A lot of young servers walking around but none of them brought us a bread basket or asked if we needed anything. So I would say your servers need to be directed better so they are not milling about. We finally received our bread after we had all finished with our lunch. So, please give Lynn some extra help.

Dining room full but not noisy. Our server checked in with us several times, answered all questions and was very helpful. Dining room was very comfortable. So many food choices. Our selections more than lived up to our expectations.

Upscale Indian food. Very tasty. Staff supplied a delicious birthday dessert and accommodated a young child at our table. We will be back soon.
