   Food is overrated. Nothing was special. I wouldn’t come back.

   Not a good evening for us. Our filet mignons were not cooked to our liking. They were sent back and they still were not cooked..  They did compensate us with dessert, but overall it was not a great experience.

   I felt the waiter was over worked and did not have time to really engage with questions about the food. The appetizers were good but the main course meat was just ok. The desert and coffee were of an ordinary quality. Not what I remember as the quality I have experienced at the Highlawn before. Maybe Christmas was just a stressful night.

   Worst experience!!! Very few employees working Service herrific 2 bartenders and one man was a server and bartended for the entire grill room! Waited 30 minutes for drinks ! Salad and sushi ok but when we finally got food cold ! Steak overcooked I specifically asked for scallops to be carmelized!! Bartender did write it down but they came out cold and pale? I also asked for them not to be put in a bed of squash which no one listen to either No music until we complained then in and off with commercials ! Saw woman in ladies room Who was having a party in the wine room she said absolutely awful?? I don’t know what’s going on there but a lot of people we knew have a quick I must say Danny the manager took very good care of us and was running Over the restaurant helping in every area! We have spent many holidays there never had such an awful experience don’t plan on returning until they get their act together thank you

   Server took a while to come over & introduce himself, drinks took 45 min. Apps came out before drinks. Duck carbanara was bland, tasted like pasta water. Server took it off the bill. No gentle background music. View was nice. Save your money. Overrated “fine dining”, didn’t feel special at all.

   Just a fabulous evening, photos of friends and family in an exquisitely decorated fairytale setting, excellent food, picturesque views of NYC and Northern New Jersey, really a treat and a top restaurant hitting all high marks!

    Brunch with Santa was a hit with our family. Santa was engaging & entertaining. My five year old loved him! Food and ambiance are always special at the Highlawn
