Food was excellent but the only issue we had was our server wasn't very attentive. After taking our original order which we chose the prefix, we didn't really see or hear from her until the end. I finished my wine and was never able to order another. Beside that issue everything else was perfect.
Beautiful property. Restaurant is nice. Manhattan high-end restaurant prices. Food is good, general American fair, but not unique. Service is good but not on par with service in high end Manhattan places.

Highly anticipated dinner for my wife's birthday and a 10 year anniversary of beating a major health scare. We were running late and still got seated, host was great. Food was very well executed and tasty. Our waitress Gabi was special and not really attentive. Forgot to bring me my wine and had to remind her. Asked for bread as we had our appetizers and got told “We are a little bit short but let me see what I Can do”. The big mistake was not to acknowledge my wife's birthday while bringing candles and little birthday cakes to other tables. That was super disappointing!! Too many flaws and mistakes for a 350$ check.

We were there on a Wednesday night in May to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. We've had a few celebratory dinners over the past week as it's a big milestone, 2 in Hudson NY at Feast and Floret and WM Farmer, and a family dinner at 1776 in Morristown. At every place we went to they did something special for us for our anniversary - champagne, dessert, flowers -something. At 90 Acres - the most expensive ($50+ entrees) and exclusive of them all, not only did they not do anything special for us, we sat at our table for 45 minutes waiting for a glass of wine. At a place like 90 Acres, you are paying up for service. And while our waitress was very nice - I think she had too many tables and was spread way too thin. Overall it was a frustrating and very expensive experience. I will likely not be back and certainly not recommend it to anyone seeking a special experience. Food was good, everything else was extremely disappointing. Too bad we chose the wrong place to celebrate our special milestone.
Food and atmosphere was great! Service was slow though. We had 6:30pm reservations and were not seated until 7:00pm. Lots of wait time between each course. We had 3 courses (appetizer, entree, and dessert) and couldn't get out of there until 9:30pm.
My family and I visited for my birthday. The park and restaurant are beautiful. I recommend arriving early to walk around the grounds and enjoy the picturesque setting. We sat promptly and enjoyed our appetizers and drinks. Our server was friendly and the service staff was great at keeping our water glasses filled etc. Our entrees were pretty slow to be served, but the adult entrees were delicious. My husband and I had filet which was tender and cooked perfectly. Our older daughter loved her pizza. Our younger daughter (9) was not so happy. The children's menu has a set price that includes a choice from two appetizers, (pasta or spring veggies,) an entree, and a dessert. I would recommend they offer an additional kid-friendly appetizer selection. Since my daughter was ordering Mac and Cheese, she didn't want another pasta... and veggies are not interesting to many children. Since the entrees took a while to be served she was quite hungry when her food finally arrived. Unfortunately, her mac and cheese was very dry and bland, she didn't enjoy it.
The food was very slow to arrive. We did an hour and 45 minutes for dinner. One of the side dishes of vegetables, never arrived the waitress although attentive timing was not very good after food was delivered she disappeared, but she did stop back when we were just sitting there a few times, ask us how we were doing, but that didn't help us when the food arrived late. It was no salt and pepper. The vegetables didn't arrive at all beautiful ambience façade of great service, but in fact dinner was marred by the late arrival in the absence of food that was ordered and it was a birthday as well we told him it was a birthday and, it was nothing at all special about the treatment at dinner. We explained our disappointment they did give us a dessert to take home which was necessary because it was so late. We were not gonna sit there and have dessert until 10 o'clock at night in the summer outside on their outdoor porch area, it'll be more pleasant, this is our second visit there with kind of a rating of about fair for the whole experience

Today's visit left me with mixed feelings. While our server was exceptional and the Sauvignon Blanc delightful, the food fell short of expectations. The ambiance was lovely, but the pasta sauce was dry, and the octopus appetizer chewy. Despite the beautiful setting, the food didn't live up to previous experiences. In summary, while the service and wine were highlights, the food left much to be desired.

Hardest-working bartenders in the business. Creative menu. Best dish: Brussels sprouts with what we think was a spicy chili sauce. Also the brioche buns with carrot butter and salmon roe were excellent.

I put that it was my anniversary when I made the reservation however at least 2 people asked if I was celebrating anything when I arrived. It would be nice if they read the notes and shared the information with the server. It would make for a much better customer experience if they said “happy anniversary” when we arrived instead of asking for information that was already previously shared. Aside from that everything was phenomenal and we will continue to come every year for our anniversary. Thanks
We have been looking forward to dining at Ninety Acres for quite a long time and the experience was worth the wait. A lovely evening for three couples. We will not wait too long to return...hopefully for a cooking class next.

Amazing meal! The Elk special was off the charts. The red Snapper was delicious. Cooked perfectly! The ambiance, the cocktails, the food, the staff, I can go on forever. Our favorite place to dine. You will not be disappointed!

Main issue: Food and Food TemperatureService: Our waiter Andreas was amazing, responsive, helpful, attentive, and kind. Atmosphere was great as well. Exterior of the building was very cool as well as the interior. The open concept design of the restaurant seating intertwined with the kitchen was nice.When it comes to restaurant reviews I focus on value and quality of the food. The food overall presented extremely well but starting with the apps, the octopus appeared charred on a grill but was somewhere between cold and warm. The burrata which came on a croissant was new but the croissant looked store bought and tasted as if it was a stale. As for the entrees we had the same issue which they came out somewhere between cold and warm. It was interesting that nothing came out hot despite the 15-20+ kitchen staff we could see right behind us. The grits that came with the shrimp & grits was more of a lumpy paste that was smeared along the bottom of the bowl. Again, presented very very well but I’m used to grits having a more creamy consistency. Overall, communication could be improved to get food to tables warm or, preferably, hot. There could also be more value with the experience. When paying roughly $150 per person after tax and tip for 3 courses I would have guessed the quality of the food would be better and temperature would be prioritized.

From the beautiful drive up, to the prompt valet service, to the coat AND boxed food check, our experience at Ninety Acres was wonderful. The food was tasty and fresh and the wine was even better. We will add this as one of our “go to” restaurants for nice days and celebrations.

Great upscale restaurant. Our waiter Julio was friendly and very attentive. He made a point of explaining the menu and answered all our questions. The food was outstanding. We all ordered the prefixed chef's table dinner. A sample of several different items on the menu, was more than enough food for everyone. We will definitely be returning.
