The Retreat Bar & Rooftop Reviews
I like this place even though it is a hotel bar. What I don't like are the crazy upcharge prices. I paid $50 (with the tip) for a burger, a side salad ($6 for a small bowl of greens), a glass of seltzer ($5 or $6 - really?) and a glass of Gewurtztraminer. Service was good. The other people here are usually not loud, except for the occasional ululation due to some extraordinary effort on the part of an athlete on the TV. The burger and wine were excellent.
Came here for an after-work happy hour. Honestly there is nothing around this area, so this is probably the only option. The ambience is more for business meet-up, we occupied the communal table. I ordered the gin( "cool as a cucumber"), tasted a bit too sweet. We also ordered a few finger food, surprisingly the wings are really tasty, it was cooked with gochujang (Korean spicy paste), the fries were petty decent too. The waiter/waitress were pretty nice, checked on us from time...read full review

The Retreat is a really nice, sophisticated lounge/bar area located within the Hilton Hotel at Short Hills. If you're in the area, this is a great place to stop by for dinner or a drink.
