New American Restaurants near Stanhope, NJ

“I have been a patron here for years. I have had countless dinners and family celebrations here. I especially enjoy the outdoor space. Entertainment outside is just right. The atmosphere can't be better. When it's cold, there's several heaters to keep it cozy. Inside there are several dining rooms. I have had parties Inside too! The food is delicious. I have had just about everything on the menu. Some of my favorites are the clams and chorizo appetizers and the pork osso bucco entre. They also make their own bread! It's awesome. The staff is polite. The service is great. Plenty of parking.“

“Love this place! It is BYOB or you can order a bottle of wine. They do not serve by the glass or have any other alcohol. They have a chefs tasting menu in addition to the 3 or 5 course meal. You may have to ask for it, but it's worth it! Food is always phenomenal.“

“Stopped here after church and was pleasantly surprised. The owner greeted us and sat us immediately. You can genuinely see his care and pride in the restaurant. The service was outstanding. Our daughter was the only child there but they all fussed over her. We really appreciated that. They also made menu modifications for her with no issues. We all loved our food. Portions were plenty and we all brought home some leftovers. Oh and get the beets if you are a beet person. They were fantastic!“

“I wish I could give them more stars!Food and Service is AMAZING! So Amazing we drove from Long Island to pick up for catering.I have used Stonewood Tavern for catering for my parties for years! I love that they are kid friendly. Great portion sizes.Thank You for a smooth ordering process! Can’t wait to stop in next week when we are in NJ for yummy Octupus & Risotto Kid-friendliness: Staff is always so friendly to the kiddos “

“We stopped in on St. Pats weekend and where plesently surprised. We got immediate seating at the bar and had amazing food. We came because the spot was recommended for their tap list, and boy, did they not disappoint. Spectacular selection of premium beers and a great variety too; not just the usual whale NEIPAs. My only complaint is that this spot is too far away from me to be a regular haunt. If you're around the area, definitely give Taphouse 15 a try.Parking: Lot is a bit tight, and the restaurant is situated in the middle of a divided highway, so it felt a bit strange when we pulled in from the left.“

“This is an excellent place for amazing tasteful food and a variety of drinks. The place is clean and the staff is super friendly and professional. High kudos to Nick, he was so professional and very careful about my dairy allergies. I highly recommend this place!!“

“Food was hot. Tastes was a 8/10. Waiter never offered me selection of veggies, mashed potatoes are from flake but taste good. Butter would be nice. Ordered meatloaf. Meatloaf was good but you get one slice cut into 3 slim pieces. Like that food wasn’t salty. Coffee hot and good , remember when you got two slices of meatloaf. But maybe too costly ? Over all good.“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“This diner eclipses all others in NJ. Peter does a fantastic job in serving the customers and pays attention to details. Only one thing needs changing to get the coveted 5 star rating; Please procure a higher quality bacon. The sausages and the rest were superb!“

“On vacation nearby & visited the Beacon on several occasions over last few weeks for drinks & food. Delicious, particularly recommend crab dip, seafood flatbread & burgers.Really enjoyed the live music and trivia night!Can’t wait to visit during the warmer months and spend time on the deck.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free catered for.“

“New chef absolutely turned this place around. My gosh. What a difference. The ambiance is awesome and the food is perfection. The octopus is always my favorite and I usually get the porter house or the surf and turf. Put this in the rotation for date nights and great setting for socializing and friends.“
