    The food is always excellent. The oven fired ziti and spicy rigatoni are stand outs. Nicole, a server, is especially warm and helpful.

    This little gem is perfect before a show at the Paper Mill, but also for anytime really. Food was great, and while the servers worked hard, their timing could be a little better. Main course being served before appetizers were cleared, etc. other than that little hiccup, the service is great. Overall, it was a great experience.

    I’m just going to start off by saying, I love this restaurant! I booked Sweet Waters as a Birthday Brunch do-over for my sister from a horrible dining experience at House 157. Sweet Waters more than made up for her birthday. Our waiter was excellent, knowledgeable with the specials and recommendations and he always returned to our table to check on us. The plating was delectable and the meals were beyond delicious. I even asked for an extra Berry Pancake and it was delivered without any hassle. My sister was very happy with her Birthday do-over and Pumpkin Cheesecake. I will ALWAYS recommend Sweet Waters Steak House! Thank you
