Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in South River

Il Nido has emerged under new ownership as a new and different restaurant. To their longtime customers, it’ll probably never be the same again. But for people looking for good Italian food in a cozy setting, you’ll have an enjoyable night. Some of the higher priced entrees fell short. The oxtail special, apps, and dessert were a highlight.

Metuchen Inn always provides a great dining experience, the food and staff are terrific.

As usual I very much enjoyed my meal. Due to having Celiac disease I can only eat the gluten free penne which you cook perfectly with your great sauses. It would be soooo great if you got GF seasoned bread crumbs so I could order your great chicken parm.-baked clams-stuffed mushrooms It would also be great if you had an option to get GF bread at the beginning of the meal with the cocktails ...toasted w/butter,,, with your homade eggplant tompinade. I know there might be a cost for it, but if you keep it reasonable restricted eaters like myself would not complain

Stage Left is always a top spot for us. We have been going there for 25 years! We started with the wagyu tartare, it was unbelievable! We split a Caesar salad, and a dry aged Porterhouse. Definitely the best spot for a great steak in New Brunswick. Finished up with there wonderful bread pudding and an espresso martini. Again, everything was incredible!

Istanbul Bay Premium never disappoints. With its outstanding food (quality, variety), an exceptional service, and a pleasant ambiance, it has quickly become one of our favorites in New Jersey.
