Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Glen Gardner

Everything we ordered was delicious, particularly the sea bass entree. Wow! My only small complaint is that the restaurant lighting is a bit dim for my somewhat older eyes.

Food was good - we ordered a series of tasty apps. Server admitted she was new when I asked what beers where on tap ( as menu directs to ask server) and she had to ask (give her a pad to take orders and have beers listed?). Ordered a beer and she returned with it after extended delay (few tables 2 bartenders not sure how delayed) and later again - when ordered second. Wife says she could see our drinks at bar - - I was close to just getting them. 4 tables in our section occupied . Tip…hustle the drinks as tips will elevate with bilI. I don’t drink a lot but NEVER should be thirsty. I literally was - I like beer with pizza. Oh..tables looked like alot of water was on cloth to clean and the water glasses seemed glued to table. Just was an off feeling with dinner overall but food (apps) were good! If you are seeing a show at NJPAC… couldn’t be more convenient.

We have been going to the original Cafe Matisse for almost 30 years. When we heard that a new chef owner had taken over we had to give it a try. Matisse 167 did not disappoint. Chef Greg Power has definitely kept the tradition of inventive delicious dishes that former owner Peter Loria had established. The food, service, and of course the ambiance is as special as it has always been. We definitely will be coming back

Let me start by saying that service was impeccable! Starting with the hostess being very attentive and nice, to our server that was 10/10! Food wise, we ordered the tuna tartare which was good. Not a classic tartare but really good! A very nice surprise with the tonato sauce, paired with micro greens and freshly toasted bread and olive oil on the table. We continued our meal with two seafood dishes and the shrimp and mussels were cooked beautifully. The restaurant offers a nice cozy atmosphere and did we mention that the service and the staff were amazing? Mr. Franco Porporino (the owner) seems to care very much about his restaurant and customer satisfaction and that left us very impressed. All the best and happy holidays, Anca & Liv

We came to visit friends in NJ. There were 7 of us. This restaurant was recommended by a friend. All of us loved it. When we got there we discovered there was music playing. It was fun music but very loud. They were so nice and moved us in the back so we could talk to each other. The food was fantastic. Great portions. Everyone really enjoyed the evening. Service couldn’t have been better
