Best Live Music Restaurants in Flemington

Prior to COVID, we dined at Ryland Inn ten or more times a year. They have been closed for some time but recently reopened and since we were visiting the area, booked a reservation. While it is no longer the amazing farm-to-table menu, the food prep was very impressive. Tom, our bartender, was very knowledgeable and professional. We knew the previous team very well and he would have fit in nicely. He made my Sazarac beautifully. On to dinner: Skip the wedge salad- while trying to be clever, the red leaf lettuce wasn’t properly washed and much too gritty. Too bad- the blue cheese and bacon were excellent. The salmon (special) was perfect. As was the shirt rub and grits. Wines are very pricy. So we opted to order by the glass and found a very drinkable Cabernet. We both ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was creamy and delicious. So, while not the same Ryland inn we were accustomed to, it is still very good.

We joined a few friends for dinner and had a delicious meal. The service was excellent. Everything was timed perfectly for each course, from the soup to dessert. The specials were excellent.

This is a review for dining upstairs. We were seated immediately upon arrival on a Tuesday at 7:15pm. The service and food were excellent. We were greeted at our table quickly, offered water, and provided menus. Soon after that, our drink orders were taken. Our appetizer and dinner orders were taken upon receipt of our drinks. The plates and utensils were replaced for every course of the meal. While the water glasses on the table were small, the staff was very attentive to keeping them full. The area in which we were seated had several other full tables, but I didn't find it to be loud or disruptive to our own table conversation. The lighting was low, with a tea light at each table, but I was still able to read the menu without issue. Overall it was an excellent dining experience for a date night. We will return.

Outstanding selection of high quality dishes served brilliantly in a beautiful and well preserved iconic historic landmark. Every time we regret not returning sooner for another visit.

We hadn’t been here in a while and I’m not sure why. Food was delicious and service was good. Owner greeted and we felt so welcomed. We had a very nice night. We’ll definitely come back soon.
