Best Restaurants for Groups in Whippany

Haven’t been here to this location in over 25 years probably. It sits next to a Hilton off RT10 just past Capital Grille. I figured since it was older and Capital Grille seems to get a ton of business that it might be very quiet especially on a Sunday. I was very wrong. It looked great inside, the ambiance is perfect and didn’t seem overly loud despite it being very busy. Met my buddy and he had a tomahawk while I ordered an 11oz filet and a separate lobster tail. Everything was perfect from the service to the quality of the food. The hot plate and the flavor of their ovens shows in their steaks. I love both this place and Capital Grille and I’m glad both are flourishing. Don’t sleep on this place though.

The food is superb. The staff is very attentive for your needs. They watch your reactions and react to what they think you may need or want. Truly old style restaurant service. That alone I tip well for. The superb food and service. Noise is a little loud, but it is an old building with a nice ambiance. Take in the atmosphere, ambiance, and view along with superb service, and you will have the perfect experience. The only negative I have is the table downstairs near the middle, and the wine bar area is tight and has a lot of traffic. I was at that table the first time, and it was annoying the amount of wait persons and people squeezing by the table.

Seated on the upper level of the dining room we had a grand view of the Tiffany ceiling, and it was much less noisy than the main floor or the red dog. At the close of the meal we were serenaded by the wonderful Brynn Stanley and her pianist, and we spent a happy hour post meal listening to them perform holiday and jazz favorites. A great way to begin the last weekend before Christmas!

Great place to eat, drink, and smoke your cigar. Stay and relax in an old world environment and they don’t throw you out.

Fabulous service throughout the evening. The bartender was professional and engaging. Angela served cocktails that were made to perfection. Dinner was just as perfect. Roberto was the consummate professional as well. He was attentive to our needs but never on top of us. Our dinner as well as the wine was outstanding. Truly a great experience throughout the entire evening.
