Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Mountain Lakes

Manager Mark an absolute gentleman and very accommodating with our group running late due to the inclement weather and Asia who was awesome. Asia had extensive knowledge of the many drink options which helped us decide what beer and drink options to choose from. It was an absolute pleasure visiting J&R Cigar again.

Best dinner we’ve ever had in NJ! From the food all the down to the ambiance, it was incredible! We absolutely loved being seated in the old train cart; it felt so romantic! We went for Valentine’s Day and had a prix fixe menu. For the appetizers, we had the The Grille’s Signature Crab Bisque and Caprese. Entrees, we had the Chateaubriand Bouquetiere and Rod’s New York Prime Sirloin Steak. For dessert, we both chose the cheesecake. We will be back!

It’s our first time at this place, even though we’ve been seeing it for over two decades. In short, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, as it was light but very flavorful - not as salty as we thought we’d get from almost any Italian restaurant we’ve been to, some of which are very good in their own right. However, this lightness in taste stood out, be it the prosciutto in the salad or the clams in pasta. We’ll come back for sure.

We love celebrating birthdays with friends here. The drinks, appetizers, salads, bread, entrees, and desserts are all fabulous! The ambiance is dark and cozy, and the service is always terrific!

We had a good experience. The food was good and the atmosphere was also good. The wine list is limited but the options represented the major regions. Overall, I encourage everyone to try Parkside Tavern for an high quality Tavern experience.
