Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Maplewood

J Gilbert’s never has disappointed. The food was delicious and prepared as ordered. The wine was a treat — especially as it was half-price Sunday. Our waiter, Jake, was fantastic. Total experience was A+

Great place friendly staff I recommend making a reservation. It gets really full fast But you won't be disappointed

This weekend evening at dinner time when the local baseball game was on-going should have provided personalized and individualized care. However, with one bartender and one server (I so no food runner or assistants or managers either) the service was slow. When it happened, the server was marginal but the bartender, Toni, was absolutely fabulous! She not only made you feel welcome and appreciated, she made the BEST Paper Plane in the Universe! The mix of doos that we selected was well presented and tasty. The menu however is very small and Pennydrop is more of an upscale bar with a small bar menu as opposed to a full service restaurant with an amazing bar. When the baseball game finished and a crowd from the game flowed in, the service slowed even further and lines at the bar were much longer. With a few more staff members, the experience would have been maximized. Regardless of this, I will be back for my next Paper Plane before I head out of town.

We had a great evening celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday with our friends. The staff were amazing and very attentive to our needs for the group.
