Better late than never with this backdated review--life has just been lifing!…read moreI finally made it to Artemis on July 22nd after fiending to go since January. There's actually a hilarious story behind why I went. I was originally supposed to have a date that night, but let's be real: you'd think a 61-year-old man would know better than to take a 47-year-old woman to Dave & Buster's. I canceled the night before, dolled myself up the day of, and decided to take myself out instead. Best decision ever. The joint is dimly lit. But your eyes wind up adjusting. It's got a great vibe. Definitely excellent for a date night. The bartenders here are absolute rockstars. I started with a Painkiller. Even though it's no longer on the menu, they whipped it up for me anyway--and hey, it definitely relieved my pain, lol! Next, I tried a Corpse Reviver just because it had absinthe in it. It was different, but I really enjoyed it. Naturally, I had to finish with my signature drink, a Cosmopolitan, because I am the Black Carrie Bradshaw of Long Island. And it did not disappoint. The eats: I got the charcuterie board--fancy and bougie, just like me--and wrapped up the night with the brownie à la mode for dessert. Drowning my troubles in sweets is a must when the Long Island dating pool is an absolute wasteland, lmao. Did I want to spend my night around teenagers, kids, and skee-ball? HELL NO! I wanted a grown-and-sexy speakeasy vibe, and Artemis delivered. 5/5 stars--would 100% recommend!

I've been to Artemis a few of times now, and I really love this place. The atmosphere is probably…read moremy favorite part. It's got that intimate, speakeasy vibe that makes it feel a little different from your typical bar. The cocktails are creative, unique, and really well made. It's fun trying something new each time. My only minor complaint is that the menu can be a little difficult to read, especially in the dim lighting. Other than that, it's a fantastic spot for cocktails and a night out. I'll definitely be back!

Gotta love Laundromat…read more Definitely where you want to come for a party vibe in Morristown. They always have a live band and every time I've come in the band is fabulous and really brings the energy. The bar area is large so it's never hard to get a drink or find a space to stand and out hangout. And of course, a very cool concept since this is a basement bar that is literally underneath a laundromat. For a fun night out in Morristown with live music you absolutely can't go wrong.

The vibe is relaxed and chill, the food is top notch, the craft cocktails are out of this world, and our Bartender / Mixologist James was the perfect host for an evening we'll never forget.

I feel like I should be wearing a black slinky dress and a fascinator, holding the arm of a gent wearing an ascot. It's fancy, but also fun here. But the MUSIC that they pipe in (I think it's Spotify, but not sure) is just wrong. During a recent visit we went from Taylor Swift to Cyndi Lauper to some other lame pop and it was just so out of place. A little jazz, or even smooth jazz, mellow pop, some R&B would make this place quite a gem. Maybe the owners will try to mix it up a bit?

We ordered an Expresso Martini (Vodka) and a Bees Knees Cocktail (Gin). Dario brought our drinks to our table. The cocktails were so yummy! SCD only sells chips and other related snacks. Best to eat before you arrive. Overall, Silk City Distillery has remained consistent since my last visit. Extras: - All alcohol is made at the distillery. - Distillery tours are available by appointment. - SCD has some hilarious Tee Shirts for sale. - 2 Restrooms on the premises. - Adjoining Ghost Hawk Brewery shares a small parking lot with SCD. Street parking is available too.

There are few places left that still carry the quiet pulse of history. Murphy's Tavern is one of…read morethem. You walk down the old steps and the air changes cooler, darker, with the scent of wood and whiskey soaked into the walls. It feels honest, like a place built for men and women who have seen enough of the world to appreciate something simple and true. The story on the wall tells of Prohibition and rumrunners, of Mary Murphy and the river that once hid her secrets. You can still feel that in the glass you hold. The On a Yacht bourbon cocktail has the right burn, softened with mint and peach, the kind that lingers like a good memory. The Blackberry Bramble is bright and sharp, a summer night in a tumbler. You don't come to Murphy's for polish or pretense. You come because it feels alive, because the ghosts of the past sit quietly beside you, raising a glass in approval. A tavern like this doesn't chase the world it waits for those who still know how to listen.

I recently decided…read moreto come here for a wedding anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service and the food quality. Started off with oysters, wine and fresh bread. I could tell that the butter was house made and asked for extra because it was that good. Had the beef duo as the main course. I found it to be satisfying and also much better value than the steak frites. All of the items I received were very detail oriented and as well as fresh. We were seated on one side on the restaurant that I believe was blocked off for more special occasions. The other side of the restaurant seemed to have tables placed more closely to one another. Our server consistently checked on us throughout the night to make sure we were okay. Overall I was very satisfied with the service that I received here as well as with the food.

Cool atmosphere, great energy, and good food! I also got super lucky with Hailey as my waitress. She sold me on just about every item on the menu... to the point where I completely handed over the decision-making to her. Yup, that's right, I told her what I liked and trusted her to pick my three dishes. And listen, when your name is on the menu for crafting a cocktail, I'm going to trust you to pick my meal too! Now for the food: the grilled octopus was amazing. Great flavor, perfect texture, and a really nice balance with the lentils. The shishito peppers were delicious, and the sauce that came with them added the perfect pop of flavor. The beet salad, however, was a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, it didn't have much flavor, so that one left me a bit disappointed. And then there was dessert. Oh man! Hailey did it again. She brought out the sweet corn cheesecake. Sounds weird, I know, but I had to try it. And yes, it definitely had sweet corn! It was a little too weird for my taste buds, but I'm glad I tried it.... Then came the Madeleines. Bite-sized, warm, and absolutely delicious. Fair warning: if you don't tell them to take the bowl away, you WILL eat the entire thing. Man oh man...so good!!! Overall, a really fun experience with a great atmosphere, good food, and a waitress who genuinely made the experience memorable. Kudos to Hailey for the great service and for knowing exactly what to recommend! She definitely made my night.

I think they…read moreare famous for their omakase at dinner time.. so we just want to try it out and see what it is like.. We went right when they open.. and they have a small parking lot behind the building so parking might turn into an issue if there are more people? The staff was nice, so you order at the counter and then you sat down and they will bring the food to you.. the place wasn't crazy big.. I would say maybe 4 tables or so and chair by the counter? They do have different kind of bubble tea so if you like.. the lunch menu was small, maybe they really put their focus on dinner? I ordered the salmon don, and my friends both ordered the chirachi don.. To be honest, the food took a while to come.. and the portion was ok.. I was hoping the fish was bigger, but then I guess it's lunch.. they also gave us a roll on the house while we were waiting.. the food taste good.. nothing too crazy, but I guess I have to come back for dinner to see if the hype is real..
