Haven't dined in yet because of Covid, but have brought home steaks several times from their butcher shop. All I can say is - OUTSTANDING! I can not wait for them to cook them for us. read more

The Mohawk House is amazing! I had my bridal shower here and it was perfection. The location is gorgeous and the decor is beautiful! Everyone loved the food, because it was amazing and Jason and Mark were great!!! Bellinis and Mimosas were flowing and it was really a memorable day. As I said, absolutely gorgeous!! All the pictures came out beautiful because the place is beautiful. Over all, we had so many compliments for how wonderful the shower was and we were so happy with everything! Thanks Mohawk House!! Special thanks to Jason and Mark again!!! read more

We have loved this restaurant for years. We had gone this Christmas Eve and it was horrible! I understand all their efforts are going towards the new restaurant then dont be open at all if you're not going to still put your love into it. My family and I were put into a drafty corner where it felt like we were sitting outside. We didn't even bother to take our coats off. I thought ok thats just a small fumble then dinner came. Our steak came out room temperature and our sides were cold, not even a little warm. We didn't want to get the staff mad or perhaps have a chef spit in our food so we declined to have it taken back. This is not the dining experience we expected and we were all extremely disappointed having spent a hefty price for food that was subpar to say the least. Sadly, we will not be returning to Mohawk house. It's very depressing bc we loved it so much in the past. I guess not all good things can last forever. read more

First time here. I'll give you the bullets. Service : cavalier Food prices : 25-40 % higher based on the serving size they give you. (carpaccio at $15 is high with very small portion.) other places have it at 10-13 Ambiance : props there -relaxing and casual I guess you pay for what you get. I will certainly give it a second shot. The crowd seems nice. read more

This is the place I love, but hate to love! Decor: Rustic, with a touch of elegance. Atmosphere: The dining room is very relaxing and comfortable. The bar is comfortable, but sometimes full of "Desperate Housewife" wannabes. Service: Exceptional in the dining room. Horrific in the bar. Food Quality: Fantastic! I have never been disappointed in my food at The Mohawk House. I especially love their cheese courses, steak and gruyere au gratin potatoes- seriously, these potatoes are possibly my favorite item on any menu in all of NJ. If eating in the bar area, the pizzas are yummy and cheap during happy hour. Food Portions: On the smaller side considering the price. But plenty to fill your belly. Drinks: Excellent beer variety! Delicious, but limited martini list. BIG $$$$$$. Price: This part is hard. Let's put it this way... it's too expensive to eat here on a regular basis. But not too expensive to rule out for special occasions. I'd LOVE to make The Mohawk House a place we ate at 2-4 times a month, but the price makes it a 2-3 times a year kinda place. What I would Change: I am a HUGE fan of salads. If I am going to pay $20+ for an entree I want a salad included. Even if it's just a little plate of baby greens with shredded carrots and a house vinaigrette. I'd also get better service at the bar! The bartendars are TERRIBLE (in regards to service)! read more

Love love love this restaurant! I am so glad Sparta has a place like this, where we can get NYC quality food with the New Jersey service ;) Food is great, place looks beautiful, servers are friendly. prices are reasonable... What else do you want? read more

Loved the ambiance. It was the perfect place for an extended evening with friends. Great meal, craft cocktails then on to the dance floor! It was perfect. Loved the fact that they make cocktails with local organic ingredients... hoping it's the same with the food too. It was all around delicious. Great service as well.... read more

Very nice rest with a great beer selection. Bit on the pricy side, but the food was fresh. I had the scallops, which were good. As expected the portion was small. I was also there with a group of loud guys, and they still treated us well. I would go back for the right occasion. read more

Amazing food and service coupled with the best local ingredients. You'll be glad you drove here no matter how far. Our server, Amanda, was outstanding and didn't miss a single thing, even with our extensive list of food sensitivities. read more

Mohawk House - Dinner ambiance - New American Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

If you live in the Sparta area, this is the place to go. Steven and Rachel the owners spared no expense in the design and ambience of this gem. The staff is excellent and amazingly knowledgeable on the myriad of craft beers they sell. If you're really into cocktails the bar is manned by trained mixologists including Anthony and Kasey who can make you a very special drink based upon the spirit that you want. Love the fact that they serve beer from local breweries in the Claremont vodka which is new to New Jersey. If you like vodka martinis ask for the hand stuff to blue cheese olives. The personal pizzas are spectacular and this is a fantastic place to host an event. If you're reading this review and have never been to the Mohawk house it is definitely worth going and keep in mind you can ask for the bar menu regardless of where you were seated. read more

My boyfriend and I have never been here before so we decided to go for Valentine's Day. What a mistake - we ended up waiting to valet our car for 30 minutes on the side of the road and had an 8 o'clock reservation. I called to let them know we were going to be late due to their valet problem at 8:05 and the hostess didn't seem concerned at all and acknowledged she knew it was busy. It wasn't until we got closer to the doors where we saw the parking lot looking like a jeep dealership and cars parked on top of the hill nearly at a vertical angle almost touching each other. That's when I decided there was no way I was even going to let my boyfriend valet the car and then began to think about trying to get out of the situation once we were done with dinner, there was just no way. This place was a joke lastnight and it's plain rude to over book like that. We chose Mohawk House bc they didn't make you do a prix fix on vday and bc we've heard great things but I won't go back. It's horrible to put anyone through that stress even your staff when people expect a stress free evening. read more

I definitely enjoy visiting and eating at the Mohawk House! Awesome beer selection and great menu, not to mention the atmosphere. First time I visited we sat outside after a hike! Next two times I've been there I sat the bar.. next time I think I will try a table! Very cute place and would definitely recommend trying it out. read more

No question. The food is good and the place is nice, but the Stone Water at Lake Hopatcong is a far better experience. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, the INCREDIBLE view and no attitude from the owner are just a few of the things that make it a much better choice than the Mohawk House. read more

This was one of our favorite restaurants... but has sadly disappointed us on our last 3 visits! I ordered the duck special and it was grizzled and fatty. The drinks were almost doubled in price because we asked for ice and then the attitude of the so called manager was insulting! When I am paying top dollar for a meal I expect top notch quality & service. read more

Quite expensive, but you do not have to order a dinner. We had a few appetizers, ice tea and dessert and everything was first class. The Mohawk House itself is just magnificent, the staff was ultra friendly and helpful. We had a fun Sunday afternoon enjoying the ambiance of the Mohawk House and not spending too much money. read more

seriously, best food in Sussex county fantastic building! not in-expensive, but you get a great meal - unlike any other read more

This was my second time there and it was just as bad as the first time!!! The service is horrible!!! You can't get a bartenders/servers attention and when you do I got attitude!!! Really because I tip you so do your job without attitude!!! Also please bus the table!!!! I really don't like looking at the plates and the food that was not eaten. read more

My husband and I saw this restaurant on Google and fell in love with the pictures so we decided to go tonight (Saturday evening). Upon arrival they have valet only parking. I didn't mind, but thought that was interesting since there were dozens of spots. Anywho, we walked in and it was beautiful. There were maybe 10-15 tables in the restaurant, but it took about 7 minutes for a server to come to our table. Once she did, we thought hmm she's very short but no problem at all. When we looked on Google we saw a delicious burger and steak sandwich we had our eyes on, but the menu they gave us was super fancy and none of what we saw originally. We asked our server and she said that's the bar menu and brings it to us. From this point on, the service just got worse. She was so short. She rarely checked on us. Delivered our food with no words and walked away. Meanwhile, all the tables around us were having great rapport with their servers and it seemed like such a warm environment even though it was upscale. We assumed our server was upset we ordered off the bar menu, but we had no idea there were two menus. It was our first time there. The food was yummy and the ambiance was totally worth the hour drive we made. We heard another server explain to a nearby table that typically the bar menu is only served in the bar, but tonight they were allowing exceptions. This server was very, very friendly. All in all, the 2 stars was for the service. It wasn't fun to watch all the other tables get GREAT and FRIENDLY service and we were treated so cold. read more

Was so excited to come here. The prices do not justify the quality of the food. The lobster bisque was sugary and very thin with one piece of lobster, the crab cake tasted like it had sour cream! And no crab. Finally I ordered a steak (asking if they had A1) the steak comes and I wait , finally they bring sauce - hot and definitely not A1 -it was disgusting. So basically my meal alone was $85 and I ate possibly 4 bites. I didn't get dessert because at this point I don't think they could get a scoop of ice cream right. read more

Christmas night, after dining at the Mohawk House turned out to be one of the worst nights of my long life. After eating the Mushroom Soup which had little flavor, my stomach started to cramp. Thought it would pass. Was not able to enjoy my chicken entree at all. Besides it was dry as were my husbands pork chops as well. Things got worse with SEVERE pain that lasted for about 5 hours and subsided once all traces of that mushroom soup left my body. Yes, awful food poisoning. Sure this can happen in the best of places. What provoked me to write this review was the "could not care less" attitude we got from whomever answered the phone when we called to report this. In the midst of my pain, I asked my husband to call and let them know that they should not serve the soup. We were not looking for any compensation. Just wanted to put a stop to others getting sick. The Mohawk House charges big bucks for a fairly nice presentation of their dishes but beyond that they offer little in taste and portion size. A poor establishment food wise that hides behind the facade of a lovely building and fancy food descriptions in my opinion. They remind me of a little girl walking in her Mommy's high heels. Trying to act big. Just not there. read more

Love this place! The atmosphere is laid back and the drinks are great! We always have a fun waiting foe our table because the bar area is so nice. Steve and his wife are so wonderful and they are always around to greet the customers. Would highly recommend this restaurant read more

Don't waste your money and go elsewhere.....Waiters have attitudes along with cocky regulars....ordered 20oz dry aged cowboy steak medium rare, with warm red centers ....So of course here we go with another steakhouse that can't cook a steak...It was slight pink with white, medium to well done.....So the waiter eventually comes by and askes how the steak is,,I showed him and he didn't figure out what was wrong...So I explained it was to be med rare but its more like med well...he reluctantly orders another and it was brought out by different wait staff who dropped it and took off...now all my sides are cold...I cut into the meat and you can feel the knife trying to cut through what was a seared raw meat...cold to the touch...now the waiter comes by and says "that's better right?" I asked him if he was serious...he shrugged turned around and walked away...............Never again will I or anyone within earshot of me go there..... read more

Disappointing. Went for an early bird meal on Sunday. Apps were good. Steak sandwich and elk Burger were ordered medium rare, came out well done, ingredients missing from the Burger. Low quality fries. I get a much better quality meal for half this price at my local diner. read more

Needed a help with a minor problem. End it would've save the restaurant some money there's a very bad attitude and really refused to even consider it and then lied when they said they couldn't do it read more

We had our rehearsal dinner at Mohawk House. The food and service were excellent! We selected the wine and beer option for drinks - the selection was great. I had the crab cake appetizer, short ribs entree, and creme brulee dessert. All of the food was excellent. Everyone was raving their meal. I would highly recommend Mohawk House for any event or just a regular night out for dinner. You will not be disappointed. read more

The building is so classy. Overwhelming, in a good way! So much attention to detail and such a great atmosphere. The bar and dining area are always packed whenever I go, which is a sign of a quality establishment. Every meal has been great, from a simple burger to something on their specials. All the staff have been super friendly. Such a unique place for Sussex County. read more

We used Mohawk House for our rehearsal dinner this past May and it was more than we had hoped for. The staff, location, food and ambiance exceeded expectations. We had a party of about 40 and each guest was taken care of. They even printed custom menus with our names on them! Such a cute touch. Each guest could pick options from what we were able to pick beforehand. The menu has a huge variety and each dish was delicious. The crab cake was so amazing. The outdoor space was perfect with the bocce ball and gorgeous views. Best part is, we planned this all from San Diego and never visited until that evening! Again, couldn't be happier with the staff there. The staff was very responsive through email and phone (including the 3 hour time difference and work schedules). Lake Mohawk Country club recommended them without skipping a beat. Overall, can't wait to be back to NJ to visit! read more

Went here recently for an early dinner and the food was out of this world. The lobster Mac and cheese was killer and I love the beautiful interior of the entire place! read more

Very nice atmosphere, nicely presented, good food but expensive for what you get. Lots of draft beer choices which makes the men happy.

Full disclosure, we went for my birthday soon after the hurricane while we had no power. ( It was our second visit after stopping at the bar for beer and snacks during happy hour: nice surprise.) The atmosphere, service and food were outstanding. They even offered us complimentary desserts when they found out about the blackout. We have been back since to visit the bar and have yet to be disappointed. read more

We had lunch there for my birthday Monday,March 9th. The host made sure the waiter knew it was my birthday,and they were very attentive. After lunch we were given a dessert menu. I decided to have the best birthday dessert ever, the chocolate molten cake. When to my surprise...the waiter arrived with a fig mousse with a candle and sang which was nice, but was never asked what we wanted for dessert and then he dropped the check with the fig mousse on the check. Why were we charged for something we didn't order and never asked for the dessert we wanted? Just disappointing. Not a good business move. read more

I LOVE this restaurant. From the minute you walk in you are greeted with smiles and the atmosphere is so comfortable. Then there's the food, I never go there without eating the mushroom soup!! Other favorites are the beet salad and the risotto, but I've never eaten anything I don't like there. Already thinking about what I will on my next visit. read more

My bf and I made a last minute reservation whilst seated at a terrible restaurant and the experience here can never be topped! Fantastic!

Always a culinary delight! This place is along the lines of your favorite restaurant in NYC, but here in our little town of Sparta!

My husband and I stopped in here on our way home from a craft show in Augusta so we were starving and in need of a drink. The restaurant was unusually busy due to a party on the patio out back, and we didn't want to wait for a table so we sat at the bar. It was only 5 pm and the bar was loud and even with three bartenders the service was bad. I will say the food we got was great, my husband got the filet mignon sandwich and I had a grilled chicken on some very good chibatta bread. Maybe if we hadn't been at the bar it would have been better but sounds like from other reviewers it's all the same no matter where you sit. The bartenders seem to want to talk rather than work, just a total frat scene. Can't say I'd go back or recommend, only if you're in the area or starving. read more

Easily in the top 3 of my favorite places to dine. No matter what you order on the menu, it will be fantastic. For example, I dont even like cauliflower but I knew because I was at Mohawk House I could order the cauliflower soup and it would be amazing and I was right. Everything down to their simple greens salad is just worth raving about. This Valentines Day we celebrated at Mohawk and it was packed (not surprised) and so our food took a little longer than usual (nothing ridiculous though) and our waiter was so nice and apologetic, he gave us dessert on the house for waiting longer than usual. Super happy about that because you cant eat here without getting dessert. If you're full, or just not a dessert person, think twice about passing one up after dinner. Their desserts are so worth it. read more

This place is so good, by far do they have the best food in Sparta. It's definitely expensive but worth it. The steaks are delicious, mash potatoes, seafood, and pizza. read more

It's fun. It's beautiful. It's tasty. It's affordable. It's fresh. Great beer selection. Built on great grounds. Parking lot is a nightmare but have valets on busy nights. read more

One star is generous. Atmosphere is decent. Food is terrible. The prices are definitely not worth eating here.

Buyer beware.....group of 16 professionals upstairs for a reunion. Food was good as they try to make a transition to a NY steak house with NY prices. Their bill paying protocol was a disaster. Each couple wanted to pay their share of a $1000 dinner, but they would only divide the total by 4 credit cards in equal amounts?? The manager was arrogant and told us his $50,000 credit card system could not be changed or bill by couple. It took a half hour to figure our bill. Large parties beware! Will not return! Here, the customer is wrong!!! read more
