Celebrated my birthday with a couple of my friends at Ninety Acres. I'm a foodie so good food is a must, Ninety Acres didn't disappoint. We tried the Bring Me Food option. It was a three hour experience and very filling. The waiters was friendly, knowledge and on top of drink refill and clean utensils. The chef presented each dish and modifications were made for my vegetarian friend. The portions is small but by the time you get to the fifth course, you start getting full. Overall, the meal was very tasty, one course I didn't like was the cheese course. But not a huge smelly cheese person, my friends like it however. By dessert course, we were stuffed! Highly recommend light meals during the day so to have room dinner. It was a great experience and worth the money. read more

For dinner we sat in the area right next to the bar. It was early on a Friday evening and service was great plus things never got too loud where we had any trouble holding a conversation. The food was wonderful. I had a tomato salad special that was perfect and the salmon I had off of the regular menu was great too. It was nice to see a flight of beers on the drink menu and they where different enough to thoroughly enjoy bouncing back and forth between tastes. The odd thing of the night was ordering sparkling water for the table but having it served warm -- yes, warm. Not sure what that is about but to be complete with the comment we did not ask either. read more

Went here for the first time a few weeks ago. I was hoping it would be similar to the Blue Hill in Tarrytown. Not quite.... Food was great. Atmosphere was gorgeous. Not very busy when we were there (Fri night @ 9pm) Prices were actually pretty reasonable. read more

We were there for a private group culinary lesson where we then ate the food that we helped prepare. Based on our experience that night I venture to say that the restaurant is probably amazing. The butternut squash soup was the best butternut squash I ever had. Everything was so fresh. Our dual main courses of steak and salmon were super tasty. The vegetables, especially the beets, were just as good as the mains. I didn't have dessert but others did and loved it too. The grounds are amazing and our servers were wonderful too! read more

Great service, meal, and wine list. Told the chef to surprise me and was treated to a wonderful vegan meal of beet salad, and fresh mushrooms, quinoa, and other perfectly cooked seasonal vegetables. read more

The setting is beautiful in the rolling hills of peapack. The wine list is extensive and the food is phenomenal. My favorite appetizer is the grilled octopus. They have a huge garden we're so many of the items are grown and cultivated there. If I had to say something negative it is that the wait staff wears jeans. It is not a tgif or pizza place and the staff should be dressed appropriately read more

Atmosphere so high end. Good tries to hard and often sounds amazing and is mediocre for the price. Cooking classes are great but expensive.

This restaurant is absolutely sublime, everything is done to perfection. I took my wife here on our very first date and six years later I took her again for a less pleasant reason. One of the things I love about 90 acres is that the property really makes a statement. When you take a date there they know you have rolled out the red carpet for them. The property is absolutely magnificent, the long and winding driveway up the sprawling hill to the mansion where the restaurant is located it's quite impressive. The service is fantastic from the valet parking to the wait staff and everything in between. read more

The hype from friends was spot-on. I took my wife here on 6/21 for our anniversary dinner, and we both loved the service, ambience and food. To start, we sat in the bar area, which a friend suggested for being quieter (you can request this when making a reservation). The bread was fresh and warm and butter soft. Our drinks were light and refreshing, thanks to the house gin. Not being big eaters, we started light but didn't need more than sharing the Polenta with asparagus, Beet fettucini and Salmon. Each was beautifully presented and a joy to eat! The seasonal key lime pie paired perfectly with coffee, but my wife opted for the remarkable Cappuccino Creme Brûlée Caramel (OMG). Full but not quite stuffed, we walked around the restaurant and ended up on the patio, hoping for an after-dinner drink. Unfortunately no one came to ask what we'd like, so we headed home to pay the babysitter and pass out. What a wonderful anniversary dinner! (Dined 6/21/2012) read more

This review is being done on behalf of my father who attended the Octoberfest this past Sunday 9/26/22 for a party of 6. They were totally underwhelmed by the presentation of the food and beer they had provided. The amount of beer provided was small in proportion and lacked variety. They didn't have an offering of draft beer. All beers were in cans. The selections of meats offered were ordinary and uneventful. They may as well have gone to a Shoprite deli and purchased the quality meats if not better! We have been a long time customer and have had large functions in 90acres. Our entire family was deeply disappointed with the lack of class that was presented. Sooooooo disappointed and dismayed. read more

Popped in here at night, so didn't actually get a chance to see the grounds well - the winding road up is probably more interesting in the daytime when you can look out over the water or grounds. Deer stopped in the middle of the road, keeping us on hold for a minute as they brazenly decided to stare at the car for a while - no fear of humans. At the front, valet parking in the loop and walk into what felt like a modern ski lodge with gas fireplaces and furniture out of an art catalog like Modani or Lazzoni. Small bar to the right as you enter, some seating in low tables, and the dining area to the left. Staffers at the front picked up the coat check and directed to the table. Open kitchen which was interesting if you could catch a glimpse; the bench seating was a little low for that, and was misused (you could have made it more of a focal point to engage the diners, but was set too high and far back with obstacles in the way for a good view. Though they tried to make it feel more natural with wood colored veneers and decor, there was still something very clean and new about the place (maybe once it seasons it'll feel more like a farm-to-table kind of sustainable place). On the whole, felt superbly clean and modern. They also do cooking lessons here from what I heard, along with the normal wedding/catering/parties. Extensive wine list (as expected from a Richard Branson location) and a display by the bar, with a good local beer list, too, mostly from Brooklyn though they had some from abroad. I had a 6pt from the tap which was cool and refreshing. Food was a prix fixe menu, with an appetizer, main and dessert. We had a big square table for the group - for those of us sitting at the corners, it was uncomfortable (knocking knees on the table legs) and the chairs were flat, no support and felt almost Ikea-like (though sturdier) which was ok for the first half of the dinner but grew to be more uncomfortable as time extended for the roughly three hours we spent there. Bread on the table was ok, if you like the dry harder outer crust with a softer inner crust kind of breads, though the flatbread with Parmesan was far too salty. Butter available on the table, no olive oil. Appetizer tried the garganelli (house made) with root vegetables, they source everything locally so winter means a lot of root veggies. The pasta was overcooked leaving me with soggy pasta and while I liked the slightly larger size, others noted it was a bit large of a portion for most. My main course, the eye of rib (their words, not ours) didn't taste nearly as sweet (unlike other pasture-fed beef I'd had in the past) as I'd expected; the beef's taste was flat and bland, like I'd bought it out of the supermarket. A little mushroom in broth added flavor that was great, but too little to help the dish along. The green beans tasted like they were quick boiled and completely unseasoned leaving it as bland as the steak. The mashed potatoes were ok, could have used more of that mushroom wine sauce (well mashed though, consistency was fine grained and no lumpiness). Dessert I had the buttercake which was too sweet for me but was well-done, felt as heavy as the other option, a chocolate flour-less cake. The buttercake crunch was nice and the peach jam side texture well-done as a mix, and fortunately the vanilla ice cream nicely saved the meal's end by cleansing the palate of the heaviness and closed out the meal well. Service was good - jackets and showing to the table, keeping water refilled and drinks up over the night, and tipped the review in favor of 3 instead of a 2 (somewhere around a 2.6 overall) because of the succinct and honest review of the food selections from our head server. Her clear opinion of the chicken was on-point and refreshing. Overall, an interesting experience, and if you didn't grow up near farmland like I did, you might be more enthusiastic about seeing nature -- more impressive for for those who grew up in the city, I think. I appreciate nature, but to go to this spot to see it, particularly if you do a prix fixe, could offer you disappointment as I was last night. Hoping the next time I go here we can try some other dishes like the mac & cheese, scallops, or octopus and see the versatility and flexibility in the menu. Others compare this as a junior experience vs Blue Hill in the city, so will have to try that next time. read more

The food was consistent, but overall just okay. We appreciated the freshness of the ingredients, but found it overpriced for quality. Great ambiance in the restaurant. read more

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful. If you are going to splurge, this is the place to do it. The property is absolutely magnificent, and the long and winding driveway up the sprawling hill to the mansion where the restaurant is located definitely makes an impression. Service was wonderful; valet, waiters, and everyone in between were polite and attentive to our every need. Our meals were delicious and cooked to perfection - the king salmon and trout roe were perfect. We learned there is a culinary school adjacent to the property that offers cooking classes, which we will definitely be back for. A really special experience for a date night. read more

First off I must say every course we had was excellent. Now for the down side, I've eaten at many upscale restaurants where portions are on the small side. Ninety Acres takes this to the limit. My wife had a gnocchi course: ten gnocchi! Not the big gnocchi cut off a sausage sized log, small finger rolled gnocchi! I had scallops, TWO scallops, TWO! Next course my wife had what I'll call micro-salmon, a piece of fish the size of a 9 volt battery. I had grits or polenta, maybe 3 tablespoons with a sliced up mushroom. My friend had a steak about three inches in diameter and half an inch thick. Dessert was a fair size. Now I know why I hadn't been back there in nine years. After $420 per couple I had to go home and make a sandwich! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! My husband and I cannot wait to come back here. This was our first dining experience and we went all in; chef's prix fixe menu + wine pairing. Overall, we ended up getting 10 plates of food (3 apps, 2 pasta dishes, 2 entrees + 1 side, 2 desserts) and 4 wine pairings. Great deal for the price, in my opinion. They started us off with scallops, carrot & endive salad, and an egg dish with butternut squash and cauliflower. Then we were served this pasta with cheese in it that was delicious and another pasta with mushrooms. For our entree, we had goat, skate and a side of kimchi brussels sprouts. For dessert, we had a coconut dish and a chocolate cheesecake. Everything was simply delicious. We loved the atmosphere, the staff was great. We sat in the room near the kitchen, so that was fun to see. We liked the first 2 wines we were serviced, but the red and dessert wine weren't our favorites. Still, it didn't take away from our experience. We absolutely want to come back here in the spring and fall when the leaves are budding and changing color! read more

The only thing special about this place were the grounds. Cool modern open kitchen plays well with the old school vibes otherwise. Very beautiful estate that dishes out solid but not amazing food. Did a tasting menu with some added meats and cheeses and was kind of dissapointed. The meats and cheeses were good; the risotto wasn't; the fore gras was overpowered by the apple flavor they put in it and the wagyu didn't look or taste like wagyu. Not to say it was bad; but for the price and inconvenience of being out in the middle of nowhere you could do better. read more

Five out of five. In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in all of New Jersey. We have had the opportunity to dine in here three times and every time was such a pleasure and excitement to be a part of. The BMF (Bring Me Food) is a fun way to try new things and meet the chef's who inspire the dishes at the same time. In addition to the food, the restaurant also offers cooking school classes which are a top notch to experience the property's farm to table foods, while learning about and eating everything you make. read more

Having gone to most of the best restaurants in NJ , ninety acres is still at the top of my list. Not sure how anyone can find an issue with anything here. Yes it's pricey, but that goes towards the quality of what you are getting. Been here several times over the years. Always a great meal. Service is beyond great from the valets to the bartender to the girls at the hostess counter to our host Jose who always makes an appearance and always remembers us. The food is awesome. If you haven't gone here, go for it. Everyone there works very hard to make it great on every level. Some of the complaints I see on here are laughable at best. I get a feeling any bad reviews are left by either cheap diners who use Groupon everywhere or old goats who are used to pizzaria restaurant or diner food. This place is in a class by itself. Best in NJ. read more

Outstanding! We had been told this establishment was amazing but of course, we had to find out for ourselves. From the moment you begin the long drive from your home to their front door, I can tell you, it is worth every penny you are about to spend. It certainly isn't cheap, but great food rarely is. Our drive was over an hour one way, and we will do it again. Every single thing about this restaurant embodies perfection. The valets are professional, the hosts are accommodating. But if you think it ends there... Oh no! They're not done impressing you. Our servers were absolutely outstanding and they brought us amazing food. We enjoyed the sommelier's choice of wine, their homemade cheese crisps, bread, appetizers, entrees, sides, dessert and don't forget the creme brule cappuccino!! Okay... We loved everything they brought! Our next trip is their Bring Me Food table. We are going with six people and cannot wait! Reservations are important but if you can't get one ask about the tables in their bar area. They are beautiful as well and you still get to enjoy the culinary masterpiece they are about to bestow upon you. Read other reviews that are 5 stars... They were right. read more

What a beautiful setting, the drive up through the park to get to the establishment was special. The place it self for me has a mystery about it. Had the "Bring Me Food" for $105 and it was just ok, I would never order this way again. Way over priced for what you don't get on the plate. I remember having some kind of fish app that had no taste to it, so I asked the server for some wasabi and soy sauce, guess what they could not accommodate me because they did not have any, I was in shock. The servers were young and tried their best but they fall short. read more

One of my favorite places in New Jersey. I've only eaten at the lounge and bar area, which is a cozier scene for me and reminds me a lot of Napa, California where I am originally from. Everything I've eaten here, including coctails, I have enjoyed and would order again! Friendly service, although getting attention at the lounge may be difficult if the bar tenders are busy. The outdoor area is really nice too! Complete with fire pit! read more

I was expecting to love this place. I mean, the reviews are amazing. Maybe we ordered wrong. The salads and starts were delicious. We ordered the signature steak for the table and it was very subpar. No sear, no flavor, and came out overcooked. For $110 I was expecting more. I was also expecting the server to recognize the error and at least try to correct it. Instead we drove 45 minutes to eat a flavorless over-cooked steak. The rest of the meal was just standard. read more

Today was my second visit here and I have to say this experience was even better than the first. I was treated by my sister in laws to celebrate my 40th birthday. I had the opportunity to enjoy the Chefs tasting menu and I was impressed with each and every dish. I was expecting smaller bites but was happy they weren't. Each dish was served and the Chef would come to the table and explain the components of each and every dish. Each having its own unique ingredients and delicious flavors. I liked how everything was slightly spaced out so you could enjoy each dish . The staff was very friendly and the Chefs enthusiasm as the brought each dish made this experience even more enjoyable. I would I got to enjoy dishes I probably would never think to order . Fried blowfish was delicious and definitely not what I expected. Raw fluke with a medley of thinly sliced radish and cucumbers along with a slightly citrus sauce ( similar to a ceviche). Venison was cooked to perfection with no lingering gamey taste. The Ramen with this creamy broth and a egg yolk left me wanting more!! The prosciutto salad was delicious and had so many different unique flavors as u took each bite. Now the desserts were definitely out of the box. The panna cotta had a corn taste which was delicious and the Brie and strawberry jam were a perfect pair. Now the tiniest little corn muffins were so delicious. I will definitely make my way back here to enjoy what the Chef has in store next time . read more

Let me start by saying I was very skeptical about coming here! My husband & I reviewed the menu prior and didn't really see anything that we wanted or "sounded normal." I cannot express how glad I am that we ended up coming here!! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was phenomenal! Drinks were all on point, the bread and butter was to die for! The soft shell crab, the meat and cheese board, the foie gras, the scallops and pork belly, the wagyu beef, the short ribs... ALL PHENOMENAL! Some of these things we've never had before but I am sure glad we tried. If you're on the fence, just do it! You're welcome! read more

Very expensive and it's location is truly breathtaking. However, the food was served lukewarm and in minuscule portions. It's depressing how the more one pays for a meal the less of it you receive. Too much emphasis has been placed on presentation and not enough on quality and quantity. The service was fair and the wine steward was terrible. He poured a second corked wine into our glasses before we were finished ruining any remaining wine. You can expect to pay over $100 per person not including wine. Not worth the drive. read more

I called a few days earlier to confirm that the patio would be open and we were told that they are still serving outdoors weather permitting, seating is on a first come first served basis (no reservations) and they open at 5. We arrived at the dot of 5 and aside from the couple that walked in behind us, we were the first guests in the building. We approached the hostess and she explained that the patio is closed but since we called and were told otherwise, they would accommodate us. She said that the service would be a little slow, and they need another 15 minutes to setup. She suggested that we get a drink at the bar, relax on the patio and they would come get us shortly. After a half hour of watching other guests arrive and get seated on the patio, I approached the hostess. She explained that out "reservation" was at 5:15, so it has only been 15 minutes, and that they would seat us shortly. After another 15 minites of more of the same, and facing the prospect of slow service once seated we decided to leave. I spoke to the Manager on our way out to let him know of our disappointment. To my surprise he told me that there were multiple "reservations" ahead of us but they were putting our "reservation" ahead of others to accommodate us shortly. I told him again that we were the first in the building and we were dining outside and I got the same response but this time it was just a little more snarky. We left, went down the street to Il Monello and had a wonderful meal. read more

The scenery and service were great, but the food was average at best. Pasta, peppers, and overcooked fish. Nothing special for over $400 for three people. Would not recommend, terrible value. read more

We went to dinner at Ninety Acres on 11/2 for our 20th wedding anniversary celebration. This has been our tradition for the past 8+ years. We were very disappointed. The main dining room was so loud you could barely hear one another speak. The normally superb waitstaff couldn't be found for most of the night beginning with even taking our order. The food was mediocre at best. We shared the crab hush puppies appetizer and both had the pork entree. We would've had dessert if we hadn't been there two hours already for one appetizer and entree and couldn't wait another hour to order and be served dessert. This was our go to celebratory splurge that we looked forward to attending each time and would always recommend enthusiastically. Not only won't we recommend, we won't return. So sad to say this. It would've been a one star review if not for the beautiful building and grounds (despite the putrid smell of rotten eggs at the entrance, which should've been our cue to leave). read more

I've been waiting months to try this restaurant that friends have raved about. We initially had a reservation for my birthday in March but due to COVID had to reschedule and we did. Since 90 Acres is an hour away we reserved a room at hotel close by for the night. My husband wore a suit and I in a dress; when we walked in some patrons wore jeans, others had hoodies, while some had suits. Very strange. We should have known this place wasn't going to live up to its compliments, when the hostess sat us a wobbly table for 2 next to the front door. We asked to move and she told us she had no other tables available. She was rude and unaccommodating. Next, we ordered our drinks. My husband asked for a non spiced rum and coke. She came back with a spiced/coconut rum. When we asked if they carried Bacardi, she left and after 15 minutes came back "We just got it today." Moving on to the apps, HORRIBLE. We were charged 30$ extra dollars for caviar on the tuna app. The tuna was OKAY but 3 small pieces of caviar, really?? The calamari and shrimp app, was sweet and the calamari wasn't fresh. The steak tartar app was lacking... hardly any meat and the steak was topped with crispy onions. Why ruin a raw meat app with crispy onions? We ordered the barrata and that was hard. We ordered the deconstructed caesar that was cold and only had parmesan. No dressing. Nothing. Super DRY. The scallop app... Two small scallops with a few brussel sprout leaves... I passed on dinner. My husband ordered the rigatoni and that came out cold. Not to mention it was tasteless. ALL AROUND THIS PLACE WAS HORRIBLE. It was so bad my husband and I didn't even stay the night in Peapeck. We drove home so disappointed and frustrated after spending 250$ for SHIT. We lost our money for the hotel room too The staff was rude. The food SUCKED and the ambiance lacking. I don't think you could pay me to return ... Seriously. read more

i have always loved the natirar park and i've wanted to eat at 90 acres for a long time. i came here to spend a lot of money on dinner as a way to celebrate eliminating a gigantic debt i'd carried for years. nothing says "going debt free" to immediately spending a ton of money on something frivolous. but whatever. i paid in cash. the tuna and yellowfish crudo appetizer with the jalapeno was so good. i loved it, and was not pleased about sharing 50% of it with my boyfriend. we got the prix fix for $75, and my octopus first course was perfectly cooked. my seocn course of red snapper was out of this world and my third course of the waygu beef was okay. certainly not the the best steak i ever had. i tried my boyfriend's first course, he had the bolognese with penne and it was amazing. he had scallops as a second course, they tasted good. he also had the waygu. what i didn't like was the steak knife. i know, the horror. it was so dull it made cutting my very tender meat very difficult. and the wait staff was bizarre. i'm sorry, they were very young, and a little creepy. i was in my conversation with my boyfriend several times when one of my many servers (we had 5 at least) legit would pop up, like, from behind a plant, and ask if we needed anything. yeah hon, some privacy. they were nice though. it was just weird. valet dudes were quick and the view at sunset was very pretty, so sit by the windows if you can. read more

I came here for my law school graduation dinner expressly to try the Bring Me Food. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance and called the preceding week to inform the restaurant that one of the diners did not eat meat. Imagine my surprise when they informed me that BMF was a separate dining room with a separate reservation system! Well, nowhere on OpenTable does it say that when you're making the reservation so not a good move there. My original reservation was for 6 PM (knowing how long tasting menus take) but they could only fit us at 8:45 for the BMF. I must say that really ticked me off because such poor web site design is something that should be fixed, and I notice it still hasn't. When we arrived we had to wait so we opted to sit in the back and have a drink. There was only one empty table with dirty dishes on it so we scooped it up. It took awhile for our orders to be taken and even longer for the dishes to be cleared. We were seated about 20 minutes late with no comp offers which I think should start after 15 minutes since that's usually how long a restaurant will hold your table. After that, however, everything was wonderful. We opted for the wine pairing, too which was decent but not very creative. The food was very good albeit a bit vanilla with the ingredients which could be because they try to source a lot from NJ. The service was fine but a little inexperienced/disorganized feeling when requesting items or inquiring about dishes. Overall, the experience was decent but maybe I was expecting a little more and maybe I was expecting a little too much of them. It's certainly much more affordable than say Blue Hill but I also feel Blue Hill is more than just a caliber above Ninety Acres so the phrase you get what you pay for applies even to restaurants of this level. I wouldn't rush back when there are so many options in NYC but I wouldn't say no to giving it another shot. read more

Went here for our anniversary and the food was good NOT great. The Jersey Girl Burrata was a very nice appetizer. Local tomatoes and peaches. My dinner was the smoked pork rack which was $56. Now for $56 dollars the pork should be perfect. It wasn't. It was a bit dry and tough. My wife got the scallops and I tried them. They were good and she liked them as well. This was our first time and I'd hesistste to go back only because of the prices. When you're paying read more
