90 Acres is decent but overpriced for what it is. The food is quite good but won't become the topic of the day. If you're looking for truly well-crafted cuisine, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a pretty location with high quality ingredients, 90 Acres is your place. I really wanted to love it, but I have had better many times. read more

Used to be a favorite of our family. However, the last few "holiday " dinners haven't been up to previous standards. Service has declined slightly, hosts are not as friendly as in the past. Hope they get back to previous standards as it such an attractive restaurant. read more

Amazing experience for my wife's birthday. The grounds and lead up path really set the expectations high and the place certainly did not disappoint. Beautiful layout once you walk in and the outside dining area was very nice. We got there early and had a drink where the servers were very personable and answered our questions about the estate and it's history. We sat for dinner to have a choice between a pri fixe menu or a la carte. So steak tartare, scallops and rib eye steak it was. The Mac and cheese offering was delicious. The steak was a bit undercooked for medium well but very tasty for the cut. The scallops are aged 6 months as we questions about the preparation. The ingredients came right from the farm on the grounds. Tremendous experience(it is pricey) but spending a valuable dollar for a valuable experience. read more

We had dinner here last night and really enjoyed it. The menu was creative and the ingredients were clearly very fresh. I started off with the tuna appetizer and then had the wagyu top sirloin with savory bread pudding. Everything was very good, service was great, attentive but not intrusive. Very good selection of wines and probably the best gin and tonic i have ever had. The place is very comfortable and the grounds are spectacular. The prices are on the high side but I would say worth it considering the freshness of the ingredients and the beautiful grounds. I look forward to going back! read more

Great culinary delight! Cocktails at the bar and then enjoyed the 4 course tasting menu on a recent evening with my wife. Each food element was terrific and the wine tastings were great- I now love Rose! Servers were attentive and provided keen insights to the food preparation and wine pairings. Will certainly be back read more

Have been here a few times..ambiance, wait staff, chefs table, grounds are amazing. It is worth coming to see the gardens, sit out by the fire and have a great dinner. The menu does not change often enough for an establishment that is branding themselves as a culinary, farm to table experiment. The bar seats are very close together, while the booths by the kitchen are the absolute best! Ask to be seated there. read more

Fantastic! Food and service are top notch. Do yourself a favor and save room for the creme Brule cappuccino with dessert...or instead of dessert! Would love to try the "bring me food" option, maybe next time. read more

From arrival, to selection, to dining to departure. Everything was great. Good was to die for. They incorporate the flavors of the season into their foods and it's just amazing. Best restaurant I have ever been to in this area. There are beverage and food selections for every taste an diet restrictions. read more

My wife and I tried the prix fixe menu with wine pairing for our first visit. Everything was incredible. We looked at the full menu and will be back for sure in the summer. The service was six stars!! My new favorite local restaurant. read more

This is a 5 star restaurant all around. The food, the ambiance, and the service are all perfect. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to and I highly recommend everyone going here. read more

Don't bother to come here. Completely over rated. Service is an abomination. From the time you go out to the less then impressive outdoor area for a drink (no service and of course no fire pit) when it's 55 degrees. The food is mediocre, truly NJ farm to table but really not impressive. read more

Beautiful decor, amazing service, wonderful steak, tasty drinks. The big downer on the menu are the pastas, very disappointing and definitely not Italian. That program needs an overhaul as the bucatini was way overcooked and tasted like stew while the cavatelli was a big pile of gloop that was not appetizing. Stay clear of those. read more

Our third time to 90 Acres. This time we invited very good friends who had not been there before. I was VERY disappointed (and embarrassed) with the table. It was a very small and wobbly round table, sort of like a cocktail table for two. It was no way large enough to fit six average sized adults. I mentioned something to the receptionist and requested a larger table. She said nothing was available and smirked me off. The round table next to us was much larger and only had a party of five. Another larger round table sat empty for our entire meal and was not filled until we were walking out the door 2.5 hours later - and to add insult to injury it was only seated with a party of five (2 adults and 3 kids). Other tables were still empty. They certainly could have done something for us. All in all the food was fantastic. The wait staff is young but inexperienced. For $600 for a party of six, one would expect to be at a comfortable table; especially since we made the reservation seven weeks prior. Instead, it brought back memories of parent-teacher conferences when my child was in kindergarten. The small table killed the night. read more

schizophrenic Pray when you show up the kitchen is on, the waiters have a clue and the bar gets your beverages out in less than 20 minutes. I've been here a few times, either its one of the most sublime restaurant experiences you've ever had, or one of the most expensive lessons in frustration. read more

Incredible farm fresh dishes, fantastic cocktail concoctions, excellent service, great ambiance. Highly recommend.

Consistently excellent. If you don't have a good experience here, you're doing it wrong... Felton is incredibly inventive, the staff and service is excellent, pairings are spot on and the wine list is phenomenal, not to mention the setting. read more

We started off with the sweet potato soup, quail and liver app. Everything was well balanced in flavor. The waiter brought out all three apps at once instead of asking us if we wanted it in courses. We did order it in courses but I guess he didn't realize. By the time we ate the quail it was cold. We ordered the Tuesday special, Fried chicken and the steak entree. I asked the waiter to ask the sommelier to pick me out a glass of wine to pair with my chicken. The waiter told me that I would be getting a glass of Champagne and asked me my preference of region. I said let the sommelier choose. We received our food which was quite tasty but no beverage. When I finished my chicken the waiter finally brought the Champagne. I told him it was to late that I finished my chicken. He took the drink away. There really was no excuse, I ordered the drink well in advance before the second course. It wasn't even that busy. The sommelier didn't come over to apologize, she didn't even make eye contact as a starred her down. She was just oblivious to what was going on around her. She actually looked very depressed working there. I was watching her pour wine for another table and she showed absolutely no interaction. I expect way more from a restaurant of this caliber. read more

Ninety Acres - The Tuesday Fried Chicken - New American Near Me - Peapack, New Jersey

Were we the only ones who had a problem here? I recently came here for a weekend brunch with some friends. First, I'd like to say that for the type of food served and ambiance this place has reasonable prices. For appetizers we had lomo, pizza, ceviche and a fois gras appetizer I don't know the name of (another person in our group ordered it). The ceviche was delicious. The pizza and lomo unremarkable. Both were underseasoned, as if the cook didn't even use salt. The fois gras terrible; like some kind of sweet, liver flavored mousse. For my (and my wife's) main course, we had the most disappointing "Farmer's Pot Luck". I was told that this would contain cavatelli, lobster and zucchini flowers in a tomato based sauce. Firstly, the serving size was too small; about the amount of what would fit into a rice bowl. Secondly, the pasta was awful; chewy and gummy. I grew up on cavatelli and neither the store bought or my mother's homemade ever tasted this bad. Third, while my wife got 2 or 3 zucchini flowers, I got NONE. The cook paid no attention to detail in that respect. The plating was sloppy too. It was almost as if someone stuck a ladle into a pot of slop then dumped it into a bowl. One saving grace was that the sauce was tasty and well seasoned. Our side dishes were green beans, these too unseasoned and bland, and polenta, mushy and runny, like someone poured too much cream into it after it was done to try to save it or something. It too was bland. Needless to say, I was still hungry after this "meal" and looked at the cheese plate selections. Unfortunately all of the cheeses were served with some type of sweet, wet, accompaniment, like maple syrup or some kind of fruit jam. I prefer my cheese alone. Others in my party were equally disappointed. Two ordered steaks cooked differently and received each others' instead of their own. Aside from the steaks they, too, found their food to be bland. The wines were excellent. We shared 4 bottles and enjoyed them very much. The beer selection was pretty good; not great Just one question: why so many Belgian styles on the beer list? Was the sommelier told that Belgians go best with food? I would have loved to have seen more IPA's, stouts, even barley wines on the list. After lunch we decided to go outside to have some beer on the deck. After about 15 minutes the fun ensued. A bad thunderstorm came in and we were rushed inside to the bar. The staff scrambled to bring things in, tie things down, etc. They brought our beer bucket in and put it next to a door, then they forgot about it! I kept asking the bartender about it and she kept conferring with various people (waiters, managers, etc.) about it. Why? I don't know. All this time the bucket was still sitting by the door. After about 10 minutes of these gyrations I decided to go get the bucket myself and bring it to the bar. It was only then that I was stopped and told that the bucket would be brought to the bar. What a mess. Overall: Food - mediocre Service - fast but confused I would not eat here again. read more

I have been to Ninety Acres many times now and would like to start off by correcting a mistake that someone made in a review a little while ago. This person said that since the cooking school runs all hours of the day and night that you might have a "newbie cooking your dinner." The cooking school at ninety acres is a completely separate entity from the restaurant. Their kitchen is separate and they only cook for themselves; they aren't making the food for the reservations that evening. That being said I would highly suggest the cooking classes they are loads of fun! My last trip to ninety acres I did the Bring me Food option for a special occasion and it was fantastic. The chef created a fantastic menu for us and explained everything. The food was incredibly fresh and seasonal. I would highly recommend going while all of their fresh produce off the farm is still there! All in all a great place! Will keep coming back! read more

By far, one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The seven course pre fixe was off the charts and literally every sole thing was delicious. I did the wine pairing as well and that was a fun experience too. My gf was really impressed and I suggest taking anyone here that you're trying to make a good impression on. Good tip: book it for 5pm and watch the sun set over the hills and the crowd start rolling in to transform the venue into an eclectic hot spot. So good and so fresh, considering the farm is only 100 yards away. Go for it. I'll be coming back. read more

Must be the 8th/9th time there. Excellent food Went there to celebrate my sons 21st birthday. Al little disappointed they charge us $35 corkage fee for a bottle of wine I bought when he was born. Also the tiny piece of birthday cake they brought to the table (of 6)was a bit underwhelming. read more

Beautiful place and excellent service but I (and my entire table) were not impressed by the food. Major lack of seasoning, with the exception of few sauces and the two seafood dishes I had were hammered. Small bland- tasting portions (though their pasta dish was disproportionate large) at high prices was extremely disappointing. If you're going to charge me $25 for. two scallops...those scallops better be cooked perfectly. The menu descriptions of each dish sounded amazing but the flavors were not there. Based on taste alone, I would say uninspired. The Parmesan crisps, that were served with bread, were a hit though. With all that said, my party still had a wonderful time but none us will be going back again. Perhaps we should have all gone with the burger. read more

If you are going to splurge this is the place to do it. The food is out of this world and the restaurant is beautiful. I came here for a wedding and I can't wait to go back for dinner. read more

Twas a lovely summers eve. Raced my Ferrari through the long windy driveway and up to the valet. Jumped out the whip like Crockett, tossed him a bill and said, "Treat her like a lady." Then I galloped inside like a stallion from my estate. 5 waiters approached with trays covered in sushi and champagne. I drank and ate while the common folk massaged my feet. Jim Jones' Ballin' played throughout the restaurant. Epic dinner was epic. read more

I must say, I was not super impressed coming here for the first time. I'll give it another shot, solely based on the service and hospitality, but as for the food: the appetizer bread was clearly the highlight. Fried chicken was average, nothing special, especially not at the price listed. My family wasn't too impressed with their meals, and the price certainly wasn't worth what we ate. The view, scenery and service were excellent, to be fair, but ultimately we came for the food but left a little disappointed. read more

My wine consultant boyfriend and I had dinner at Ninety Acres for our 2 year anniversary and as usual we were beyond impressed. The Bring Me Food with the wine pairing is so much more than a dinner, but an experience. This was my third visit to Ninety Acres, and probably my boyfriend's sixth or seventh. I am a server at a fine dining restaurant while studying wine chemistry at Rutgers and my boyfriend eats, lives and breathes wine so we always have high expectations with wine and when we dine out. The first course was an East Coast oysters dish paired with a Brut from Cornwall, the salinity of the Brut alongside the East Coast oysters was devilishly brilliant, but I expect nothing less from the lovely wine director, Brooke. The next stand out dish was our third course: a poached egg, crispy chicken thigh (probably the best piece of chicken that has touched my lips), yeasty waffle and maple syrup, ingenious. Next: sardines , bok choy, sunchokes and a romesco sauce. SARDINES?! As I have traveled Europe where locals sell fresh caught sardines on the street for less than a quarter at times, I would never expect sardines to be on a Ninety Acres menu because it's such an overlooked aquatic delight, but I am delighted that I was able to indulge in the most mouth watering sardines I will probably have in my whole life. The Natirar Estate Pinot Noir that Brooke handpicked herself in Willamette Valley, Oregon was more than what we could have asked for in a Pinot Noir, a true and talented treat. Lindsay, Ninety Acre's pastry chef, hand delivered the dessert: cider donuts, caramel sauce, cinnamon pot de creme with oats and candied apple pieces. Lindsay was as lovely as her dessert and the dessert was simple but delectable, only someone talented can take unpretentious ingredients and make them special. Megan, our server, was also a dream with her passion and enthusiasm for Ninety Acre's inventiveness and quality because she was just as excited to serve us as we were to be there. We were the last ones in the whole upstairs dining room but Megan assured us that we could take our time because there was a party downstairs still in the works, being a server in a restaurant it is so important to make your guests feel welcome and Megan did exactly that. There were so many little details to the night that were amazing and I would write it all down if it wouldn't end up being obnoxiously drawn out. The best touch was the simple anniversary card we were presented with at the end of our dinner. Ninety Acres might not be Michelin rated, but in my opinion that means nothing because the quality and thoughtfulness that goes into each dish is worth the price and worth the grandeur. I don't usually write reviews, but I'm choosing to write one today because of the mediocre or bad reviews I saw on Yelp about Ninety Acres. I work in the restaurant industry, but I also visit fine dining farm to table restaurants wherever I go such as California, where there is a unique restaurant around every corner. I am still impressed with Ninety Acres, even after visiting Sonoma and Napa Valley for work and research purposes. It is hard pleasing some people, and some people you will never please no matter how much hard work you put into your service, dishes and overall experience (I think we all have someone in our lives like that). Sometimes, in the service industry, there are always two sides to the story. The story of the difficult, sullen and crabby patron, and the story of the original and inventive restaurant that tries to do whatever they can to please. Indeed everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that, but when reading Yelp reviews always keep in mind that there are always two sides to a story. Also, a girl from Brooklyn with her nose in the air wasn't impressed with Ninety Acres and claims there must not be any good places to eat in New Jersey at all if Ninety Acres was in the "Best Places to Eat in New Jersey" list. I think we all know that's not true ;) always stay open-minded, humble, and willing to try new things. Ninety Acres keeps things unpretentious and that is exactly how food and wine should be. read more

We paid for a cooking class for Friday March 2nd. The news report stated there was a nor Easter so I called and asked if the class was cancelled? There cooking school coordinated Jeanine stated the class is on everything is fine here and if you cancel you will be charged full price! We were concerned about roads and trees falling and power lines but because we would have been charged $185. Each we headed to the class. It was such bad conditions all over especially in Peapack. I approached the manager about the situation and he stated " well I have to pay the chef because he made it here". To have customers travel in bad weather and not be able to credit them for another class in such bad weather I will never go there again! read more

Came here upon a recommendation from my pharmacist who told me it was a must try for foodies like me. I finally convinced my boyfriend to take me here for Valentine's Day. Getting there was a journey in itself during dinner time because it just started getting dark and the restaurant is embedded at the end of a beautiful windy road through a park. We made reservations and we seated immediately upon arrival. Serving our table were three different waiters- one each for water, alcoholic drinks, and our meals so we were always promptly attended to! For food we got the pork belly pizza (SO GOOD) the scallops dish and the wagyu beef. The dishes were prepared down to the smallest details - my nutty arugula salad was dressed with a nutty hazelnut cream dressing, my boyfriends beef was served with a light ginger sauce decorating the plate. If you're in the mood to splurge (150+$ for two people with drinks) this is an amazing experience! I want to head back soon for their tasting menu or even a cooking class read more

What a great place; worth every penny will not be going into detail about what I ate because you need to have your own experience here. They offer many different types of plates from Fois Gras, Quail, to Pizza, Burgers so no matter what type of food person you are you will not get lost and still have an experience on your hands. Two things that absolutely resonated at this establishment pride and passion. I am so happy this place exsist in Jersey. It's about time.... read more

Beautiful place. Beautiful drive to get there. Food was tasty. I had the waygu beef amazing. But everything was pretty simple and farm like menu. Expensive. I would say great experience but wouldn't do it again read more

Great place to dine. I went there multiple times for anniversaries. It's a bit pricy but worth the money.

Awesome food...service...ambiance....cool bar and lounge area

So, I live in Westchester and have Stone Barns down the road from my home. Therefore, the bar is set very high. David Felton and his incredible staff meet and exceed that mark. From the moment you are greeted by the striking hostesses, knowledgeable wait staff and unreal wine list, you know you are in for an amazing food adventure. Managed to perfection, and what about the firepits! I love this place - don't miss the Fried Chicken - it rivals the Chalfonte in Cape May.... whatever you order you will not be disappointed, so bring your best girl and you will get lucky....... read more

Unique menu that changes with seasons. Amazing atmosphere. FOOD IS PHENOMENAL!!!

So far my favorite restaurant in New Jersey. The location is secluded and beautiful. I ordered the scallops which also came with short-rib. Both were cooked to perfection. The drinks are well crafted (only suggestion would be to garnish more). All in all beautiful experience. read more

We have been coming here since they first opened and we visit ninety acres about three times a year. We used to love it and considered it a special night out. Our last three visits have been underwhelming and our last visit just not great. Food quality was just ok. Salad had way too much sesame seed oil which by the way was not on the description on the menu. The salad also tasted as if it had been pre made and sitting for a while. Our waitress was very nice but when our meals and dessert came out they kept placing food in front of the wrong people. Most important the food quality is just not great. Too bad we used to love ninety acres but now it's just not special anymore. Disappointed. read more

Sadly, after many years of dining at Ninety Acres, my family and I won't be back. The entire meal - from beginning to end- was subpar. Even though the dining room was not full, neither of the two chefs in the kitchen were willing to take the time to accommodate my dietary requests. The service was slow, plates piled up on the table and we waited far too long for both our appetizers and entrees. When I asked to see a a manager, she was kind and apologetic, but Ninety Acres is somewhere we always thought of as a "special place," and the entire experience was a disappointment. With so many great restaurants closer to home, we've taken Ninety Acres off our list. read more

Best manhattan I've ever had. The food was good as well.

Interior = 6.5 Exterior = 8.7 Food = 7.9 Beverage = 6.8 Service = 7.1 Food is a solid "good". Exterior dining is above "good". Rest is as expected for a restaurant. Worth multiple visits. $$$ ( scale $ - $$$$ ) read more

LOVE this place!!!! Food awesome, service is excellent. This is our go to special occassion restaurant. So beautiful and atmospheric. We have also taken a few of the group cooking classes and what a delightful, fun learning experience! read more
