The atmosphere feels warm and traditional, and the staff is consistently friendly and professional. Personally, I'd give it a solid 4 stars based on my own visits but it easily earns a 5 when it comes to hosting events. I've booked their private room twice. Once for a work event and once for a birthday dinner and both times were a huge success. Everyone raved about everything, from the attentive service to the food and drinks. Our client literally said, "There's no need to ever find another dinner place this is it.". It's absolutely an amazing place and a local classic for a reason. Perfect for a special occasion or when you want that traditional steakhouse experience done right without having to go to NY.

My husband raved that the calamari was like butter. My husband's steak was over done, but the server immediately resolved the situation and brought us a new one. 0 hesitation. And to top it off, the decor makes you feel like you're in a New York City restaurant. There's dark moody lighting great for a date night. We loved Roots and we will be back!

Stirling Tavern is a casual but polished neighborhood bar and grill with a trendy aesthetic and a…read morecozy ambiance; a menu featuring classic pub favorites elevated a notch above your average bar fare with gourmet ingredients; an innovative and seasonally-updated adult beverage program; and attentive and friendly service. The space on the first floor is divided into a lively bar area with plenty of TVs and a slightly quieter main dining room with comfortable booths and tables. There is also seating on an outdoor terrace on the second floor and a few tables in front of the restaurant on South Street if you're up for dining al fresco. It's a terrific option in Morristown that's sophisticated enough for a date on the outdoor terrace when the weather cooperates or a pre-theater meal in the dining room, yet casual enough for beers and appetizers while watching a game in the bar area. The menu captures the essence of modern American comfort food. Whether you're grabbing the Stirling Burger ($18) -- made from a tasty short rib and brisket blend -- or splurging on the Grilled New York Strip ($48) topped with crabmeat fries, the quality is evident. They are also great with dietary restrictions. Between the various poultry, fish, and vegetarian options on the menu and the kitchen's willingness to make moderate accommodations in any other dish, there's something for everyone. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the service. We recently celebrated my niece's 21st birthday here, and our server made it memorable by honoring her milestone birthday by playfully asking for her ID EVERY SINGLE TIME she ordered a drink. It became a running joke for the night and made the occasion feel extra special. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars for me is that both sides of the main floor can get pretty loud when it's packed and the prices are a bit on the higher side for casual dining. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: Stirling Tavern offers a Happy Hour Monday through Friday between 3pm and 6pm, which features specials on certain cocktails, wines, beers, and light snacks. You must be seated at the bar to take advantage of the promotional pricing. If you enjoy a good Old Fashioned, try the JB ($10), made with Four Roses bourbon, blood orange amaro, orange & angostura bitters. PRO TIP #2: Stirling Tavern does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on South Street or Maple Avenue. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority Lot #8 (@ 10 Franklin Street) and Vail Parking Area (@ 110 South Street). FREE on-street parking is located on MacCulloch Avenue, just two blocks from Stirling Tavern.

The setting was perfect in that it was perfectly suited for our party. The staff were super in helping us prepare for this special day.

Supposedly from Alaska after the server originally said "West Coast". If you serve oysters, you need to know where they're from before you start your shift... anyway. Minimum order was 1/2 dozen. I wish I could have only ordered four. Four were delicious. Two were HORRIBLE. Hope I don't get sick. No way they were all the same "Alaskan" oysters. Maybe they cslled them Alaskan bc they froze them. Bad. Very bad. Do NOT get oysters here. So, ordered dessert which is why I walked in. Brownie ala mode. This "brownie" was very dry chocolate cake. I'm it wasn't ala mode with a glass of water I would have choked to death. The restaurant was 1/2 empty. No wonder. Avoid Town. It's on life support and you don't want to die with it.

We've now been to Masseria twice in one week, and that alone should say a lot!…read more Our first visit was during Restaurant Week, where they offered a pre-fixe menu. It was our first time there, and honestly, we went in a little skeptical after seeing some mixed reviews. But we were pleasantly surprised and ended up loving it so much that we came back the very next week with friends. The ambiance is super stylish and cute. The layout is really nice, with a few separate dining areas past the bar that make it feel a bit more intimate. We sat in the section with a view of the kitchen both times, which added to the experience. Food-wise, everything we tried was great. The meatballs and the cozze (mussels) appetizer were both delicious and definitely worth ordering. During Restaurant Week, we had steak, which was solid, but the real standout for us was the pasta. The pappardelle bolognese is spectacular and something we'd absolutely go back for again and again. We had seen reviews mentioning poor service, but that wasn't our experience at all. Both visits, the service was attentive and smooth with no issues. We were too full for dessert both times (a good problem to have!), but we're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Highly recommend giving this place a chance!

This is a great place for cocktails and other drinks. You can get some small serving of decent food to accompany your drinks. Their menu focuses on alcoholic drinks. The food my party ordered on two occasions was 'fair' at best. When I'm in the area, focused on having a few drinks, and not very hungry, this will be my 'go to place.'
