We love it here, and have been coming for years! All wonderful staff with efficient service, a great drink menu and a great selection of bar food. Everything is great, but this is our favorite burger in town. We loved their outdoor dining over the last few years, and they frequently have local bands coming in to play for the evening. So much fun!

I use a cane, there are steps to enter River Grille and the dining area is up some steps from the bar area. Also have use stairs to use the bathroom any time. Doesn't cause me any issues though. Hopefully when remodeling is done things will be…

I want to preface this by saying that I'm a native New Yorker who grew up almost around the corner…read morefrom Lucali, so I'm very familiar with waits, lines, reservations, and the realities of trying to get into a popular restaurant. That's why I was actually excited and hopeful to find a restaurant in Garwood that might offer a similar experience. Unfortunately, our first impression left a lot to be desired. We arrived without a reservation and were told by the maître d' that there would be at least a two-hour wait. While I understand that restaurants get busy, the way the information was delivered felt unnecessarily dismissive. We were then directed toward the bar, where we attempted to find a place to sit. Just as we were about to sit down, the owner told us that those seats had been reserved for someone else. We went back to speak with the maître d', but the interaction and attitude at that point were unpleasant enough that we decided to leave. To his credit, the owner ultimately offered us a table outside, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, by then, the overall experience had already left us feeling unwelcome, and we decided it wasn't worth staying. I'm sure the food may very well be excellent, and perhaps we simply caught the restaurant on an off night. But a great dining experience starts well before the food reaches the table. There are plenty of restaurants where I'm happy to spend my money, and I don't expect special treatment--just basic courtesy and hospitality. Hopefully others have a better experience, but based on ours, we won't be returning.

This is one of my go to places for A+++ food in this area. On the contrary, I've been dined here…read moreseveral times and have mixed experiences with the service. Nonetheless I come for the food as I always look forward to the different menu options they have. The restaurant itself isn't the largest so I typically opt to make a reservation or hope for a seat at the bar. The lighting inside is dimmed nicely and there are often candles lit on the tables. The happy hour selection also contains great options as well as the drinks they offer. During our visit this time, we started off with the wings and for our entrees we had the steak and chicken milanese which were absolutely amazing. The salad was one of our favorite parts of the meal as it was rich with mixed flavors which complemented the chicken.

After such a fun walk through town, I wanted a glass of wine. Then I saw it: French onion soup. Splurge!! Loved everything about my bar experience. Nice bartender too. Merci! Twins had great time at their birthday party too!

Me and my girlfriend went to this place at 4:15pm. It's a Thursday so they had live music at 6:00pm…read moreso we stayed. Mind you we have had 4 drinks total since 4pm. At 7pm the waiter cut us off. Very disappointed, I live walking distance and have been coming here for the last 3 weeks. I personally think it's insane to get cut off, I asked the waiter "was it a manager?" He said no it's his decision since he cleared 4 glasses off the table that had been sitting there since 5pm. If you want to enjoy yourself avoid this place. Update: The server was new. The manger came out and fixed the situation, I was very pleased with the outcome as I only wanted one more. We ordered the flat bread pizza and it was very good compared to most restaurants in summit. Obviously I was upset prior, but rightfully so. I will come here again and continue the review on this place. Thank you to the managers who were quick to respond and came to us right before we left. If visiting summit I would come here and try the short rib!

This place has been on my radar for a few years but I never had a reason to go. 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.

I love how we were greeted with energy and they were truly happy to see us. This walk to our upstairs table was like getting a tour. We requested a table that would allow us to have easy conversation with our friends who were joining. And it was a great table, looking down on the main dining room. The only real dig I had was the lack of lighting upstairs. I literally could not see the beauty of my dishes because it was too dark. There was a flickering light above us which was taped over, but I do think they need to reconsider whether it's bigger candles, or even some type of table lighting. Wines by the glass, would have hoped for a bigger selection. The white cranberry cosmo was terrific. Great menu! French traditional favorites coupled with a creative collection of Spanish and Italian dishes as well. Chicken, beef, and super great choices of fish. I honestly didn't spend time looking at appetizers as I went right to the salads and entrees. And yes, interesting creative selection of salads. I had a beet and hummus salad. My wife had a kale and grapefruit salad and there were others to choose from, with the exception of no Caesar nor plain house for the boring pallet. I had scallops and pistachios and it was very good. There was branzino and also a beef duo of flank steak and oxtail ordered. All the dishes were really well prepared, seasoned and beautifully presented. Again, I would have enjoyed seeing what was on my fork for each bite. Dessert menu was okay. I thought a bit overpriced and just not overly appealing. Too many caramel offerings, and not enough diversity. We did offer their version of a chocolate lava cake but it was like a tapas portion of dessert. It was good, but 3 bites worth, hardly shareable. It would be unfair not to mention the great service. Our waiter was chill, let us chat away for over 3 hours. Never felt rushed and all his helpers knew exactly who was getting what. Well done .... I'd go back in a heartbeat.

A Second Visit Worth Every Bite!…read more When a restaurant is good enough to bring you back for a second visit, you know they're doing something right! The Millburn Standard in Millburn, New Jersey, has officially earned a spot on my list of places worth revisiting! On my first visit, I enjoyed the street corn, a beautifully presented dish with bok choy, and some delicious lemon drop cocktails. Everything was flavorful, beautifully plated, and definitely made a great first impression. The lemon drops were a perfect addition to the experience! Fast-forward to my second visit, and I was back for more! This time, I ordered the French onion soup, which arrived with that gorgeous golden, melted cheese on top. Rich, comforting, and exactly what I was craving! I also had to order the Thai calamari again because clearly, it made an impression the first time around! Crispy, flavorful, and tossed in a delicious sauce with just the right amount of kick. Definitely one of my favorites! And of course, I couldn't leave without enjoying a latte! Beautifully served, creamy, and the perfect way to round out my visit. Anyone who knows me knows I appreciate a good latte! What I love about The Millburn Standard is the variety of dishes, the presentation, and the inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy cocktails, share a few appetizers, or sit down for a comforting meal. Two visits down, and I'm already looking forward to a third! If you're in the Millburn area, this spot is definitely worth checking out. And take my advice: don't skip the Thai calamari or the French onion soup! Yelp Elite approved!
