Entrance is $10 donation per person which is used to keep up the grounds. It was a nice smaller park you can spend probably a full hour to maybe two tops. We walked the whole property, took photos, and enjoyed the local artist display inside the house. I will say they should cap the amount of people entering because it was extremely crowded with many families with large strollers that took up the narrow pathways. A lot of couples I noticed come and have a picnic here which was such a cute idea for future visits if in the area again.

As…read moreour mother was put to rest in Florham Park we were seeking out A quality Restaurant Week and accommodate 60 to 70 people in an elegant environment for lunch. No doubt we did well with the Park Avenue club. Not only were the staff. Super accommodating on a short notice, but I found the price to be fair, the food, to be quite excellent, and the environment to be rather beautiful yet simple If I lived in that area, I most certainly would join this club however, I know that my family members have, and with good reasons. I highly recommend the Park Avenue club for any needs you might have pertaining to group, gatherings, and such.

Stumbled in here during one of the coldest days of the year, primarily just to warm up. Had no…read moreexpectations because, like I said, it was cold, they were the closest place to take shelter and I saw a coffee bar. Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

I have been to willow and whisk 2 times. The food is amazing!…read moreA great menu with interesting snd very well put together selections. Different than your average brunch /lunch menu. They also have a good kids menu. Very good beverage and a coffee station plus wine selections including Mimosa. They have Excellent service . The wait staff very attentive and accommodating to your needs. I ordered the So Cal burger. It tasted so fresh and great ingredients. It is a Breaded chicken cutlet,sharp Wisconsin cheddar, avocado, pico de gallo, roasted tomato aioli, brioche bun. The bun was so soft like it just came out the oven and all ingredients paired so well together.The chicken had a crisp to the texture and moist not dry. I had the maple-Dijon salad as my side. To be dressing was so tasty with fresh lettuce. I fell in love with the freshly made pita chips and feta dip it was a shareable and menu special. I had a mocha frappe and the way it came out looked perfect! It was blended very well. Our waiter he also made it a pleasant experience. Very accommodating to however and whatever we needed. The ambiance is very updated and a relaxed vibe to it. It has a spacious area not on top of each other .They are very pleasant as soon as you're greeted in until your leaving out. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Note... I have gone before this for breakfast but I have no Pics. The breakfast was so good. Really fresh ingredients. I had breakfast Classic and lemon ricotta pancakes. Their homemade sausage and bacon is amazing!! I was 3 other people and they raved about their breakfast selections.

There's something for everyone. We shared the elote dip which I thought was ok. I had a matcha lemonade and the grilled cheese with truffle fries and my friend had a berry spritz mocktail and the prosciutto panini with regular fries. I really liked my matcha lemonade and the truffle fries and dipping sauce, not sure what was in it. The grilled cheese itself was good, not amazing. My friend liked her drink and food. The service and staff are great! I got here before my friend but they sat me and didn't make me feel rushed as I waited. The interior is welcoming and bright. I want to bring my husband back next time we go out for brunch!

One of our son's favorite spot was the "Market" lol anyway, we had fun taking pictures with Mickey and Minnie and loved the surprise Balloon drop. Bonus was the spacious parking lot across and babytown area for kids 2 and under. They can host private parties, and even have books and toys for sale. Now if only there was food and coffee for purchase! lol Either way, loved Neverland fun and their wonderful staff! Thank you! Will keep an eye out for other events!

Highly recommended for open play toddler fun!…read more This place is brand new (opened late in 2024) and everything inside looks it. It's much bigger than you'd think, and the different play areas/stations were nicely done. The owners and staff are all extremely nice, friendly and helpful. The location seems to be popular for kids birthday parties ages 1-4. There's even a "baby" section for the younger siblings. Go out and support this local business (not a franchise)

Cool sim racing spot close to the Westfield station…read more They have high end sim racing machines, with motion. I have a rig at home without motion, so this is a nice option. Would like more tracks. USA tracks only Laguna. Would be cool to add others, especially NE places like Watkins Glen, VIR, even NJMP The clock starts at start of time slot, and you use time getting set up. They should give you 5min to start getting set up Its a little pricey. Now again, they do have nice machines so I can understand that. But at this price level, they are competing with go karts, which many may prefer. I'm guessing that wait times here would be much better than at Supercharged though. Parking lot is reasonably large, and train station offers more parking. Seems like it may be a good place for kids parties given that it is in Westfield, but they may need to introduce some simpler games for that. I would say that this is better for older teenagers

Too much fun. I love racing and the simulators make it feel like reality…read more I came with my father in law and he loved it as well.

Van Vleck House & Gardens turned out to be one of those places that feels like a hidden gem…read more It's not a large botanical garden, but that's actually part of its charm. The gardens are beautifully maintained, peaceful, and much less crowded than many other places nearby. I really enjoyed walking around and taking photos without feeling rushed. There's a free parking lot on-site, which is always a bonus. Don't expect to spend an entire afternoon here, but if you're already in the Montclair area or looking for a quiet place to unwind, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. It's especially nice during the blooming season.

2 stars for ambiance. Minus 3 for everything else…read more As we entered and checked in, there were screaming children at the bar. At the elevators, we could still hear them. We wanted to sit in the lobby, but there was trash at the fireplace. The lobby was unclean ie the couch, table, fireplace area. There was no coffee or cream in our room. It took 40 minutes for them to come up. They brought cream and sugar and no coffee. We called the front desk twice to rectify this issue. There was a phone in the room that did not work and no phone cord, which is a huge safety issue. There was yelling and slamming doors at 6am outside of our room in the hallway. There was also no body soap in the shower, when we showered this morning. We will not be returning, as this was another disappointing stay.

Wonderful Bridal Shower…read more The Archer Hotel was the perfect spot for my daughter's bridal shower. We had the luxury of having the AKB restaurant and bar area to ourselves. The food was excellent! The service was attentive but needed to be more accessible to the guests with their orders, and serving water. Plus telling guests about coffee, desserts, and cappuccino (which was forgotten). I still gave them five star for their efforts. But wanted to mention these things for the next party. All in all people loved the Archer
