Water and Wine - Rated 4.6 stars - 141 Stirling Road, Watchung - American

• "Lovely spot, good food with ample serving size. Quiet enough for good table conversation, with enough room between tables that you don't feel crowded."
• "Great food, service, views. Perfect for special occasions. Upscale restaurant, however reasonably priced and in a comfortable setting."

Vine Restaurant & Lounge - Ranked 4.7 stars - 95 Morristown Road, Basking Ridge - Contemporary American

• "Very pleasant evening. Monday is BYO, so saved a buck or two. Filet mignon and short ribs both excellent cuts and cooked to perfection."
• "Delish!! Loved it so much last time that we brought friends to try this time. They loved Vine as well!"

Seasons 52 - Bridgewater - Ranked 4.5 stars out of 1,117 reviews - 410 Commons Way, Bridgewater - American

• "My wife and I have been to Seasons 52 about six times, and it has never disappointed! The food is consistently delicious, with complex flavor profiles and very fresh seasonal vegetables."
• "The food and the service were excellent. Only complaint is that we did not get seated for 15-20 minutes after our reservation time. But overall, it was a great dining experience."

Saly G's Restaurant & Tavern - Rated 4.7 stars - 169 Washington Valley Road, Warren - Italian

• "My husband and I went for dinner. We had a great experience, starting with the bread, olives, and eggplant for the table. We shared the sausage and broccoli rabe appetizer which was yummy. Our mains were also good."
• "I am lucky to have such a great restaurant right in my town! It's our go-to for dining with friends, family or alone. Great food. Traditional and creative Italian meat, fishes, seafood, pastas and FABULOUS daily specials! Fair prices for wines by the glass and cocktails."

UpRoot Restaurant - Ranked 4.6 stars - 9 Mt. Bethel Road - American

• "Food was excellent, much of it locally sourced. A bit loud for my tastes. Entrees were excellent; I was underwhelmed by the peach streudel dessert. Plan to try again at a quieter hour."
• Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a great meal comprised of several appetizers our waitress suggested, based on our preferences. Great wine and bourbon choices as well. Looking forward to visiting again soon."
