Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Long Valley

This was our first time visiting and we did a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park before our reservation since Tavern on the Green is just on the edge of the park. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays and stunningly gorgeous inside- even better than I’d imagined. The food was delicious and service was very attentive. I really could not have asked for a more perfect dinner experience for myself and my family! Thank you Tavern of the Green for such a great dining experience!

The entire staff from walking in the door to the bar where we waited for another couple and then being escorted to our table was excellent. We will be back!!!!!!1

My wife and I were in the city for a holiday night and ABC was close to our hotel. It was excellent - no complaints. Service was very good - our waitress or someone else was right by the table whenever we needed anything. Food was great - we started with ONE $25 scallop, but it was excellent and then shared the kale salad and ordered two of the pastas. Would definitely go back.

I have been to New York many times and have always wanted to try Butter, but I was always alone and when I go to nicer restaurants I always want to have a shared dining experience. This week my husband and I had a week of Christmas in New York and I made sure Butter was on the list of places we would eat. Butter did not disappoint. The hostess and our server Janeth were top-notch. I had a modified Butter Espresso Martini minus the Mezcal. Delicious. For dinner, we split a Buratta Salad and some Parker House Rolls. Whatever the vinaigrette that accompanied the salad was fabulously delicious. The best hunk of Buratta which was so creamy and not the usual curds that most burattas are. The acorn squash and delicata chips were a welcome accompaniment. The Parker House rolls were better than any I've had in Boston's Parker House. We both had the Brazino with Rainbow Chard in a lemon sauce viniagrette. Crispy skin, and tender fish. Well done. We had a bottle of Whitehall Lane Sauvignon Blanc. I was the only who had dessert, just one scoop of the Mocha Chocolate Ice Cream. Perfect finish to a wonderful dining experience or so I thought. Our lovely server Janeth, who was a delight all evening brought us a glass of lovely Champagne to send us off into the busy cold New York City night. The reason I had heard of Butter was because a former New England Patriots Quarterback used to frequent the place and also I am kind of a fan of the own of the restaurant. But yes, if you are in NYC and want a lovely dinner, visit Butter. You won't be sorry!

The food and specialty drinks were fabulous! It was very crowded due to the holiday and the service could have been better. Drinks weren’t served in a timely manner. We’ve been to this restaurant before and will come back but not during the holidays!
