Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Bernardsville

One of my favorite restaurants in NY. Sunday brunch feels like a big extended family. Great food, multi-generations, cozy and modern with the best energy. Best French Toast. Amazing grilled cheese with tomato sandwich . It’s all good no matter when you go. Classic NY.

Brunch at Fogo de Chão for Valentine’s weekend was a fantastic experience. The service was warm and attentive, setting the tone for a relaxed meal. The Market Table offered a great selection of fresh salads, cheeses, and cured meats, but the real highlight was the fire-roasted meats. Each cut was cooked to perfection, with the picanha, lamb chops, their chicken standing out. The Brazilian sides, like pão de queijo, crispy polenta, and caramelized bananas, were a great complement. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, perfect for a special occasion. From start to finish, it was a memorable and indulgent brunch—definitely worth a visit!

Food, drinks and service were exceptional. One meal was not quite done to our liking but the Manager quickly rectified it and made sure that we were satisfied. Exactly what you would expect from a first class restaurant.

It’s our first time at this place, even though we’ve been seeing it for over two decades. In short, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, as it was light but very flavorful - not as salty as we thought we’d get from almost any Italian restaurant we’ve been to, some of which are very good in their own right. However, this lightness in taste stood out, be it the prosciutto in the salad or the clams in pasta. We’ll come back for sure.

This was our first visit to Steakhouse 85. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food, service, value and ambiance were top of the line. We were there on their Date Night. For $125 a couple, you get an appetizer, entree, desert and bottle of wine from their short list. The selections for Date Night gave us good choices and we chose things that we were going to order originally. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it!
