Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Rutherford

We had a wonderful evening at Craft to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Service was attentive from the moment we arrived, and all of the dishes we ordered were fantastic. Highly recommend the duck, the aligot potatoes with Comte cheese, the hen of the woods mushroom side dish, and all of the desserts. We can’t wait to return.

Exceptional service, delicious food and great ambience. The evening couldn't have been better.

Everything was superb - as always. Had not been in a while and loved some of the new additions to the menu. The team here does everything right. Happy Holidays. Barney

I am not saying this lightly. Unquestionably the best meal my husband and I ever had. We had four courses chosen off the regular menu accompanied by wine pairings explained by the sommelier, Matt, who loved his job. It was not unlike an interesting history lesson. Great food! I agree with my husband who said that they really know how to season. I have to add they know how to add an unexpected ingredient that made what would have been a mundane mushroom risotto pop. It was just the right, small amount of pickled mushrooms sprinkled on top. While the crabcake was huge, lump and traditionally prepared. Where it wasn’t required they didn’t over season or do anything just to do something new. Nothing seemed like an afterthought. Fine dining at its best. We are both looking forward to going back.

Born and raised in nyc and I can definitely confirm that this restaurant without a doubt is the most authentically romantic place to have a date night in the city. The food was exquisite! Made you want to keep eating even though you’re full. I proposed to my girlfriend here and it was everything I imagined and then some. Through the proposal planning process of how to do it, the staff was almost more excited about it than I was. This restaurant is the personification of a 10 out of 10.
