Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Highlands

We tried Brothers Daly for the first time last night and it was excellent! Our sever Jake mentioned he was new to serving but he did a great job. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, made good recommendations, and was attentive but not over bearing. We ordered a few drinks, a bunch of apps, and split an entree. The soda bread was some of the best ive had and was not dry like the grocery store version. My husband said the french onion soup was one of the best hes ever had and all of our cocktails were delicious. Definitely adding this place to our rotation

My family dined at Char on Saturday night. We arrived at 5:50 for a 6:00 reservation. It was not busy at this time. The blond hostess, did not make eye contact, and did not speak. I walked up and gave my name, and she did not acknowledge me. She turned to the young lady that had just come back from seating someone else, spoke to her rudely, and after standing there for about two minutes, we were finally acknowledged by the young lady and she led us to our table. The bread server immediately came over and offered us bread. She came back a minute later and threw the butter on the table. At no time, did anyone welcome us, smile at us, say hello to us, or give us any impression that we were wanted in this restaurant. I even used the restroom, and while walking there I passed several staff members, smiled, said hello, and again, no response. We were a party of 5 adults, dressed appropriately, quiet, and polite. There was absolutely no reason why we should have been treated like this. Our server was friendly, professional, and did his job. The food runners and busers were also very polite. The food was excellent. After spending $600 dollars, plus a 20% tip, we walked past the hostess stand, said thank you and goodbye, and not one of the three people standing there acknowledged us. They saw us, because we grabbed some mints, and still nothing. Hostessing 101 - greet the customers, and thank them for coming.

We frequent this place a lot in the summer. The vibe in winter was a little quieter on a Monday night in January. It was a really nice ambience for a date night. Service and food was great.

Service and food were great!! We come sll the way from Morris County because we enjoy the experience and our local one is no longer open. Our server was super nice. We did the 4 course and everything was great.

There were special circumstances this year that required we "go out" for Thanksgiving. After our experience several years ago at a different place, I was trying to keep my expectations low. Well, boy was I in for an absolutely delightful surprise! Everyone (and I mean everyone!) could not have been more friendly, welcoming and kind. They were there to assist you and made sure you knew that. The food was incredible and we all enjoyed it thoroughly! I love to taste everything but I have a small "holding tank" - I was able to take tiny amounts of most items and even the serving station people were kind enough to give me a small amount of whatever I wanted. I am not normally much of a sweets person but the TWO TABLES of desserts was too good to pass up. Again, I was able to take tiny amounts of things OR share something with the people I was with. I love to bake and cook, but I would come here again in a heartbeat! It will be difficult to pass up, if we decide to next year. I have been to Ocean Place for many other events and their food and service NEVER disappoints - thank you, we had a great Thanksgiving because of you.
