When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

    ★★★★★ An Unforgettable Valentine's Evening at MV Our Valentine's Day dinner at Restaurant MV was nothing short of magical. MV proved to be the perfect setting for a romantic celebration. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of understated elegance and warmth. The restaurant's intimate lighting and thoughtful table spacing created an environment where conversation flowed naturally, and each table felt like its own private dining sanctuary. The service staff struck that perfect balance between attentiveness and discretion, anticipating needs without hovering. The special Valentine's menu showcased a brilliant fusion of Italian flavors and cuisine. The wine list deserves special mention, featuring an impressive selection of both Old and New World wines and for dessert, the ricotta cheesecake and zabaglione with strawberries was devine – a classic Valentine's treat executed with precision and care. Price-wise, while MV sits in the higher end of the spectrum, the quality of ingredients, execution, and overall experience fully justified the investment for such a special occasion. This isn't just dinner – it's a carefully orchestrated culinary journey that creates lasting memories. For those seeking a truly special dining experience in New Jersey, Restaurant MV stands out as a destination worth the trip to Bernardsville. It's clear why securing a Valentine's Day reservation here is so coveted – the combination of sophisticated ambiance, exceptional service, and outstanding cuisine creates an evening that lingers in memory long after the last bite. Highly recommended for special occasions, particularly for couples seeking a romantic dining experience that goes above and beyond the ordinary.

    We celebrated Valentine's Day at Washington House Restaurant. The food and atmosphere were perfect for the occasion. Hearts were decorated everywhere, and a rose was at each table. There was a special Valentine's Day menu. Hubby ordered his favorite fish and chips and loved it. I ordered the chicken and farro salad which I enjoyed very much! We ordered the valentine's day dessert - a tiramisu inspired red velvet cake! Beautiful and delicious!
