Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Metuchen

The food is consistently good at Water and Wine, and we were so happy to see the lunch price fixe menu back! Our server was excellent - I wish I knew her name!!

We love the comfortable and spacious feeling of Stone House. And when you combine that with the great food and service, it is a real treat.

This was my first time visiting New Brunswick, NJ, and I love Italian cuisine. I am so happy I was able to get a reservation at Catherine Lombardi’s! From start to finish, the service and atmosphere was impeccable, and the food was delicious to boot! The server was attentive and knowledgeable. The owner stopped by our table to offer insight on the menu and to check in with our group. We enjoyed the food, drinks, and dessert. Too many flavor profiles to share in detail but there is not a bad dish at all and our group tried several. I want to return to New Brunswick just to go back to the restaurant. I highly recommend Catherine Lombardi’s.

I was hesitant at first with this being attached to a hotel, but the food was exquisite--perfect for a date night or an above average cost for dinner. The burrata was out of this world and the lobster roll had a hidden mayo/lemon combo that had me tossing up my hands with excitement. My wife had the Salmon over a pumpkin and curry squash that was EASILY the star of the show. We both left planning for when we could make the drive back for another meal. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious. I think my server may have been new. We waited 30 minutes for water after asking 3x. He was polite, but he definitely forgot any requests like water, lemon and paper napkins .
