One Of New Jersey’s Oldest Restaurants Has Been Given A Celebrity Chef Makeover

New Jersey has a lot of history in its restaurants and hotels, and few locations are more historic than the iconic Bernards Inn, located in Bernardsville. This iconic building was first built in 1907 and has operated as a hotel and restaurant for more than a century. But times change, and its old-school dining room has given way to something very different - the location of David Burke's new restaurant! The popular celebrity chef has opened Red Horse by David Burke, a unique steakhouse with all of the celebrity chef's signature eye-catching dishes without losing the Bernards Inn's characteristic old-school charm. We took a look inside this new twist on a classic institution and were blown away by the impressive decor, the delicious-looking dishes, and all the touches that made David Burke one of the most famous chefs working today.

The Bernards Inn is one of the most famous hotels in New Jersey, for good reason.

This century-old Bernardsville inn offers unparalleled comfort in a charming, old-school atmosphere.

But it's not all old-school here - the newest restaurant at the hotel, Red Horse, just opened in 2023.

This is part of a small chain of elite steakhouses created by celebrity chef David Burke, frequently seen on shows like Iron Chef America and Top Chef Masters.

And that means that yes, Burke's signature hanging bacon is on the menu, to be caramelized tableside.

You'll quickly notice that everything here has some flair - including humble dishes like sliders.

Burke's specialty is classic, hearty food given a king's treatment, so the steak plates often look like finely assembled works of art.

For dessert, you don't want to miss the tin can cinnamon rolls with maple-cinnamon butter.

Make sure to stop by the bar for a quick drink if you like - it's just as stunning as the rest of the restaurant.
