Bigger isn’t always better, just look at the state of New Jersey. We’re the 4th smallest state by area but the #1 most amazing by every metric that matters (in my humble opinion). Hiking? Check! Beautiful beaches? Check! Endless entertainment? Check! Diverse and delicious cuisine? Check! We have so much to offer in the tiny amount of space we take up, and these restaurants are no different.
This incredible Italian restaurant focuses on Sicilian cuisine and seats a maximum of 35 guests. Reservations are a must as there are only 10 tables, but the wait is worth it. The food and service are both spectacular. BYOB and be sure to try one of their epic $9 desserts.
This fabulous French-American grill offers an incredibly affordable lunch menu, dinner menu and prix fixe options. Be aware that this intimate restaurant is closed on Mondays.
Enjoy seasonal farm to table American cuisine at this family owned restaurant. The small space offers a homey atmosphere and is open for dinner from Wednesday - Sunday.
