It is always a great experience at The Highlawn. I have enjoyed every meal I have eaten there. It is the perfect place for date night or a business meal with important clients. The Highlawn is one of my favorite places to wine, dine, and entertain in north New Jersey.

LuNello's never disappoints me. Whenever I bring a new guest to the restaurant, they always compliment the menu and their choice. The real testament to someone's pleasure with their dining experience is when they take some of their choices home with them to enjoy. Thank you to the team at LuNello's for making each visit an enjoyable one.

For a hotel restaurant it’s bumping but the food was subpar I asked for medium rare steak and I got well done and the sauce on top was so citrusy it ruined the steak for me , didn’t pay attention to booming didn’t realize it was a hotel resturant but it was cute .. under staffed waiter had about 15 tables all by himself but he did a good job I most likely won’t return but thank you
