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.

A wonderful dining experience. Service was attentive, friendly and professional throughout the meal. Cocktails were PERFECTLY made - dry martini and a Gimlet. Oysters, Beef Tartar and Beet Salad fresh and flavorful. Entrees - Excelent - Suckling Pig, Grilled Sea Bass and a very tender pork chop! Highly recommend the roasted new potatoes with verde sauce! We did not order dessert, but the pastry chef kindly prepared meringues with a Happy Birthday messsage to celebrate! Definitely will return.

We love coming to Ninety acres for special occasions. Last night was a birthday dinner. Love the ambiance. I like sitting in either the bar area or on a banquette in the main dining room. Always a classy experience!

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. Everyone in our party loved the fig and prosciutto flatbread and I also highly recommend the steak, which we tried with both the bleu cheese and horseradish crusts. We also tried the holiday themed cranberry mocktail and spiked egg nog and both were great. Redstone will be a place we return to again!

We've been here a number of times and Cafe Emelia doesn't disappoint. The food is consistently good and the service exceptional. The staff is incredibly welcoming and adds that extra dimension to your evening that I look for when going out with friends and family.
