Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Hopatcong

To get straight to the point, our server Pat was phenomenal! Very attentive, patient and funny. He made our experience easy and most enjoyable! We were blessed to have such amazing service at our table. We were a party of 6. Pat recommended the Tasting Menu and even slightly modified it perfectly for my parties Dietary Restrictions. The food was really good as expected. One of the hostess was a lil assumptive when I arrived. I went to check in for my reservation, I gave one hostess my name and another jumped in and said "they are over at the bar, you have to wait for your whole party." It was a little off putting because I didn't know anyone had checked in for the reservation, especially since I was the one who booked. Other than that we had a really great time.

If you find a better value in the city, let alone on the upper West Side, please let me know. I'm always impressed by the quality of both the food and the service. It is not easy to be attentive without being intrusive. The staff at Cafe Luxembourg has apparently mastered that talent. As for the kitchen, they've been scoring 10's for as long as I can remember. I'm very appreciative of being able to enjoy a restaurant like this, where the food and service are both consistently superior and at a price that is most assuredly reasonable.

Strip steak was excellent, but it should be for the price and the portion size. There is no more complementary bread basket – you need to pay $16 for Parker house rolls dessert which was the apple cobbler was missing the whipped cream.

inventive menu.....high quality....not expensive by manhattan standards....terrific wine list!....some rare varietals

Food and Service was Excellent Always an enjoyable dinner!
