Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Basking Ridge

Our party of 6 had a fabulous evening at Bernadette. We started the evening with drinks in the lounge area. A very relaxed fun vibe. The speciality cocktails are diverse, unique and really worth trying! Dinner is tapas style and everything we ordered was delicious! Our favorites were the octopus, pork belly, flambé pizza and paella-style fish. Honestly everything was delicious, wonderful flavor profiles and well presented. We were never rushed, the plates came out in a timely, well-paced manner. Our server was fabulous! (I regret I can’t remember his name!). He was funny, personable,knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. He said he was from Portugal and made some recommendations based on his experience which was a great personal touch. We enjoyed our evening thoroughly and will definitely go back.

Great place. Piano man was on point, and food is amazing!

We had a wonder first time at tap and bitter. It was a quiet Sunday but the staff checked in on us throughout our dinner. We always had water and didn’t feel rushed and they gave us time in between courses to relax and enjoy each other company
