Upon arrival at dinner time, I was seated and attended. It was only one other pair in the restaurant (next to the bar) area. The place was pretty peaceful and had low music. The steak was a perfect medium well strip. It cut through like butter. I loved the texture. The mashed potatoes were so tasty and plentiful; it was topped with two baked home-made potato chips. The broccoli had minced garlic, which is not mentioned in the menu but, which transformed it from regular steamed broccoli to a tasty side. I will definitely be used that in my future recipes. I can't wait to return to this hotel and to this restaurant. I'm sure you can come have a bite even if you aren't staying at their equally as wonderful Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel.

We ordered an Expresso Martini (Vodka) and a Bees Knees Cocktail (Gin). Dario brought our drinks to our table. The cocktails were so yummy! SCD only sells chips and other related snacks. Best to eat before you arrive. Overall, Silk City Distillery has remained consistent since my last visit. Extras: - All alcohol is made at the distillery. - Distillery tours are available by appointment. - SCD has some hilarious Tee Shirts for sale. - 2 Restrooms on the premises. - Adjoining Ghost Hawk Brewery shares a small parking lot with SCD. Street parking is available too.

As mentioned in my review for Ghost Hawk Brewing, I made it to the shared lot of this alcohol duo…read morefor the Poured Fresh event with a variety of vendors, food tents, live music, and, of course, booze. Like the brewpub, Silk City Distillery had been on my wish list, and it was not until I arrived at Ghost Hawk that I noticed that they were adjacent to each other, allowing me to check both off at once. The tasting room was adorned with barrels that were holding their vast selection of spirits, such as bourbon, whisky, rum, gin, vodka, and more. They also offered a handful of regular and high-top tables, which we were easy to obtain on that afternoon (given the outdoor options as well), but typically reservations were recommended. Though the seating was comfortable, the temperature was not. In fact, it was freezing in there, and we, along with a lot of other parties, switched tables multiple times to find the best fit. We approached the counter to order from their lengthy cocktail list, which included standard and more custom cocktails. I decided on their rendition of a Lime Rickey, asking for it to be made with their gin. The tart, sour, and sweet drink was light and refreshing. I enjoyed each sip so much that I wound up getting a second round. While many distilleries offer a few types of alcohol and a handful of cocktails, the Silk City Distillery went above and beyond with their vast array of options. Any connoisseur should enjoy the place!

First let me say the Renaissance Marriot is a small unsuspecting hotel but when you go in its Bright and Welcoming. Staff is welcoming and courteous. You are allowed to get their early end joy the restaurant and bar. There are lots of seating areas. And the bathrooms are impeccably clean. The waitresses within the ballroom work really hard. The food is fair they allow you slightly change orders like sauce on the side, or not toppings on pizza. There is 2 menu min per person and drinks or food count. The only things I will critique The parkinglot needs more lighting The temperature of the ballroom was cold and then it was hot. so there has to be a happy medium They need to open more rooms for people to stay overnight who do not want to drive home. Maybe offer a ticket the show / special room rate???

I visited Union Bar last year for a Yelp event and have been talking about Union Bar ever since…read more I'm glad that I came tonight to check it out and bring my favorite person along. Our server, Natalie, was bubbly, polite and attentive. I ordered the garlic and lemon shrimp dish which was out of this world. Everything about the dish was a hit: the shrimp were cooked perfectly, the sauce was bursting with flavor, and the portion was sizable. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My mate ordered the burger which was served with seasoned fries. He kept raving about the burger and everything was gone before I had a chance to try anything, so I know it must've been good! All in all, the meal was delicious and I look forward to returning. Also, there is a parking lot next to the restaurant which fills up quickly.

The atmosphere is definitely beautiful. Unfortunately, the drinks and food didn't live up to it. We started with espresso martinis and were served brown, watery cocktails with espresso beans somehow floating on top--they were terrible. Then we ordered chicken wings with their "crack sauce." The wings were heavily breaded and looked more like fried chicken. We each tried one, but there was no flavor at all. We ended up booking another reservation somewhere else while we were still sitting there and left shortly after.

It's surprisingly calm and fancy forward, and it's honestly nice to have a spot where you can actually sit down and enjoy a proper drink in the middle of a gigantic mall, where there is still some natural light to be had. The cocktails were excellent, the champagne list was great, and the tiny single-serve bottles of Moët, each with their own little ice bucket, made sure I always got the proper amount of bubbles in each chilled glass. You can even splurge on caviar if you're feeling fancy. It's the ideal place to take a break between sprees at Prada and Hermès (kidding) but mostly just to escape the noise of the rest of the mall.

When they were out of something my wife ordered she replaced it with an alternative for free which was very nice. I also wanted to state that I was pleasantly surprised at the final price when I received the check. For the amount of food and drink we ordered. It was relatively a good deal.
