    Florentine omelette

    Food was okay, it lacked flavor and freshness. The portions were pretty decent for the price.

    Three and a half stars, really. Went for Tuesday lunch, lured in by the menu entry of an open face turkey sandwich, which I have been craving recently. Adjacent parking lot with enough spaces. Airy open dining area with maybe a dozen tables. I was greeted warmly by a friendly waitress who served me a really strong cup of hot coffee, perfect on this cold day. Ordered a cup of lobster bisque, which was served hot with a package of oyster crackers and another package of saltines. Also ordered that hot open face turkey sandwich. The waitress asked me if I wanted the soup first, or both together, a very thoughtful gesture (I dislike when two courses are served together). Bisque was delicious. Really good. I mean really good, flavorful and soothing and comforting. Then the entree was served, an immense plate with that sandwich and a big pile of mashed potatoes. Sadly, that sandwich wasn't nearly as good as the bisque: quite salty, it wasn't real turkey, but more of a deli turkey. The gravy was good, and I was served plenty of it, but that turkey was quite salty, spoiling the dish. And the vegetables were tasteless things; I had two pieces of carrots, and ignored the rest. Nice ambience, friendly staff, strong coffee and a delicious bisque saved the day. I was left satisfied, yet disappointed. Too bad.

    Stopped in for lunch with one of my kids. Been here for breakfast a few times, always good. I got the chicken salad with lettuce and tomato, it comes with chips. For some reason the menu said it came with lettuce and tomato, but they charged me $.25 for each piece. Sandwich went from $8.50 to $9. Still pretty reasonable for the area. Was pretty busy when we arrived, but we got seated fast. Staff was very friendly and checked on us to see how we were.

    We fully support the high star rating for Lydia's Great diner in the middle of no where NJ. Justv a few minutes off the interstate but worth the detour. Large selection of lunch and breakfast items and a full bar. If you're ever passing by Netcong NJ you should stop in and have a bite.

    Decided to celebrate my mother's 73rd birthday by treating her to breakfast as her first activity of the day. Lidia's is a Breakfast and Lunch only restaurant. This used to be the old Polo's location. The inside was kept intact and is clean and organized. The bar area looked nice with the small pastry case. I'm only going to give my opinion on the Breakfast to be fair since we had breakfast. The menu is a typical Breakfast menu. It is a very affordable menu. It's a very quiet place which is perfect for us because we are hearing impaired. The waitress is an all in one...she is the hostess, waitress, & bus girl. She was very nice and welcoming. The guy there wasn't too personable he even turfed me off to the waitress when I asked him a question. Food tasted well, there were some hiccups here and there but my husband and I work in the restaurant business so we fixed it ourselves lol. I didn't really take a picture of our food because it's regular typical breakfast plates. They are good portions I must say!!! So with all that said... Definitely recommend to pop on by to give it a try. Especially if you want a low key satisfying meal with a pleasant environment.

    Lydia's favorite!

The service is consistently excellent--the staff is always friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. We never skip the mini brioche French toast to share.

We've tried several dishes, including the shakshuka, ranchero scramble, Whisk scramble, and the black garlic burger, and every single one has been delicious. Honestly, we haven't had anything here that we didn't love. The quality is consistently great, portions are generous, and everything is packed with flavor.

They are very quick on fulfilling orders. Much faster than Bill' Luncheonette so if you in a hurry then this place is a slam dunk. Ambiance- nice and clean inside. It is not so much an eat in place as it is a deli but it does have stools and a bar along the front to eat inside if preferred. More suited for take out orders. Definitely my #1 go to place for breakfast to go in the area! Try it and prove me wrong

This popular cafe is located right in the heart of Basking Ridge. It's small inside but there's outdoor seating also. We had a half hour wait for a table inside. The place has a very cozy feel to it and everyone we met who worked here was very friendly. I started my meal with a Vanilla Chai Latte and my wife had a Macha Latte. My wife ordered the Blintzes with blueberries and I had the Paris Morning breakfast. We both loved the food! My dish came with 2 potato pancakes, 2 poached eggs, and smoked salmon. Just delicious!

What we ordered: - Steak and Eggs (Grilled NY strip steak, two sunny side up eggs, breakfast potatoes with Chimichurri sauce) - Eggs Benny (Two poached eggs, thick cut candied applewood bacon on toasted baguette, topped with Hollandaise sauce served with grilled asparagus) - Lemonade The food was very good. I prefer my breakfast potatoes crispy so I didn't finish those but everything else cooked to perfection. This place was on my list for a while now so I'm glad I was able to cross it off and would recommend it!
