The atmosphere feels warm and traditional, and the staff is consistently friendly and professional. Personally, I'd give it a solid 4 stars based on my own visits but it easily earns a 5 when it comes to hosting events. I've booked their private room twice. Once for a work event and once for a birthday dinner and both times were a huge success. Everyone raved about everything, from the attentive service to the food and drinks. Our client literally said, "There's no need to ever find another dinner place this is it.". It's absolutely an amazing place and a local classic for a reason. Perfect for a special occasion or when you want that traditional steakhouse experience done right without having to go to NY.

My husband raved that the calamari was like butter. My husband's steak was over done, but the server immediately resolved the situation and brought us a new one. 0 hesitation. And to top it off, the decor makes you feel like you're in a New York City restaurant. There's dark moody lighting great for a date night. We loved Roots and we will be back!

Stirling Tavern is a casual but polished neighborhood bar and grill with a trendy aesthetic and a…read morecozy ambiance; a menu featuring classic pub favorites elevated a notch above your average bar fare with gourmet ingredients; an innovative and seasonally-updated adult beverage program; and attentive and friendly service. The space on the first floor is divided into a lively bar area with plenty of TVs and a slightly quieter main dining room with comfortable booths and tables. There is also seating on an outdoor terrace on the second floor and a few tables in front of the restaurant on South Street if you're up for dining al fresco. It's a terrific option in Morristown that's sophisticated enough for a date on the outdoor terrace when the weather cooperates or a pre-theater meal in the dining room, yet casual enough for beers and appetizers while watching a game in the bar area. The menu captures the essence of modern American comfort food. Whether you're grabbing the Stirling Burger ($18) -- made from a tasty short rib and brisket blend -- or splurging on the Grilled New York Strip ($48) topped with crabmeat fries, the quality is evident. They are also great with dietary restrictions. Between the various poultry, fish, and vegetarian options on the menu and the kitchen's willingness to make moderate accommodations in any other dish, there's something for everyone. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the service. We recently celebrated my niece's 21st birthday here, and our server made it memorable by honoring her milestone birthday by playfully asking for her ID EVERY SINGLE TIME she ordered a drink. It became a running joke for the night and made the occasion feel extra special. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars for me is that both sides of the main floor can get pretty loud when it's packed and the prices are a bit on the higher side for casual dining. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: Stirling Tavern offers a Happy Hour Monday through Friday between 3pm and 6pm, which features specials on certain cocktails, wines, beers, and light snacks. You must be seated at the bar to take advantage of the promotional pricing. If you enjoy a good Old Fashioned, try the JB ($10), made with Four Roses bourbon, blood orange amaro, orange & angostura bitters. PRO TIP #2: Stirling Tavern does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on South Street or Maple Avenue. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority Lot #8 (@ 10 Franklin Street) and Vail Parking Area (@ 110 South Street). FREE on-street parking is located on MacCulloch Avenue, just two blocks from Stirling Tavern.

The setting was perfect in that it was perfectly suited for our party. The staff were super in helping us prepare for this special day.

Still…read moresame atmosphere, Michelle the waitress was an absolute treasure, bartenders staff all helpful and friendly, but MY GOD the food was for the most part AWFUL! The French onion soup was 100% delicious, although the soup itself was more on the lukewarm side rather than piping hot underneath the perfectly melted cheese. It is next where everything goes south. The "Delmonico" their long standing famous steak was hands down the worst cuts of meat in history. At least 8 ounces of waisted fat & grizzle to a tough flavorless piece of meat. The 'Famous" Arthurs potatoes tasted like they were sitting on a flat frill all day soaked in grease inedible. The real killer was the "FRENCH DIP" I have no words to describe the absolute disaster this sandwich was. Dry, chewy overcooked leftover roast beef from who knows where? It tasted like meat from a Swanson TV Dinner. The Au Jus was brown thin tasteless liquid. The side of coleslaw was so small it was not worth mentioning. Not quite sure what is going on here, still a full house and captive audience, but 13 years later, this is my last visit here.

We were a party of 12 and I sampled several dishes including the beet and carrot salad, salmon club sandwich and a hamburger. All was good (though I like my steak and eggs the best).

I went there on a Sunday night for my daughter's college graduation. She wanted to come back home…read moreafter her graduation and go to Chef Freddy's Table for a delicious meal. We have been here several times before and we are excited to celebrate this accomplishment. When we arrived, the restaurant did not seem to know we had a reservation. The restaurant was mostly empty, so there was no issue getting a table. Once we were sat, we were offered water but no other soft drinks. Bottles of wine were opened but there was nothing to keep the wine chilled. After being at the table for over 10 minutes, I needed to ask for menus. We needed to ask repeatedly for water and at one point, I went to the back of the restaurant to get the water for the table. It was hot in the restaurant and the music was loud. The music was changed erratically throughout the meal until near the end of the meal, when there was no music or ambience. So odd! The food received was delicious. There was an issue of my ordering the pork chop but being served a lamb chop. I know the difference! The staff insisted I was given a pork chop. I did not eat it. By that time, the other people at my table were done with their food. I went to speak with the server discreetly at the back of the restaurant in attempts to resolve my concerns. The server returned to the table several times to argue about what we spoke about and insist I take a dessert and drink wine. I did not have an entree due to the incorrect meal being served and the insistence that I was served the correct meal. I made it clear that this was a special event but there was no attention given to that, not even a 'congratulations' on her dessert plate. Ultimately, Chef Freddy's Table was generous with the amount they deducted from the check but that wasn't the point of our visit. The point was to have a positive experience to celebrate an accomplishment. I am so disappointed! Suggestion: Maybe not go there on a Sunday, call the restaurant versus booking online or just adjust your expectations if this is a special event.

We've now been to Masseria twice in one week, and that alone should say a lot!…read more Our first visit was during Restaurant Week, where they offered a pre-fixe menu. It was our first time there, and honestly, we went in a little skeptical after seeing some mixed reviews. But we were pleasantly surprised and ended up loving it so much that we came back the very next week with friends. The ambiance is super stylish and cute. The layout is really nice, with a few separate dining areas past the bar that make it feel a bit more intimate. We sat in the section with a view of the kitchen both times, which added to the experience. Food-wise, everything we tried was great. The meatballs and the cozze (mussels) appetizer were both delicious and definitely worth ordering. During Restaurant Week, we had steak, which was solid, but the real standout for us was the pasta. The pappardelle bolognese is spectacular and something we'd absolutely go back for again and again. We had seen reviews mentioning poor service, but that wasn't our experience at all. Both visits, the service was attentive and smooth with no issues. We were too full for dessert both times (a good problem to have!), but we're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Highly recommend giving this place a chance!

When our server came she asked, several times, about what drinks we wanted and when we didn't order alcoholic drinks and said all we wanted was food, our waitress seemed puzzled. This is a great place for cocktails and other drinks. You can get some small serving of decent food to accompany your drinks. Their menu focuses on alcoholic drinks. The food my party ordered on two occasions was 'fair' at best. When I'm in the area, focused on having a few drinks, and not very hungry, this will be my 'go to place.'
