Rail Paul Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Class act from Kevin Sippel. That has to be an incredibly wrenching situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E.L.A. Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. Â I was there not too long ago...JH is doing very well...while having a strong, loyal following, and people who enjoy and appreciate very good food, they seem to be also attracting a lot of newcomers and first-timers. What they are doing -- they are doing very well. Whenever I am in the area, I stop in, at least for a drink -- whether I am there for a show/concert, friends, whatever. JH is still "crowded" and that's a very good sign. Not too crowded, but a very nice buzz and crowd every time I am there. I know people who regularly go there from various parts of Northern NJ and I have friends in Central NJ who view it as a destination spot for the evening. I still like the various "rooms" or spaces -- so whatever I am looking for or feeling like -- I can get it at JH. From fine dining, to a casual, laid back lounge, to a seafood bar, or even a lounge space with live music -- they got it all. Regarding the parking -- I haven't had a problem once. I have used valet, and have also parked right across the street in the evening/municipal parking. Remember, this isn't in the heart of down-town Morristown vis a vis Times Square. They are next door to the PAC/theatre, there are pay lots nearby, valet, and street parking as well -- a la Montclair, Ridgewood, and so on. I have yet to have parking be a hinderance for me.

Anthony Bonner Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 So one meal at this place over the summer was pretty good. And now it's closed until 2021. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If true, that's one helluva lotta tasting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
E.L.A. Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Open? Catering/events only? Anyone have an update? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 My understanding is that they're currently open for indoor and outdoor dining (although not all their rooms were reopened following The Lockdown), after having been briefly closed again recently because of a COVID infection on the staff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rozrapp Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Oyster Bar is open for indoor and outdoor dining. There's a recent post on Hungry Onion about her excellent experience.

Anthony Bonner Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It's open. I've been a few times this fall. It's good. I thought it was better last year. It's not really quite as good as it should be but miles ahead of other options I think it, Common Lot, and Fascino are the best of the places I've been ( tho I've obviously not been out a tonne (eta : I dont like sitting in the Vail Bar. Oyster Bar if you aren't outside. Vail Bar reminds of Nathan's long ago point about NYC being the only city in the country you could reliably eat wo a TV) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Gonon on the list for less than in a store (though probably still 3x+ what they actually paid for it) Dinner last night was fine. Fascino is def better. The frying on my schnitzel was a problem. Its so convenient for us I'll keep going, but last night seems like a weaker meal than I have had in the past. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meredith380 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 The Oyster Bar is open, anyone dining indoors needs proof of being vaccinated.  Another good option in town is 1776 by David Burke. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meredith380 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Yes. It not just golf— it’s also football and baseball. I look forward to going there. You can get most of the menu there AFAIK. The restaurant and Top Golf are separated by a second bar.  The kitchen knows what they’re going and do it well and timely. The bar service is slow, 10 minutes for a glass of wine, 25 for a dessert coffee drink. Granted this was their first Saturday of service when I went   1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
