"This place is destined to become a legendary landmark should NJ be destroyed and we had to select which places were most memorable in our history. The ambiance and decor here are unique and beautiful all which seems to be artistically balanced and well taken care of. Beautiful backend restaurant settings, a large wood based bar setting, with side stations where darts and other games are available. The goal of my visit was to explore and savor their craft beers that are brewed onsite. I visit many breweries to explore their brews and while one finds many winners, there's always a few brews that aren't agreeable with your tastebuds. At Gaslight Brewery, every beer I sampled was a hit! There were 2 types of brews I'm generally not fond of, but they were so carefully crafted at Gaslight, that they were pleasurable experiences. In short, Gaslight has experienced brewers who understand that crafting beer is both an art and a science. Others in my party had foods and they expressed stellar joys with their eats. Menu does have a great selection of eats. Another awesome factor to this place: no overbearing TVs. I know this sounds odd, but many places are plastered with 8 15 large screen TV's blasting different sports simultaneously. It's distracting. It steals from your experience. Here, there are 2 4 small TV's that are strategically placed in areas for those that need to watch sports. The ambiance here is dim in evening with excellent selections of tunes playing in the background, while a candle quietly glows on your table. Initial service seemed a bit slow, but that's a waiter employee issue. Heck, the bartender with the legendary beard walked to our table to take drink orders and genuinely asked if we were enjoying our experience. He was kind, charismatic, and genuine in his sincerity. I believe he is the owner. Thank you sir for a memorable time. Place is highly recommended for good brews and eats in a chill ambiance. Oh, you can park around on side streets and use the brewery's rear entrance. Should you be interested in beer making, inquire about the courses and supplies available on the top floor."

"My family has been coming to this restaurant for more than 15 years, have celebrated many birthdays and special occasions here, I even worked here as a server, so it’s really disappointing for me to have to write this review. I came here recently after visiting family in town and have to admit both the service and food quality have absolutely plummeted. On the food Shrinkflation is real here, especially after having eaten here for years. Food servings have almost been halved a salad or pasta dish that took up almost the entire plate now covers about half. I could’ve gotten over this if the rattlesnake pasta had actually been edible and if the server had cared at all. We didn’t even complain the server came by and asked how the food was a few minutes after it was served. The noodles were completely over cooked and there was so much salt neither of us could eat more than 2 bites. Not to mention my prime rib steak was rubbery and dry, even though it was ordered medium rare. When we mentioned it was “.just okay,” the server literally said “Okay!” and smiled and walked away. Having worked here before, I know this is a completely unacceptable response. We were not looking to get comped anything we literally just wanted edible food. The server did not care to check on us again for the rest of service until he brought us the check, obviously intentional since he knew we weren’t happy with the food. We won’t be coming here anymore unfortunately after more than 100 visits over a decade. It’s not even that expensive, but I wouldn’t spend my money or time here after the quality of food and service we received. I hope Cooper’s Hawk across the street will start appreciating my family’s business for the next decade."
