"My wife and I had our wedding here (both ceremony and reception) last week and I can honestly say it was exactly what we had hoped for. Tracey (co owner) was amazingly helpful from the start of the process and initial inquiry through finalizing the details for the run of the day. She also served as our officiant and was outstanding in that function, all while managing the other aspects of the day. The food was absolutely amazing. Andre (co owner/chef) is an outstanding chef and absolutely nailed the cocktail hour and lunch reception. We set the three meat options (steak/salmon/chicken), and gave Andre the freedom to come up with sides and sauces as he wished....and he did not disappoint! The wedding cake deserves a shoutout of its own as it was out of this world delicious moist and bursting with flavor with the right amount of sweetness!! All of our family could not get over how good the food was. Good food was our top priority for the wedding so we could not have asked for anything better! We also can't say enough about the service. My wife and I both felt extremely well attended to throughout the day, even before the event started (I was there early to decorate, she was there early to get dressed). And then through cocktail hour they continued to bring drinks and food over to where we were taking our 1 on 1 photos and family portraits so that we didn't have to miss out on all the amazing food on our special day! From what guests told us, everybody else felt very well taken care of as well. The staff is very professional and always knows the right thing to do/say. The lakeside venue was beautiful...not much more to say there. Just gorgeous on a summer day. Tracey and Andre have done an amazing job building a great restaurant and wedding venue. From our first visit we knew we had to get married here because we knew we could trust them to help make our day special. It almost felt like they were a part of the family by the time we got closer to the wedding. All of this, and the price is still pretty dang good when compared to a lot of the other wedding venues in NJ they price their services reasonably for the high level of food and service offered, but they certainly do not price gouge like at other wedding venues. We can't say enough good things about this place and would give it 10 stars if we could! P.S. tip to anyone who is getting married here: The pizza station for cocktail hour was insanely good. Freshly made wood fired pizzas by Andre himself...can't beat that...definitely was a crowd pleaser!"

This restaurant may be small, but it offers outstanding food, exceptional service, and a cozy atmosphere. The music by Music for the Moment was fantastic. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 5.

Great experience! We did the 6 courses tasting menu and the food was absolutely amazing. Service is also very good, and they have a great selection of non-alcoholic wines and mocktails. We were seated outdoor, the weather was nice, everything is perfect!

The service at this restaurant is unmatched in the area; the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive! The food is absolutely SPECTACULAR! We've dined here several times, and they consistently surprise us with complimentary small dishes that are always unique and innovative. This is hands down my favorite fine dining spot within an hour's drive! Keep up the fantastic work, everyone!

What a fantastic little gem of a restaurant! It's been far too long since my last visit, and after dining here tonight, I really wish I had come back much sooner. The young and friendly staff, combined with the amazing food, make for an incredible experience. Plus, it's BYOB! The lamb chops were exceptionally tender and delicious, taking lamb to a whole new level. I never thought chicken Milanese could be improved, but they managed to elevate it remarkably. I can't wait to return soon. This restaurant is definitely worth discovering and visiting! View menu

Had dinner reservations for 6pm. We asked for seating outside, hoping to sit by the lake, but all tables under the canopy were taken. The waiter set up a table rt on the grass, lake front! The wait staff are very friendly and accommodating. They evening was cool and comfortable and they offered us blankets and big spray if we needed them. Food was delicious and the setting couldn't be any more romantic. You can bring your own beer, wine, or alcohol. The menu has plenty to choose from and it is all delicious! Great place for a date, anniversary diner or birthday celebration.

We had our micro wedding here in October. The venue is absolutely perfect. Tracy and Liz were very accommodating and easy to work with. It made planning simple and relaxed. The lake view was beautiful for the ceremony and for pictures. All of our guest raved about the food, especially the appetizer Swedish meatballs. Our waiter was professional and accommodating. He took care of all of our guests needs. The cake was delicious and beautifully decorated. If you are looking for a wedding venue that is reasonably priced, has beautiful views for pictures, and great service this is the place for you.

We had our wedding at Andre's and it was an exceptional experience. First, the food is phenomenal. Andre is an incredible chef. Every time we see guests, they still rave about the food, especially the pizza. The service is also fantastic. All of the servers are friendly, warm, and welcoming. The venue is beautiful the lake is the perfect backdrop for a an outdoor ceremony, and Tracey has great taste when it comes to all things design decor. We've also been to Andre's several times for dinner, including the tasting menu, and we always have a great experience excellent food, kind staff, great atmosphere. I highly recommend Andre's for your next date night or event! View menu

We began our meal with lightly smoked ricotta paired with pickled beets and pear. For my main course, I chose duck breast served with rice and cauliflower, and for dessert, I indulged in the flourless chocolate cake. My key takeaway from the meal was the emphasis on texture, freshness, and subtle flavors. Nothing was overpowering; instead, the dishes allowed the natural flavors to shine without making you reach for the salt and pepper shaker. The chocolate cake was truly decadent, as it should be, and the additional small plates were a delightful surprise. In between courses, we were treated to fresh mozzarella and tomato, a refreshing matcha and mint tea, and delicious marshmallows and cho...

I can't say enough good things about Andre's Lakeside Dining. I had a fantastic time at dinner last night. The ambiance of the outdoor patio area, the service, the live music and the food were all fantastic. I will recommend using/bringing bug spray as there are a lot of gnats as the night goes on. FYI, I attended Andre's on Casual Wednesday where the menu is different. My friends started with the Quail and Pork Belly appetizer. I tried the Quail and it was very tender. This particular appetizer is not really big enough to share in my opinion. We also started with the Jersey Girl Burrata again the appetizers are not large but just enough to get a taste. Burrata was very fresh. Also for the t...

"Recently saw an article written by Peter Genovese with a ranking of the top 50 Hot Dog rankings in New Jersey. Was pleasantly surprised to see a Morris County hot dog location make the top ten and happy to see that Andy's Roadside Dive was ranked #5. I've been know to take long road trips for a good dog and was happy this spot was close to home. Stopped in for a late lunch and a few others had the same idea. Prior to arriving, I never really looked at the menu and was planning on achilli dog. However, once I arrived and saw the menu, my plan quickly fell apart. Was intrigued by the hot dog creations that were available, and while wanting a classic chilli dog, realized I had to pick a specialty dog. I picked the Han Tsolo (Mtn Dew rice, steamed broccoli, chicken nuggets, General Tso sauce, and hot crushed pepper blend) mainly because it was a new menu item and asol because I probably will never come across this combination again. Also ordered Dive Fries (Fresh, Hand-cut Freedom Fries with W’ham seasoning) The meal was spectacular! While the combination may sound off, it was a great lunch. The freedom fries were also a great addition to the meal. While I often grab meals to go, was happy to have ordered to dine in. With outside and inside dining options available, being it was nicely air-conditioned, I opted for the indoor experience. After eating the dog and fries, had some room for one more and went with the Dive Dog (Andy’s chili Andy’s onions all over your dog) which was also a fantastic combination. Definitely will be back again to try some of the other creations that were on the menu. While waiting for the food and eating, had a nice conversation with Andy himself and he was a great guy to talk to. Having been there since 2011, I'm a bit bummed that I've never heard of this place before, especially since it's so close to home. Will definitely be back in the future."

"We pass by this restaurant all the time and decided to give them a try tonight. They were doing takeout only. Their website did not indicate this, but when I looked later on Google I saw, so my bad there. We decided to just place a to-go order and ordered from their website. I got a message indicating that my order was placed and would be ready in time. I have no idea what in time means, but I 'm now guessing you will get your order before the end of time. Nothing indicated how long the wait was or what time we should pick up our food. We decided to just sit in the car for 20 minutes and then go check. The area people were standing in to wait for their orders was packed. The people working in the restaurant were doing everything possible to ignore whoever walked in to pick up their order. I got a worker 's attention, asked if they had our order, and she walked away doing other things and never gave me an answer. About 10 minutes later I asked another worker and was met with the same response; she acknowledged I was speaking to her but she then just went about her business without giving me an answer. They even had an infant in the previous seating area and were too busy to tend to him/her. Eventually (1 hour and 15 minutes after the order was placed), they put our order on the counter. We thought maybe the wait would be worth it and arrived home excited to finally eat our food. We were disappointed to say the least. The food was edible, but nothing special. Shoprite 's sushi department 's food is just as good or possibly better."
