"The food here is overpriced and mediocre. The home fries were terrible, and the grilled cheese was just one thin slice. I paid $6 for three tiny pieces of bacon. The pancakes were incredibly dry, and we asked for Nutella but only got two thin lines of it on top. I really don’t understand the hype surrounding this place. It’s so expensive and simply not good at all; I honestly wish I could get my money back. It was the worst $75 I’ve ever spent on breakfast. Maybe their appearance on the Food Network boosted their reputation, but it didn't deliver. I wouldn't go back, as I prefer my local diner instead."

Love this place! Haven’t had anything bad. Sometimes I come in for breakfast and end up ordering lunch because the specials are so good. Dietary restrictions: Complete gluten-free menu. Lots of choices in the book of a menu!

It had been some time since our last visit to this restaurant, but today, my family of five, including my son who uses a wheelchair, decided to stop by. The hostess was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortably accommodated...

I hate writing reviews unless I have to but this place deserves it. The Jefferson diner used to be awesome and a great place to grab a bite until a few years ago there was a noticeable change. The prices got jacked up out the roof, the service got much worse, and the food is mid at best. The place got greedy and glides by now by their old reputation and the fact they were on tv a couple times. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time here. There’s plenty of other better restaurants in the area.

"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!"
