Best Date Night Restaurants in Long Valley

It was our third time at Barka. Even though it's pricey, the service and food are excellent, and you get decent portions. I would definitely go again.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the Metuchen area. Service: Hostess and servers were welcoming and really provided great service. Even with the pressure of the Valentine’s Day crowd they kept their cool and really kept the operation moving and provided top service. We didn’t feel rushed but they were able to keep us sitting the 2 hr max time slot during for this holiday. Food and cocktails: Sooo delicious. There was nothing we ordered that wasn’t delicious and really well made. The cocktails were perfect. The right mix. Thank you for the great cooks and bartenders. Atmosphere: Super cool. Loved the artwork at the bar. They had entertainment that wasn’t overly loud but really drew our attention. Just a fun place to be on a Friday night. I’ll definitely be back and if you’re in the area you should check it out as well.

Solidified as my new favorite location. Capital Grille has a great reputation for style, service and quality so I’m not totally surprised by our great dinner today but I will say this location went above and beyond for Valentine’s Day! Special thanks to our server, Matt for being a rock star with attentiveness, great communication, friendliness and charm. He took care of us without missing a beat. We ordered the Filet and Lamb Chops both seasoned and cooked to perfect. Also the new style of lobster and crab cake was amazing with the right sear and amazing flavor. The lobster bisque was creamy and well seasoned and the sides were a homerun (Sautéed Spinach and Mashed Potatoes). Thank you Parsippany location for showing out and putting on a great show. Clean and classy ambience left us walking away saying money well spent. Lots of parking and easy to find location.

Great place. Way better than we expected. Ambience was good. Food awesome.

It’s our first time at this place, even though we’ve been seeing it for over two decades. In short, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, as it was light but very flavorful - not as salty as we thought we’d get from almost any Italian restaurant we’ve been to, some of which are very good in their own right. However, this lightness in taste stood out, be it the prosciutto in the salad or the clams in pasta. We’ll come back for sure.
