Best Historic Restaurants in Wallington

Chez Fifi did not disappoint! We had an exceptional experience from the French martini to the chocolate mousse, each dish was better than the next. The dining room has a certain je ne sais quoi and made for a lively dinner. The service was great too!

My kids (9 and 11) took the lead on this brunch review. They insisted we need to add it to our NY rotation. My son was especially appreciative of the cookie with the candle at the end for his birthday. The grown ups loved it too, food, view, vibe and service.

We haven't been to Chart House in a long time. We enjoyed it so much more than the last time. Our waiter was very attentive and constantly came by to check on us. I appreciated it considering it was Valentine's Day and it can get hectic to the point where he could've disappeared for a while but that was NOT the case here. Very nice man and polite and patient with our two children and their orders. Overall enjoyed our time and the place was as beautiful as we remembered. Oh! They even sat us near the window which had the most beautiful view of nyc. Didn't ask for a window seat so it was a very nice perk to have them sit us there.

Terrific Sunday brunch while our boys were at the West Point lacrosse clinic.
