Ive been hearing so much about the place, live nearby and remember it back 25 years ago when the wonderful antiques were all still in place. Visited twice, once in April and then again on June 15th. On the first visit, my wife and I arrived and there was one person at the bar and no one else in the place. I was surprised at the dilapidated appearance of the building with shingles apparently rotting and falling off with all paint badly chipped. Inside there were none of the beautiful antiques to be seen and the atmosphere is somber as opposed to cozy. Steaks we had were ok, nothing special and the bartender, now busy with people at bar was doing double duty of tending the bar and waiting on tables. The Centerton salad we heard so much about was overwhelming with garlic and salt. Overall an average experience. Tried another visit with another person who wanted to go with me and my wife. Got there at 630 and parking lot was half full. Walked in, bar was very crowded and the first thing the guy behind the bar says is "Do you have a reservation". When I responded "no" he said "youre going to have a long wait" - not "sorry" or apologetic in any way. To top it off, he then proceeds to tell us "we only have one server on tonight!" What the hell kind of restaurant takes reservations is three quarters full and has only one server on?? Never, never again.

I wanted a special meal to celebrate my sisters birthday and our dinner exceeded my expectations. Our fine server Cody first brought out the Centerton Sampler appetizer which included 3 each of big clams casino, 3 stuffed mushrooms, and 3 large well chilled shrimp with a delicious obviously homemade cocktail sauce. We decided to try the Centerton salad, which could have been a meal by itself! It was a chilled mix of greens and shredded cheese in a garlic based dressing. We both ordered the Governors Pork Tenderloin, which was tender pork with a tasty crust topped with apples soaked in an apple brandy sauce. We ended up taking at least half of our entrée home because we wanted to save room for dessert. In house made pound cake made with almond paste and topped with real whipped cream and fresh Jersey blueberries and cannoli stuffed with ricotta cream were a wonderful finish to our meal. Oh, great coffee, too.

My wife and I have been dining here for several years and have always had a fantastic experience. I would call this place a hidden gem. Besides it being an historical landmark with the ambiance of an Old City restaurant, the cuisine is unmatched. Sit at the bar or enjoy a cozy table by the fire. We have had the pleasure of trying several dishes and havent found one we havent loved, especially the Centerton salad. The service is exceptional, always accommodating, speedy and friendly. Love this place!

Went about a year ago and the food was good for some reason the food tonight was poor. The taste was off. Salad was over seasoned and steak was crappy. Will be a long time before we go back.
