Gladstone Tavern

The food was expensive but good. My only issue is how thin the chicken schnitzel was. For the price that chicken should be thick and with a side. No side comes with it. Ordered fries on the side, the fries were excellent. My friend enjoyed his duck ramen soup, he said it was way above his expectations. The blue berry dessert was warm and a bight crispy. With the lavender icecream and lemon curd, it was worth it.

With apple cider on the simmer this place smelled just like fall. The food was stellar with a crunchy sourdough BLT to dip into a rich butternut squash soup. I will be back. Service unmatched and a menu that is clearly putting innovative spins on american cuisine this is a must try. I saw so many things I have to come back and try as I saw dishes leaving the kitchen.

I dined with my dog on the terrace. Food was delicious. I had the Benedict Crab Cake. My dog, Nala, had the Stew. She is a rescue from NJSH Pet Rescue who is living her best life now.

The schnitzel was absolutely delicious, and the burgers were solid too. We really enjoyed the pretzel with cheese sauce—definitely a standout—as well as the flatbread. The atmosphere was awesome, and the staff were great—friendly, attentive, and really on top of everything.

The only downside was the number of kids running around. It got a bit distracting since some parents didn’t seem to be keeping them in check. Other than that, it was a great experience and I’d definitely go back.

I ordered the lunch special of split pea soup and pork belly grilled cheese.

The split pea soup was ok, but I feel that I am bias as I am very partial to my mommas. 😊

The pork belly grilled cheese was great, just the bread was a little too toasted and stiff. Hard to bite into without scratching the roof of your mouth. Other than that, it was full of flavor and a great combination of aromas and textures.

They certainly had a great selection of food, simple and small, but that just means everything is fresh. They have menu specials that change which also makes it exciting.

If I were a local, I'd come back just to see what else they would create.
