Rat's Restaurant

What a beautiful restaurant! Wife and I had our anniversary here and my wife loved it.. Service was excellent! Food was Superb! The atmosphere and setting was fantastic! Stop by if you're visiting Grounds For Sculpture!

We enjoyed this place! 4th time we have dinner here and never disappointed! Everyone is very attentive and knowledgeable. Food is prepared with better ingredients, fresh and upscale dinning, portions are generous and we had to take home some of it. We had the bone in NY steak, juicy and flavorful came served with potatoes cooked on duct fat, very good flavor, Cod was flaky and tasty, short ribs tangy and delicious, half chicken roasted with a carrot sauce chicken was juicy and full of flavor, we shared a cheese platter appetizer very original and tasty Star fruit jam, couple flavorful types of cheeses. We highly recommend the Rat's restaurant. No wonder is our 4th time dinning here!

Rat's is truly a memorable dining experience! Amazingly unique decor and impeccably flawless professional service make this place the one of the "best kept secrets" in NJ. The cuisine was delicious and fairly priced for the high quality. Steamed mussels, onion soups, cheese platter all outstanding. The short rib of beef and bone- NY strip steaks excellent. The cod was a bit overcooked but the celery root pave amazing. The side of charred broccolini is a must try. The deconstructed lemon pie, creme brulee, ice cream stuffed profiteroles and carrot cake sublime. The wine list is second to none worthy of kudos. I highly recommend Rat's for a special night out.

An absolutely amazing experience--yes, it's pricey, but you're paying for something truly exceptional. It feels like dining in an art gallery (a sculpture park)--a haven for the artistic mind--tucked away in a serene, natural setting. Very French, with authentic cuisine--everything we had was simply divine.

Beautiful spot nestled within the Grounds for Sculpture. The decor is charming, the staff is friendly and incredibly helpful and the food is better than 99% of New Jersey restaurants. Do not skip the popover and garlic compound butter to start your meal off right - it's included and not to be missed! After dessert, be sure to take a stroll around the gardens - see the waterfall and walk off your meal & share a kiss on the Monet bridge in the moonlight...it's a perfect way to end an unforgettable date night!

I have eaten here a few times now. It's a lovely break if you're at Grounds for Sculpture, but also great by itself, too. The atmosphere outside is obviously amazing. I highly recommend the cheese plate, which is always changing. It is amazing each time. The service is great and its such a nice place to just come and relax. I never feel rushed when I'm here. I would suggest a reservation, especially on nice weekends.

I came here for my niece's birthday brunch. Everyone was friendly and very welcoming. Starting from the host, to the manager and our waiter Nick. Nick our waiter went above and beyond. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. Nick made our visit memorable. Thanks!

What a great venue. #1 is the setting and interior. I highly recommend walking around and exploring. Great classic food in an old school environment. Servers are friendly and hard-working. We are from out of town and we'll make this a stop anytime we're nearby.
