Best Cosy Restaurants in Bernardsville

Excellent dinner with a unique menu, warm and friendly atmosphere and a impressive wine list.

Love the place. The hostess Victoria was delightful and Jackie our waitress was also fantastic.The manager however does not make you feel very welcomed.

Went for brunch near Christmas. Restaurant was decorated nicely. Steak and eggs and omelets were outstanding along with the service. Never felt rushed even though it was very busy. Highly recommend.

There is no place quite like End of Elm. The variety of small plates and beautifully crafted cocktails, all served expertly by helpful and attentive staff in a room with rotating art pieces on the walls, combine to make this an unforgettable and highly satisfying experience. It is decidedly pricey but well worth it.

We'd eaten at Restaurante MV the weekend before. Osteria Morini restaurant is not as pretty as Restaurante MV, but the overall quality of the food and service for us outweighed the ambiance. Between the two restaurants we preferred the cost and the quality of the food here, although it was slightly higher than a restaurant in Chester and in Lebanon we enjoy. We shared an app, a salad, each ordered an entrée and shared a dessert. We started with the Melanzana (fried eggplant balls) pomodoro, ($15.00) which was delicious and an appetizer we'd never had before. We moved onto the Romana salad which is essentially a Caesar with baked capers, adding a crunchy twist. ($16.00) From here we ordered a chicken parm. (huge portion) with the option of either garlic spinach or pasta. (no extra charge for pasta like Restaurante MV) which was cooked perfectly. ($32.00) We also ordered the short rib special. ($32.00) The portion was small, but the dish was rich with a amazing deep beefy flavor, making the size of the dish was adequate. (Nothing to take home here) For dessert we shared the donuts with toppings and ice cream. I am normally not a donut fan, but these were well worth getting, accompanied by an expresso and cappuccino. The only downside I would say was the restaurant and ladies room were so cold to the point where I ordered hot tea before dinner, instead of a bottle of wine. I didn't want anything cold which was a loss to the restaurant. We would definitely recommend Osteria Morini for a dinner out and will be back again.
