Restaurant Review
Set in the Somerset Hills area, The Gladstone Tavern is an upscale yet casual landmark restaurant housed in an attractively restored 1847 farmhouse.
Under the direction of Executive Chef and co-owner Tom Carlin, formerly with the note able Gotham Bar and Grill in NYC, the Gladstone Tavern has in recent years been able to achieve improvements where it is now considered to be a destination restaurant for families and groups of friends celebrating a special occasion.
The main dining room is attractively decorated with an equestrian theme and features a field stone fireplace with a bar and lounge. Upstairs there is a spacious private dining room with a stone fireplace, vaulted ceiling and a cocktail porch is available for social and corporate functions. There is a life-size horse statue on the porch.
In the warmer months there is outdoor dining under a covered terrace with an outdoor fireplace overlooking the herb garden.
The Gladstone Tavern is open for Lunch Monday through Saturday from 11:30 am to 2:30pm.
Dinner, seven days a week from 5pm.
Sunday Brunch from 11:30 am to 3pm.
They are also open for Thanksgiving Day. Christmas Eve, and New Years Eve.
