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.

How Do We Review (analyze) Restaurants?

New Jersey Leisure Guide strives to provide analytic restaurant reviews .

The methodology used is research, analysis driven --- as opposed to that of a single restaurant critic or a viewer comment posting board.

Data is gathered from our viewers e-mail restaurant comments, Internet research, and professional restaurant critics. The data is sorted, (weeding out the obvious biased, "bone to pick", and out of consensus comments), analyzed, and the review is created.
