    A 5:15 PM pre-theater dinner that was delicious, well-presented by a courteous waitstaff and, most importantly, timed perfectly to get us to the PaperMill in plenty of time. Will definitely be returning.

    We really enjoyed the Sunday brunch prior to a show at Papermill. The food and service were great. The only thing that would have made it better was if the restaurant opened a little earlier. With a 1:30 show a 3 course brunch is a little rushed starting an noon. We had the maple cured bacon and hummus as the starters and the lobster bennies and the short rib fajitas as the mains. I had the flourless chocolate torte and hubby had a beverage. Very good deal for $35 per person. Definitely recommended.
