    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.

    It was an excellent experience—the food was delicious, the setting was beautiful, and, above all, the service from the staff was spectacular: their respect, patience, and helpfulness in recommending dishes and drinks. I would return a thousand times. Thank you for everything.

    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.
