We tried the Claremont on a Living Social coupon. The evening was warm, and they had opened the french doors in the bar area to cool things off. We were seated in a small dining area across the hall from the bar. The bench seats along the wall were rather uncomfortable, because the wood paneling had a ridge, and I... More

Chanced on the Claremont Tavern for pleasant dining experience. Friendly professional staff, great atmosphere and food. Absolutely first rate: angus berger, steak tips salad, nice selection of well maintained beer and ale. The chef/owner is on site running the front and back - exactly what works best to make a great venue. Bville has been overdue for a great tavern. More

New owners took over middle of 2011. We read about it in the Star Ledger Review wherO they raved about the food and decided to give it a try. Food was fantastic, it was tavern/american food with a twist. Kind of Gastro-Tavern without the high prices or stuffy atmosphere. More

Had lunch at The Claremont recently with friends... we shared an "Ecuadorian Martini" (a shrimp/avocado ceviche), perfect calamari, and exquisite onion rings. We ate downstairs in the bar area... the place is very casual, yet the quality of the food is top-notch. They have a wide variety of choices for lunch, including a selection of burgers and sandwiches, individual pizzas,... More

It's real simple. The place looks nice, and you might be fooled into thinking it is all the way up until you sit down. The menu is overpriced and the food is never worth it. I tried when this place first opened and thought the service and cooking were because the place was new; it's not. The service has gotten... More

I was very excited when I discovered the glowing Le Petit Chateau reviews on Trip Advisor. The comments supported other reviews I have read recently. Unfortunately, I can not continue the praise. The greeting upon arrival was far from warm. The first impression of the room was very good until I sat down and saw the marred wallpaper next to... More

This is a great restaurant. Everything is very good and the service is excellent as well. Scott (chef) is very creative and every meal is something of a master piece. Very European in style and feel. A small bit of France in New Jersey. Excellent and inventive specials and a very good wine cellar. More
