Guide Me Home to North Jersey

It’s always easy to find a formal restaurant in which to eat dinner. Just make a reservation, invite some other people and dress up! But what if you live in Harding Township and want an easy, quick meal? In my previous blog of October 6th, I discussed casual lunch spots around Harding Township. Here, I will talk about dinner options, both sit down and take-out. Remember, the three restaurants I discussed in my first blog also serve dinner!

Again, full disclosure: I like food with taste and creativity and I am not a restaurant critic, just a resident.

Great take-out is always a challenge! La Famiglia Gourmet on Main Street in Mendham offers a unique way to enjoy true Italian food. Tony and Clara Grande of Il Capriccio in Whippany own and manage the store. Click on the hyperlink and explore the mouth-watering menus, or visit them in person and make a selection to take home for lunch or dinner.

For casual dining, try the Bamboo Grille in Basking Ridge. You can enjoy beautiful views of the Basking Ridge Country Club year round, and eat lunch or dinner outside on the patio in the summertime. The menu is filled with great appetizers, salads, entrees, and of course, burgers–don’t forget to check out the specials!

The Black Horse Tavern in Mendham has been serving its guests since 1740. The Pub, located next door, now serves lunch, dinner and brunch and has a sit down menu as well as a to-go menu! Popular offerings such as the Oyster or Clam Bar and an extensive menu can be found there every night!
