The title of “most stunning” is certainly subjective. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, I think many of us can agree that this restaurant is a truly enchanting place to dine. While there are many other Garden State eateries that parallel this particular restaurant in terms of charm, most have already heard of places like the Walpack Inn and Rat’s at Grounds For Sculpture. I hope I can delight you all with a new discovery, though it is already quite popular.
