Reviews for Washington House Restaurant in Basking Ridge, NJ
$1 oysters on Wednesday is my personal favorite. They are not smelly. Don’t have sand and very tasty. The interior is recently... refurbished and feels cozy. And the beat part? Avocado fries! Have you tried them? Read more
Ordered the shrimp and risotto. Lots of good flavor. A bit disappointed in the risotto. Was not reduced at all so it was very... super and under cooked. Flavors were all there. Fish and chips were on par with quality fish and chip joint. Service wasexceptional. Read more
we really loved this restaurant. it was a delightful experience from beginning to end. our server Miguel was excellent and knows... exactly how to service a table The food is really delicious. The French onion soup, outstanding and the potato leek soup wasquite delicious. we tried the lobster thermador it was a little cheesy and not enough lobster flavor, but it was enjoyable Thefilet mignon is melt in your mouth and something I'll crave again, and the pork loin quite good. they have the best margaritait's called: omg! wow! yum! yum! we also enjoyed the pot de creme. their chef knows what they're doing! it's also verysmartly organized in that there is a team serving the table, drink and food runners. that makes a big difference! The onlyimprovement would be to their hostess staff, we had a weird experience getting a table, even though we arrived at 4:50 and wecould get an open table reservation at 5:30. that confounded us a bit.

The staff were amazing and the food was out of this world. I had probably the best beef tenderloin I have ever had, hericots... verts, truffle mashed potatoes with a bernaise sauce. Delightful! I will be back again! Read more
It’s a really nice ambiance. Real trees in a enclosed tent lit up for a nice glow. The menu had a lot of really popular... options that scream fine dining like caviar, salmon/tuna tartare, truffle etc but upon closer inspection it’s just troutcaviar that they put an $80 price tag on (which is kinda like really??). We ended up ordering a Brussels sprout salad which wasprobably the best part of the meal, calamari which was clearly from the freezer, a ribeye that was probably from Walmart and aburger with previously frozen sweet potato fries. We didn’t stay for dessert. Read more
This place has become an amazing indoor/outdoor seating venue that provides more than adequate safety precautions surrounding... this covid era. Menu is extensive with a wide variety of chef prepared apps and entrees. Bar menu is great with multiple beerson tap. Service is friendly and attentive. Would recommend 10/10! Pictured is the blackberry fields vodka based cocktail.(Amazing) Read more
Great outdoor option with the tent they have set up. Decent amount of ventilation and thankfully wasn’t too crowded when we... went. We tried to get an extra table to put on the side of ours so the lot of us didn’t have to squish together but theyweren’t allowed to do so. They did managed to give us one extra chair so that was somewhat helpful. Staff was very nice andthe food was delicious. Recommend the red snapper fish tacos. Absolutely delicious. The shrimp and scallop Fresca was good buteven better when we added hot sauce. Dessert was pretty much perfect. The brownies were warm and gooey on the inside whichpaired well with the vanilla ice cream. Read more
We were placed in the outdoor seating area which had a warm ambiance with a live singer/guitarist. However, the inside aesthetic... is much nicer and would have preferred sitting there. We enjoyed our appetizers of fried calimari and fresh oysters. My maindish was a ahi tuna poke bowl that was light and delicious especially after eating more than my share of fried calimari. Read more
