Reviews for The HAT Tavern in Summit, NJ
Decent food and drinks menu. A bit pricey but worth it for the quality. Outdoor seating was nice and there is ample parking once... you find your way behind the hotel. There is a bar inside and restrooms down a snaking hallway. Read more
I’m wish I can give them no stars. RUDE RUDE RUDE!!! After a long day at work and staying at the hotel. My girlfriend and I... decided to revisit this establishment. Upon entering and asking about a menu item. The manager rudely said “the item was aspecialty item” and walked away. Instead of offering us a menu or a suggestion that would be close to what we wanted we gotnothing. So if you enjoy high priced Bennigan's quality food with obnoxious management this is the place for you. Read more
I had high expectations due to it being the summit hotel. I was imagining an older look w dark wood accents. The bar fit that... but the rest of the room was bright green w bright lights which was odd. Our waiter didn’t bring us water, there was dead bugson the table. Our table had 4 different chairs and we had 3 different waiters? With covid shouldn’t we limit exposure to manypeople? I didn’t know who I was tipping. My food was good however, the fries were hard and tasted like Walmart Id dayMcDonald’s French fries are better. My pickle was odd tasting and soft not crunchy. Even though my food was good I would notreturn due to the atmosphere. The summit hotel is stunning on the outside and had old charm to it and I was hoping that for thedining but it didn’t. Read more
Very good food. High quality ingredients and amazing staff. Definitely recommend for individuals, couples, or groups.
The hotel was great... the tavern was even better. The bartender even showed us how to use Uber. Btw, the food was amazing...... crab cakes were some of the best I ever had. The whiskey pour was respectable too. Read more
I dined here and didn’t have high expectations from reading the reviews. So I wasn’t extremely disappointed. The food was... mediocre. My order was mixed up with my friend’s order. It wasn’t a huge deal except she found my steak to be moreappetizing than her own. We ordered calamari and spinach artichoke dip. Both were mediocre at best. Our waitress was reallynice. My drink was just okay. We wanted the chocolate lava cake but it wasn’t available. We stayed for quite some time justcatching up and having girl talk. We began to receive looks from the Manager and other staff. We thought they were closing butthe bar was still full. We were one of 3 tables in the dining room. So it wasn’t crowded. I usually take many pictures but Iwas truly unimpressed by the food that I only managed to take a pic of my entree. I also ordered the cookie dessert with icecream. I ate it. I definitely make a better cookie at home. That’s says a lot because I don’t bake much. No I will not beback. Read more
Much better for families with children. The ambiance is very casual (noisy between the kids and live music). We sat inside and... could barely hear each other across the table. The real reason for the 2 starts though is the food and service. It took way toolong for someone to greet us and we ordered everything once they finally did. It then took another 10/15 minutes to get ourdrinks.... The waiters were not attentive at all. Once the food came it was eh. My wife ordered her steak medium rare and it wasmore like medium well approaching well done. My burger was nothing special. The bun was terrible and couldn't even hold theburger so I was basically holding the meat of the burger while eating. It got very messy. Then the meat itself was very blandwith no seasoning or flavor. I wouldn't come back here. Read more
Came in just for drinks while staying at the Grand Summit Hotel. Decent hotel bar with a surprisingly good beer selection. Only... real downsides of the bar would have to be the current limited hours and the lighting. Closing at 9 seemed to be too early ifyou were hoping to enjoy a drink at your hotel. The problem with the lighting is just how bright it was. The bar could have acool speakeasy vibe sice it's located on the lower level of a hotel, but the lights are so bright it almost felt like acafeteria. Read more
