The Station at Mountain Lakes

"We had dinner at the Station at Mountain Lakes for the first time on Sunday 1/14, to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we definitely were not disappointed. This is a classic stone restaurant in a train station. Atmosphere is eclectic and cozy. Service and food were both excellent. I was undecided between two kinds of wine, and our waiter offered me a sample of both kinds so I could decide. This was the first time I’ve experienced that in a restaurant and I really appreciate the gesture. We had the Savory Puff as an appetizer… sausage, mushrooms, and fresh mozzarella in a puff pastry with cream sauce. It was so delicious, that we didn’t even get a picture. For dinner, I had the stuffed salmon with crabmeat and my husband had the chicken toscana. Portions were generous, and both of our dishes came with some rice and a mix of vegetables. For dessert, we had Grandma’s Chocolate Cake. The chocolate reminded me of a candy bar, and it was served with some strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. Coffee was another win, so we both left impressed and the Station was an excellent choice. We would definitely return and bring our family to celebrate another special occasion. It also should be noted that this is a scratch restaurant, so everything is made fresh. No short cuts or anything of that nature, as was evident in the delicious food that was served. Best of luck to Carlos and his team, as this is a hidden gem and we will definitely be back!"

"Excellent service and food! Service was top rate and personable. The building is eclectic and cozy and I cannot say enough about the food… the filet was so tender and cooked to perfection… 100% recommend!!!"

"My wife and I went to The Station at Mountain Lakes for an impromptu date night, which has been on our list for a while, ever since it was recommended highly to us. We began with the Brie in a Puff Pastry with Raspberry and Poached Pears, which was a special appetizer, that was delicious! For our entrées, I ordered the Gorgonzola & Herb Crusted Filet Mignon with crispy shoestring potatoes and sautéed spinach, which was UNBELIEVABLE! My wife ordered the Hanger Steak with scalloped potatoes and sautéed spinach, which was fabulous! For dessert, we got one of their specials, Raspberry Sorbet, that was portioned generously and to die for! The meal was spectacular and reasonable, given the exorbitant prices these days. The service, ambiance were good, for an overall experience that we're eager to duplicate, so we'll be back!"

"Great food and environment. Consistently provides a top notch experience."
