"2 1/2 stars My palate is never more open than after a long walk. Everything tastes delicious and I definitely grade on a curve as I try to burn calories in previous hours. However, there are exceptions for any rule, and no more true than my experience in kitchen and beer bar. I have often passed it on the way to Norvin Green or Ringwood, and have as a stop of, especially since it was classified online in a few places as a gastropub a real weakness of me). Wanaque has unfortunately not many decent post-hike options, especially with the closing of the restaurant right at the corner of 511 and Westbrook, where you turn to cross the reservoir in Norvin Green, so expectations were somewhat tempered. I came a few Saturdays after a five- or six-hour walk in Norvin Green, ready to climb down. The parking situation is somewhat unpleasant; unless you know the area, your instinct and what we did) is to park on the CVS over the road and cross your fingers that an excessively aggressive tug driver is not on the excuse.

It was a solid part for the price, and gave the rest of the meal, it was a rare case where I was glad to be filled on the app. As long as the perpetrator deaths are thoroughly boiled and the toppings are warm/properly softened or melted, you should go well. I also have a simple burger, and that was really one of the worst I had in a while. Originally it came with blows, but the waiter immediately remembered that I had just requested it and took it back to the kitchen. Points for this, but when the naked burger reappeared 20 seconds later, he had a little toppings residue and spice flavor. I would be curious about other opinions on this subject, but if the blows in question are not quite dry, I'm not crazy about brushing them off and presenting it as a simple burger.
