2. Providence Kitchen & Bar.
1288 Springfield Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 464-0096
What they are saying: PERFECT execution of steak frites. The steak was tender, juicy, flavorful, and cooked to the exact correct temp. Their profiteroles are excellent as well: crispy outside, tender inside, wrapped around a luxurious ice cream.great selection of wines, lovely patio out back when it's warm, and friendly, knowledgeable staff and management who really love food and drink. One of the few restaurants in new providence that have a liquor license too, so for a california transplant like me, it's so nice to be able to stop in for a cocktail. A more sophisticated, modern palate that is hard to find west of the city.
3. Moe's Bistro.
535 Central Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 840-4540
What they are saying: The ambiance inside the restaurant is warm and very inviting. The acoustic guitarist made the vibe even better. BYOB is a plus! They are getting a bar in the next few months which we look forward to as well. Everything about our dining experience was fantastic. The food was amazing. The surf and turf was to die for. One of the best crab cakes I've ever had and they served this side potato that had cheese inside and was wrapped in bacon. I've never had anything like it! Amazing. The chocolate warm lava cake was perfected. Everything was truly so delicious to taste coming from a foodie that dines out regularly. The service was very attentive and pleasant. The owners came out to greet us during our meal and they are the most genuine nicest people. We look forward to telling our friends about this hidden gem and becoming regulars since there is so much more we want to try on their menu.
4. Dim Sum Villa.
1260 Springfield Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 898-0388
What they are saying: Dim sum here is superb! No need to go anywhere else if you are lucky enough to live near here. For me it's a 40 minutes drive, but worth every mile of drive. Their shrimp dumpling "Har Gow" was made perfectly with the crystal clear dough with generous shrimp filling. Here is where the chef showcased his culinary craftsmanship by creating multiple pleats on the Har Gow. This bite size delicacy is much like sushi. You will experience the shrimp juice oozes out when you take a bite at the best shrimp dumpling. When you had the best, you know you are in for a tasty feast with as many dim sum dishes as your stomach will hold. Going with a large group will enable you to try a lot more dishes.
5. Latin American Deli.
76 Marion Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 473-9962
What they are saying: This place is a gem and just what New Providence needed! The ladies that run the deli are super nice and always remember my husband and I. I'm vegetarian and they always hook me up with delicious food. My husband eats meat and agrees everything there is delicious and made with love. Everyone needs to go there and support this awesome deli and the amazing ladies that run it!
6. Old Glory Restaurant.
1259 Springfield Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 665-1753
What they are saying: Just passing through, sat at the counter here for brunch and was impressed. LOVED IT. Nice homey feel, the kind you want from a diner. Heather, my waitress, was friendly, helpful and attentive. She suggested the Monte Cristo, and if you like that kind of thing, it was awesome. French toast, dusted with powered sugar, fresh ham cut from the bone and melted cheese (only possible improvement, use cheddar or gouda or something instead of American. But it is a diner lol). Extensive lunch and breakfast menu. I don't come through New Providence very often, but when I do, I will eat here. Yum. 5 stars.
7. Copploa Ristorante & Pizzeria.
590 Central Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 665-0266
What they are saying: Coppola has 2 sides, the take out side and an elegant restaurant side. The service is quick, efficient and cordial. Marco always has a positive attitude and outstanding customer service. The food is fantastic! The best Italian eatery in the area.Love this place
8. Avenue Deli.
1272 Springfield Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 464-6766
What they are saying: Best sandwich shop! Fresh, delicious, generous sizes and very fairly priced. Would highly recommend this to anyone. The owners and staff are super friendly.
9. Prestige Diner & Restaurant.
1318 Springfield Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 665-0211
What they are saying: I can't believe I have driven past this diner so many times and didn't stop.. shame on me. The owners/managers were so kind as was the wait staff. The menu was typical diner food, but let me just say the cheeseburger deluxe was yummy. My daughter had chicken fingers and she said it was equally good. We also order buffalo wings as an appetizer. They were pretty good. I prefer non breaded wings but these were actually good. I will definitely be back to try other things off the menu. It's nice to have to have finally found a local diner I can patronize
10. Szechuan Delight Chinese Restaurant.
598 Central Ave New Providence, NJ 07974
Phone number: (908) 464-0100
What they are saying: My family and I have been coming here for many years. Always a welcoming environment. Great menu. We are never disappointed dining here or getting take out from this restaurant. I think the koi fish in their tank are at least as old as my teenagers.
