A word from Ninety Acres

The Natirar Estate, a nearly 500-acre site atop the mountains of Peapack, is the home of Ninety Acres Culinary Center, which consists of a cooking and wine school, and a restaurant offering unique and exciting menus featuring produce and livestock fresh from the estate farm. The restaurant, along… with our private party facilities, redefines what a quality dining experience can and should be. We offer an a la carte menu in our dining rooms, a light bar menu in our bar and lounge areas, and the "Bring Me Food" experience, our interpretation of the tasting menu concept, exclusively in our kitchen dining area.

Diner Reviews

"This was the 2nd time I've eaten dinner on the weekend. Both times were great. I did notice that the first time, I ate in the bar, which was nice. I took a look at the rest of the restaurant, and the room I ate in on Sunday, 3/2, was so very noisy. On 3/2, we ate at 4pm and the noise level was quiet. I don't think I could eat in that big room during primetime hours."

"Had another wonderful meal for a family member's birthday at Ninety Acres, there were 6 of us in total, including my 12 year old daughter. She didn't like the sauce on the salmon from the menu, so they made a special salmon dish just for her the way she likes it and I love that special service they provide. The ricotta cavetelli app was delightful, creamy yet not at all heavy and the special pizza of the day with pancetta was light and delish. A few of us had the scallops for the main course and they surprised us with a couple delicious short ribs on the plate. Our waiter was phenomenal, very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me pick a perfect white wine to complement my scallops. Going back at the end of the month! Cant wait"

"The main dining room was warm and cozy...the fireplace and the warm colors created a romantic and soothing atmosphere (almost as if entirely lit by candlelight). The food was delicious, although some of the bar choices were a bit odd...i.e., no Tangueray. Extremely high noise level, but not enough of a deterrent to keep me away long!"

"Fourth time we had dinner here. It's a fantastic location for scenery and the atmosphere. The food however has always (in my 4 visits) been hit or miss. We gone with another couple every other time. Each time it's the same some rave about what they had and others feel it was just ok. Beet salad is excellent and consistent, along with the small pizzas. Every person that ordered the specific night": special "farmers plate" complained. I had the prime rib and it was very fatty (even for prime rib) and I barely ate any."

"Our dinner experience was great from appetizer to dessert. The staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Thank you for a lovely evening."

"This is truly a unique restaurant. Their farm to table... wait. It's not just that the food is amazing and service top notch. It's in the middle of a giant land preserve with nothing around it but rolling hills, trees, deer and a scenic drive in and out. A real experience. Get there. Enjoy it. Love it. There is an outdoor fire pit for the mild weather and yes, they grow a lot of the food right on the property. The venison was out of this world. There are many more amenities coming to this location as well. They have a club room etc. Check it out."

"We received a gift certificate for our anniversary and we couldn't be happier. Our waiter, John along with Carlos (I think that's his name) and Maria provided wonderful, knowledgeable service. The food was amazing! We had apps (beef tartar- octopus), main courses (fish and chips- black sea bass), cheese plate (moon, toma and camembert) and dessert (pretzel ice cream) and all were memorable - I've told my family and friends already. One of the most impressive things was the cheese pairings. Never in my life would I have expected olives and honey together or the guava with the Toma. Unbelievable flavors! The beer list was impressive as well. We will definitely be coming back - hopefully during the day as well for the scenery. Great job!"

"This setting is like no other in NJ. It's worth the drive from anywhere, the beauty, the design, the food, the wines, the service are all top notch. Can't wait til Spring to dine outside."

"Waiters were excellent and very accommodating but almost too much attention...just short of almost being annoying..that being said excellent food, ambiance and service."

"I decline to review this restaurant as this occasion was not up to par to our previous wonderful experiences. Usually I am raving about the place."

"We had a great relaxing Sunday evening dinner for 3 after a busy hectic weekend. The steak and salmon cooked to perfection. The cavatelli so tasty and the desserts were superb. Heading back again once the winter weather clears out."

"Excellent food...lovely atmosphere..tables for two a bit too close together..."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"Very disappionted! The food was overpriced for the quality, the mushrooms (which looked lovely) were oversalted and the Pretzel-ice cream sunday desert was so salty it was inedible. We had about 5 servers; I thought this was really effiicient until I got the bill and found that we were charged for 3 expensive drinks which we did NOT order...to the tune of $34. Sorry, but that alone is outrageous! Then, we had valet parking and had to wait outside in the cold...no heaters or shelter provided. Two minor details were the menu which seemed conflicted between a pizza parlour and a high-end restaurant. The dress code, in particular for men, should have been "Jackets for Men"...it was "whatever"."

"This was not our first xperience at Ninety Acres and was satisfying and enjoyable as the past visits. The presentation and food was excellent and was complimented by the staffs attent iveness and knowledge."

"For the first time left feeling let down. Surprised that the rest. was not full on a Sat. night. To sum up; the butter appeared to have been out for some time as it was very yellow and soft. Risotto under salted, olive oil mashed over salted. Prime rib which is usually perfect not so great and LOTS of fat. Coffee (not ordered) was brought to our table not once but twice ( I think that they need to focus on food runners/servers who have a better control of the English language as this is hurting the service level). Didn't like the salty sundae either. It was as if we were in a new restaurant that hasn't hit it's stride yet. Hopefully this was just a bad night for them. At the price point all aspects of this "experience" should be flawless."

"Had been to Ninety Acres for their Bring Me Some Food degustation service. That was a memorable event for the foodie parts of us. Most recently with my wife for our anniversary. Service at times somewhat slow, but overall a memorable night. Do utilize the wine stewards. Worthy of a tip and adds lots to the experience."
Dined on 2/7/2014
"An all around amazing dining experience. Impeccable service, food and wine list. Only comment would be for every restaurant to do away with the 'awkward middle table for two' within the banquet set-ups, as it does take some of the privacy and romantic nature of any restaurant."
Dined on 2/12/2014
"Ninety Acres is beyond compare -- what a special place! We went in a snowstorm on a Sunday night so we figured it would be empty... but the place was packed! The wine list was incredible. The prix fixe menu was fairly specific, so we went with the a la carte menu and were very pleased. Excellent salmon and strip steak. Apple pie and cookies for dessert we just perfect. We loved ever morsel and every moment!"
Dined on 2/9/2014
"We had a great meal all 4 of us. Ordered off the ala carte menu. Service was impeccable and we were treated like royalty. We would definitely go back even to sit at the bar. We went in winter and want to return in summer to sit outside."

"Great food and wine paring... Tons of great food and lovely service. Definitely worth the money."

"Ninety Acres has a pleasant country charm in the secluded Somerset Hills. The goal of Ninety Acres is to provide fresh ingredients, and we found freshness in almost every bite. Our party of seven had a fun time celebrating a birthday and enjoyed several dishes in particular: Roasted Griggstown Quail which had a delicious bean cassoulet and frisee, Imperial Wagyu Top Sirloin with sumptuous maitake mushrooms and Barnegat Lighthouse Scallops with tender scallops albeit with overly dry shortrib cubes. The wine and spirits list offered much organic vs. sustainable variety, and the wait staff was very attentive."
Dined on 2/2/2014
"The level of service was a bomb. There were so many instances that caused us to have more questions than we had before we asked the waiter. Even with assistants, it felt like we were being waited on by trainees. Left unsatisfied."
Dined on 2/1/2014
"Wonderful food and service. My reservations were for for the first seating. Unfortunately, it was very cold outside and the interior temperature was not very enjoyable. It would have been nice had the management turned the heat on a little earlier, before the dinner service. I mentioned the lack of heat to one of the "suits", who promptly turned the heat up. This was very much appreciated."

"Had a wonderful meal the other night for my best friend's birthday. All I can say is: it's an experience. The drive through the long windy road was a little scary on a dark winter night, then you finally arrive at this beautiful locale, warmly lit, valet parks your car. It reminded me of a children's story: Brave Irene. Anyway, we had a delicious meal and nice glass of wine. Loved the cushions on the banquette; very comfortable, and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We had lots of questions about the menu, since there are items that even the best-read foodie wouldn't recognize. They have their own chickens, pigs and sheep, and I think grow their herbs and vegetables. Very pricy, fancy-pants dining for special times."

"Our third visit to Ninety Acres was a bit disappointing. The food and ambiance continue to be superb but the service was not up to expectations for this establishment. They were busy but we had to constantly ask for our waiter as we felt somewhat ignored during courses. I had the grilled meatloaf which was fine although a bit dry. We will return given previous experiences."
Dined on 1/29/2014
"We really enjoyed our experience. The restaurant is physically beautiful...open and modern but warm. The cocktails we had were great (pear sidecar and fiesta picante). The meal was fantastic. Everything was just cooked perfectly and had a ton of flavor. My wife had the octopus appetizer and the venison, and I had the mussel risotto and the sirloin. Every bite was fantastic! The service was outstanding as well. I felt like the staff took service as a team effort. if someone saw something that needed to be done, they did it, regardless of who was responsible for what table. Just felt like everyone there was looking to make our night special. Truly great experience."

"We had dinner for our 44th Anniversary and it was great the food and the service was also. It was expensive but worth every penny especially for our special occasion. Kudos to all your staff!"

"I thought the food was very good and the service outstanding. We had a reservation for 5:30 but our friends got detained and didn't get there till 6:30. Nobody said a thing and we were not rushed although they must have wanted the table. Only complaint is the restaurant is so popular you can't get a 7 pm reservation, or even 6 on most days. Also the noise level is high.The dish selection is very creative and yummy."

"My husband and I recently celebrated our birthdays at 90 Acres. The most memorable part of the evening was the excellent service. Our table was introduced to and served by 3 Servers. Our water glasses were always filled, wine was always poured, dishes were served and removed at the same time, etc. Excellent! We were also served complimentary cookies and chocolates for celebrate our birthdays."

"The food wAs exceptional, the wine list extensive and dessert quite delicious. The beet salad with goat cheese was phenomenal. Expensive, but worth it for special occasions. Very noisy although the dining too was only 80% full"

"We came here on our anniversary and for my husband's 50th birthday. The food was excellent again. For appetizer we had the foie gras and octopus and for dinner we had the venison and scallop with short ribs. We were very happy with all the dish."
Dined on 1/17/2014
"We expected higher quality food. Unfortunately, each item on the menu seemed to have something missing to make it "right". None of the food had particularly memorable flavor. The service was strange. Not one member of the team seemed to have personality, unless they were told not to. You could not ask them questions, as they would give generic, pre-rehearsed answers. There was no rapport. They didn't do anything wrong; they just didn't look like they wanted to enjoy themselves. In fact, none of the staff looked happy. The ambiance was beautiful, even in this cold of winter. It would impress many a visitor. Given all of this restaurants limitations and the $200 check for a three-course meal, just go to NYC. It'll be better."

""Bring me food" was a great experience. 5 diverse, delicious dishes. Presentation by chef explained ingredients, preparation and was fun, My wife's birthday was a memorable experience We will return for our anniversary."

"My wife and I came to Ninety Acres for our anniversary dinner and we weren't disappointed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They new the menu well and were able to assist us in choosing dishes we would enjoy. We thought the idea of giving tickets for leftovers, instead of having leftover boxes sitting on or next to the table, was a great idea. The only thing that caught us by surprise, was the noise level. There is a TV over the bar and my wife believed that set the tone that being quiet wasn't required. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return!"
