Best Cocktail Bars in Washington Township

We couldn’t wait to try Bar Ellis for my birthday celebration. We went a little early for drinks at the bar. Skyler was an amazing bartender, excellent drinks and great conversation! Once our table was ready upstairs on the back patio, we saw the charm and uniqueness of the restaurant. Alex was our server and took great attention with us. We chose the potato pancake tots because they weren’t something we’ve seen on other menus. They were delicious! We chose to split the sea scallops and crab cakes, which were equally yummy. However, the portion (3 of each) may not be the best for splitting. We each could’ve eaten our own. We chose to end the night with the wedding cake of my choosing, then my husband quickly added in the carrot cake. Both were great. We shared a bottle of R Collection by Raymond. It wasn’t a great wine and there aren’t very many really good wines on the wine list, which is our only critique. A few Italian reds, or better Cabernets, would be greatly appreciated! This may become our new favorite restaurant in town!

The team at Gather 22 are constantly updating their creative food / beverage offerings. It was my friend's birthday and we were able to squeeze in a special lunch. We started with the miso eggs. OMG, they were beautifully done with perfectly jammy centers (they would be a winner on any food network gourmet show). Crispy lovely thin crust pizza and a great half-price bottle of pinot grigio. Even a scoop of homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream for the birthday boy!! All in all, a perfect midday repast (and our waiter, Cole, hit the perfect balance of enjoyable / knowledgeable service). Keep it goin', Gather 22 !!

Impromptu date night here last night. The food never misses - always great, especially the cream corn. The steak night special was reasonably priced and delicious. The best part of the night was our server, Anna! She was punctual, gave great recommendations, and made our experience that much better! Looking forward to more impromptu date nights here!!

My wife and I decided to finally visit this restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not only were they able to describe the dishes, but they gave me personal opinions when asked about the dishes. When servers either have no opinion or just say, "everything is great," I wonder a bit. We made our selections, and I was pleasantly pleased with my choice. Unlike most chain restaurants, the marsala sauce wasn't an oversweet, syrupy mess. We look forward to returning so we can further explore the menu.

We had a great time at Pivot in the igloo. The drinks were amazing and the food was tasty. And our server was so awesome-gave us recommendations that were spot on!
