Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in West Orange

One If By Land is one of the most beautiful restaurants in New York, with the most exceptional service and ambience. The ambience feels special (and cozy) with subtle lighting, fresh flowers everywhere, as well as twinkling white lights and candles, and views of the garden patio. One member of our party was delayed in their arrival, and the restaurant graciously waited before beginning service, and never pressured us about the unexpected delay. The timing of every aspect of the entire evening was impeccable, with servers patiently waiting an appropriate amount of time at every stage of ordering and serving. The food was delicious with every course was prepared beautifully. We had the Beef Wellington, Rib Eye, and Halibut. For dessert, we all enjoyed chocolate soufflés and the waiters brought an extra plate of bite sized treats for a birthday we were celebrating. It was an evening we will never forget and we will undoubtedly return to One If By Land for special occasions, if we are lucky enough to secure a reservation!

Excellent food and incredible service. Great drinks too !

This was a very delightful stop last night! The vibe was great and I loved the decor. The server was friendly and helpful. She recommended an upsell that was great with the tuna caviar tartare. Drinks were well made and tasty. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in the neighborhood for an appetizer and a drink.
