Restaurants near Tappan Lake Park

We had a leisurely and delicious holiday lunch with my uncle and aunt today. The setting is beautiful. The decor is stunning. The view never disappoints. The service is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The pace was just right. We ordered the scallops, short ribs, chicken piccata and Italian chicken napoleon. They were all delectable and the servings were generous. The wine recommendations were spot on. The desserts were brilliant. This is why Gervasi is a “must go to destination” often.

We had an amazing meal, Cody was a great server and really made the night memorable. She helped us with what to eat and everything we ordered was delicious. Steaks and fish all cooked perfectly. The history of the place was amazing, we can’t wait to come back!

We had the puff pastry meatloaf, the bacon brussel sprouts, and old fashioned cocktails. All was absolutely delicious! This is our third time here over a period of a few years and each time the food has been fantastic, the front desk, serving staff, and managers all outstanding. The Twisted Olive has been a great place to go in this area for a date night.

We all really liked what they've done to the space. Really nice improvement over when it was called Ihlenfeld. We had the holiday buffet and thought that the food overall was excellent - though the desserts were ok but not quite at the level of the rest of it. a fair variety of desserts but none of it was exceptional. but they also had a pasta bar where they made to order pasta which was phenomenal. And our server was great & friendly.. We will be back again next Christmas, God willing!

The reservation worked out perfect. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful especially our waitress Nickole G. The food was great and our overall experience was a lot more than we expected. Great job to all the staff.
