Best Live Music Restaurants in Mountain Lakes

The entertainment was very loud, where you could hear conversations or them calling your name while you were waiting. I asked for bread and the dip that they give was a bowl of oil.

We went for Valentine’s Day dinner and had delicious food and great service. The music was a bit too loud for a date night atmosphere. Nevertheless, we would absolutely come back for another great meal!

The ambiance was perfect -low lighting, balloons on the table, piano player in the background. We liked the price fix menu options. Only the scallops were disappointing-chewy and not sweet. The crab cake, beet salad, sea bass and desserts were all delicious . Lana, our server, was gracious and attentive. My old fashioned tastes great but I prefer the kind with one big ice cube.

I had heard about Rails from numerous people who have always raved about it. So, I was very excited in anticipation. The restaurant is beautiful right alongside the Towaco Railroad Station. Plenty of help valet parking but a bit of a walk to get inside. The ambiance is nice with an extensive top notch wine list. But our waitress was not as knowledgeable about the menus that might have been a good opportunity for an upsell for our order. And it was kind of hard to get over that my guest’s lobster tail arrived raw. In sending it back when I asked the waitress about it she said oh! I didn’t talk to them, they’re very busy with it being the holiday. . . Not a very good first impression. Not even an apology. I would go back though. And I understand you can take a tour and go through the secret door to the bar in the cellar. The menu is a la carte which make it seem expensive, but the prices are actually quite reasonable.

Food is always good, as is the service. The live music only adds to the experience.
