Rosie's got a list here...

Scroll down a little bit and you'll see the listings; most are for the Eve, so you should have plenty of choices. Enjoy!

If they are booked, Bernards Inn is a romantic-type spot.

I'd go to David Drake, simply because it's at the top of my list of places in NNJ that I want to try!

I was invited to go out for Xmas eve, my first restaurant visit in ages! BUT, where are my hosts going? Nonna's in Marlboro. I ate there once 3 years ago. Well, I ordered a meal there. My daughter and I ended up packing everything up and giving it to a neighbor, we couldn't even stand to eat the salad. Still, it's the company that counts, right? :wink:

couldnt get in to david drakes but its local so ill try another day

ended up at frog and the peach.

gourgeous place, never would have believed it was there if not for the navigation.

i had fresh mozzarella gnochi in truffle sauce-very good but the sauce didnt coat the gnochi at all and the taste was wasted

my wife had a salad-nothing special

i had pork chops for the entree and she had a fish dish...

i cant think right now b/c im so hungry but it was pretty good. not great, but better than good. i will def. go back as i think the less than perfect meal was due to the holiday and a late seating.
