“ We chose to have a small wedding at Tree Tavern! We planned for months as we loved the set up of the outside. We came and tried food and drinks, and every person we encountered were extremely nice and helpful. They helped us every step of the way. The options we had for the food was amazing. We got to customize it to how we wanted and then pick a very nice drink package. The pricing was outstanding. They helped with the set up and take down of the wedding and honestly helped us with every little detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day or a better venue for our special day. If we could do it over again we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you to Mike, the wonderful owner. Joyce who helped us plan everything and Vicky who helped us pick out all our drinks. Tree Tavern is a place we will come to again and again. The atmosphere is beautiful and the people are great. They helped make our wedding day magical. This place is definitely deserves more than 5 stars! ”

“ My great grandfather took my grandma and grandpa to the one in Paterson in the 50s. This is the only known location I found when I travelled through town on my genealogy road trip. Let me tell you, the pizza was phenomenal! I don’t know what kind of crack you put in the sauce but it was delicious! We didn’t eat on site but it was an elegant establishment but the outside doesn’t do justice to the inside. Very posh looking! It was jam packed around dinner time- I can taste why!!! ”
“ Wonderful place well hidden and always enjoyed!!!! Staff makes you feel welcome, like family and itching to return! ”
“ Charming Restaurant with Amazing Food – Worth the Wait! This cute little tucked-away restaurant offers amazing food and a cozy atmosphere. It seems like springtime would be the best season to visit, as there are more seating options. In the winter, space is very limited, and it does feel quite crammed, but they make up for it with beautiful decorations, warm lighting, and a welcoming ambiance.for this reason we will Visit all seasons. One unique feature of this restaurant is the owner’s love for wine. Inside, there’s a charming country-style store with a wine cellar showcasing some of his best selections, which guests can enjoy while dining—a really nice touch! The only downside was the service. The food took a long time to come out, and we’re fairly certain our order was forgotten. After waiting an hour, we asked about our meals, and the waitress looked surprised—as if she had just realized the mistake. However, once we brought it to her attention, our dishes arrived steaming hot within 10 minutes. Despite the wait, the food was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and served in generous portions. The bread basket was also fantastic! Overall, while service was a bit slow, the food and atmosphere made up for it. We’ll definitely be returning! ”
“ The place was awesome. The food was great the outside seating area is unbelievable. Also the inside restaurant is beautiful. ”
“ Wow, our first time there. The food was absolutely delicious from appetizers through desserts. We ordered a small pizza for an appetizer, then we split eggplant rollatini with meatballs on the side and then our favorite tartufo for dessert. The presentation of tartufo was the best I've ever seen. We will definitely go back, very cozy refined atmosphere, 10 stars. ”
