How does a spectacular restaurant in a gorgeous mansion sound? Fantastic, of course, but not nearly as fantastic as four separate dining experiences in one stunning space. Jockey Hollow is a unique concept eatery that you won’t want to miss.
Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen is located in the historic Vail Mansion.
Facebook/Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen The Italianate-style mansion was built in the early 1900s by Theodore Vail, a former AT&T president. You’ll find 15,000 square feet of pure elegance, mixing old-school charm with modern accents. Architectural elements include massive marble columns and a long reflecting pool.
Though new to the New Jersey restaurant scene, the owner is experienced.
Yelp/Ugar I. Chris Cannon has been a partner in several Manhattan restaurants, including the two-Michelin-starred Marea. He moved his talent to Morristown in 2014 after coming up with a creative new concept.
The eatery actually features four different dining experiences.
Yelp/Gia L. Ranging from casual to upscale, you’ll find The Vail Bar, The Dining Room, The Oyster & Wine Bar and The Rathskeller. The Vail Bar is a 1920s-style cocktail lounge with a sizable wine selection. The Dining Room offers regional, fresh, farm-to-table meals. The Oyster & Wine Bar offers more than just oysters and wine. Last, but not least, The Rathskeller is a German beer hall and private event space.
Each dining experience is so unique.
Facebook/Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen The hip Rathskeller offers live music on most weekends and The Oyster & Wine Bar provides patrons with a scrumptious, sophisticated brunch. The Dining Room focuses on prix fixe and chef’s choice multi-course menus.
With so many options, where do you start?
Yelp/Isa L. Reviewers rave about the arctic char, lobster croquettes, apple cranberry crumble with bacon maple brown sugar ice cream and CC burger.
Jockey Hollow has garnered significant praise since its opening.
Facebook/Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen Esquire named it one of the best new restaurants in America for 2015 and Wine Enthusiast labeled it one of America’s Top 100 Wine Restaurants.
