3 West

Dinner was delightful. I ordered the crispy veal Milanese and it was great. We enjoyed the sangria with our meal. This was my first time at this location and I would definitely go back. Service was good and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend the 3 West salad.

We had my friend’s bridal shower here. I can’t say enough about the staff. They literally worked around us, and were so accommodating. The food was excellent and everyone loved the shower. I would highly recommend this for a special party.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. I had a great meal and the service was good. They have a nice wine selection that’s reasonably priced. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

Great service with a cozy atmosphere — they have a fire place! Nice wine selection too!
Squash egg flatbread — pretty good. Lots of flavor.
Margarita flatbread — ok, felt like something was missing…
Appetizer trio — wasn’t a big fan of any of them
Beet salad — good
Cinnamon donuts — good for sharing and the chocolate dipping sauce was great

This place is awesome! The service is great. Very professional and very attentive. They truly work as a team to ensure your meal is as enjoyable as possible. The food is outstanding. The combination of flavors is remarkable. You will not be disappointed no matter what entrée you chose. The ambiance is great. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Already can’t wait to go back!

I have dined at 3west many times and have always had a great experience. The bar area is great… excellent bartenders who know how to make a drink. The service here is exceptional… typically two servers will work your table. The meals have always been very good… fish entrees are great, apps are very good and the salads are always a hit. The décor/​atmosphere has a real nice feel. high ceiling, fireplace, well decorated.

Wow, beautiful ambiance, terrific wait staff ! I had the salmon it was prepared deliciously and to my taste, no butter substituted spinach for potatoes. Dying to go back! Great selection of vodkas too.

SO good. I’ve been going to Huntley for years but just recently made my way over to 3 West. Both times I’ve been the service has been amazing, the food delicious and LITERALLY the BEST dirty martini I’ve had ANYWHERE.

Haven’t been here for couple of years; returned one day and enjoyed the pork chop. We decided to come back yesterday to celebrate our 5 year dating anniversary. All the food from bread, appetizer, entrée to dessert were great, service was wonderful and the staff kept on congratulating us. Today I even got a follow phone call. Never expected this phone call but thank you! Would definitely come back again and again!

Meh. I was with a few friends for dinner, one of them suggested 3 West as it is his go to restaurant. Service was decent, atmosphere was ok. I really liked the fireplace in the middle of the establishment. The food not so much. I had the French onion soup to start, presentation was nice, taste was non existent. something was missing no Carmel undertones no distinct flavors, not enjoyable. I ended up not continuing eating the soup after a few spoonfuls. I then had the tuna for the main dish, again no flavor, no texture. Had one piece, brought the rest home for the dog, she enjoyed it I think. So I guess this place is good to sit at the bar and have a few drinks, but I won’t be coming back for the food. Oh another thing that skeeved me out was the filth on the men’s bathroom door, the only clean part is where everyone puts thier hand to push it open. Anyways, ambiance good, bar good, drinks good, food meh, cleanliness dunno.

Well, 3 West completes my tour of all the Harvest Group restaurants. The Huntley Taverne. Roots. Urban Table. Tabor Road Taverne. Grato. Trap Rock Brewery. I’ve now hit all of them. 3 West refers to itself as «the mini Huntley,» and I can definitely see the comparison, both in terms of the menu and the décor. Still, Huntley remains my favorite.
In general, I’m skeptical of restaurants in strip malls, but I overlooked that knowing what we were in store for. With the exception of Urban Table, I’ve always had a positive experience at each of the other Harvest restaurants.
The menu is near identical to what I would expect at Huntley. I did notice the date was not listed on the menu, unlike at Huntley, so I’m not sure whether 3 West changes its menu up daily like Huntley supposedly does. Either way, the theme is very similar.
We started with the appetizer trio (boneless baby back ribs, crab cakes, shrimp spring rolls for $ 19.95). Each of the apps was delicious, but the ribs were a little cold. I appreciate their effort to remove the bones from the ribs, but I kind of would have preferred they left them attached. Why would you want to deal with the hassle, you ask? Well, if the ribs were cooked properly, which they were, there would be no hassle since the meat would fall right off the bone. Plus, everything tastes better on the bone!
For entrees, we got the «mid-​course» portion of pappardelle with roast cauliflower, short rib, sage pesto, ricotta cheese, kale, garlic and EVOO ($ 11.95). Very good, very filling and more than enough if you’ve already had an appetizer and have dessert in your dinner forecast. We also got the Cioppino (monkfish, shrimp, mussels, scallops, assorted vegetables, tomato & fennel broth, grilled filone) ($ 26.95). Their take on a bouillabaisse, I suppose. It was good, but the seafood probably needed more time to absorb the flavors of the broth). We also got a side of the housemade truffle fries ($ 7.95), which is a must as far as I’m concerned.
The complimentary bread was delicious, and the service was excellent, as it usually is at Harvest restaurants, but the «team» service concept remains somewhat annoying to me, mainly because if your two servers don’t communicate, you may get asked the same question twice as we did, such as «can I get you something to drink?» Turns out the cocktails were already on their way when server ½ (or ²⁄₂) asked what we wanted. In the end, though, I can appreciate why management employs this concept. They take customer service pretty seriously and it shows.
If I’m in the area, I’ll go back, but Huntley is closer to me and still has a leg up over «mini» Huntley.

3 cocktails
Shared salad
Side of brussels sprouts
Soda/​water
Scallop entrée/​Filet Mignon
One Crème Brulee to share, one espresso
w/​tip the dinner bill came out to $ 170
I’m just putting this out there as NJ restaurants that are pretty good will get dinged at certain price points. I feel this is one of those situations. The décor has a high end chain restaurant feel to it like Capital Grille.
Bread service was very good and all of the food was executed well, seasoned well. Wait staff folks were cool. I have to admit, the crowd was very geriatric-​ish and there was a sense that there should have been a blue plate special on the menu, lol. The younger hipper crowd was next door at Urban table and if it’s a date night you might just want to go next store instead of hanging out with the 50+ crowd at 3 West.
Generally speaking the food really reminded me of the Savoy on Prince St. in Manhattan. And the cocktails are reminiscent of Commerce or Dead Rabbit in NYC. Maybe a slight notch below but generally very good. That is to say I can come back home from work in NYC and not have to go back to NYC with my wife to grab a meal that isn’t going to offend me as so many NJ restaurants do.
All in all nothing offended and was entirely pleasing, for NJ that’s a win in my book. Going to give this place another go soon.

Food was average somewhat over priced. The service was lacking, our waiter wasn’t familiar with the menu. I’d give it another shot but definitely underwhelming considering its trying to be an upscale restaurant. There are better options around.

Had a very good experience at this spot. Was looking for s «Ruth Chris» type place but came across this place due to the proximity to our hotel. The waitress was super attentive. The food was excellent. Perfect portions. Would definitely come back again.

3 West is owned by the same company that owns the Harvest restaurant next door.
Its an upscale place, so you’ll feel more comfortable dressing up instead of shorts and T shirts.
Its very clean and well decorated, including the bathrooms.
Parking can be a challenge, but there is more parking around back if you don’t find a spot in the strip mall.
At times it can be very crowded, as they also host business events. During these times you will have to wait for a seat at the bar or for a table.
They have a fairly extensive wine list, prices slightly on the high side.
The food has always been pretty good. Not outstanding, but still, pretty good.
Service can be hit or miss — some days is fantastic, other days not so much.
There are a handful of tables where you can eat outside in nicer weather.
There aren’t many upscale places in the area, so this one tends to be one of my favorites.

Walked into a funky restaurant with personable employees and we got excited. My tuna tartare appetizer didn’t disappoint. Funky Cosmo was very tasty. Chicken chilie enter was pleasantly mild.

The lobster Rosetto was excellent !
Great Wine list
The wine by the glass list is more extensive then most …

Very infrequent is it that I have an experience at a restaurant that is a legit 5-​star. Tonight, my wife and I had that. The butternut squash soup and Mediterranean salad apps, short rib and fettuccini entrees, kale and brisket sides were all really good. The service was really attentive and the manager even stopped by the table. We capped off the night with donuts for dessert. We ordered up quite a bit and asked lots of questions. We found tonight’s performance by all staff to be a exceptional.
All in all, I highly recommend this location. I for certain will be back. Thank you 3 West! Happy holidays.

Ask for bread. Offers full bar with three Trap Rock drafts and an extensive wine list. Nice American food, nothing spicy nor particularly unusual. Vegetarians startlingly well served. Bring money, and dress up a little if you want a good table. But good luck figuring out who is your waiter!
Three of us tried 3 West for a pre-​holiday lunch on a busy weekday. We weren’t wearing ties, we weren’t wearing jackets, we got the table hard by the kitchen. Ah well.
Three taps, all Trap Rock: Ghost Pony helles (light) lager, an amber ale and a Kentucky bourbon-​barrel-​aged ale. That last ale was excellent, a hint of bourbon sweetness, $ 7.95 a glass at lunch. Big bar too, full service.
Bread plates reposed on the table but no bread arrived and (craning our heads around rudely :) we saw none gracing any of those nice plates on the tables around us. Hmm, maybe dinner only? Well we were too shy to ask, found out much later that bread is only served on request. WTF, don’t make the same mistake we did, speak up!
Harvest Group has this inexplicable policy of multiple servers. In other words, they don’t make one key person your primary contact, instead you deal with 3 or 4 different servers. Never know whom to flag down for a refill, for bread, for dessert, for the check, for whatever.
Food was nice, not memorable. I ordered crimini mushroom flatbread with goat cheese, received meatball flatbread with mozzarella, whoops! good thing I’m not strictly veg lol, clearly I got somebody else’s pie but the place was too busy to send it back. $ 13 for this personal pizza, properly thin crispy crust. My dining companion tried the fish burrito, suspiciously silent about the fish species, turned out to be halibut, cod and shrimp but no beans, no rice, no salsa, nothing — really should be a fish wrap, overpriced at $ 16 because no sides either. Third unindicted co-​conspirator ordered the curry chicken salad wrap, this came with house-​made potato chips plus a small pile of greens, $ 13.
For dessert we tried the hot cinnamon doughnuts, really doughnut holes (lumps) arrived with 3 dipping sauces: an average caramel, a good dark chocolate, and a fantastic raspberry (6 for $ 8).
Vegetarian rating: 4 stars for the many choices in all categories: appetizers included hummus; salads were nearly all veg; sandwiches included an avocado + tapenade on whole wheat; entrée («seconds») was a butternut squash risotto. So you won’t be limited to ordering three apps.
Service was distracted by a lot of very well dressed people ordering wine, every table full, still our food managed to come out pretty quickly.
Wow parking at Riverwalk can be bad, drive around back and try your luck underneath.

I’m about 75 reviews behind at the moment, but I just couldn’t wait to pen this one after our meal tonight.
My hubby and I have now been to five of the seven Harvest Restaurants in NJ (including Huntley Taverne, Tabor Road Tavern, Trap Rock, and Urban Table) since last summer when we first went to Huntley Taverne for my birthday (where we returned again for my birthday this year). But I think 3 West may be my favorite yet. If not, it’s a VERY close second.
While it’s not in as nice of a location (it’s part of a classier looking strip mall, as opposed to a standalone building), the interior has just as much decadence. Beautiful wooden décor, a fireplace, large, comfortable seats, and a semi-​open kitchen. It’s much quieter and more upscale than the Urban Table in Morristown, as well as the one next door and which we accidentally walked into without realizing it at first. The bathrooms have fresh flowers and individual terry cloth hand towels – always a nice touch.
Looking over the menu before deciding on a glass of wine, I quickly noticed two items that sparked my curiosity: the spicy yellowtail Napoleons, and the wing of skate (a type of ray from the Maryland region). Since I’d never had skate before, I asked our waiter, Derek, which wine would pair best. He recommended red and asked if I had a favorite (Pinot noir and Malbec). He suggested their new Pinot Noir and ended up bringing another selection, which I ended up preferring. There was no mention of beer on the drink menu, but since we’d been to Trap Rock and knew they brew their own beer, I decided to ask. To our surprise, they had two Trap Rock beers available, as well as a Dogfish IPA. Without even asking, our other waiter, Rodrigo, brought over a sampling of all three for my husband. (Ahh, the things 5-​star reviews are made of!)
The breads served ahead of our appetizers were delicious, one sourdough and one with fennel and raisins. And the yellowtail napoleons (a new addition to the menu, courtesy of their new executive chef) were sushi-​inspired perfection! Crispy wonton pieces on top and bottom with spicy tuna and seaweed salad in the middle. Just amazing.
I almost always order the pork chops at all of these restaurants because they ALWAYS knock it out of the park and way into flavortown, but this time I decided to let the hubz get the chop and I got the skate. Definitely a great choice since I still got to try my hubby’s pork chop, which to no surprise was in-​freaking-​credible; so juicy, perfectly seasoned, and with a little crunchy crust on top… I can’t even! The skate, I have to admit, was very fishy, but I love fish so I was totally digging it. It came with a buttery purée and some greens which diversified the flavors on the plate and kept it from tasting too salty. The cartilage was the weirdest part of the experience because it fanned out from the base of the wing just like a feather. But it was not difficult to eat by any means.
We peeked at the menu before coming, and knew they had a dessert we hadn’t seen anywhere before. As the waiter put it, it was «the Mercedes of the dessert menu.» Freshly made cinnamon doughnuts with three dipping sauces. The item takes about 7 – 8 minutes to make, since they do make them to order, but in my opinion, seven minutes of my time is a small sacrifice for these beauties. The little doughnut holes are served hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, tossed in sugary cinnamon, then served with three dipping sauces: raspberry, chocolate, and caramel. All three were perfect compliments to the savory sweetness of the doughnuts.
You get what you pay for here: the experience is phenomenal, the menu is unique and expertly prepared, the waitstaff is professional and knowledgable, and the décor is classy yet comfortable. Expect to pay $ 100 or more, plus tip, for two people.
