With a fresh look came a fresh menu—well, two menus to be exact.

The Bistro’s main menu boasts a variety of mouthwatering, chef-inspired offerings that are packed with flavor and plated with purpose. From homemade soups and delectable appetizers to specialty burgers and sandwiches, personal pizzas and even made-to-order poke bowls, the Bistro’s all-day menu truly has something for everyone.

And for the mimosa-faithful, there’s plenty of reasons to raise a glass to come the weekend. Every Saturday and Sunday from 10-3 the cracking of eggs, the sizzle of frying pans and the sweet scent of croissants, pancakes and Belgian waffles heralds brunch at The Bistro. Whether a girls’ day out or breakfast with the family, the brunch menu delivers with quality ingredients and a winning combination of savory classics and healthy alternatives.

2. Place

In preparation of The Bistro’s launch in 2024 interior designers had a puzzle to solve: how to seamlessly blend finesse and comfort to craft an inviting, yet stylish, space to accommodate a variety of diners. The solution? Multiplying their efforts—and ultimately, their vision.

With three distinctive dining areas—the fashionable and refined Gramercy, the bright and relaxed Garden, and the modern and cozy Chelsea—The Bistro offers dynamic ambiance to match its vibrant, crave-worthy menu.

Whether dining out on a whim or planning an exclusive event, The Bistro prides itself on providing top-shelf ambiance for a budget-friendly price and the ideal space(s) for an unforgettable dining experience.

3. Play

Found within New Jersey’s premier entertainment destination, iPlay America, The Bistro’s choice in location was intentional. With rides, games and excitement around every corner, fun is a cornerstone of The Bistro’s identity.

With live music and events, themed pop-up bars to match the season, and specialty menus and cocktail creations throughout the year, mealtime and playtime are practically synonymous.

 

And while there’s always something exciting happening at The Bistro, it’s also a place where families can recharge and refuel before or after a day of play.
