While the bars will surely be hopping this year after last year’s quarantines, our local fine dining restaurants might be a little bit more quiet. Try one of this classy venue for a spectacular setting to ring in the new year.

Nicholas Barrell and Roost – Located just 15 minutes north of your Tinton Falls apartment is one of new Jersey's most raved about restaurateurs. Since the opening of their first acclaimed restaurant in 2000, Chef Nicholas Harary has modernized the concept of fine dining. This first mainstay of Red Bank garnered some of the industry's highest praise, including being named as Zagat's highest-rated restaurant in New Jersey for 15 straight years, a 4-star review in the New York Times, and a position on several national "best restaurant" lists.

Now, with Barrel & Roost, Chef Nicholas strips off the white tablecloths and serves up a bold new menu: made-from-scratch food that's crazy-delicious, yet entirely accessible any night of the week – especially on New Year's Eve! Set in a newly redesigned modern farmhouse interior, Barrel & Roost is just the cozy place to enjoy great food with family or old friends, or to a grab a drink to ring in the new year.
