New Chef’s Tasting Menu at The Manor Restaurant

The Manor Restaurant

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 • 2:42pm

The Manor Restaurant has created a new limited-time four-course summer $59 prix fixe Chef’s Tasting Menu. The new menu option is available now through July 29th.

The Chef’s Tasting Menu is an exploration of American cuisine infused with French technique, utilizing the freshest of ingredients. Each course is paired with an optional wine selection, chosen by The Manor’s wine director to compliment the flavors of each dish. The Manor’s full dinner menu is also still available, featuring a well-balanced selection of classic favorites and new creations.

À la carte diners can enjoy the Chef’s Tasting Menu in The Manor’s Terrace Lounge, an inviting room featuring an oak bar, gorgeous floral arrangements, a masterful pianist, and generously-spaced tables, allowing for a more intimate dining experience.

Many of the seasonal fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey used to create The Manor’s dishes are sourced directly from its own farm, just minutes away and located on the grounds of the 40-acre Pleasantdale Chateau estate (www.pleasantdale.com) -- one of it’s sister properties, both of which are owned and operated by the Knowles family.

The Terrace Lounge is available for à la carte dining Wednesday through Friday beginning at 6:00 p.m. Dinner service begins on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. and on Sundays at 4:00 p.m.

To make a reservation for à la carte (or buffet dining), please call 973-731-2360 or visit www.TheManorRestaurant.com to link to Open Table online reservations.

About The Manor Restaurant

Since 1956 (and now in its 56^th year of operation), The Manor Restaurant has been a dining destination for generations of restaurant patrons. It’s long-standing dedication to providing a classic fine-dining experience, has earned it countless awards and recognitions, including a current and unmatched record of 24-consecutive AAA Four Diamond Awards; a feat not achieved by any other restaurant across the entire state of New Jersey, and surpassed by only two other restaurants in the entirety of the United States. Bordered by Eagle Rock Reservation to the east and situated on 20 acres of manicured gardens, The Manor’s sprawling architecture hosts classic banquet rooms, fine dining rooms and Italianate fountains. The Manor is a veritable village of craftsmen and artisans, including a coppersmith responsible for creating the copper pots used in the restaurant kitchen and a baker who produces, in the onsite bakery, everything from rolls and baguettes to wedding cakes, pastries and gingerbread houses for weddings and à la carte dinners.

The Manor Restaurant is located at 111 Prospect Avenue, West Orange, NJ 07052. For more information, call 973-731-2360 or visit www.TheManorRestaurant.com.
