Splurge on These 3 Upscale Flemington Restaurants

1.  Matt’s Red Rooster Grill

You may not know what New American food is, but that won’t matter as soon as you take a bite of just about anything on the menu at Matt’s Red Rooster Grill in downtown Flemington. Using only the freshest, locally grown ingredients, chef and owner Matt McPherson crafts every menu item from scratch for a taste explosion you won’t get anywhere else. The food is so spectacular that Matt’s was recently ranked by Open Table as one of the best eateries in the greater New York City area.

What makes Matt’s Red Rooster Grill amazing is its mix of ambiance and culinary delights. Housed in an old Victorian home, the restaurant has a vibe unlike any other. The main floor offers a glimpse into the open kitchen, while both the upstairs and outdoor patio provide a break from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen.

Choose from top menu items including Griggstown marinated chicken, cedar plank-roasted salmon, or baby back ribs. Each is sure to make your taste buds come alive.

2. 55 Main

Situated at 55 Main St. in downtown Flemington, 55 Main has quickly become one of the most talked-about restaurants in Flemington. Contemporary dining mixes with casual decor in this setting, and although the menu screams upscale, you don’t have to put on a suit and tie to enjoy it.

Each menu item at 55 Main is the brainchild of chef and owner Jonas Gold, who uses his training and experience to create a menu that’s delectable from the appetizer to dessert. If you’re a bit indecisive, try this example meal — Thai chicken pot stickers for the app, grilled strip steak as the entree, and chocolate mousse with fruit as the dessert. With so many mouthwatering options, you could go to 55 Main a dozen times and still only scratch the surface.

3. Blue Fish Grill

For a creative, casual dining experience, head to Blue Fish Grill. For the past decade, this restaurant has offered patrons a fresh take on local favorites with fresh produce and meat from New Jersey farmers. Located at 50 Mine St., Blue Fish Grill allows you to craft an entree of your own or choose from one of their premade options. Try one of their favorites such as spicy tuna nachos, kung pao chicken, or the crab cake BLT for a culinary experience you won’t soon forget.

Whether you have a hankering for a thick juicy steak, want to experiment with fusion food, or try the next big thing, Flemington has a restaurant for you. Just make sure to bring your appetite and maybe even a pair of loose-fitting pants.
