Best Live Music Restaurants in Maplewood, New Jersey

I'm a longtime diner at MacLoone's and last night's dinner lived up to my remembered expectations. I had made a reservation for the dining room, but happily, a porch table was available as we wanted to sit outside overlooking the lake. My partner and I were seated and our server, Eric, promptly brought us ice water and took drink orders. The couple we were meeting had requested a return visit to this restaurant where we had previously dined together indoors. They were delayed driving out of Manhattan facing unexpected traffic even on a non-World Cup night and a Monday. They were an hour late and our server could not have been more gracious, keeping the water glasses full, answering questions about the menu. The porch was not full, so there was no issue about turning the table over, and I've never had such an issue there. The four of us shared cauliflower and mussels appetizers, the latter surrounded by a tangy, yellow curry; both were excellent. We experienced the range of this kitchen: we ordered salmon, a pork chop special, seafood fra daviola, and crab cakes, all well prepared and delicious. We all shared an excellent, moist, not too sweet carrot cake for dessert. I look forward to another meal at MacLoone's!
