Dining with 40NORTH
Each of 40NORTH’s locations offers something totally unique for guests to enjoy. Their atmospheres and menus stand apart, with quality food coming first and foremost no matter which spot you visit.
“We have 11 locations which include The Office Tavern Grill, Piattino: A Neighborhood Bistro, The Black Horse Tavern, George and Martha’s American Grille and Café Villa. So all of them kind of have different personalities, totally different menus. Every menu we try to keep modern with creative ideas,” shared Thomas.
Whether you’re hosting a formal event or something as casual as a birthday party, 40NORTH has you covered.
“At The Office, you can get something like chicken and waffles for one of your entrée choices, while you can also get an Atlantic salmon dish. We try to keep it fun, but then also give you some options that are more comfortable for the guests who like to have their normal dishes,” added Thomas.
Booking Your Party with 40NORTH
40NORTH prides itself on making the private party planning process as streamlined as possible. That’s where Thomas comes in.
Rather than speaking to a different representative at each location, Thomas acts as the only point of contact. This one-on-one relationship allows 40NORTH to assist in the planning process. Thomas takes care of all your party needs. This begins with choosing the best restaurant to host your event.
“I think one of the best parts about hosting an event with us is that we can really work with what kind of layout [you’re] looking to have and what kind of price point. So if somebody comes to me and wants to do an event at Piattino in Summit, but their group is a little too large for the space, I don’t have to say, ‘No, unfortunately we can’t accommodate you.’ We have 10 other locations that may fit their needs,” explained Thomas.
Why Choose 40NORTH?
With the amount of restaurants and venues in New Jersey, it’s this factor that really sets 40NORTH’s locations apart. Thomas takes the work out of shopping around for the perfect spot to host your party. This can be priceless if you’re not quite sure what you’re going for with your event.
As Felice explains, “If you want to spend $20 per person or $200 per person, we have a venue that you feel comfortable doing that in. You can call one person and have that taken care of. Rather than having to dance around to a bunch of different venues.”
