When you think about dining in state parks, you probably picture picnicking. While this is a wonderful way to go, one New Jersey state park kicks it up a notch. In fact, Liberty State Park kicks it up a few notches, offering gourmet dining. Maritime Parc is magnificent, and most definitely a must-visit. However, with Valentine’s Day on the way, we’re focusing on Liberty State Park’s other five-star dining experience…

Liberty House Restaurant!

Facebook/Liberty House Restaurant This waterfront restaurant and event space is absolutely divine. Diners will enjoy spectacular views of the New York Skyline and the reflection of its glistening lights dancing on the Hudson River.

The menu includes fresh, flavorful food and changes each season.

Facebook/Liberty House You’ll always find steak, seafood, and sushi, but the selection varies to ensure the freshest, most sustainable meal possible. Current offerings include an organic field greens salad, butternut squash & goat cheese tortellini, pan seared Alaskan salmon, and saffron braised mussels.

The drinks and desserts are delectable!

Facebook/Liberty House Restaurant For dessert, try the maple walnut cheesecake, flourless semi-sweet chocolate cake, homemade pomegranate sorbet, or tres leches. When it comes to drinks, go for the deco chocolate dessert wine or creative cocktails like The Noddy Pumpkin or Demeter’s Curse.

We also love the brunch!

Facebook/Liberty House Restaurant Held each Sunday from 11-3, try the waffle battered mixed berries, vanilla maple brioche French toast, or grilled cheese with candied bacon and eggs. Everything is incredible.

So, why did we spotlight this place so close to Valentine’s Day?

Facebook/Liberty House Restaurants They’ve got a prix fixe dinner (as does Maritime Parc), but they’ve also got monthly cocktail classes. Reserve a spot at their “Love Potions” class on February 13th. Shake up your own drinks and enjoy lite bites with your babe (or besties).

They’ve also got a seasonal patio with a raw bar! Are you in love with Liberty House yet? If so, visit at 76 Audrey Zapp Drive, Jersey City. If you’re interested in another eatery with NYC views, check out State Line Lookout Cafe. Up near Alpine, you’ll find this cute cafe hidden away in Palisades Interstate Park.
