For a casual dining experience conveniently located near New Jersey Transit, head on down to Montclair Station. The restaurant is built on the foundation of the Victorian-style Montclair train station, which burned down in 2005, and incorporates many of the old station's fixtures, including the original porte-cochère and roof caps. Whether sitting inside the spacious dining room which provides a view of the passing trains, or the outside which overlooks Anderson Park, guests will enjoy the Station's American-bistro styled dishes, including burgers, salads and pastas. Reservations are accepted and can be placed over the phone or on Montclair Station's website.
