Alice's gave us the most beautiful rehearsal dinner! The venue itself and the views are gorgeous, and the delicious food, drinks and service made it perfect! It was the perfect way...
to start our wedding celebration.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Alice's on 3/16/23. We wanted something that was a similar vibe to our wedding venue (Bear Brook Valley) and close to our hotel (Budd Lake Holiday In...
n) and some place that offered food other than basic eggplant parm, chicken francaise and penne vodka. We had heard about Alice's through friends, and boy are we glad we did.
First, April, was so helpful! She explained everything to us and answered every question we had (and we had a ton!)
Second, the food. OMG! All of our guests loved how unique the menu was and it was totally customized to our taste. Everyone said how nice it was having different food at a rehearsal dinner that was to die for! We had the coconut shrimp, bruschetta, and the pulled pork tostadas with smoked corn salsa, lime jalapeño aioli. They were all delicious. The house salad was crisp and fresh as well. the Ahi Tuna we had for dinner was out of this world, the mushroom ravioli was rich and vibrant and the sliced flank steak was cooked to perfection. We can't wait to go back and try their other options!
Now, the bar! The drinks were flowing and they were GOOD! Once the espresso martinis started coming out, I knew the night was going to be awesome! We never went without a drink in our hand and the ladies behind the bar were so friendly and accommodating.
And finally, the space! Our guests were floored by how beautiful it was. The beautiful views of the lake, the table setting was perfect (they even had an outside decorator decorate for us) and having the entire restaurant to ourselves made it so easy to mingle and walk around. We literally could not have asked for a better time!
We are already talking about coming back here for another meal. We could not recommend Alice's enough to anyone looking to host a private event or just go for a meal. 1000000/10!!!!!!
We just celebrated my 60th birthday party at Alice's. It was a group of 30 people. What an amazing event from the venue, to the food. It was just fantastic. April and the rest...
of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!!!
I cannot begin to express how wonderful it was to have our rehearsal dinner and after dinner welcome drinks at Alice's. The dinner was held on the enclosed patio deck with views o...
f the beautiful Lake Hopatcong. The food was delicious, the staff could not have been more pleasant and accommodating and our overall experience was truly 5-star.
I recently held my daughter’s Bridal Shower at Alice’s in Lake Hopatcong and cannot say enough about how great it all turned out. Donna, who was my contact beforehand, was so reass...
uring that everything would be great, and it was, and she was so prompt getting back to me whenever I had questions or concerns. Kerry and Arianna were my contacts the day of my shower and both were fantastic, very attentive, supportive, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Frances the chef did an amazing job with the food and presentation of the desserts. Everyone raved about the beautiful view and how good the food was (especially the salmon and salad!) Happy guests, happy bride-to-be, happy host = one great successful Bridal Shower! I would highly recommend Alice’s in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a place to host an event.
I had my daughters Bridal shower at Alice's, and it was FANTISTIC. From the first meeting with Brittany Van Arsdale who listen to every detail and made it an extremely beautiful...
day. Any questions or ideas that I or the Maid of Honor had Brittany was right there taking care of it. The servers, the cooks everyone was just amazing. The service and food were wonderful. All of the guest loved the room and food and can't stopping talking about how beautiful the day was. I cannot Thank them enough for making my Daughters Bridal shower a memorable day!
We recently had my son and his, now wife's, rehearsal dinner at Alice's, and it was the perfect venue! The setting was just perfect with the walls of windows, looking out to a gorg...
eous view of the lake, and sunset! The room size was just right for the amount of people we had attending. The staff was simply amazing! Ariana and Nicki, worked so hard all night to keep everyone happy, serving food and drinks, and were just a pleasure to be around! They were so sweet, patient, accommodating, helpful, and just the absolute best! All of the guests kept commenting on how wonderful they both were! Brittany, who helped me plan and organize it all, was so easy to work with and so patient with all my emails and questions, during the process.
The atmosphere, the drinks, food, desserts and specialty coffees, were all wonderful!! We couldn't have had a more perfect evening to celebrate the happy couple! I highly recommend Alice's at Nolans Point, for any function you may be wanting to plan.
I recently rented out Big Fish Lounge at Alice's for a 20th high school reunion and was SO happy with the experience! The atmosphere is awesome (beautiful view of the lake on the p...

e. Downstairs was a full bar and games for our guests to enjoy. It had the most perfect laid back party vibe which was exactly what we wanted. The bartenders made the party even better- our guests wanted to hire them for other events. We choose a buffet and the food was truly spectacular. Our event coordinator communicated well with us and made sure the day was exactly how we envisioned it. Truly a beautiful venue with amazing food/drinks and friendly staff.

with Brittany and she always got back to me promptly, making recommendations to help us hit their minimum for private parties.
On the day of, our dinner was held in the "four seasons room" and we had the most incredible sunset overlooking the lake. The food was phenomenal and the service was 10/10! It felt really special and intimate that we were the only event being held there.
I can't recommend Alice's enough if you have an upcoming event!!!!
We hosted my son's and now daughter-in-law's rehearsal party at Alice's. It was a spectacular evening, not only due to the cooperating weather, beautiful view of the lake, and fir...
eworks, but most importantly the care and attention given by Brittany and her entire staff to us and our guests. The food was delicious and every detail from planning through the night of the event was executed perfectly! Can't wait to host another event at Alice's!
Rehearsal Brunch for 29 guests 3 July 2022, 12-3. Put on by the Groom's Mother.
Alice's was very easy to work with and Brittney was fantastic. She answered all my questions in a v...
ery timely manner and really put me at easy. The location was beautiful. The main brunch choices were amazing. However, I do need to mention there were dessert items that were not served which I had chosen for our menu and I was paying for. The substitutions they made were not adequate and looked cheap. I would have preferred to be told some items were difficult to get (chocolate dipped strawberries in July??) and let me know what my options were to be served as substitutions or move on to a different dessert selection. Not substitute with some meager dessert items like mini whoopy pies (which I never would have chosen) and slices of pound cake (which is very inexpensive), These were not the dessert items I selected nor in my contract. Out of the 6 dessert items listed under Brownies & Bars only 1 was served from the Brownies & Bars list, the brownies, and the whoopy pies and sliced pound cake Alice's added on their own along with our left over brunch item Bombolonis (which were amazing) which we did not finish up originally at the main courses. I do understand some vendors no longer exist due to COVID but then you need to figure that out. Once I realized dessert items were missing (because no one on staff said a word) and I mentioned it to the bartender only then were they willing to take it off my bill. Unfortunately to me, the lack of desserts looked very cheap and lack luster at the end of an amazing brunch and I was very disappointed. All that said they were very easy to work with and the main food choices I made were very, very good. Location was beautiful. Patio configuration was great. Everyone did have fun!

ortant to us. They were very responsive during the planning process, made everything easy for us and were extremely professional and kind during our event. In classic bride manner, I didn't get to eat much during the event and they were kind enough to leave my plate out for me to keep picking out and even gave me a dish to go! Everyone said how lovely the venue (and view of the sunset!) was and how good the food was. Would highly recommend Alice's for any group dining event!
I’m very thankful for the great service, professionalism and courtesy that we received from the waitstaff, chef and manager.
All my guests enjoyed our Rehearsal Dinner and we have...

night. The room itself was private and just available to our group, which made the experience feel more personal and intimate. We had our guests telling us all evening how wonderful the space was and how delicious the food tasted. We'd definitely recommend Alice's for hosting your event!
We had our post-wedding brunch at Alice's and our experience was flawless from start to finish. We love this restaurant not only because of the incredible view of Lake Hopatcong (a...
nd the giant sliding doors that give you an outside while inside feel) but because of the team who works there! Kim and Katherine made booking the event so easy, laying out all the potential packages and helping us weigh which options were best for a group of our size. They suggested a table layout and seating arrangement so all we had to do was place the names at the tables. Samantha created the most beautiful floral centerpieces for our tables that looked gorgeous with the linens they provided. We were able to drop off our party favors the night before so all we had to do was show up on the day of our event and everything was set up, looking beautiful. We decided last minute to play the video of our ceremony for our guests, and without hesitation, Samantha tastefully set up a TV in the space so guests didn't have to watch off my computer. We did a combination of breakfast foods plus penne vodka and balsamic chicken. Everything was outstanding. My mother-in-law said the scrambled eggs were the best she's ever had. Nikki, Jules and Payton on the waitstaff were so kind and attentive to the needs of all of our guests (plus always checking on us to see if we wanted or needed anything personally). Our family was raving about what a wonderful event we had for the rest of the weekend. Highly recommend Alice's for a beautiful, stress-free, memorable event!

e very easy to work with and flexible with some last minute changes we had. We had booked the venue originally before the pandemic when it was still a public restaurant and did not iron out the welcome party details until last minute but they put us at ease in working out the logistics so quickly. The planner and staff were great and would highly recommend them for any events!
We had my daughter's Bridal Shower at Alice's in May. The food and service was great, not to mention the view was beautiful. I highly recommend Alice's!

I am so happy that we decided to go with Alice's for my sister's Bridal Shower. I am the Maid of Honor and was responsible for hosting her event. We had the entire place to ourselv...
es and the most beautiful views of the lake. It was even a bloomy day for most of the shower, yet the views were still just as gorgeous. We chose Alice's because it had a permanent head covering. We could have chosen to open the windows and if it rained, we still could have hosted our event. It was the best option when we booked back in January 2021 and were not sure how things were going to be with COVID. We received a lot of compliments on the venue, the food, the staff, and everything else in between. Many of the guests said to me that this was the most beautiful shower they ever went to. Parking was ample for our guests and we chose the open bar option so our guests could walk right up to the bar and get whatever drinks they wanted to get. The food was really good too--I noticed more of our guests cleaned their plates and you know that is usually a sign of a delicious meal! Kim, the event manager, was also super accommodating and very responsive. Do yourself a favor and book Alice's for your next event. I will totally be keeping them in mind for the future and I have a feeling that some of the guests will be too!
