Restaurant Review

Alice's Restaurant, located on the lake in Lake Hopatcong, is popular with diners who enjoy reasonably priced, well prepared food in an attractive, lakeside setting. A good choice for a date or a romantic occasion.

The menu has now evolved into a mix of creative, healthy dishes and comfort food with very reasonable prices.

Alice's Restaurant has attractive lake front views of Lake Hopatcong with a large deck for outside dining in the warmer months.

The interior has a rustic decor with vaulted ceilings, restored barn wood walls, comfortable booths, and a mahogany bar that runs the length of the deck for a clear view of the lake.

The downstairs "Big Fish Lounge" offers a more upscale complement to the upstairs dining area with subdued lighting, walls done up in upholstered leather, weathered mirrors, leather seating and a marble bar with a view of the water.

The kitchen serves a seasonal menu using fresh seasonal ingredients

When in season they use local produce picked fresh from the Szigethys’ Halsey Island farm.
