One of the best ways to dine is on the water. There’s just something so peaceful and beautiful about enjoying a meal while gazing at a lake or ocean — and in New Jersey, home of the Jersey Shore, waterfront dining is easy to find.

However, one of our favorite waterfront dining options is actually on a lake in Watchung: Water and Wine. Not only is the food amazing, but the restaurant looks out onto a view that truly looks like it could be a painting.

Water and Wine might look like an unassuming restaurant from the outside, but it offers some of the best scenic dining views in the state.

You can choose to dine al-fresco or inside by one of the giant windows to admire the water and forest.

It’s easy to see why Water and Wine describes itself as “the ultimate room with a view.”

So hurry up and make a reservation at Water and Wine! They do get busy on the weekends, and you don’t want to miss out on the water or the wine.
