Simple and wholesome food made appetizing by the touch of committed chefs is the primary fare at The Park and Orchard Restaurant in East Rutherford. This unassuming restaurant believes in using only the freshest ingredients and is very passionate about using natural foods, so refined sugar, bleached flour and preservatives are a strict no-no. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing and just right if you want to take the family out for healthy and tasty fare, particularly as they have child sized entrées that are perfect for the little ones.

The cuisine is a bit of a mixed thing, with Oriental, Italian, Cajun and Mediterranean influences, so you could find appetizers of pastrami smoked salmon with sour cream horseradish sauce followed by a main dish of chicken sesame with broccoli stir fried in a spicy Shanghai sauce while other entrées include braised beef short ribs or linguini pesto. Choose the pecan pie or Mississippi mud cake for dessert; the wine list is extensive and international featuring numerous interesting choices.
