New Jersey has a lot of history in its restaurants and hotels, and few locations are more historic than the iconic Bernards Inn, located in Bernardsville. This iconic building was first built in 1907 and has operated as a hotel and restaurant for more than a century. But times change, and its old-school dining room has given way to something very different – the location of David Burke’s new restaurant! The popular celebrity chef has opened Red Horse by David Burke, a unique steakhouse with all of the celebrity chef’s signature eye-catching dishes without losing the Bernards Inn’s characteristic old-school charm. We took a look inside this new twist on a classic institution and were blown away by the impressive decor, the delicious-looking dishes, and all the touches that made David Burke one of the most famous chefs working today.

The Bernards Inn is one of the most famous hotels in New Jersey, for good reason.
