Molly Pitcher Inn   

There's something about a Sunday that makes brunch all the more tempting -- especially for those who frequent Red Bank's Molly Pitcher Inn. With its striking views along the Navesink, its old-world service and its world-class creative American cuisine, the Inn is frequently on "best of" lists for top Jersey brunches. Venture off the brunch trail, though, and you'll discover that Molly Pitcher has a bevy of sublime dishes to offer, including special-occasion dinner standbys like veal chops, filet mignon with shiitake mushrooms demiglace and rack of lamb. Be prepared to splurge: A meal at the Molly Pitcher Inn will take a bite out of your budget, but it will also give you a visual and culinary experience to remember. Jackets are required after 5PM, while reservations for Sunday brunch are essential.
