People enjoy our oysters with an ice-cold Belvedere martini or Kane Overhead, brewed locally,” said Sam Howley, general manager. The well-oiled machine continues in the kitchen with Executive Chef Eloy Leonor and his team. They source locally grown vegetables and herbs and receive deliveries on a daily basis from Madison Seafood. “We have a great relationship with the folks there which helps to ensure the highest quality product,” Chef Eloy said. When I first visited Washington House in Basking Ridge, I found it hard to believe the building dates back to 1860. The white, colonial-style building has gone through many changes over the years — from boarding house and bootleggers’ hideout to tavern and restaurant.

The latter is served with smoked bacon, melted gruyere cheese, grilled romaine, and Bermuda onions, along with the house-made secret sauce. With all these options, there is something for everyone — and every palate. Washington House also offers $1 oysters all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We serve oysters grown in the rack and bag method from Cape Cod and North — cold waters are best.

The biggest change to the business profile came in 2020 during the pandemic. The tent became a real refuge for the town (and many others) during the hardest times of the pandemic. The Jepsen family owns this restaurant as well as a construction company called Scandic Builders. Not only does the restaurant offer a beautiful venue with great food, drinks, and all-around hospitality; they employ happy people and take care of their staff. Washington House has built a reputation for care amongst their staff — not just the guests they serve.

They have staff that’ve been with the restaurant since the beginning — like the bar manager, Fran, who started as a food runner, and now he’s part of the management team. Meanwhile, staples like the Washington House grapefruit negroni, a twist on the classic — are continuously reworked and perfected. They often take inspiration from other venues, both local and afar, and create their own signature dishes and drinks, riffing on ideas they think will do well. While many guests come in specifically for the seafood, others head straight for the hearty burgers. Burger options include the Classic burger, Southwest black bean veggie burger, salmon burger (with avocado fries), angus sliders, and the Washington House burger.

The Cat’s Meow Village is a small company founded in Wooster, Ohio in 1982 from one simple wooden house Faline cutout on her grandfather’s saw in the loft of the hog barn. In 2013, the Jepsen Family became partners with the former owner and at that time, their construction company Scandic Builders undertook the extensive renovation. The Jepsen Family, originally from Denmark, called upon their lifelong love of travel, dining out and elevated aesthetics when they designed the new space. Washington House took back its former name when the doors opened in May 2014. The Jepsens and their staff look forward to reaching the 10 year milestone next year and have great plans for the anniversary celebration.
