The Rutherford is perfect for those who want to host a party in a more upscale location. The venue was classy, lively, and immaculate. Our guests complimented the choice of venue as well as the food that was served. The staff was attentive and very helpful. Jack, the bartender, even gave me a drink on the house. It was also a pleasure coordinating the details of the event with Emma. Will definitely consider this venue again in the future.

Amazing experience with The Rutherford for my post-NYC Marathon family/friends gathering. The space was perfect, comfortable and fun vibes. The food was a hit, too! Emma's communication from the beginning was amazing! Thank you so much!
