Escape the chill at these cozy New Jersey restaurants with warm fireplaces and comforting winter vibes.

These restaurants will make you feel good that you actually got out and enjoyed a night out. These are warm and cozy, the atmosphere that we absolutely need right now.

Most of these spectacular restaurants I have been to. Some of these restaurants have fireplaces. They are inviting, especially in the winter. Cozy to me reminds me of that warm feeling when you walk into a place.

There are a couple of different food groups that make you think of fall, spring, summer and winter. Seafood is usually a spring and summer thing, especially in New Jersey. But, for me, delicious scallops are what exactly I need to warm up. I can eat them year-round.

My husband would always choose steak. Yes, steak screams winter, and cozy, and the extras like mashed potatoes or baked potatoes. We can't forget about the warm soups that are perfect for the winter months.

Some of these restaurants are pricey and some are not. Most are family-owned restaurants that are just unbelievably delicious. You will not be disappointed with these six fabulous New Jersey restaurants. Most are very unique and truly loved in their communities.
