Went to Berkeley Cut on Friday and everything was absolutely delicious. We started with the octopus appetizer -- it was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My wife got the filet mignon steak and said it was outstanding, cooked perfectly just how she wanted it. I had the vodka sauce pasta with sausage, and the pasta tasted incredibly fresh -- just all around amazing. Great food, great experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Exceptional service, great atmosphere and delicious food. Will definitely be going back.

Really cool place. Great vibe. Our server Katie was amazing. Great personality and a great server. The overall experience was awesome. The pork chop was cooked perfectly. The carrots and mashed were equally excellent. My mother had the pork chops and she loved it. We will be back. Please support this place. It's well worth it. read more

The stars are all for the food as everything was delicious. We went memorial weekend and it was chilly so service was slow and we were seated outside with not enough fire places to cover all the tables. We shared one with another table and asked three people to turn on the other one until we finally learned it was broken. The dishes were great - shared the crab/avocado, steak meatballs, and the lobster bolognese. We shared the filet mignon, strip steak and halibut with a side of Brussels sprouts and asparagus. Lastly we had the donuts for dessert- OMG delicious! read more

Our waitress was great, even when she got very busy she made sure we were taken care of by others. We relaxed over our bottle of wine then had octopus and clams in garlic sauce for our appetizer. The octopus was out of this world delicious the clams were just ok. For the meal 2 had the porterhouse and I had the lamb chop appetizer with 2 sides, all was cooked to perfection. One of us had dessert to share and coffee. The dessert was like the girl scout cookie samoas, 2 excellent donuts with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, enough for 3 to share. It is not a cheap night out for dinner but worth every dollar read more

Amazing food and drinks! Dress code online says formal but there are people in jeans. Don't wear a hoodie, though. No cut offs, etc. Yes, the place is pricey. The atmosphere upholds that. Had a nice relaxing guitarist in the corner. There's a bar with maybe about 15 seats. Probably about the same amount of tables, plus a spacious patio. Filet minion ($62) and NY strip ($64) were cooked perfectly. Got the flight of sauces with it and that was well worth the $18. The bordelaise was our favorite. My boyfriend had the Berkeley Infusion drink that was served through an "oversized martini glass shaped pitcher." ($18 See photo) It was sweet and fruity. I had the Bee's Knees ($18.) It had a kick to it (hot honey for the win!) and was perfectly balanced. Delicious drinks! Even the house Pinot Grigio was good! (Alois Lageder $11) If you get a port for dessert, I suggest the Bin 27 ($16.) Speaking of dessert, the cobbler was amazing! I don't like cobblers, but this was a hot, fruity plate of goodness. All in all, amazing experience. The only reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars: 3% credit card fee that ALSO affects the tax percentage. It added an extra ~ $10 to the tab. Considering their already high prices, I'm sure the establishment can afford credit card transactions. read more

So where to start?! With Joe, our server! This guy was an A+++... knowledgeable, personable and I want BCS and the owners to know that. Great person. Reservations at 6pm on Saturday of Labor Day Weekend on patio. And...never felt rushed or hurried in anyway. The whole crew made us feel at home, including young bussers.... We got three apps to share (between 5) - pork ribs, littlenecks and surf/turf skewers. All exceptional. Entrees ranged from a couple A+ steaks to some Ahi, lobster tails and halibut. So...you can look at the price but you can't experience the quality until you've ordered here!!! Dessert time was a mix of crème brûlées, tartufos, kahlua and steamed milk and Irish coffees. Great finish!!! Once again, we had a great last night of vacation but Joe really was part of it. Thanks BCS!!! read more

Ate here many times. Always great food, service, & drinks. Will keep continuing to come here! read more

Berkeley Cut Steakhouse - Wagyu filet on a stone - Steakhouses Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

SEASIDE PARK: Berkeley Cut is a fine dining restaurant specializing in steaks and seafood. They have an extensive wine list and full bar with specially-made cocktails. Dogs are allowed on their outdoor patio during Sunday brunch from 11am-3pm. There is a special menu featuring different options and you can also order off the main menu. The avocado toast and lobster eggs Benedict are great! The outdoor space is fully covered on the roof and when the weather is bad, they can roll down awnings to keep the area fully enclosed.

Great experience On Dec 6, 2025. Dinner date with my husband on a Saturday. Packed restaurant! Could only get an early reservation. Nice surprise was live entertainment (beyond awesome! Playing a combo of holiday jazz instrumental and 70's-80's light music). Food was incredible (please order the garlic bread).... but guess what!?? aside from the amazing food... the actual gem was the service. Jared M. was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. Get this..... Jared took a knee at our table to connect with us and explain the dessert options. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about all the food there. Thank you Jared! Also, there was a gentleman whose job was to spend the night walking through the restaurant just looking to accommodate customer needs. We felt very special! I may not be a princess ...... but this place made me feel like one read more

I'll give them 3 stars because they're just starting out but we will not be back. Mediocre service. They brought out everything not on a tray but with the kids holding your plate with their hands. The food was good but it took way to long to be served. For the price you're paying and the service you got it is way too over priced The music doesn't match the vibe. We aren't sure what they're trying to go for. The waitress was great and sweet. (This review is from Aug 11th, 2021 when we went) read more

Hands down, the best steakhouse in the seaside area! This spot offers an upscale yet comfortable steakhouse ambiance with beautiful decor and excellent service! I was so impressed by the quality of food and how beautifully everything was plated to match how delicious it was! Some of their appetizers were incredibly unique and we absolutely loved that! This place is great for a special occasion or date night and even have a lovely patio outdoor seating area during the warmer weather. Definitely make a reservation as it is very busy! read more

10 out of 10!! We were a party of 8 and sat outside. Our waitress was Jules. She was very friendly and attentive. All of our food from appetizers to dessert was delicious. Everything came out perfect including our mixed drinks. We are a bunch of foodies and we couldn't say anything negative at all. Highly recommend Berkeley Cut!! read more

I mean - this spot just underwent quite a transformation and I was blown away. I'll need to go back and get the full summer experience with the patio bar and outdoor seating but this was a solid steakhouse - one of the best at the jersey shore IMO The interior design was nice a cozy rustic modern feel with an awesome bar right when you walk in. The service, particularly Nakirah, was top notch - she was awesome and provided great recommendations!! The food.. just got for yourself. You don't have to take my word for it but the seafood dishes were fresh, fantastic crust on the tomahawk and exceptional cocktails. Make the trip. read more

The food is amazing. The service was wonderful. Went during Christmas time so it was a tad on the loud side but decorated very nice.

Service is amazing, food is amazing love this spot but they need to get their pet policy together. We called in Friday and were told dogs that are well behaved and won't Disturb patrons are allowed in the patio. We brought three dogs and saw other dogs there. We went back today and a manager comes out and tells us they aren't a dog friendly after seeing us walk by with dogs. We were very confused and she replied that she wasn't there Friday. I love this place but that makes me not want to go back. read more

I had been hearing mixed reviews, but had an incredible meal and experience when my bf and I went last weekend. The ambiance is very chic and it's nice to have an upscale steakhouse so close by! The octopus was amazing (chimichurri sauce was on point!) as was the tomahawk. We also ordered the wedge salad, brussel sprouts, and truffle parm fries. My bf insisted on dessert and we had a great special which was banana biscoff cake (by far one of the best desserts I've ever had!) Our server (Kaitlin, I believe) was so lovely and very helpful as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

OUTSTANDING! Nakirah was the most beautiful and incredible person who gave us a beyond excellent dining experience! Well done my friend ! The food... WOWWW WOW! The garlic bread, the arugula salad, the oysters, the horseradish, the mini Tabasco, the OYSTERS. The garlic chicken , the ribs and the steak and accompaniments so delish. Wine and cocktails, ON POINT ! The service was impeccable and I can't wait to go back and hope to finish my plate ! Thank you Gerry read more

Terrible Service & Overpriced Food Came for my mom's birthday and had an awful experience. Our $18 drinks were wrong, and my parents' $70 steaks arrived while I waited over 25 minutes for my chicken that never arrived. No one checked on us, so we had to approach management--who did not care. After another 10 minutes, my food still wasn't there. My parents' steaks were cold since they were waiting for me, and we had no choice but to leave. The offered us no apology, no refund--just a complete waste of time and money. Avoid this place. read more

Took the wife and kids out for dinner this spot was perfect. Finally a steak house that knows how to cook perfect steaks! We started with octopus with crispy frites, fried cherry peppers over chimichuri. A delicious arugula salad with a house vinaigrette. Coconut shrimp was so so. For entrees we shared a 16oz dry aged ny strip and it did not disappoint. Great selection of cocktails and drinks with excellent service. You really get that jersey shore marina ambiance with a touch of upscale Manhattan vibe. Great local gem to visit we will definitely be back. Thank you to one of the best servers we encountered "Madison" she was very attentive, and didn't forget anything! read more

We are down the beach tonight and craving a good hunk of dead beef lol. Heard about a place called Berkeley Cut so off we go. I went online and pulled up their menu and sooprize, sooprize, sooprize, no prices. Went to Yelp pulled up a picture of the menu and saw a 46oz Porter House for two at $120. Yummy I'm in. Went to make a reservation and bam shut down nothing available for 3 days. So our friend who was sitting next to us on the beach advised just show up and sit at the bar for dinner. Ahhhh my smile came back. 6:15 pm we arrive and the place is packed with about 15 people waiting, there is an inside bar and an outside bar both had plenty of seats available. Double Jack on the rocks here I come. Our bartenders were very nice, went over our specials. Porter house look out. Well we can scratch that off. The $120 porter house was a picture 3 years ago, did not investigate that enough lol. In three years the price went up 40% to $165. Sorry now my principles take over. Andrea ordered an 8oz filet and I ordered 20oz NY strip. The sides we picked were creamy spinach with bacon and melted blue cheese. Along with grilled Brussel sprouts. Dinner came out out in about 20 min. The steaks were done to perfection and had a very nice seasoning. The brussel sprouts were excellent along with the spinach. No dessert because it's now time for ice cream and ski ball. This place has a hip vibe to it, and the outdoor area was clean and inviting. Total bill was $200. Is it pricey yes, would I get a steak every time no. They have a bar menu with sandwiches that looked really good and other dishes I would like to try. Will I return, yes but in the economy now it won't be as frequent. Good job to Berkeley Cut's chef and staff read more

Delicious food, excellent service - the special was amazing. Definitely not understanding the bad comments on here... it wasn't Capital Grille but it's also not trying to be. It's possible to have excellent steak and friendly service at a premium price point without the snooty atmosphere! Honestly isn't that preferable?? read more

Wish we read the reviews before we entered. We were excited to try a new place and couldn't wait for their opening. The building makeover looks great, but for what they spent on making it look nice, they should have spent on training, as it is severely lacks in service. We arrived and every employee were standing around chatting, blocking the entry as well as the rest rooms. We were not greeted. I had to say excuse me to get there evokes chatting at the bathroom entrance to step aside so I could enter. I returned from the rest room and S was still standing at the entry not seated. He is 6'3, hard to miss. Finally, someone sat us (there was only one other table of guests), yet we were seated at a dirty table with literally a whole piece of toast on my chair, the floor was filthy and spilled liquid was on so many areas of the floor between the bar/front door and our table we were worried to slip. The owner or manager stood nearby enough to our table that we could overhear his conversation as he chatted with two waitresses about their upcoming travel plans. While we were ignored along with the mess. Sadly, I cannot tell you about the food as after sitting, ignored, for ten minutes, no one came to wipe our table, bring us water, coffee, or take our order, so we got up and left, again no one seemed to notice us as we made our way to the door. We don't plan on going back, which is a shame because it's within walking distance to our home. Hopefully they fix these issues as they are not new to the restaurant game, they also own Bum Rogers, so hopefully they will train their staff much better and enjoy a bristling business. read more

What an absolutely phenomenal meal. First visit to the new dry aged steakhouse was an unbelievable success. Beautiful job done by the owners in renovating the building to create an upscale vibe. Bar service was great while we waited for our table. The Watermelon Tuna Poke was a home run, the deep cove oysters were magnificent. The lollipop lamp chops were a true pleasure. Even the wedge salad turned heads. Brussel sprouts should be a must with every steak. Mashed potatoes were a treat! The Porterhouse for 2 had a wonderful dry aged must to it. It was absolutely delicious and the best steak I've had all summer. We could not be more thrilled to add an upscale steakhouse to the neighborhood. For only being open 2 weeks, things seems to be rocking! Place was packed till 10pm on a Sunday. read more
