Walked into a beautiful place. We stated with a great bread basket. Maybe the best I've ever had…read more And the great food continued. For appys, we had a wedge salad w/ a slice of bacon, which my wife enjoyed. I had baked clams, which I loved! For dinner, my wife had Filet Mignon and mac & cheese on the side. The meat was cooked perfectly and the mac & cheese was great. I had a Wagyu rib eye cap and Brussel sprouts on the side. The meat was perfect, and so were the sprouts. For dessert, my wife had the affogato, which both of us loved. The only disappointment of the night was the Tiramisu, not flavorful at all. The service was top-notch, I appreciated that the waiter was not a kid, which so many places use these days. It's very expensive, $380 for two (BYOB), including tip. As great a meal as it was, I don't think I will be a regular. If I come back, it won't be for the steak, mine cost $115. The mains don't include sides, it's all a la carte. If the money doesn't bother you, or it's a special occasion, I highly recommend this restaurant. Somebody in that kitchen, knows what they are doing!

What an unfortunate turn of events. We arrived as a party of 4 on a Friday evening around 6 pm…read moreexpecting a well needed, well deserved, enjoyable meal amongst friends. I was especially looking forward to ordering the ribeye and lit up instantly when the server listed it as one of the specials. The server shared that he would need to collect the orders for all of our courses at the same time which was fine with me. I actually had more confidence in the timing of everything for that reason. Our server had a delightful energy particularly at the beginning of our visit. After we placed our orders, everything began to fall apart. It did get noticeably busy since we first arrived, but we ultimately waited for our main entrees for over 3 hours. 3 hours. The table ordered the charred octopus and the oysters to start. The oysters hit the table fairly quickly, but then we began to gradually notice how long it was taking for the octopus to come. I had only a slither of the octopus so that I could say I tried it. Everyone at the table raved about the taste. I did, however, agree that their oysters were delicious especially when dressed with a little bit of mignonette, lemon, horseradish and a touch of Tabasco sauce. I'm excited to now report that I am a fan of fresh oysters from the east coast, because apparently the coast matters. The table also ordered the canaletto stuffed with mascarpone, parmesan and another cheese, langostines and lobster with morel mushroom cream sauce, garnished with truffles. I passed on this one also as it was too adventurous for my taste buds; although, their delicious bread and our drinks did distract me for a little while. The restaurant is BYOB, so we had our wine to keep us company while we observed other tables come and go. We eventually asked to see the manager and was told there wasn't a manager on duty which was either untrue or a very poor decision on the part of the owners considering it was a Friday evening. Having someone occasionally check in with our table may have also helped to take the pressure off of the server who may have gotten overwhelmed or decided to prioritize other tables. Having a manager offer a personal apology may have helped us feel less forgotten about. After the three hour mark, we decided this was enough. I didn't have much to eat at this point, but I wasn't at all worried initially since I was there for the main event, the ribeye. I stopped a hostess who was walking past our table and asked for the manager. We were again told the manager is not here but can be called, if needed. I simply replied, "Please do". Shortly afterwards, I noticed our server who at this time was standing by the host stand briskly walk into the kitchen and then return to our table with our plates. I sent the food back which was a decision that was supported by everyone at the table. Let me tell you, that was a difficult decision to make, but I also was ready to call it a night. Our mood had changed, and I truly felt like we were derservant of having the same experience as everyone else that night. Our server apologized for his part to play in the ordeal which I appreciated since I know his intention was never malicious, but unfortunately we had to call this night a bust. He offered us dessert on the house, and our entire meal was comped which we felt was an appropriate resolution. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch bread pudding which was a favorite. Very good. Jasper Stone is a beautiful establishment with decorative yellow and white floral arrangements throughout the dining area. It is clearly a popular restaurant and has many positive reviews. I regret that I could not have a comparable experience.

I can say it was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Sweet potatoes casserole who've was so good. Sweet but not even close to too sweet. The spinach was good and I did add some pepper to them. But tasty indeed. Our waiter was really good and attentive. We were one of the first to arrive as it was a early dinner at 4:30pm. But by 5:15 it was crowded and a wait if you had no reservations. Definitely a place I would come back to. I want to try the bone in ribeye steak 14 Oz. The birthday party was really God and this made av great place to enjoy it.

The appetizers are not only delicious but also incredibly generous in size, so they can easily fill you up. Everything we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented. The scallop dish was especially delicious and definitely something I would order again. And you have to save room for dessert--or, in this case, a Ferrero Rocher drink! It was the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. You can tell they know the menu well and take pride in making sure guests have a great experience. Overall, Mezcal delivers amazing food, creative drinks, a beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend it, and we will definitely be back!

However, based off my standout experience at Mezcal on Saturday night (10/3) for a night out drinking cocktails with my girlfriend, I felt inclined to share my experience. First off, you pull into the parking lot and it's in the middle of nowhere in Old Bridge. Once you open the restaurant door and walk in, it feels like entering a high-end hotspot in Manhattan. Completely different world. We sat at the bar, immediately were taken care of by the kind hostess, and began the night. My girlfriend made a comment to me, she said, "all of the bartenders look so calm". This was during the typical dinner rush @ 7-8 pm. Two standout bartenders, the first was a woman who had been there for 3 months (did not catch her name) and then another bartender named Mike. Both were splendid. Mike was deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and personable. He took time to explain all different types of liquors at the establishment, he took the time to cater to our requests and made some of the best cocktails both of us had ever had in our lives. It was incredible to me to watch the attention to detail and calmness during the busiest hours on a jam-packed Saturday night dinner rush. The service is remarkable, the team on Saturday night was remarkable, and that's rare with a dining experience post-Covid. We will definitely be back, this is our permanent date night cocktail spot. Thank you for the wonderful night.

Their commitment to hospitality beats most restaurants I've ever visited. In our reservation, I noted that we were celebrating a birthday. When we were sat at the table, a birthday card was waiting for my mom. Our waitress Bailey was so nice and accommodated my mom's request to not draw too much attention to the celebration. I also adore the atmosphere in 618. The lighting is so elegant with the many chandeliers and the flowers on the walls. 618 has easily become a top restaurant for me.

This place is not worth it and I won't be coming back again. I just paid $17 dollars and got a small platter with rice and beans and she was super cheap on the beans and the pepper steak I got was like three pieces in the tray. I paid for all rice.

We wanted to try somewhere new and had never been to gusto grill before, so I suggested it. It was a Saturday night so we thought there might have been a long wait. Although the place did seem a bit busy, we only had to wait about 5 minutes before being seated at a high top table. For apps we picked the korean sticky ribs and the shrimp and avocado spring rolls. The spring rolls were well packed and covered in a good amount of sauce, but not too much. The ribs were pretty good, but I don't think I'd get them again. I tasted them first and mentioned that they had a weird initial taste, and when my wife tried them she had the exact same thought as me -- they tasted like dog. Like wet dog. I know this sounds both ridiculous and disgusting, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. Overall, they were decent but I'd rather try something else instead next time. As positives, they were very tender and decently sized. For our entrees, I picked the bulgogi beef bowl while my wife went with the bourbon steak sandwich. The bulgogi bowl was a good portion size and was tasty. Would've liked more meat, but I wouldn't say they skimped. The steak sandwich, however, was the highlight. The bread was their own focaccia which was great. The sandwich was delicious and the steak was incredibly tender. She was too full to finish it so she saved half and it all reheated well in the air fryer the next day. The ambiance was nice as well. It was noisy and it wasn't exactly intimate, but it was nicer for a casual establishment. Not where I'd go if I were looking for a romantic date night, but for a casual date night with delicious food, I'd recommend for sure.
