The interior is chic and modern and the service is excellent. They had a birthday party going on in the patio and I noticed the attentiveness of the staff in managing and executing the orders. I had an exotic take on the caprese salad served bamboo shoots and it was mind blowing. They serve bread with butter in the side and olives, complementary. The butter was seasoned with herbs. The seared tuna was served with soy sauce and chop sticks, but it was so well seasoned on its own, that I didnt use soy sauce at all. It was delightful, and what I appreciated was how they serve water...something so bangle as a glass of water is served with ice and a wedge of lemon or lime (your choice). It is a detail that you encounter only in Michelin starred restaurants. It is worth the price. Kearny is a hidden gem, and Qtal is a welcomed addition. It felt zen.

If you have a headache or want to have a conversation without yelling across the table, this may not be the place for you lol. I forgot to take pictures because by the time the food finally came out, I was starving and dug right in. The food itself was good. I ordered the combination combo with head-off shrimp, lobster tail, and snow crab legs. It also came with one piece of corn and a few potatoes for around $40. The restaurant is BYOB, which is a plus. The downside was the service. Our waitress was kind of missing in action throughout the meal, and it was hard to get attention when we needed something. Overall, the food was good enough that I would consider coming back, but probably only for takeout. If you don't mind loud music and so-so service, you may enjoy dining in more than I did.

She apologized and took it back. When it returned, I sliced it open again and it was still rare. She took the plate a second time with another "sorry," and that was it--no compensation, no offer to remake it properly, nothing. The server was the girl who works the late-night shift. Absolute worst service. She never checked on the table to make sure everything was okay--only showed up when I had to flag her down twice about the steak. The whole experience killed my appetite and ruined the meal. Not sure if they had a different cook on Wednesday, but whoever was on the grill that night has no business cooking at a place that calls itself a steakhouse.

My friend and I adored coming to this restaurant, which makes this experience especially…read moredisappointing. Last week I went with 2 friends. This restaurant has good boils at reasonable prices which is we liked the idea of eating dinner there. We ordered 2 drinks , 1 soda , two $29.99 Cajun boils , a $15 crab sandwich. The food and atmosphere were good at first. One of my friends had never eaten any seafood boil. So this experience was exciting for us because we thought she would end up loving it! While receiving their boils, my friend realized her boil didn't include the cluster snow crab legs that come in other boils from the "Our favorite boils" section. We didn't have any menu in hand but we asked our waitress if we could add a cluster of those crab legs that comes with the other boils from that same section. She immediately said, 'Yes, of course,' and ran to put in the order. When she came back she brought out a bag with crab , 1 corn, and 2 potatoes. The 1 cluster of legs she brought weren't enormous or noticeably different to us, so their appearance gave us no reason to think we'd been served a much more expensive type of crab. When the bill arrived, we discovered she had added KING crab legs for an additional $160. We had not requested KING crab legs. When we questioned it, she said we had specifically asked for them, which we did NOT. At no point before serving them did anyone tell us it was a king crab leg . Nor that the add-on would cost $160. We had chosen $29.99 boils. It makes NO sense that we would then add an item worth $ 160 . We asked for the menu to see what sort of mess went on. We saw the menu lists snow crab legs at $21 per cluster, while king crab legs are marked 'market price.' We would NEVER have agreed to a $160 add-on if we had known. After a LONG discussion, the manager Eventually decided to take $80 off the bill for the situation. The discussion was very long... We did not like the service at all, especially the server fabricating what was actually said. In top of everything else, we were infuriated that the tip, remained the same throughout the entire situation & we did not like the way we were serviced . When we questioned it they advised that that is just how it worked there. The tip didn't match the total. The $50.89 automatic service charge stayed exactly the same on the revised receipt, even though the food subtotal dropped from $282.72 to $202.72. *** The menu says the service charge is 18%, so I would have appreciated an explanation of why it was still calculated on the original amount. What would have happened if we hadn't had the money to cover an unexpected aditional $ 160 charge? Customers should be able to decide whether they can afford an item before it's brought to the table. What started as a nice night ended with us feeling misled and having to argue over a charge we never knowingly agreed to. Please confirm the item and price with customers, especially when an add-on costs $160. Although I DONT expect anything further to be done about our bill Because I have yet to receive any reply from their direct online forum. Everything here was a let down. What I do hope is that this makes other customers aware because clearly no one else will advise them before hand & they will have to be left fighting over it at the end. I do NOT recommend.

Then the appetizer- we had the shrimp with garlic sauce, the chorizo and the grilled octopus. All 3 as if we were in Spain. Entree's all were accompanied by vegetables rice and chips. We had the cod, red snapper and halibut. Then we split a chicken Piaya - the house specialty. Having had piaya in the past it seems to be overwhelming rice but this was not. Great balance of ingredients sauce flavor and rice. We tried a couple of the sauces on the side for the fish and while excellent- they were not necessary as the fish was excellent on its own. We also enjoyed a flan for dessert and cafe and cappuccino. Considering the amount of food we had and leftovers I thought the price was quite reasonable. All servers and matre di were dressed in formal black and white and the room was a formal dining area. Truly enjoyable. We'll be back!

The full marks are there for the waiter, the layout/ambiance and the cocktails…read more Got in with a reservation (please do book a reservation if you're going on a weekend night, because this place can get pretty full pretty quickly), and we're seated pretty much instantly. If you're a party of six skinny people, you'll do just fine in the chairs. If you're fat Americans like us, it's going to be a tight squeeze. They do a really smart thing. The window seats are pushed a bit away from the windows, so that when the waiter comes to take your order, they don't block the middle aisle where people are trying to walk or carry stuff to tables. Brilliant idea, and one which I wish more would do. The chairs are those mid century modern rattan backed chrome bottomed office chair looking guys. They're comfortable enough, even for us fats, but the rattan was starting to wear out. Hopefully, they'll see to getting them serviced, because it makes the place look a bit ragged. The tables were a lovely size, with plenty of space for our drinks, our food, and the beautiful bespoke charger plates they had on the table with Sihana branding on it. They kept the TVs and other built in furniture from the old Kinjo that used to be here. When we went, the stuff on the TVs was pretty generic. This is fine. Not a lot of places know what to do with those TVs. Back when the location used to be KInjo, they played either K-dramas, Anime, or other such themed shows on there with subtitles, so that it keeps the place on theme. This is NOT an allergy friendly place. If you're vegan, you're going to get either the cocktails, or a dry salad. Also, there's cocktails that have honey, so watch out for that as well. The falafel sandwich, which should be vegan anywhere else you get it, has egg in it. Not ON it, but IN it. The fries are all cooked in shared oil. How shared is the oil? One of our table mates got a mild allergic reaction (she has a shellfish allergy), and had to grab a Benadryl when she got home. It wasn't bad enough for her eyes to close up and have to go to the hospital, but her face was getting flushed, and she started getting really itchy. I'm sure the food was fine. I've been with this group dining out several times. If they're seriously enjoying themselves, they'll usually be raving about what's on their plate, and let the waiter know how good it all was. That didn't happen here. Everyone LOVED the appetisers. That cheesy bread situation was a huge hit. The cocktails are strong, and beautifully made. Well balanced with the right blend of sweetness, tartness, and slight burn of alcohol. Absolutely no complaints there. When the bill came, there's a credit card processing fee. I'd say the place is good. Here's why they're getting full marks: The waiter let us know IMMEDIATELY that there will be nothing for me to eat. He didn't have to go to the kitchen to ask what was safe. He knew immediately that there's nothing at all on the menu that's safe for me. That level of knowledge tells me that you've got a waiter who takes pride in knowing his job, and does it to the best of his ability. You've got an absolute gem of a wait staff in general. I wasn't bothered, because I live very close by and can eat at home. Just know that I'll never set foot in there again. I'm not sure that anyone else would be too eager to go back either. I've been to steak houses that had more option.

Perfectly cooked pasta. "Everything is homemade," Angelo explained later. Smart and fairly well-priced wine list. We asked why the 2020 Carparzo Brunello di Montalcino was so low priced, and learned the wine has been priced the same since their father closed their Upper East Side location and the kids opened in Newark. "New York food at NJ prices," Angelo explained. "I've never had tiramisu I've liked better", husband told me. "I've never had flan Ive liked better" I told him. (It is coconut flan.) Great service.

But they didn't notify us about the charge for the soup and gave us the option to opt-out. Basically, they imposed an extra order of the soup on us without our permission. Then when we split the bill among our group, the staff gave us a nasty attitude with rolling eyes. I mean. How our group handled the bill and split the payments among our members is none of your fucking business. Save your money and avoid this at all costs.
