There was no wait time when we got there and were able to be seated immediately. There were a mix of families as well as couples seated throughout the dining area. It wasn't too busy but also felt crowded sitting so close to a large party. The menu is pretty straightforward with a variety of food dishes. I ordered the beef and ginger potstickers as an appetizer and the rainbow trout with mashed potatoes and broccoli for my entree. I was offered different sauce options for the trout even though the menu only listed lemon butter, so I already had my mind prepared for that. I didn't expect the sauce to be served on the side, and because it was, it made the trout look extremely dry. After tasting, it was indeed dry. The broccoli was just plain broccoli, nothing special to report. The potstickers wrapping was harder than I expected, like a hard shell; however, the overall flavor profile was not horrible. I guess I shouldn't have assumed the potstickers were going to be boiled or steamed with a soft texture. The beer tap was completely empty. There were absolutely no draft beers on this Saturday evening, so I ordered the dragonfruit margarita which was actually very good. Highlight of our visit was being greeted by the manager, Vanessa, near the entrance. She also stopped by our table to ensure our needs were met.

Our waiter (very friendly brazilian guy) was top notch from start to end, always on top of the table (party of 4) to make sure we were good with drinks, that food was good and up to standards and nothing was missing, and always with a smile and a positive attitude. We had queso fundido and guac to start which was pretty addictive (we had 2 baskets of chips). After we had fajitas, chicken quesadillas and beef enchiladas. We all ate and still were able to take some home. Very flavorful and seasoned food, great portions and very price friendly. We had such a great time and will definitely be back soon for more, what a wonderful evening!

Jose Tejas is one of those places that proves a busy restaurant is usually busy for a reason…read more The portions are huge, the drinks are strong, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for how much food you get. We sat at the bar, ordered way too much for two people, and enjoyed every bit of it. The empanadas, which are clearly a crowd favorite, absolutely delivered, and I loved that there were vegetarian options not just for those but across the menu more broadly. That made a big difference. Yes, it's crowded, and yes, you should think about reserving before you go, but the wait is worth it. The staff was also really helpful and kept things moving despite how packed the place was. If you're in Iselin, Jose Tejas is an easy recommendation.

Great experience! Huge interior, super clean, modern fixtures and upscale decor, definitely the…read morespot for a date night but casual enough for a group of friends. Our server, Kelly, was super kind, friendly, attentive and accommodating throughout. We ordered a range of items, including the penne pasta, miso soup, rainbow roll, Picasso roll, avocado egg roll, chicken satay, carrot cake, and chocolate cake. Everything tasted great, fresh, and indulgent. The beers were delicious but the Kona margarita tasted a bit weird so maybe I got a bad batch. The prices are a bit steep so I marked this a 4, but the ambiance, service, and quality of food somewhat make up for the markup. Highly recommended! Can't wait to come back for happy hour!

But 15$ for over salted edamame, they asked how we wanted our burger cooked but with a hockey puck burger I asked for medium and it came back well done. Don't ask how you want it cooked and then not cook it the right or even be able to cook to the right way since it's not a thick burger like we hoped it would be !!! Never coming back here ever again and people should think twice as well. It took like close to ten minute to being two warm waters , never had out regular waters refilled either .

Her attitude was so nasty, according to her she had to charge us for the green teas because she felt like we did not tip her well. She did not even let me finish giving her the tip money and became upset with the singles we had. Don't trust these bartenders. It's the principal behind it. Don't say it is on the house and then charge us for it. I can easily afford 3 green teas, but don't be petty about the situation. First and last time going to this bar. Update: Now Nick the business owner is denying this is "not his business" Please, don't be ridiculous! How do I know the live band there was playing Sway by Dean Martin last night?

Nestled in downtown Woodbridge NJ, this steakhouse is located inside of an old bank! I already knew before entering it was gonna be beautiful! We were greeted by the hostess and owner of the restaurant. They immediately said happy anniversary to us and escorted us upstairs to our table. As i thought this restaurant is stunning. Sexy dim lighting, beautiful chandelier and candelabras adorned the bigger tables. The space is huge. High ceilings and even an elevator. I couldnt resist snapping pics of the aged meat behind the glass. Every detail in this restaurant is intentional. Our waitress Danya was the sweetest!!!! She was so attentive and took time to explain the menu. She checked on us the entire evening. She didnt miss a beat. Even saw that my fork had some dishwashing spots and went to get me another. For the food, we started with fried calamari and crabcakes which were both outstanding! We ordered cocktails which was old fashioned and a bay breeze made perfectly. The main course is the reason u come here! We ordered the porterhouse for two with the truffle mac and Brussels sprouts. Steak has a really nice flavor! I didnt like the truffle mac but the brussel sprouts were delicious!! We were def full but our wonder waitress insisted on a celebratory ice cream with a sparkling candle. It was very nice! Before we left the owner came up to ask how everything was. He was a cool guy and told us a bit about the restaurant and his future expansion happening! I love that he said he use to come to the bank with his parents as a kid and now he owns a restaurant in the space....full circle moment. We truly enjoyed our time here! Thank u for making our Anniversary dinner so special. We will for sure be returning. I have to try the snapper next time!!!

For the appetizer I had class casino...now dont judge me but I am not the person that likes bacon on everything so I didn't feel that it needed the bacon, but it was good either way. For my entree I had the ribeye, garlic mashed, and sautéed broccoli. My favorite thing was the broccoli...I just love my veggies! But the potatoes also amazing. Now for a steakhouse yhe steak wasnt the best. I tried to add some salt to bring out the flavor a bit, but it was just bland...the cooking temp was good just the flavor was missing. I would go back just to see if the other dishes are better.
