Bougie steakhouses usually do the trick, so we called around to a few nearby ones on our way back and Roots was thankfully open. Off we went down the PA Turnpike and ultimately into Summit. I have a passing familiarity with Roots; I knew a co-worker years ago who was really into it (not sure if it was this location or the Morristown one) but this was a first visit for both of us. Summit is not always the best to drive around in on a weekend but thankfully most people seemed to be down the shore and we were able to easily secure parking on the street less than a block away. Liked the vibes immediately. My favorite kind of steakhouse is an old school one, where you can feel the history and envision someone like Boss Tweed having a stogie in the back or something. Roots isn't old school but it definitely feels like it with the dark wood paneling (very impressed by the bar area in that regard as well). There were a few other patrons in there but we probably didn't need to make the reservation on the way over - we were seated in a cozy booth right off the bar and made ourselves at home. It WAS a little annoying to trek down a staircase to a shared restroom with the rest of the building; not sure they can do anything about that at this point though. The service was exquisite; top notch all the way around. Our waitress was very friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu. One moment we both liked a lot? My chum was mulling over an expensive bottle of wine and the waitress recommended a cheaper one, based on the items we were ordering. Didn't have to do that, and those little gestures go a long way for me. She also had specific recommendations based on her palate and other customer experiences, and cited the special that day, which was a hybrid filet mignon ribeye situation, and the cowboy steak off the regular menu. We ordered each (I went with the latter) so the salesmanship worked here in droves. I was hardcore eyeing the Petite Main Lobster Bites to split but my chum wanted the Shrimp Cocktail so I ended up eating this by myself for the most part. This was AWESOME. It came in the same type of dish that escargot come in (I'm sure there's a very sophisticated culinary name for it) so it was kind of easy and hard to scoop out, if that makes sense. But heavenly - my favorite part by far. So flavorful and delicious. The sides were hit and miss. We got the potatoes au gratin on the recommend of the waitress, who said Roots was known for it. That was really good too, and held up well the next day for leftovers. The Brussels sprouts were not great - they were significantly undercooked and almost hard/raw in the middle despite decent flavoring that seemed almost Asian from the tanginess. For what we were paying, you shouldn't have this big of an issue with one of the menu items. The steak was decent. The Cowboy was a little overcooked (I requested medium rare) but a very solid portion - I think one of the bigger ones on the menu - and the seasoning on it was pretty tasty. Not a mind-blowing cut but wasn't bad. This wasn't bad by any stretch, but when you have the aggressive price points of a high-end steakhouse, you should be graded on a tougher curve. To me, the quality (service excluding) didn't ultimately reach the level the cost demanded. Would have zero issue coming back for that lobster app, but I'd be reluctant to go for a full throttle meal again.

Prime 94 SteakHouse is a great neighborhood steakhouse…read more I'm attending a conference for the week, just passing thru New Jersey. My coworkers are content with eating Five Guys for dinner, I'm craving a glass of Caymus and a good steak. After some research, I came across Prime 94 SteakHouse and Grill. Walking in, the large neighborhood bar is to the left and the dining rooms are to the right. I'm solo so I'm escorted to a small, corner two top table. The waiter starts telling me about the specials. After he was finished, I told him a want a 16oz Ribeye and a glass of Caymus. No bread basked needed. Also, can you throw on one or two long hots? Yes sir! Now this is what I would eat at home. I'd buy a nice steak with a good glass of wine. Did I just describe my last meal before I head up to the pearly gates? Yeah.. Prime 94 SteakHouse makes a good steak. The cook was perfect, it was a little fatty but that's the flavor! The french fries are something similar to a diner fry, they were really good as well. I took a piece of steak, a small slice of the long hot, mmm mm! Prime 94 SteakHouse isn't a fancy steakhouse. There was a large table in front of me, I'm assuming it was grandma and her sisters along with a family of four. The aunts were asking, I'm assuming an 19 year old girl about her college, she was giving one word answers. Prime 94 SteakHouse, it's a neighborhood spot that's serving up some good food. If I lived here, this restaurant would be in my dining rotation.

Impeccable service, delicious food, and a lovely, cozy setting. Many restaurants do not do restaurant week well. They bring out a menu that is not representative of what they serve regularly. Hudson Prime was wonderful. We had a filet, and skirt steak, salad and delicious meatballs for appetizers, and chocolate lava cake and creme brulee for dessert. We ordered an additional appetizer, the crispy Brussels sprouts with bacon and Gorgonzola. These were particularly excellent. Our waiter had them prepared extra crisp, which is great because there is nothing worse than biting into a raw Brussels sprout. They are popular and everyone tries them but they do not do them properly. Hudson Prime was exceptional in every way. We will be back. I wonder if they have bar bites? I wish they were open for lunch too.

For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I were in the mood for a…read morebougie sit-down dinner this past Saturday night and decided to try out Ocean Prime; we've had a few underwhelming dining experiences in Cranford, so we were hoping to break the streak. I'd say we were successful in that regard, and this is probably one of the top two places I've been now in town, along with Garlic Rose. Even if you didn't have access to the menu, this just LOOKS like an upper-class steakhouse - lots of darker interior colors with deliberate use of lighting almost like the aisles in a movie theater. We did the responsible thing and made 6:30pm reservations, though the restaurant was relatively empty when we first got there (it filled up for sure during our dinner). We were immediately seated and attended to, which was a pleasant recurring theme for our experience. On the booze front, we each got an Old Fashioned, which was specifically cited on the cocktail menu, and a bottle of Daou Cab Sauvignon to share (I let my chum take the lead on that selection, which I think was influenced by the strong reviews on the Vivino app - a recommend if you're into that sort of thing). The Old-Fashioned was decent; I'm always pleased when the de facto bourbon is Angel's Envy. I'm not crazy about vermouth, which I always think gives off shoe leather vibes, but I did like the smoky profile on this one. Not bad at all, but I liked the bottle of wine better. We decided to split the Grilled Octopus app, which came with seasoned potatoes, olives and tomatoes. This was arguably the weakest part of the meal. The octopus was a little tough/rubbery and the accompanying potatoes to me were very much needed and better, frankly, than the designated star of the show here. I'm not an olive person but my chum's comment there was they were too overwhelming, taste-wise. Noted. We also got a side of parmesan truffle garlic steak fries, which I didn't have too many of because I was distracted by all of the other options on the table, but would totally get again. For entrees, it felt morally proper to hit up the cattle (when in Rome). I went with the Braised Short Ribs, which is one of my go-tos if it's on the menu. Pretty good - VERY tender and literally falling off the bone. I'd say about 20% of it was too fatty for me, and I pawned that section off on my chum, but the other 80% was primo. She got the Filet Mignon Oscar style (which my computer wanted to autocorrect to Oscars, thinking it was the umpteenth time I was typing something about the Academy Awards), and was very pleased by it. Not mindblowingly amazing but solidly above average across the board. I'm not sure why we ordered dessert at this point other than to ensure I had something else to munch on the following day, but we did that too. I got the Cheesecake w/ Marionberry Compote. This was just okay for me. Taste-wise, the cheesecake seemed a little off for my palate; maybe a little too tart? It didn't seem as milky as other cheesecakes, which doesn't necessarily mean it was bad, but wasn't my kind of cheesecake. The compote was also just okay, both in the moment and as a leftover the following day. Maybe I'm just used to getting this dessert with strawberries and compotes that are similar to that type of fruit, but I just didn't think the compote and cake meshed as well. Debatable though. There's room for improvement but this is a strong entry in the Cranford gastro scene, such as it is.
