Likely the worst dining experience I've ever had. Granted, they were likely understaffed, but there…read moreare still a number of things that happened that were inexcusable. Firstly, we got seated and we ordered immediately. But for an hour we were left unattended. We got no garnishes, no sauces, no food while people around us were being attended to. They weren't waiting on our food, they just forgot about us completely. Half of the food we ordered that night was never served, either. When we asked for our first grill change, it took them 30 minutes to change the grill, us having to ask three different waiters. When we finally got it, our grill was dirty, with a large dust ball and oil stain on it. The worst thing was when I was trying to ask for water, but one of the staff just shushed me by putting a finger up and leaving. He never came back to the table. It took our table a half hour just to get WATER. There are a number of other things but these were the biggest red flags. Do better.

Nice casual restaurant with an open and large atmosphere. AYCE KBBQ or sushi or both options…read more The BBQ meat is decently fresh and the side dishes are solid. My only gripe is that the marinated meats are a bit on the sugary side so the hot plate ends up needing to be cleaned/replaced quicker. The service is kind and accommodating.

We all ordered steak, each cooked to a different preference--from medium rare to well done--and every single one was cooked perfectly, exactly as requested. The quality of the food and attention to detail truly stood out. Another big plus is that you can bring your own drinks, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time and really enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend!

An absolutely incredible dining experience from start to finish. What really sets this place apart…read moreis the feeling it gives you. It never feels like just dinner -- it feels like home. The ambiance is beautiful, the energy is warm, and everything about the experience feels elevated without feeling pretentious The appetizers set the tone perfectly -- the calamari, stone crab legs, and cold seafood tower were all fresh and delicious. The steaks are prime aged and cooked to perfection; I had the bone-in filet medium rare and it was butter-soft and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The sides were just as impressive -- crisp, well-seasoned asparagus, a rich and creamy lobster mac and cheese, and hash browns pounded thin and pan fried to a perfect crisp. For dessert, my server recommended the Grand Slam Cracker Gelato, a hidden gem I had never experienced before -- truly out of this world. Speaking of my server, Eden (yes, like the garden) was an absolute standout. From the moment he greeted us with a warm smile and bubbly energy, you could tell he genuinely loves what he does. He was attentive, outgoing, and made excellent recommendations throughout the meal. When I was torn between two wine options, he insisted I try both to make sure I was happy with my choice -- that kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. He went above and beyond in every sense, and I highly recommend asking for him by name on your next visit. I'm a regular here and every visit reminds me why. Hands down one of the best Italian food and steak in the Jersey area -- you simply can't beat it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

2/14/26: RP Prime Steak & Seafood was wonderful for Valentine's Day Dinner…read more The atmosphere was lovely with dimmed lighting. All the chandeliers were adorned with roses. We started out with Martinis- Passionfruit and Pear. Both were excellent. In fact, we couldn't figure out which one we like better. The passionfruit had a lot of bouncy personality, while the pear wasn't overly sweet, but very mellow. A basket of delicious sourdough and cranberry and walnut bread was brought to the table. Entrées consisted of Filet Mignon Medallions with Grilled Shrimp and Chicken Parmesan. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. Dessert was perfection! Yummy Chocolate Strawberries and Zabaglione. Overall service was great. Parking is all valet.

No plate went back with a single crumb left on it. Everyone raved. The shortribs with the sweet potato my GAWD so good and I am a short rib conossoir. The handmade pasta al dente as real Italians like it. My Mother said the eggplant tasted just like her Grandmothers and it truly was delicious. My husband the pickiest eater was very happy with his filet and loved the sauce and italian sausage. Carrot cake which is my favorite dessert in general was the best I have had. We shared desserts and all were exceptional. We are no strangers to fine dining and this restaurant did not disappoint. The staff was great, the service also great. We were greeted by one of the owners and welcomed us like family. We had a wonderful experience @ Bici and plan to return soon. Byob is a plus and the prices are extremely reasonable for this culinary experience. My photos dont do the presentation any justice but I will add.

We both didn't love the bacon Gorgonzola cheese spread on top, the Gorgonzola is way too over powering. The peanut butter semi freddo was divine and I favorite of mine back when Velo used to be in Nyack! Marcelo and the staff were nice, as always. My biggest disappointment was seeing every table get complimentary chocolate covered strawberries or a shot of some sort- but we got offered neither. I was - am - quite insulted. We went tonight as a Valentine's date and enjoyed ourselves but I'm pretty upset about that last bit. As if, we're not important enough...

The staff was just as delightful as the food. The young man who greeted us made sure to see that we were comfortable seated. Our waiter Kyle (i think) could not have been more attentive and the General Manager, Sal made us want to stay for dessert & coffee. He went out of his way to make us feel at home. We will definitely be back again and again.

My absolute favorite thing to get at either Shannon Rose location is the Cheddar Boxty! They can never take this off their menu - it's amazing!

Even though the restaurant was packed for the holiday, they seated us right on time, which immediately set the tone for a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious -- we had drinks, appetizers including the lobster gyro app , eggplant chips and salmon and tuna with avocado sashimi app were all divine! The porkchops for dinner along with sea bass were excellent , and cheesecake and backlava were filling and tasty. Every dish was incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was just as impressive: lovely décor, an energetic vibe, a large bar area, plenty of parking, and both indoor and outdoor seating. While the outdoor space looked great, the indoor ambiance really stood out and made the experience feel extra special. Service, food, and atmosphere were all top-notch. I can't wait to return!

I've been dining at your restaurant for approximately eight years, and last Friday evening was the…read morefirst time I've left feeling disappointed -- which is why I felt it was worth sharing. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and was genuinely surprised by the preparation. It's such a prime piece of fish, but the heavy onion and tomato topping completely overpowered it. Unfortunately, the onion was still raw, which made the dish even more difficult to enjoy. It felt like the quality of the fish was lost beneath the garnish. The scallops were similarly confusing. Pairing seared scallops with a version of eggplant parmesan didn't feel cohesive, and the flavors competed rather than complemented one another. As for the appetizers, they fell flat. The hamachi lacked brightness and flavor, and the ground tuna and salmon quenelles did not taste particularly fresh. I do want to emphasize that the service was excellent, as it always has been, and the restaurant remains beautiful, clean, and well maintained. That consistency is part of why I've been a loyal guest for so many years. I'm sharing this because I care about the restaurant and hope this was simply an off night. I look forward to returning and experiencing the level of quality I've come to expect. Tell the chef to really taste the food and not ever send anything that isn't up to par for the reputation that Varka has maintained for many many years

The chicken shish had a decent color, but was flavorless. Both entrees were not very large. Bit I think they build it so people will buy the lunch special and have an app as well. This entrees may have been the blandest Mediterranean food I've ever had. I don't like the cold. But the restaurant was like a furnace during the entirety of our lunch. I definitely will not return. But it is very clean. And I'm sure that what I consider bland entrees and an ultra heated restaurant are well tailored to the locals.
