The ambiance is warm, friendly, and inviting, perfect for a nice lunch or date night. This was my daughter's first fine dining experience, and she absolutely loved it. We started with the oysters and calamari. The calamari was light and crispy, cooked perfectly, and the grilled oysters were flavorful--especially with the garlic Parmesan. For our entrees, we had the seafood paella and penne vodka. The portions were a nice size, and the paella came with colossal shrimp that were so good. Everything was well-seasoned and satisfying. They also offer mocktails, which was a great touch. Overall, we spent about $120 on appetizers, mocktails, and entrees, and it was well worth it. No complaints at all--definitely a spot I'll be returning to. Great for a date night or a special outing.

The restaurant has high ceilings and all hard surfaces so the acoustics are very lively. Bartenders were preoccupied with their regulars, but they were friendly and attentive. Cocktails were pricey, but on the mark. Blondie had a margarita and said it was as good as I make. I had Hendricks up with olives. Nicely chilled glass and shaken to perfection. When our friends arrived we were seated in the front of the dining room along the windows. Acoustics a little better but I still had some trouble hearing my wife across the table. The wine list had a decent selection and even some good values mixed in with the typical 3X prices. We had a couple of bottles of Sancerre which arrived properly chilled and went well with our food. Oyster selection was very good. I let the chef pick some cold water varieties from PEI. The Bad Boys and Momma Mia were excellent. Briney, properly chilled and nice accoutrements. We also had calamari and zucchini which were perfectly fried. The bread was pretty good too. Worth noting. For entrees we had the Branzino (2), Sole and Halibut. They were served with a small portion of tasty potatoes and generous pile of sauteed spinach. All on the mark. Server was very attentive but not overbearing. Perfect pace. Bussers cleared plates timely. We had a nice relaxing and enjoyable evening. Solid dining experience. We will definitely return. Perhaps sit at the bar next time. The one pecular thing about the place is that you need to get on an elevator to go to the restrooms which are located in the basement. I would prefer to use the stairs but apparently, they are for staff only.

Not forgetting the cocktail, they infuse their own mezcal which is my favorite drink. I've only ordered the sea bass (which is good).

The service is always impeccable, they have specials, delicious cocktails and wine. Caesar salad, crab cake, lobster bisque and side of crab and leek risotto all delectable. I prefer the upstairs high top seating to the downstairs tables. Really nice to be by the window/in ambiance of the bar and oyster bar. I prefer here over Steakhouse 85 personally. Highly recommend making a reservation. It is a bit pricey but totally worth it!

It was a wide variety of seafood and it almost equivalent to being down the shore. Our server was phenomenal; she checked on us multiple times. This wasn't the best seafood boil I explored. The crabs weren't meaty enough and I did not enjoy the taste of the crawfish. If I ever return, I will most likely purchase mussels and clams. #seafoodboil #northbrunswicknj #snowcrab #crabslegs #shrimp #clams #blackmussels #grrenmussels #crawfish #choicecombo

The owner, Jose, made me feel at home in the restaurant and it was clear that's how he acts towards all his customers.

They have small "water misters" along the outside of their outdoor seating area and there were nice looking plants throughout. It was really comfortable in the shade and overall, a very pleasant experience! Thanks, Jose!

We had reservations and were immediately seated even though our full party wasn't there--which was appreciated. Richard was our server, and he was extremely pleasant and helpful. It is BYOB, and there is a liquor store right at the next corner, so very convenient. And there was a decent amount of free on street parking. We ordered some apps --entrees (some ordered seafood boil) others plated meals.. dessert as well. Everyone loved the flavored lemonade. Standouts for me where the crab fries--omg, every bit of a fry in this place was so delicious... from the plain, crab, and sweet potato. They were all prepared perfectly with the right amount of seasoning. My husband was very disappointed in his wings... it seems as though the recipe or chef changed since the last time we were here for the wings and the garlic noodles--they were both very underwhelming. My Canadian King salmon was perfectly medium which I appreciated.. not very seasoned, but I really liked the texture. Some of the party didn't really like how spicy their boil was and with not enough sauce--and their boils are pretty pricey, so that was a bit of a bummer. I heard good things about the dessert, specifically the key lime pie. They were very thoughtful in playing Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday for our birthday girl.. it was definitely the extended version lol.. but it was really cute. Love the music videos playing on the screen in the center of the room. Also a cute touch. Overall, there were some misses, but I believe the hits were spot on, hence my rating.. I would return to try the rest of the menu.

I visited Steakhouse 85 for the first time on Thursday, March 19th. We all know the food is fantastic, but what impressed me even more was the employees. When I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess, who had a big smile and bright eyes. She showed us to our table swiftly, and during our time there, her smile and warm welcome continued as she greeted other incoming diners. Our waiter appeared quickly with the first question would you like something to drink, water, etc. After the initial greeting, and now ready to take our order, he excitedly told us he had the pleasure of tasting most of the items he suggested. His excitement about the food he had the "pleasure of tasting" (his words) was apparent. Also, I had the pleasure of speaking to Monica, a manager at Steakhouse 85. She was kind, thoughtful, insightful, and well spoken. I could easily see why she holds that position and could have talked to her as I would a good friend. How a great manager like Monica gets those around them to react positively is by example; in other words, it's the ripple effect. It is easy to see that she is the type of person who, no matter what she does or where she goes in life, success will follow. Also, I want to say thank you to the owner and all the managers because hiring the right employees, from the cooks, busboys, and servers, is not an easy job in itself. The key to success is not just about the food; it's also the employees who add to the establishment's success! Great Job To All Of You! Kindness should never be taken for granted these days! Frances

Very elegant place with nice decor. Definitely a nice date night place. Had a reservation for dinner for 7 people and they were able to accommodate. This place has private rooms that would make for nice gatherings. The menu is not so expensive as you would think. I decided on the 16 ounce pork chip grilled med well. Just a little pink. 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.

Our order included the following: * Deep Fried Brie served with caramelized onions: $15.95 * (2) Soupe à l'oignon Gratinée - traditional onion soup: $14.95 * Jambe D'agneau Braisée - new zealand lamb shank braised in port wine reduction served over israeli couscous, carrots, mushrooms and onions: $36.95 * Steak au Poivre/au Poivre Vert - two 4 ounce medallions of filet mignon with black peppercorn rub: $39.95 * Pommes Frites (hand cut french fries) $8 This place has the casual look and feel of a Paris bistro, and I really like the vibe. You can sit at tables or the large bar, we chose the former. The service was very good, accommodating and friendly. The food was nicely executed. My lamb shank was tender and tasty. I sampled the steak and thought it was nicely cooked, loaded with flavor and also very tender. The brie was tasty, and didn't seem to heavy, which was surprising as it was deep fried. If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular here.
