Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in East Brunswick

We were greeted by the host when we arrived in a very friendly manner he acknowledged that it was our anniversary and that we wanted a private table away from everyone else which was given to us. Our waiter was very good and attentive. I thought the prices were a bit high. The onion soup was underwhelming tasted kind of bland. The mixed vegetables were closer to raw than they were till al dente other than that the meal was excellent nice big helping of potatoes in large portions of the meat that would be enough for my dinner tonight and my lunch tomorrow and probably even a little left over after that the salad was a standard salad with blue cheese, and it was an additional charge for the salad the onion straws were excellent. Service moved along it just the right pace. We were too full to order dessert. The only thing that I did not like is that if you wanted to use a charge card or debit card, there was a 3% charge to do so I think it’s a great place for special occasions. It was a bit noisy in the dining room, even though it wasn’t that crowded I could hear all the people Speaking in their conversations, even though we were in a back corner by ourselves. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend it for anyone celebrating something special. Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy and abundant.

Just a lovely evening to top off the holiday season this Thursday after New Years. The decorations were still up, the fire place cozy, the ambience lovely and quiet after the busy holiday. New Brunswick is a great little City.

Excellent service by Melvin. We were intrigued by some of the specials but find hard to deviate from the date night menu, which is an excellent value with a lot of choices. We shared the honey crisp salad to start. This is split in the kitchen and that makes a difference. The half portion is large with the cheese and pecans is wonderful. We also ordered the calamari, which is delicious but took most of it home as the portion is huge. Entrees were the king salmon, which was expertly prepared, and the filet mignon. There is an up charge but again the portion is large and also came home! We shared the apple tart for dessert which came with ice cream but took the other home. So many different tastes…a really nice evening.

The food and service were excellent. My only disappointment was that they tried to give us a table downstairs, when I reserved the main dining room. We ended up at a table with our back to the front aisle-heavy traffic area. I made this reservation on 11/16/24, so there was no excuse for this inconvenience. Because the overall dining experience was so good, I will definitely be back !

Good spot for brunch in New Brunswick - service was great: attentive but allowed us to sit and visit without chasing us out. Creative menu. Recommend the smoked salmon starter and the duck (which I got topped on the kale salad) was yummy.
