Restaurants near Meadowlands River Inn

What a wonderful dining experience! We arrived slightly early for our 7pm reservation, and waited no time at all to be led to our table, tucked away in the corner of the main dining room. The space was bustling and energetic. Our servers were exceptionally attentive, and our meal was well-paced. We ordered the Wagyu Carpaccio as a starter. I'd travel to New York City again and again for that perfect melt-in-your mouth dish. I'll think about the horseradish sauce for months to come. My husband got the branzino, which was light and healthy, though he thought it could use an addition of a sauce or salsa to brighten it up. I had the Boeuf Borgugnon that was out-of-this world delicious—fork tender on a bed of roasted vegetables and creamy potato puree, with a sauce that had complex depth of flavor. We were celebrating birthdays, and when our server brought Basque cheesecake for dessert, it was topped with a candle and a chocolate candy happy birthday message. Looking forward to another visit soon!

We went to eat breakfast. The food was delicious. My family enjoyed the food.

Busy Valentine’s Day diner time so a bit of wait at the beginning but it was ok . It was our first time at red lobster and honestly impressed . Service great , restaurant comfortable nice and clean , food great , drinks could be better but it was fine ! The value is also good so I think we will be back .

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

Service outstanding with very good food. Still one of the best places to dine. Thumbs up!!
