Welcome to New Jersey's Legendary Steak House

Best dinner we’ve ever had in NJ! From the food all the down to the ambiance, it was incredible! We absolutely loved being seated in the old train cart; it felt so romantic! We went for Valentine’s Day and had a prix fixe menu. For the appetizers, we had the The Grille’s Signature Crab Bisque and Caprese. Entrees, we had the Chateaubriand Bouquetiere and Rod’s New York Prime Sirloin Steak. For dessert, we both chose the cheesecake. We will be back!

We were met by very courteous hosts. The seating was comfortable. Music was fitting for the setting. It was our first time visiting and we’re pleasantly surprised. The weight staff was good. The menu selections for the special occasion or excellent, although it would have been nice to have a little bit more in terms of choices. The only thing lacking in my opinion would have been the level of seasoning for both of our dishes. While they were very good, they could’ve been even better with a livelier seasoning selection. All in all it was a great experience.

Beautiful restaurant that has that traditional steakhouse feel. Impressive bar and great upstairs seating area with impressive chandelier is the perfect environment to eat a beautiful steak. The steaks are well seasoned and prepared (had the blackened Delmonico). Would recommend this restaurant if ever in the area.

The train car is beautiful but it’s freezing. Also wish the menu had more variety. The lobster penne pasta was removed but it’s a great option for pescatarians.

Server was awful. They gave our reserved table away and we ended up sitting at a much larger table than needed for 2 people.
