    If I could give it less than a star I would. The food was awful. Ordered a medium steak and it came out looking like shoe leather. Asked the server to exchange and she came out saying the owner said this is medium because there was pink in the middle. The owner is a clown and so is anyone else who willingly decides to spend their money here. Go to the Pine Tarvern it's down the street.

    Oyster literally tasted from the sea really disgusting from like jersey bay... ive had better pizza frozen than this trash. I will never go here ever again, ever. Everyone on the table hated their meal. Highly recommend to stay away.

    I haven’t been to this restaurant in quite a long time. Last minute decided to go out and were able to make a reservation here. Seems as if they have done a bit of updating since I was here last, spruced it up a bit. Our server was so nice, also attentive. The food was good. When I ordered the ahi tuna medium, I wasn’t sure what I’d get but I got ahi tuna medium! And it was excellent. All three of us assaulted the dessert! The caramel crunch cake was dee-lish. I’d come back again. Had a very pleasant evening.

    My first visit and not a disappointment. I came here for my b day brunch the appetizers , food and drinks was delicious. The server was attentive and friendly. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time. The dining area was spacious and very clean. Prices were slightly above average. There is also outdoor seating in front of the restaurant. Check it out when you in area.

    I've been following sushi Chef John for about a decade with my friends. He never disappoints!

    We came here for mother's day. Firstly, The interior of the restaurant was really nice, that is something I definitely enjoyed. Further, the food is not really worth the price. I'd probably expect a little better quality in terms of food with these types of prices. However, the calamari was well done, especially with the spices. The service was eh. Although the guy was really nice, the coffee we received was cold, and we didn't receive a spoon to mix the milk and sugar. He also kept forgetting to give us other things like eating utensils and to-go boxes, that we previously asked for. I also requested tuna steak (medium rare) but it was kind of dry. Nevertheless, it is a nice looking place, with nice people, but I'd like to see higher food quality and more attentiveness.

    The menu is incredibly diverse and the sushi is fantastic! Ribs were an amazing sight to see and a huge & delicious portion for what you pay. The restaurant can often get noisy, so keep that in mind. Otherwise, the service was fantastic and I would love to return.

    Had a great evening dinner with my wife today. Our server was wonderful, professional and attentive. The food was excellent, I had the Endless Sushi available on Thursdays and my wife loved the Buffalo Shrimp and a Cobb Salad. A couple nice cocktails were the perfect compliment to this meal. Fully recommend for a fun spot with great food and service.

    Came here on a Saturday night, the weather was nice, so we sat outside. The ambience was wonderful There was great music, just right and not too loud for conversation. When it got a little chilly, a big fire pit was lit and patrons were encouraged to gather, talk, and drink wine. It was like being at an upscale barbecue with interesting neighbors. But the highlight was the food-awesome. We split a pitcher of sangria, which was full bodied (you could taste the brandy) and full of fresh fruit. Fried shrimp, calamari and peppers for starters, and then Ahi tuna with sushi rice and garlic green beans for the entree. I was knocked out! Combine this great food with thoughtful attentive service, and we had a great night. Felt a lot more special than Old Bridge, NJ.I would recommend to anyone, and will be back soon

    Have been here three times. First time the meal was amazing. We all had the short ribs. Second visit, my short ribs had a little too much fat for me. This time all three of us noticed the meat was fattier than in the past. Though I am local, I stayed away when they first opened because it always appeared so busy. The place got amazing hype because the parents of the kids that worked there posted about it literally all the time. I really wanted to love this local place, but I just don't. The food is average, service very sporadic. Idk where they go, but cannot always locate waitress when you need her. I'm not bashing the place, go give it a try. I just personally feel it's quite pricey for the value and the service is adequate at best. You may feel differently.

    We had such a good night at this location. The food was really good, burgers, oysters, and beers. The parking lot is huge, in the back. Gorgeous fireplace outside. It's a bit noise because of the bar, but overall great. Will return in the future.

    Super cool place that I didn’t even know existed. Our server (Anthony Z) was friendly, fast and just awesome. His food and drink recommendations were spot-on and not only will we be going back, but we’ll be asking for him!

    Polite staff and great food. I would have given it five stars, but I ordered my filet mignon medium rare, which came out medium to medium well. They did offer to cook another one, but I didn't want to wait.

    Had an amazing get together for a private event at Grillestone Old Bridge last night. All of the dishes were so delicious, I had to compliment the chef, Chris! And the servers who helped out, Anthony and Kelly, were so accommodating to our entire group including my 3 young kids. I don’t know how they were able to keep our drink orders straight but they were on point and so quick to refill when needed. If you need a place for a private party or even just to have a great dining experience, don’t hesitate to go here. I can’t wait to come back for a meal!

    My family got together to celebrate my dad on Father's Day. When we arrived I parked in the lot. I walked in and the restaurant was pretty nice. We sat at a booth and was served by Kelce. She was cool! I ordered the red wine because I didn't care for lemon drop martini. For my meal I got the honey hot chicken sandwich, and it was ok, just a little sweet. My family liked their meals. The bill was about $120 for the 4 of us. All in all we had a good experience.

    We went there to celebrate our great grandson's high school graduation. It was so noisy that it was difficult to have any kind of conversation. We just had burgers and fries. They were good but I would not go back there as it was not conducive to conversation. If you just want to sing and drink it would be a good place to go to.

    Sushi rolls, baked nachos (too big for two people as an app! That’s why it’s on the Shareables menu), filet mignon (super tender and cooked perfectly) with whipped potato, chicken & penne, and warm apple crisp for dessert (literally amazing). All the food and drinks were great! We were close enough to the bar area to hear the music, but it wasn’t overwhelming. Will be back!

    I have been here a handful of times as my nail spot, Luxe, is nearby. I have had their Honey Hot Nashville Chicken Sandwich which was okay, their nachos I will pass on, but their drinks! Their drinks are so good - I love their espresso martini. A tad pricey, but not bad once in awhile.

    Went here for lunch on a Saturday with my son. We had the slab bacon for the appetizer. I had pan seared salmon with creamed spinach and roasted potatoes, which was done to order and delicious. My son had the 18 Oz ribeye steak cooked to order. The atmosphere was nuce,it wasn't that busy, so getting a table at that time was easy. Julia was our server,and she was great. Nice outdoor area with a fire pit for cooler evenings. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a little pricey, but it was worth it.

    Went for dinner today. Atmosphere was great but the food was not as we expected. Their menu seems really good but chefs are not good at what they do. We did the prix fixed menu- everything was super salty. Overpowering taste of salt, the ceasar salad was drenched in dressing, burrata was pretty good, but the mushroom ravioli- beyond disgusting. Just really salty. My husband liked his rack of lamb but to be honest really unhealthy and I haven’t felt good since dinner. I normally don’t write reviews but I am writing one in hopes that management will see this and hire good, qualified cooks. I would definitely revisit again if the chefs changed. We ordered a well done burger for my son and he got a medium rare so I had to send it back. Staff was great though. It’s not right when it affects people’s health and the chefs need to be trained properly or just hire better ones. For a $100 dinner, we were truly disappointed.

    Anything I've eaten here has been fantastic. Between the beet salad, short rib, burger, apps and specials, all have been super! The wait staff is nice but not responsive and are very slow. Ask for a water or a refill of water and it will take an hour. Get a new drink, it will be faster, maybe 35-45 mins. The entertainment / live bands they have are usually good. The restaurant unfortunately plays music while they have a band, with the sounds competing, which is extremely annoying. They need to turn off their internal radio/sound system. I dropped a star from Atmosphere for that.

    The service was good. My entree that I ordered was very good as well. I liked how they sautéed the mushrooms!
