Restaurants near Rutgers Gardens

The servers were attentive but not hovering. The food was amazing. Highly recommend this gem in New Brunswick

This is one of my favorite restaurants. If you want a good selection of oysters small or large this is place to go. I’m never disappointed coming here, the bartenders made our drinks to perfection, the waitress (Arianna) was so attentive and had such a positive personality that you felt she really enjoyed her job. As far as the menu there’s plenty of choices and there’s always the specials which is usually my go to. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night or friends get together.

Our first experience, and we wonder why it took us so long? They are the complete package, amazing Tomahawk Steak, sides, everything. They even have Eric LeGrand Bourbon. Had to taste it. Lots of Rutgers memorabilia. Paul was our server. We have never experienced such a complete server. His explanations were epic, clear and concise. He graciousness was off the charts. you MUST request him!

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.
