Exceptional date night. This was my third time here. The first two times were when they were recently opened. I am thinking they needed to work out kinks, and boy have they! We started with cocktails at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. I got the vanilla old fashion-delicious!!! My husband got a Beefeater gin and tonic. Appetizer was a salad special, arugula with grilled peaches and burrata. Fantastic! Dinner for me was ribeye medium rare, cooked to perfection with black garlic. If you haven't tried black garlic you are missing out! My husband got a NY strip medium rare and also perfectly cooked. We also got the table side banana foster. A real treat. The highlight of the night was the service. Lena was our server and is phenomenal! Attentive but not intrusive, knowledgeable about the entire menu, and best of all I never had to ask for a single thing, she anticipated our needs before we did! We will definitely be returning soon.

Another excellent meal at Steak 38! We really enjoy this place! If you like a more casual atmosphere you can sit at the bar. You can order the dinner menu there as well as the happy hour menu. Tonight we enjoyed an excellent dinner in the dining room. I had the ribeye and it was done to perfection!! Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their steaks. The filet is also amazingly tender! We splurged for bananas foster for the table for dessert. It was entertaining (the dish is prepared table side) and delicious! We have always had excellent service as well. The staff is attentive and professional without being overly interruptive. I always highly recommend this restaurant!!

Nolan was polite, pleasant, and very professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks with our Shrimp Cocktail and the best Scallops wrapped in Bacon that we've ever had. Also loved the Wedge Salad and Goat Cheese Salad served with complimentary bread loaf. We definitely will return soon to try their Prime Rib and Surf & Turf dinners next time. And get Nolan again.

Excellent! We will be returning soon! Our waitress Sara and the entire staff were fantastic! Love the ambiance.

Great meal and great service. Very loud near the bar and lighting is low. Still one of my favorite places

We went for happy hour and had the Wagyu beef, burger and calamari. Atmosphere is wonderful and the food was delicious.

First time and it won't be the last. Beautifully decorated , outstanding service and my fillet was cooked perfectly. Table-side prepared Ceasar salad was delish!

Everything was amazing. I booked through OpenTable and made a note that we were celebrating our anniversary. As soon as we checked in, the hostess wished us a Happy Anniversary and presented my wife with a red rose. Our table was covered in rose petals and small gold Happy Anniversary signs. The service was great, everyone that passed wished us a Happy Anniversary. Our food was delicious and we both had leftovers. My wife's ribeye was cooked to perfection 👌

I’m not even sure where to start. We got bruschetta, artichoke and spinach dip, and my wife got bacon wrapped scallops and all were amazing for starters. Then along came Trevor with what we’ll call the best Caesar salad in New Jersey. My wife and I ordered the Steak 38 filet for two…we ordered medium because we learned that’s how we like good steak lol….well this one was great!!!! Our server Rocco made time to take a picture for us while giving us excellent service throughout…..then back came Trevor with the bananas foster and OOOOOOH EMMMMMM GEEEEEEE!!!! This was the all around best experience we’ve had in a while a definite return trip is coming!!!!

We arrived at exactly 4 PM on December 30. Original seating was a booth closest to the bar area, which was packed and quite noisy. We asked for a quieter section, which was in side room with the large windows. We were the only party in the room for a while but that was fine. Service was SLOW...Cocktails Waited 20 minutes before two of the four cocktails arrived, then waited a long time before the other drinks arrived. Waitress apologized several times for the delay due to the bar being packed so early and a party of 12 having all arrived together. I must say the cocktails were delicious. (Speakeasy, Old Fashioned, Blood Orange Manhattan.) ...Appetizers: Diablo Calamari, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Fried Zucchini were good. However, only two of the three appetizers were served. Ultimately, after waiting quite a while the third appetizer arrived. ...Main Entrees: The most important event. All entrees arrived warm, not hot. Mashed potatoes room temperature. Filet steaks on the dry side. All entries including Lobster Ravioli looked as though they were left waiting far too long before being served. Lobster Bisque arrived COLD. UGH. ...Desserts. Bananas Forrester very good. Chocolate cake dry. ...Review: Service very polite but so slow and haphazard. (Two parties arriving after us had already left by the time our bill was presented.) Biggest disappointment was the entrees. My family reined me in so I would not complain while we were there, and said to just forget it. If I needed to complain then write a review, so this is it. I was so hoping for a family holiday five-star dining experience. That did not happen. One and done.
