Casa Giuseppe is a cozy Italian restaurant perfect for special occasions. As one reviewer noted, they offer a 'pre-fixe menu and little special touches like rose napkins' for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner. The ambiance is praised for being 'warm and welcoming' and 'cozy and inviting', and the food is consistently described as 'delicious' and 'fresh'. The exceptional service is also a highlight, making the experience feel 'like family'.

Steakhouse 85 is a 21st century rendition of the classic American Steakhouse. The menu at Steakhouse 85 is comprised of fresh and inspiring modern day interpretations of classic American cuisine, served alongside the traditional steakhouse classics we all know and love. The back bone of our menu is without a doubt our beef. Our mouth watering dry aged steaks are rubbed with a simple yet luscious combination of sea salt, black pepper and fresh herbs. They are seared on a 1200 degree cast iron grill and then broiled to your liking. Paired with a large classically designed bar, complete with savvy cocktails and a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, this steakhouse is sure to please.Wine Spectator Award of ExcellenceOfficial Steakhouse of Rutgers Athletics

    Excellent food. As it was Valentine's day it was quite crowded and while the wait staff was excellent, the wait between courses was exceptionally long no doubt due to how busy they were. Fortunately it was worth the wait as each course was delicious.

    This was our first visit to Steakhouse 85. We enjoyed the whole experience. The food, service, value and ambiance were top of the line. We were there on their Date Night. For $125 a couple, you get an appetizer, entree, desert and bottle of wine from their short list. The selections for Date Night gave us good choices and we chose things that we were going to order originally. I will definitely go back and highly recommend it!
