Best Restaurants for Birthdays in New Brunswick

We have been dining at fresco since it opened years ago. It is one of the places you go for special events or just a lovely dinner or lunch. Service is always professional, friendly, and timely. You are never rushed and the food is always prepared perfectly.

I found this place through Instagram. The owner chef was in the short reel and his presentation was eye catching. So I booked a reservation for Valentines Day dinner with my wife as early as I could. The welcome when we walked in was great, the owner was with the host and makes you feel special upon entry. The rose he gave me for my wife was a nice touch. The staff was attentive and everyone looks great! Shout out to Omar the captain who took care of me and my pregnant wife all night. He made sure we felt special, while we noticed his consistent service throughout the evening. The ambiance was special, loved the velvety blue tufted booth benches. The music was a whole vibe, felt like I was in all the old school Mobster movies with classics playing in the background. The food was amazing! When I say you can literally pick anything from the menu and be very pleased I mean it. Apps, main courses, chefs kiss. My wife and I have steak on a regular basis so we went with their Mixed Grill and the Yellowfin Tuna, amazing! I need to go back to try every dish. Don’t eat with your eyes, you will be stuffed but guess what, who cares it was all great for left overs the next day. Theyre doing it right, and from the experience, I only expect this guy to keep stepping it up because he takes pride in his craft. We will be returning, most definitely a spot for anniversaries and birthdays to come.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the Metuchen area. Service: Hostess and servers were welcoming and really provided great service. Even with the pressure of the Valentine’s Day crowd they kept their cool and really kept the operation moving and provided top service. We didn’t feel rushed but they were able to keep us sitting the 2 hr max time slot during for this holiday. Food and cocktails: Sooo delicious. There was nothing we ordered that wasn’t delicious and really well made. The cocktails were perfect. The right mix. Thank you for the great cooks and bartenders. Atmosphere: Super cool. Loved the artwork at the bar. They had entertainment that wasn’t overly loud but really drew our attention. Just a fun place to be on a Friday night. I’ll definitely be back and if you’re in the area you should check it out as well.

Always looking for a great dining experience. Frog and Peach always rated one of the best restaurants. Finally got there and it was everything I've always read about. What took me so long to get there?! You'll need to see for yourself- it's simply the best!
