Way overpriced for quality. Rod’s is charging NYC steakhouse prices and the steaks don’t live up to hype

It is always a great experience at The Highlawn. I have enjoyed every meal I have eaten there. It is the perfect place for date night or a business meal with important clients. The Highlawn is one of my favorite places to wine, dine, and entertain in north New Jersey.

Started with octopus and then had some Branzino. I’m not even big on seafood, but the manager recommended it and I trust his taste after previous recommendations. That was the best fish I’ve ever tasted. I don’t think there is a dish in this place that I wouldn’t enjoy.
