Best Restaurants for Groups in Sayreville

My wife and I don't make it out very often but having worked 15 years in the restaurant industry I cherish an incredible dining experience. TLDR: this was it. Lives up the hype. 10/10 would recommend. I don't only focus on the food, but the cocktail program, the servers menu knowledge, how the hostesses greet you, and the focus on ambiance and vibe as much as food. (As a side note, I'm not a snob, I just love this industry.) It's been a very long time since I've said this but I was blown away from start to finish. We showed up about 15 minutes early for our reservation, which for me is on time. At the time of our reservation, we were promptly sat. It took a few minutes to get the initial greeting, but I'll give a bit of leeway here because there wasn't an empty table in the establishment. Upon our servers intro, he grabbed us water and took our drink orders. My wife typically doesn't do cocktails , but the server had an answer for each question my wife had and she was pleasantly surprised by the La Granada Spritz. Not too sweet but still delicious. I did the Cantarito. I typically drink Pacifico, margaritas or tequila on the rocks but I was looking to have fun. Needless to say, I had two! As parents who don't get the chance to "date night" a lot, we knew we were going through all three courses. For apps, we did, street corn, Acapulco style ceviche and corn and roasted cherry tomato Gauc. Each with its own unique flavor profile, each delicious. For dinner we did steak and cheese tacos and barbacoa tacos. My barbacoa tacos were just the right amount of salty and tender. The server was kind enough to let me know the salsa arbol was spicy. Kudos to this call out as I love spicy but that's not everyone. For dessert we did tres leches and a Matador. I was leaning towards this cocktail but our server was quick to recommend it as well which made for an easy decision. The ambiance was fun, energetic and can't recommend this enough.

Matty was attentive, funny, kind and completely on point. We did not get the maitre d’s name but he was gracious as well! We decided to end the night at the bar and Josh and Jack (I think) were the absolute BOMB. The piece de reasistence Was. The. FOOD! For the table, oysters, lobster r dumplings, hot mess fries and calamari - omg, phenomenal. Brisket on the fries was a bit dull but still good. Then we individually had Filet Mignon & lobster, porter and lobster (not good, traded up for the filet) shrimp and scallops and salmon. We will be back once we recoup on the market what we spent last night but overall would do it again and again. Loved 🥂

Food was incredible. Our server was gem. I didn't get her name but she was so kind and attentive.

Incredible service, massive and delicious portions & delightful ambience. The restaurant was bustling but it felt as if you you stepped back in time with the playlist and menu offerings. Absolutely recommend for anyone traveling with family or friends!

My husband and I went and had lunch on New Year’s Day. My husband had the Leitao and I had the cabrito. Both were excellent!!
