Best Romantic Restaurants in New Brunswick

Outstanding menu, specials, desserts, and service! Wow, I went with the whole grilled branzino entree which is not my usual. But it was absolutely amazing. Kudos to the entire staff from the hosts and servers who provided excellent service.

Had another great experience. Food, drinks and service were all excellent. I had the veal porterhouse, which was perfectly cooked, that I definitely would order again. My wife totally enjoyed her burger. My son and daughter’s ribeye and filet were properly cooked to their desired temperatures. Our appetizers and side were delicious as was dessert. Our server and all of the staff that we interacted with were very courteous and friendly.

Had a great meal before a show at the State Theatre! The grilled oyster appetizer was delicious. My daughter had the duck and I had the duck confit gnocchi. Both were perfect!

Good friends recently moved to Somerset NJ, requiring us to come up with a place to dine ---what a find! Frog and Peach is perfect: great food, service and relaxed ambience. Tucked away in the middle of "Georgetown" type new condos, this oasis has an interesting, unusual menu -- including a seasonal price fix $78 that looks great -- right now, it was a "Southern" menu with hush puppies, BBQ etc that is not to our liking. Special appie Veggie Raviolo was terrific, as was the freshly baked bread on- site. Caccio e Pepe was ok, but could have been more "saucy" and peppery for me, and a bit less al dente. Duck was delicious. We realized that New Brunswick is only a short ride from Somerset and plan to return for their well-known brunch!

This was my first time visiting New Brunswick, NJ, and I love Italian cuisine. I am so happy I was able to get a reservation at Catherine Lombardi’s! From start to finish, the service and atmosphere was impeccable, and the food was delicious to boot! The server was attentive and knowledgeable. The owner stopped by our table to offer insight on the menu and to check in with our group. We enjoyed the food, drinks, and dessert. Too many flavor profiles to share in detail but there is not a bad dish at all and our group tried several. I want to return to New Brunswick just to go back to the restaurant. I highly recommend Catherine Lombardi’s.
