Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Monmouth Junction

Zinna’s Bistro is our number one choice for a gourmet meal. Connor provided outstanding service and the new menu is excellent. We had a party of 8 and every selection was prepared exceptionally. My favorite appetizer is the long stem artichokes. The short ribs were fantastic. Scallops done perfect. Our party also had the grouper, and lobster bisque among other dishes. The entire meal was outstanding!!

Ruth’s Chris handled the Valentine’s Day crowd very well. They were about 30-45 min behind on reservations so we sat at the bar and waited for our table. The bartender was great and the All Star Weekend activities were playing on the TV. Once our table was ready, the great service continued with Jim. The food was delicious and the cocktails were also great, made the wait worth it. Will definitely return to this location on a non holiday evening.

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.

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!
