Best Live Music Restaurants in Washington Township

We initially went to Ocean Prime to celebrate my wife’s birthday with no expectation other than her choice for seafood. Based on past experience I didn’t have this restaurant as one of my favorites. However, our experience today changed my opinion of this restaurant. The hostess set the tone for us with the heart felt greeting. It was sincere and my wife felt it. As we set at the table our waiter “Joe” greeted us enthusiastically which again made us feel that much more welcome. He provided an extensive overview of the menu and specials with great accuracy. Joe showcased his knowledge by allowing us to provide input and then giving recommendations to best suit our taste buds. Since it was cold outside I opted for coffee. I wasn’t prepared for the coffee I tasted. I pride myself on a good cup of coffee but this coffee was amazing! I asked Joe the name of the coffee he stated it was local provider by the name of Hubbard and Cravens. I have never of it but will surely remember and find out the location. This is the closet to one of the top Jamaician coffee I have tasted in years. Next, bread was brought to the table that just as tasty as any bread I have in long time. The pretzel bread was my favorite. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. As an appetizer I ordered the lobster bisque soup. Without question one of the top soups that rivals the lobster bisque soup I tasted often while living in Massachusetts. For the main course I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass that included broccolini, Pearl Onions, Potato Purée, and Truffle Vinaigrette. Sides included Mac n cheese and sautéed spinach. By this time I was full to capacity but paced in anticipation of what was to come for the grand finale. While waiting for the main course I drunk a pot of coffee and asked for another one and more bread. Although I didn’t have much room left I managed to taste the goodness of the Chilean Bass meal. Utterly melting in your mouth.

Had the grilled romaine salad- yum. Had to pay for bread and it was just regular bread-nothing special like they used to have. I had my favorite lobster escargot. Excellent. Hubby had the tomato soup which was thick and tasty. He also had a pork chop cooked just right. Our server was Amber- who was on the ball and very entergetic and friendly! Don't forget the sugar cream pie!

We dined at Sullivan’s Steakhouse at 4:15 on 12/25/24. The wait was reasonable, despite the crowd. Once seated, our server, Joshua C., took very good care of us. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great suggestions & kept our drinks filled. We enjoyed delicious appetizers, salads & our main courses without ever feeling rushed so they could seat another table—and didn’t leave until around 7:30. We’d be happy to return anytime…especially for a holiday dinner. After trying Eddie Merlot’s last year for both Thanksgiving & Christmas—this experience was very much above & beyond! Unlike Merlot’s—they did not run out of popular appwtizers or mains. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely Christmas brunch at Vivante. Everything was perfect, the service, the atmosphere, and the food were top notch! We will be back!

Food was great and our server Lou was amazing! They accommodated us late after a concert and didn’t bat an eye! We’ll be back!
