Best Hot Spot Restaurants in New Brunswick

We had a very good time at Barrel & Roost. Food was very good. My husband’s swordfish was cooked to perfection. And he is very cautious about eating fish out. Our server Samantha was excellent. Very accommodating and always checking on us. Kudos to you Sam!

We drove an hour away from Philly to try this restaurant on Christmas Eve and it did not disappoint in any way. The atmosphere on the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and the staff are all very attentive and genuine. We started with drinks which there is a WIDE selection of. I ordered the daiquiri martini and it was one of the best martinis I’ve ordered at a restaurant. Not overly sweet, strong but not straight liquor, and great flavor. We ordered spicy scallop, spicy crab and spicy tuna tacos as an appetizer and it was my absolute favorite thing on the menu. I am a big sushi/seafood person and devoured these. For another appetizers, we ordered the prime rib waffle cone tower which was aesthetically unique and SO TASTY. Such a fun choice and not just for show, the flavor was even better than the display. Lastly we ordered the roasted bone marrow which we ate some of on the crostini and left some of it to eat with our steak. I loved the lemon zest on top and there was so much bone marrow to use. I’ve ordered this at other restaurants that charge a ton of money for a tsp worth of food and here they served us two massive bones with at least 4-5 tablespoons or more of bone marrow. For dinner, we ordered the porterhouse special for 2. The flavor was phenomenal, it was cooked perfectly and it was massive. Enough for two AND l leftovers. Tasted amazing with the bone marrow on top. We ordered the berry crème brûlée for dessert and we were also given a complementary shot that tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The crème brûlée was unique and my boyfriend was a huge fan of the flavor/texture of it. They handed out a gift card at the end for Christmas as well. Overall such a great experience and I’m so glad we made the trip out to try it out. We will definitely be back.

This is an excellent restaurant. Quality steaks, prepared right. Apps and sides are also good. I particularly like the service here, attentive but not overwhelming. They also make decent cocktails.

It was a fantastic experience. It was our first time at your special restaurant and it was magical. So happy we finally made and during the holidays made it even more amazing. Owners were so gracious. Thank you for a memorable evening!!Food, ambience and service, impeccable.

Cydz is a gem! I hade the grilled oysters. They were absolutely delicious. The staff is amazing. the service prompt and accurate. The wine by the glass offering, is decent, but could use more depth.
