Best Restaurants for Birthdays in South River

The best steakhouse in NJ and none other comes even a close second in comparison. The Boss in his RED Steakhouse 85 logo shirt, the staff simply amazing. Went with two kids and 6 adults and they treated us with so much patience with my allergies to seafood and my wife being a person who does not eat read meat ( go figure). The food you ask? OMG the bacon, the Calamari ( wife and friends who had it) and the Shrimp ( wife told me) just delicious and cooked to perfection along with the 40 Oz porterhouse ( medium) and my wife’s Veg Risotto layered with Cilantro Shrimp. Fabulassimo. Have lost count how many times I have been there but if you are in NJ, heck if are in NYC, this is where you should be coming if you like the Tomahawk, the Ribeye and baby the Porterhouse. Give you 400 out of 100. ❤️🎉🤗🎈🎂🥃👏🦌🎅 merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New 2025 to the staff and personnel of Steakhouse 85.

Luca’s is always a positively delicious and pleasant dining experience

There was a group consisting of eight of us ,we were celebrating my brothers 57th birthday.. everything from the time we walked in till the time we left was EXCELLENT . They joined in with the celebration by taking a Polaroid picture with a NEON sign saying happy birthday from Labebe..after your meal they give you a little scoop of la mini lemon ice to clean your pallet… they also gave my brother a little gift for the next time when he comes ..a gift card for a dessert.. I will definitely be going back SOON 

We’ve loved the food, the atmosphere and the overall experience every time we’ve dined at Meximodo! The Street Corn app is a must try! I love that it’s served off the cob, with all the trimmings and ready for you to scoop up all the goodness. I’ve had the pollo con mole, the enchiladas with steak and the shrimp tacos the various times we’ve dined here and they’ve all been phenomenal! Always have to finish off with an order of churros! I haven’t gotten a chance to attend a tasting event YET, but I sent friends to one, and they had such a great time! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great - it’s vibrant, lively and decorated superbly! The tequila wall, with some tequilas only reachable by the accompanying library-ladder, is a great focal point and really brings together the whole place. Be prepared for this place to be BUSY on any given night and deff make a reservation even if you think you won’t need it. We just so happened to be celebrating two different birthdays the past two Tuesdays and I was deff glad I made those reservations because we would’ve been waiting a tad. If I had one minor suggestion/comment (not complaint, per se) it would be to consider smaller dinnerware and serveware or bigger tables because as beautiful as the stoneware flat plates are they exceed the footprint of the table when you’re served dinner and still got apps you’re working on, at least at the 4-tops. You end up being a bit busy playing Tetris to try and make everything fit comfortably.

LouCás is dependable Italian restaurant. The food is consistently good and the potions are generous.The service was good with attentive waitstaff.
