Excellent venue, food was fantastic. We did the Friday night date night for 2. I had the pork chop and the wife had the filet mignon.

We went to a special dinner with Food pairings with various Michael's products to taste. Excellent food and service with special dishes not on the regular menu. We started with Blue Crab Hush Puppies paired with Michener's Rye. The second course was aCRAWFISH & Chorizo Gumbo paired with Kentucky straight Bourbon. The third course was BBQ brisket Dumplings with a fried Green tomato paired with a sour mash. The next course was braised pork paired with Shenks limited edition sour mash. We finished with peanut butter cookies with banana gelato and a bacon marmalade paired Bombergers 108 proof Bourbon. All food and bourbons had discussion and information about how the pairings were made. This was done by Brian the head chef and JO the Michener's representative

Jessica was our server and she was amazing! Timing was perfect she was so funny and really just a pleasure overall. Matty was also great and the food was fantastic. Loved it all top to bottom! Oh and the fig bread pudding was INCREDIBLE

Happy Mother's Day! Graduation Class of 2024! I have had this steakhouse bookmarked for a long time. Interior has that old school vibe. Since my son is a huge steak lover, I chose this restaurant. My very first steak experience was when I was 9. I was having a sleepover at my cousin's house. My uncle who was a chef came home from a shift at a restaurant. As tired as he was he asked what I wanted to eat. I shrugged my shoulders and he said, l know what to make for you...steak. As I cut into it I see how pink it was, the juice which kind of looked like blood to me at the time seeped into the white rice. As I take my first bite, my eyes widened with delight. It was so buttery delicious. My uncle's eyes beamed with pride. It's a fond memory I have of him. My son's favorite is the Ribeye, Porterhouse and Prime Rib but he goes with the Delmonico cooked rare. He now says this is his favorite. I ordered their seared scallops that was served on a bed of rhubarb. I'm big on veggies so I enjoyed the rhubarb. For me, the winning dish of the night goes to their Banana Chocolate Bread Pudding. And I 'm not even a huge dessert person. Other mentions goes to their meatball app, sautéed spinach, and sautéed mushroom. YUM to the NINTH DEGREE!!!! Thank you Steakhouse 85 & Staff for your classy hospitality. You made our double celebration extra special.

If you love steak, this is the place to go but make reservations as it is crowded . They had live music on a Saturday night . Everything is ala crarte and pricey but delicious flavors await . The lobster bisque was creamy and had a rich flavor (could have used a bit more lobster )but it did have a small amount of lobster pieces . The steak was seasoned well and the petite filet was perfectly cooked and accompanied on plate with a slice of tomato . The delmonico was a bit tougher so stick with the filet The apple pecan salad was flavorful and all of the sides including lobster macaroni and cheese and onion rings, fries, and burrata were tasty The shrimp cocktail had tjeee huge shrimp pieces . We did not have room for dessert but it looked good the bar service was slow yet it was crowded

Came here for a surprise party and restaurant, food and service were all very good. Decorated very nice inside, it had a lot of Rutgers memorabilia which is pretty cool. Room we were in was also very nice. The food was very good. Had a salad and mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto appetizers and both were excellent. For the main course I had crab cakes which were very nice. Sides of mashed potato and sautéed broccoli were served family style and both were nice compliments to the meal. For dessert I had the creme brûlée which was good. Service was excellent. My glass was never allowed to get empty and the food was served promptly with nothing feeling rushed. Not a complaint here. Parking is tough outside but there is a parking lot across the street. Convenient and only $10. If your in the area looking for a steakhouse this is a good option.

I brought my husband here for his birthday. We got a nice corner booth in the back. The restaurant was spacious and dimly lit. It set the mood for a nice romantic dinner. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our dinner was great! We enjoyed everything we tried. It is pricey but worth it. I had the filet mignon with seared foie gras. It was perfect! The sides were served family style, it was plenty of food for two people. My husband really enjoyed his steak. We would definitely return.

I came here for my birthday a few days ago with some friends and we had a nice booth in the back. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu but the service was OK. It got a little bit slow at times. I ordered the tomahawk shop and it was very tender and good. A little bit fatty but very good portion. I wanted the shrimp cocktail but the waiter forgot it. Everything was great besides that. I will definitely come back and try some of the other cuts
