By far one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had. As a business owner myself, I am not quick to give a negative review yet this place lost every opportunity to make things right. We called ahead after an event an NJPAC for an early dinner. We were quickly sat which was a good start. We ordered calamari as an appetizer. I can tell from the first bite that it wasn’t quality food or preparation. The crispy coating came off flaking and I had a hard time grabbing the rubbery calamari underneath with a fork. I ordered a ceasar chicken salad as it felt like a fairly safe option-I was wrong. Before the plate even hit my table I can see how hard the chicken pieces were. Clearly NOT freshly made and looks like it has been warmed up several times. We couldn’t get a waiter to even look our way for a long time much less ask us how the food was. We had to flag someone down and tell them. She told who I believe was the supervisor. No acknowledgement again for a good amount of time. One of our party ordered medium burger and it came overcooked and saturated in whatever sauce was in it. We felt hostage to the place as we wanted nothing more than to leave yet couldn’t get acknowledgement, resolution, a bill or ownership of this experience. The waitress ultimately came with our check. And guess what? It had “suggested gratuity” INCLUDED on our bill and credit card charge which we had to cancel out. It is unfortunate as this is a venue that is well positioned being close to NJPAC yet that days experience has puzzled all of us about the ratings and reviews thus far which is what we based our decision to go there on. I understand that an establishment has an off day or maybe a different chef. Total and complete disregard for the quality of food that comes out or the experience tells me a lot about management. It is often when things don’t go well that businesses have an opportunity to win over customers and create loyalty. There was ZERO ownership, effort or acknowledgment here hence my 1 star review.

Very disappointing experience. We ordered calamari, chicken Cesar salad and cheeseburger. The chicken was very stale and rubbery. It appears to have been rewarmed several times before serving. Order burger medium - came overcooked. The calamari was also very rubbery. I cannot understand how this restaurant has any more 2 stars honestly.

The paella was as super tasty as it was generous - I felt like I had kept eating it as it went on forever (which is important to me).. unfortunately no frond, but still an awesome dish.. my partner got a shrimp salad which was also quite generous . And I topped it all with a flan.. so decadent and good ! ! I plan on coming back here, especially if staying at RT again !

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a nice atmosphere, which is why we chose it for dinner before a concert at the Prudential Center. We had a group of six and came in on Friday night around 5 PM with a reservation. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. They advertise lamb right at the entrance, but when we asked for it, the server told us they didn’t have any. On top of that, a few other menu items we tried to order were also unavailable, which was frustrating. The menu looks extensive, but most of what we tried fell flat. The Caesar salad was probably the worst I’ve ever had.. the chicken was dry and flavorless. We ordered our steaks medium, but they came out almost well-done. Pasta and risotto were the only decent dishes, thankfully. For a place calling itself a steakhouse, the quality didn’t come close to expectations. Even the restroom felt like an afterthought as their toilet paper was not stocked inside the dispenser, just hanging outside, which was sloppy. Overall, despite the nice décor and convenient location, the food and service really missed the mark. Sadly, I wouldn’t come back.

Food was good. Well seasoned and fresh. Our server was kind and accommodating. There was a slight language barrier for us (no one in my party spoke Portuguese), but it all worked out. The music was the only thing off about the ambiance. The decor was steakhouse, but the music was diner/cafeteria. All in all, a great time.
