Steakhouse 85 is a 21st century rendition of the classic American Steakhouse. The menu at Steakhouse 85 is comprised of fresh and inspiring modern day interpretations of classic American cuisine, served alongside the traditional steakhouse classics we all know and love. The back bone of our menu is without a doubt our beef. Our mouth watering dry aged steaks are rubbed with a simple yet luscious combination of sea salt, black pepper and fresh herbs. They are seared on a 1200 degree cast iron grill and then broiled to your liking. Paired with a large classically designed bar, complete with savvy cocktails and a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, this steakhouse is sure to please.

    The Halibut special with roasted cauliflower was awesome. My wife and daughter both ordered the petit filet, and they were broiled to perfection! It's our favorite restaurant.

    We dined at Steakhouse 85 with a group of six to celebrate my wife’s recent accomplishment and it was fantastic. The food was exceptional, especially the steaks and the service was top-notch. The ambiance made it the perfect spot for a special night. We’ll definitely return!

    We were in New Brunswick for a quick weekend trip from the west coast and came across Steakhouse 85 through the Opentable App. Upon entrance they had me with the white table linens! We were like Okay!! Carlos our server was engaging and attentive, making the experience great! Started the evening with a couple glasses of Chardonnay followed by lightly fried Crispy Calamari and a couple cups of Lobster Bisque (with a touch of Remy XO). All were perfectly seasoned and presented. For the main course we selected the Twin Lobster Tails and the Seared Scallop Dinner Special. Both were delicious and not overcooked! We thought about having one of the Chilled Seafood Towers (Two-Tier tower or Grand tower) but decided to hold that for a future return trip. We chose the Lobster Mac & Cheese and Sauteed Spinach as sides and were not disappointed. At then of the Main course the server's helpers displayed crumbers to whisk away any wayward crumbs. We ended the evening with Bananas Foster (sauteed with rum & brown sugar, vanilla ice cream) and Lemon Sorbet. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Steakhouse 85 and as I mentioned early Carlos was the dude! It is a nice spot for date night, a romantic dinner, a family, or a group gathering. Noise level was moderate.

    I don't even remember how many times my wife and I have dined at Steakhouse 85, but like all other visits, this one was superb. We were first seated at a smaller table today, and the owner personally came to move us into a very comfortable booth. From there, it was nothing but excellent service and phenomenal food! Our waiter Paul, was excellent, extremely thorough, and attentive. This place never disappoints and without a doubt, we will be back.
