Grillestone Old Bridge

The food is awesome. The oysters were phenomenal. The martinis are well made. The only drawback is the live music. I love live music, but the talent was lacking the night we went. All else was amazing.

Music was way too loud for me. Could have been toned down a little.

Our server, Crystal was excellent with a wonderful personality. The beers on tap were good with a nice selection. The pizza was a little too salty. The spicy tuna sushi was good. The soy sauce is in a low sodium bottle, but there’s no way it’s low sodium soy sauce and the quality is terrible. The manager refused to honor the prices on the happy hour menu that was on our table that also matched the prices on GrilleStone’s website. Shameful!! If this is how they deceive customers, they’ll probably close the Old Bridge location like they did in Scotch Plains. We ordered the food based on the prices on the menu. I checked the website and they were the same after we received the bill and I disputed it. My friends and coworkers won’t be going to karaoke or music bingo ever again. Check out the prices on OpenTable’s menu. They’re also wrong and even lower!! What’s wrong with you people?? Those are pre-Covid prices with the wrong happy hours listed (3-7 pm). Seriously? The area near the kitchen and rest rooms STUNK like a sewer. The ladies’ room’s toilets were flushing non-stop. The mens’ room toilet had no water and did not flush plus there was no soap! The parking lot was FULL of cars with very few people in the restaurant.. wtf?

My friends and I went and had a wonderful experience as always. We all ordered from the specials menu. We got the short rib quesadillas, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. All of our meals were so flavorful. We got the brownie for dessert which was decadent. For drinks we ordered an espresso martini, three peanut butter and jelly martinis, and a pineapple martini. They were well made our server was very helpful and sweet. We will be back very soon.

BAND WAS UNBEARABLE, ruined the entire experience. I am all for live music but it shouldn’t be deafening the entire restaurant was unhappy with music volume and apparently manager wasn’t concerned with all the customers that come there to enjoy dinner . If I wanted to go to concert I’d go to a concert .. very simple turn the volume down
