rod's steak & seafood grill

great brunch. went there for brunch today...what a great value. coffee, water, orange juice, tea. omlette station, fresh waffle, caviar, shrimp cocktail, eggs benedit...it goes on and on.

service is not great. food should be better for the price they charged. expected better from this place.

mobile review the lobster mac was only good not great . i've had much better. the steak i had was great. i went with my family to celebrate a special occasion. it was lunch and daily busy. the median age of the customers was like 60 tho. no joke. dress nicely for this place. it had an old money feeling to the place. as someone in his early 30s and who wore a slacks and a sport coat. i felt out of place.

overall, rod’s is a pleasant restaurant for a special occasion. it is somewhat pricey and the wait staff is just slightly above average.

sunday brunch. the place is absolutely stunning. its very old world, ornately decorated. its almost over the top. its actually relatively new (built in the 70's) but you would think it was the 1870's. very gilded age.

brunch itself was lavish. they had all the usual brunch stuff, omelet stations, turkey, ham, extensive desserts. everything was very good. at $28 a head, hardly inexpensive. many of the parties seemed to be celebrating special occasions, lots of birthday parties, mostly for kids or grandmothers (we were the latter group).

its a fine brunch for these kind of events.

brunch a terrible experience. went for a special occasion, and the food was terrible. omelets and waffles were marginally ok, but the eggs benedict were dried out and on a rock-hard muffin, the shrimp was off, the corned beef hash was greasy/runny, and even the dessert cream puffs were gritty. service was reasonably attentive, until we wanted the check. no one asked if everything was ok, so i figured i would say so here -- it was not. sadly, we will not be going back.

support for local business thumbs down. if you actually would like to meet the owners, don't try at this restaurant.

my family and extended family ate here on mother's day and spent about $1,000.

the food was good but expensive.

if you care about the environment, do not go here.

i returned to just drop off my brochure (i am a local environmentalist with a business of picking up used vegi oil).

the owner richard stellar would not even meet with me.

he just told the host on the phone to send me on my way.

and to think that our department at morristown memorial hospital spent over $5,000. last december for a holiday party. my fellow co-workers were also very disappointed.

i am actually not disappointed that they did not chose to recycle their used vegi oil. it is more of an issue that they do not give courtesy to returning customers.

once again, good luck meeting the owner(s) unless you are going to spend the big bucks

thankfully, i get to share this experience with my fellow co-workers.
