My friends and I used to go to the Bloomfield Steak House regularly years ago. But as time passed the quality of the food and service declined and we stopped going. A few weeks ago a bunch of us got together and ended up going there for old time's sake. All I can say is we were all very pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The menu has been improved with ample choices. For appetizers we started off with the Spanish Shrimp, Crab and Spinach Dip and Steak Crostini. The shrimp was great, just as good (if not better) as what you get at the Spanish restaurants down neck (Newark's Ironbound Section) fresh, with a perfect amount of garlic and a subtle spicy kick. The Steak Crostini had beautiful presentation and unbelievable taste, very tender grilled filet with a hint of balsamic served with bread and a fantastic horseradish sauce on the side. For main courses we had the Pan Seared Filet Mignon (excellent! topped with blue cheese crumbles) Chipotle Ribeye (awesome glaze and crispy onions) Tuna Steak (pan seared with teriyaki sauce) Prime Rib (very, very good) and Grilled Lamb Chops. We were all very pleased with our selections. All meals came with a salad with choice of dressing; the greens were crisp and fresh with nice sized croutons. Also choice of potato or rice. The garlic mashed was extremely good. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was friendly and very helpful and the service was very prompt but not rushed. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed and the restaurant's historic charm and simplicity has been preserved. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal and experience. We found the prices very reasonable for the quality, presentation and service. We have already made plans to return.
Pros: Quality food, excellent service, on-site parking, outdoor seating
Cons: None I can think of
