Met up with some friends on a Friday night for Happy Hour. We got there at 5pm, knowing we only had to 6 pm to enjoy happy hour. We were seated in the back area as there was about 8 to 10 of us. The well drinks (tito, margarita, etc) were priced at $10 and appetizers priced at the same. I ordered a lemon drop martini to drink, grilled oysters and steak crostini to eat. My grilled oysters were okay, except for one that has some "crunch"...lol to it. My steak was medium and cooked as ordered. But the show stopper was definitely the lemon drop martini, it was a good strong. So I ordered a second. The other girls really enjoyed their Caesar salad and mango margaritas. Our service was a bit slow, but good overall. Good happy hour spot, with a parking lot. read more

The resturant was smaller than I thought but very cozy with a room with a bar and a dining area. There is an upstairs area where the only bathrooms are also located but it was empty when we were there. Also there is a parking lot, and they were offering valet when we went. I enjoyed the food I had as an entree (steak frites). What I didn't like was our waiter was constantly trying to up charge us. He kept asking if we wanted to add specific things to all our orders and even if we said no, he still insisted on it. This even occurred with shots of alcohol. I explicitly said I was driving and didn't want it and still shots were brought out with out us even asking. We thought maybe he was being very nice. Or maybe something was included we didn't know about ( what was added were things like a Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato fries so it easy to see how we didn't see it was things out of the ordinary included as sides for meals) or we were for some reason getting something comped, but that was not the case. Our bill was ASTRONOMICAL. If we didn't have these items we didn't want added on, it would have been fine but this type of way of doing business makes me never want to go back. We considered fighting the bill, but we did eat the food because at the time we thought it was either included or comped. Please be aware of this if you visit this restaurant, and if you are insisted upon adding things to your order learn from our mistake and ask more questions if it's included or make sure you explicitly say NO. read more

It was a nice place to visit from out of town. The food was all pretty good and the layout seems ok in here too. Nothing was bad in here so we liked it. read more

We went to Bloomfield Steakhouse tonight on a Wednesday, expecting the good serve that we have had in the past. We didn't get it tonight. It took 1 hour from the time that we entered before we got our food. The couple that came in after us ate and left before we got our entrees. Granted we ate 1 appetizer and had our drinks but 1 hour to get our food? At that point we didn't feel much like eating so we took the food home. I don't know if the waitress had a bad night but we had to ask her if our food was coming out before she responded. I won't be back. read more

Overall this is a great local steakhouse that will get it right 99% of the time. I enjoyed the food, the steak to cooked perfectly, nice char on the outside and pink in the middle. The mashed potatoes were delicious, seasoned just right. They have other sides that come with the steak like a baked potato and rice, but also other sharable sides like mac & cheese, veggies, etc. The service was very attentive, we began our meal outside but a bee decided to try and join, so we asked to move inside. Inside is a little dark, but gives steakhouse vibes. Our waiter was nice and informative, but everyone is there to assist in any way they can. read more

Bloomfield Steak & Seafood House - Steakhouses Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

When one walks in the door of a lavish steakhouse, it's that delicious aroma of a fine selection of perfectly cut steaks, chops, and the soulful ambiance is always so romantic and warm. Housed in one of the oldest buildings of the Pre-Revolutionary War in Essex County, and with the basement once a stop on the Underground Railroad, this family-owned and operated establishment has been serving the Bloomfield area for over 20 years, and it's where we decided on dinner tonight. The reservation was easily made by calling Bloomfield Steak & Seafood located on Franklin Street. Upon arrival as first-timers, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the host and shown to a table in the cozy dining area in the back with a maritime decor vibe. They have outdoor seating in warmer weather with a live band and cozy fireplaces in the cooler months. Whether one's a meat lover, seafood enthusiast, or vegetarian, their diverse menu offers appetizers, soups, salads, pasta, burgers, and, of course, steak and seafood. As appetizers, we decided on a dozen Blue Point Oysters and Beef Empanadas. For our main meal, we opted for Pork Chop with Jersey Peach Sauce, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Mac-N-Cheese, Steak Frites and accompanied by a side salad. Some of us even saved room for Key Lime Pie. Complimentary bread started our meal. Everything on the menu was made with such care, love, fresh ingredients, and tasteful deliciousness. Each cut was cooked to absolute perfection--juicy, flavorful, and tender in all the right ways. The staff makes one feel welcome and well taken care of; our server, Andrea, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Excellent price for the quality compared with other places. Excellent all around, which we can recommend. read more

My colleagues and I came here around 2:30 pm for a party in the upstairs party room. There was a bar, which was nice, but I felt bad bc the server ended up having to go to the downstairs bar every so often to make cocktails bc the upstairs one didn't have all of the ingredients. The service was great; the servers were very attentive and kind. They brought up the food and arranged everything buffet-style for us promptly after we arrived. Everything was very orderly, and the food was served hot. The food itself was decent; it was pretty standard American food. We had salad, pasta, salmon, steak, mashed potatoes, and chicken wings. It wasn't amazing, but it was good. Overall, this was a nice location for a work party, especially since there was a bar right in the party room, and there was a good number of servers w/ us. read more

Finally ended up having a meal here. The food was great and service was top-notch. We sat at bar and it always fun there. Will start going more often for dinner here. Good place for family. Nice date place. read more

Bloomfield Steakhouse is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a cozy, warm ambiance that makes you feel right at home--especially in the winter months when the fireplace is crackling and adds the perfect touch of comfort. Now let's talk about the food... phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe it. Every single thing on the menu is prepared to perfection--flavorful, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. Whether you're in the mood for a juicy steak, fresh seafood, or one of their creative appetizers, you honestly can't go wrong. In the warmer months, the outdoor seating is such a nice bonus--perfect for enjoying a great meal with a breeze and a view. This place is consistently excellent, and easily one of my favorite spots in town. Highly recommend for a date night, dinner with friends, or anytime you just want great food and a warm atmosphere. read more

I have been dining at this establishment for years, which makes this review especially disappointing to write. I visited on Easter with a party of six, expecting the same level of quality and service I had experienced in the past. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations from the very beginning. The food temperature was a consistent issue--starting with the rolls and continuing through the cream of mushroom soup and main courses. Everything arrived barely warm rather than hot, which ultimately required sending food back to the kitchen. When the owner (who I understand to be Nicole) came to the table to wish us a Happy Easter, I politely asked to speak with her privately to address the issue. Rather than focusing on the concern at hand, she brought up a prior visit when we had dined on Thanksgiving Day and referenced a two-hour table limit. That prior experience also involved long delays in service and issues with food temperature, making it difficult to complete the meal within the allotted time. Yesterday, on Easter, despite having a 1:00 PM reservation, the main entrées were not served until approximately 2:30 PM, with the full table finally served at 2:31 PM--making it difficult to comply with a strict time limit when service itself was delayed. Guests are expected to wait until all meals are served before beginning, which further reduces the actual time available to dine. While the baked potato was properly hot (and honestly the best part of the meal), the steak and other items were again only warm. Despite this, we completed our meal and ordered dessert. The total bill came to $428.48 for six people, which would be acceptable if the overall experience met expected standards--but unfortunately, it did not. The most troubling part of the experience occurred after the meal. When the owner approached again, her tone and language were unprofessional. She stated that she knew I was "pissed," which I found inappropriate. I explained that this was not an acceptable way to address a customer, to which Nicole, I believe to be the owner, responded that she could speak to me however she wanted. The interaction escalated unnecessarily, ultimately ending with her telling me not to return--after I had already indicated that I would not. However, based on this experience--particularly the combination of poor food quality and unprofessional customer interaction--I will not be returning. To his credit, another staff member followed us outside and attempted to de-escalate the situation, which was appreciated. i see the owner responded and i wish to state the following for the record: The owner's response speaks for itself. As a paying customer, I approached the situation respectfully and privately, simply hoping to address concerns about food quality and service. Unfortunately, instead of professionalism, I was met with a dismissive and disrespectful reply. Hospitality requires accountability, composure, and respect--especially from ownership. The language used here reflects a clear lack of customer service skills and an unwillingness to handle feedback constructively. Disagreement is one thing, but responding in a hostile and personal manner is entirely inappropriate for someone representing a business. This experience was disappointing not only because of the issues during the meal, but more so because of how they were handled afterward. Professionalism matters, and in this case, it was clearly lacking. read more

I ate here fall of 2024 and I was not impressed. They get great reviews and I am not sure why. The cold bread during winter months should have told me it wasn't going to be good but we stayed. The food was mediocre at best. Today I bought a coconut cake based on recommendations from a Montclair fb group (it wasn't cheap) and was sorely disappointed. It was soooooo sweet that I think I got diabetes again. And the cake itself was dry. Not sure what people are eating and raving about; maybe they just love sugar ‍. The coconut was masked by all that sweet so definitely won't be back. read more

Do not go. Don't waste your money. Wayyyyyy better steak houses. Definitely Would not go again Went there for dinner and was unsure but walking in the place looked very cozy, rugs, wood tables by the fireplace. The outside had igloo set ups for what I assume nice intimate dinners. Waited for my table and we were sat in the second floor. As we walked up the stairs that were decorated with an old timey feel, which made us look forward to a nice ambiance for dinner as it had been since we had walked into the place...we entered a cold sports bar setting. Flimsy outside Tables were randomly placed in this cold millennial modern decor. The grey floors, table that could barely hold one plate, the cold empty walls accompanied by shark tank, storage wars and a football game on tv made us feel like we were in an episode of kitchen nightmares. It felt like the second floor was an afterthought and we were second grade customers. I did not want to judge the place too fast, but when we were seated a bread basket was placed on our table (cold stale bread) that should have been red flag number one. We ordered drinks, the drinks were gross, red flag number two. I order a burger medium. burger was rare in some spots and well done in others. (Picture attached) The inconsistency with in the patty should have made us walk out. The other meal- steak with mash. It was well done on one side and medium well on the other. The mash potato's were grainy and dry. We barely touched our meal. I felt like I was getting pranked. Best thing was the water and the waiter. DO NOT GO. Don't waste your money read more

Spouse and I agree that we would rate it a 3.5 Came on a Saturday at 3pm, there a couple people which quickly doubled by the time we left 2 hrs late. -18oz ribeye: just okay, could have used more salt (from someone who usually does not add more salt to things) and could have used more flavor general. Also came out from the kitchen barely hot, more towards the warm side which really makes a difference for a steak. -hoisin crispy brussel sprouts: cooked well but hoisin sauce was overpowering almost as if poured directly from a bottle. There was no complexity to the flavor. It did not complement the steak. Overall, was okay but would not return. Disappointed as I would have loved to frequent a smaller steakhouse but for this price, I can get better steak elsewhere. read more

Perfect local gem with fabulous steaks, a cozy bar, fantastic happy hour, and wonderful staff! I love this place!

Ordered the Thanksgiving tray again this year. Price has gone up, like everything else nowadays to $42 but unfortunately it was missing the extra gravy, no gravy on the sides, and the rolls. Also the sides portions shrunk too. Still delicious though. Hope price doesn't go up again next year and sides get even smaller. They tell you this is for 1 person but I made FOUR meals out of this! read more

Came here for our anniversary dinner and we ate outside in the igloo. Great experience and great food. I got the steak frites which were divine and my husband got the fried shrimp which was also good. We shared the Mac and cheese which was ok but I probably wouldn't get it again. To end we got crème brûlée. I'm a crème brûlée snob and have had many even in France. This one was a 7/10. So pretty solid. Overall enjoyed this restaurant and will return! read more

It's been awhile since I've been here (pre-covid) and this experience bumped up my rating. We came on a Sunday night with reservations for 5 people. They start you with a basket of fresh warm bread. We had a couple of apps - buffalo chicken dip and empanadas, and we enjoyed both (though the chips seemed slightly stale and broken into small bits). Despite this one thing the rest of the meal was great. I got the ribeye medium rare which was perfectly done and tender. Nice large cut and huge pile of creamy mashed potatoes. The house salad that came with was fresh and the balsamic was delicious. The crispy onions and hoisin brussel sprouts were addictive, I need to make those brussel sprouts at home. I had 3 cocktails - 2 of them were the In Bloom (very refreshing) and the other was a mint chocolate martini for dessert. The creme brulee was perfection. Service was attentive with drink orders and the food came out at a good pace. read more

It's good, nice ambiance to the establishment. I'm assuming it use to be a house as the bathroom is upstairs for some reason? The food was ok, not something that really left an impression. My boyfriend got the steak, and he liked it but wasn't thrilled (especially with the heft price tag on it). I would go again, only to try to outside seating they have in the colder months. Looks like private plastic "spheres" with cute lights. read more

Dining at the Bloomfield Steak & Seafood house is always a great experience. The ambiance of the outdoor seating is perfect for a nice lunch or dinner date.

Came across as part of a birthday pub crawl but will undeniably be back! Bloomfield Steak & Seafood is a gem of a spot that I stumbled upon during a bar crawl on a Saturday afternoon. As we walked in with a group of about 12 people, the place was looking like it was just getting ready for a bustling Saturday evening. Wished we could have stayed for food, but only had time to grab drinks instead. The bartenders were a delight - very friendly and accommodating - and made us feel welcome right away. The weather was nice so we decided to take our drinks outside for cornhole on the patio. It was the perfect way to spend a beautiful afternoon, sipping drinks and playing games with friends. The beautiful scenery and ambiance around the patio took your mind off the Bloomfield traffic. read more

I love this place. Over the years I've been there for lunch, dinner, a small graduation party, a party for a coworker who received her degree, and a political function. I hadn't been there in awhile because I no longer work in Bloomfield, but on Friday night a friend and I decided to go there. It was as good as I remembered if not better. I had prime rib with a delicious side of broccoli sauteed in garlic. The salad was fresh, the prime rib was perfectly medium rare, and the broccoli was plentiful and delicious, not overcooked at all. The prime rib was huge and thick, and there was so much that I brought more than half of it home. My friend also had the prime rib with a side of mushrooms and mashed potatoes. She said it was spectacular. No dessert for me, trying to be good, but I had a nice coffee. My friend had a flan and said it was very nicely done. Service was beyond perfect. They let us sit and catch up, and were great about checking on us to make sure everything was all right. I definitely will make sure to go back. read more

This place was your basic American steakhouse. The service was good. And the place itself was cozy. The cocktails were not good. I got one that tasted like cough syrup and asked to switch it and that also tasted like cough syrup. The food, again, was basic.l but the serving sizes are big. We started with the wings, steak crostini, and French onion soup. The French onion soup and wings were great. The steak crostini was also good and flavorful. The entrees come with a side and salad. The steak was cooked well but could've been more flavorful. Regardless, if you want steak, here's a good place to come. read more
