Neil Michael's Steakhouse - Hazlet Twp

Eaten there plenty of times with my wife and food is gr8 drinks are gr8 and servers friendly.

We were able to score a last minute table for Valentine’s Day dinner and it was fantastic all around- our food was all wonderful, and Tammy was a very attentive and friendly server!

We have lived in the area for 20+ years. Unfortunately this place has gone down hill. Every course had problems:Appetizer was clams casino. Clams had a strange undercooked flavor that was unpleasant. It looked as though someone threw the food on the dish. The forks were dunked in the clam sauce and breading.We had French onion soup. The cheese on top was burnt. I understand that it has to go under a broiler to melt the cheese but this cheese was burnt. Most restaurants that I have been to have mastered how to melt the cheese rather than burning it.I ordered the filet mignon. I specifically asked that it be cooked medium. My wife had the shrimp, scallops and lobster fra davalo. The filet mignon was super salty. There was about 3 mouthfuls before I got to the raw part. Raw. Not medium. Raw, inedible.My wife’s dish was puzzling. The scallops were almost raw and the lobster and shrimp were over cooked. I’m not sure how the chef accomplished this feat of ineptitude.The waitress came over and looked at my filet and asked if it was ok. I told her that I could not eat it because it was raw. She stared blankly at me and asked if I wanted to take it home, which I did.I almost forgot, I ordered creamed spinach and the waitress forgot it so it finally came out when we were done eating.This is where they had the opportunity to try to make amends for their mistakes. Maybe offer free drinks, some dessert…something. Nope.Neil Michael’s Steakhouse portrays itself as a mid-range steakhouse but it does not live up to it.There are much better choices and I will be sure to go elsewhere next time.

I grew up close by, but moved up to North Jersey I decided to dine here as I was taking a three-day vacation down the shore I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place. My husband and came late on a Sunday night but were treated adequately and the waiter Corey was wonderful. The food was amazing the service was fast and it was priced fairly well for such a fine cuisine. Highly recommend the Chilean sea bass, overall great service and great food d at a good price. I definitely recommend visiting this quaint little spot if you're ever in the area. You will enjoy every last bit!

Only had Appetizers they were Cooked incorrectly, cold and very unappealing. I'm a Certified/Degreed Chef. Neil Michael's Needs to really Step Up Their Game?
