Black Bull Steakhouse and Seafood

very attentive waiter. he might have been new lol 😭 i filled up on the bread because it was good! lobster mac didn’t stand out to me but the burrata salad was one of the best i’ve had. i loved their consideration of splitting it up before serving it to us and the burrata was delicious!! the t-bone steak was also delicious, nice crust and super tender. however the steak sauce is disappointing and ruins the meat, it just tastes like ketchup and vinegar mixed together. dipping it in the melted butter is a much better move.

The Black Bull Steakhouse in Gillette, NJ, is such a wonderful place to dine! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a great evening. The seafood ceviche salad was refreshing, full of bright flavors, and the perfect way to start the meal. The arancini balls were a small but tasty treat — crispy on the outside and perfectly creamy inside. The pistachio-crusted sole fillet was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. To finish, the in-house made gelato was heavenly and paired so well with both the tiramisu and the hot apple strudel.The bar area had an upscale, polished feel, while the dining room felt elegant yet comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Every dish and detail showed real care and passion. I can’t wait to go back — highly recommend for a special night out!

Black Bull is a fantastic successor to what was historically the Meyersville Inn.

The staff was exceptionally professional and meticulous with our order. We started with the meatballs, which were surprisingly tender.

Our main course was the Tomahawk Ribeyw for Two. We were very impressed by the cut and how carefully prepared it was.

I strongly suggest visiting- we will be coming back!

We were so pleasantly surprised by the impeccable decor and ambiance in this place. We were familiar with the location and saw the restaurant being formed and did not expect it to be so nice inside. The food and service were exceptional. We had the pistachio crusted goat cheese app, bone in filet and the sole entree and they were all perfectly cooked and flavored. We also had tiramisu for dessert and it was made in house and very good. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I dined here on a Sunday night, and were so impressed that we returned on Thursday night with our family for my birthday celebration. On Sunday the restaurant was relatively empty but on Thursday it was packed because of a private event going on. That didn't affect service (absolutely superb--thank you Danny and Evan) or stop us from talking to each other (great acoustics).

The restaurant is in a very pretty country setting with a large parking lot and valet service when crowded. It first opened in December 2024 and is brand new construction. It's absolutely beautiful inside. A very tasteful and elegant atmosphere that is perfect for a romantic evening or special occasion. White tablecloths throughout.

The menu is extensive, and all the food is expertly prepared and delicious. Our servers were super accommodating of food allergies and preferences. Basically we had no problem customizing each dish to be exactly what we wanted. They definitely aim to please. That's why the hostess Whitney didn't hesitate to offer us a table in a different section of the restaurant when we saw that the booth we had reserved was in the midst of a noisy private party.

For starters we had clams oreganata, tuna tartare, mediterranean salad (which they split in the kitchen for two people, not a problem at all), burrata salad and caesar salad. Everything was great.

With dinner we had an excellent Sancerre. The sesame tuna was perfectly prepared (though a bit too much sauce in the soba noodles); the tropical grilled seafood was amazing (they customized the dish to leave out the lobster and add extra shrimp); the Porterhouse steak for 2 was actually enough for 3 and was so tender a butter knife could cut it; and a shrimp dish was superb. There are plenty of sides to choose from. The spinach and mashed potatoes were wonderful.

For desert we had chocolate lava cake, sorbet and gelato with chocolate sauce. We also enjoyed a complimentary birthday gelato complete with candle and staff singing happy birthday.

All our courses were perfectly spaced and we never felt rushed. It was such an enjoyable evening. The restaurant is expensive, but we definitely felt we got our money's worth taking into account great food, superb service, excellent ambiance and very generous portions.

This is upscale fine dining at its best. We look forward to returning here with friends and family.
