Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Kearny

It’s always a pleasure to dine at the River Cafe. It’s the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion!! We had the privilege to be seated in the area served by the excellent captain Bernie. He is friendly, attentive, and professional!!

Made a reservation and there was a miscommunication where others kept getting sat before us. Once the manager realized what was happening they took care of us and made sure everything else ran smoothly. Overall it was a great experience with kids, the staff was friendly and accommodating. A dinner my kids won’t forget… definitely order the large ice cream dish- it comes complete with singing and dancing staff!

Dinner was so delicious! Service was great—really appreciate them making Christmas Eve so special! Very family friendly. We ordered an appetizer and then had one dish of the chicken Alfredo. It was literally the best I’ve ever had. It fed two adults and two children. The kids loved it and cleared their plates. Then we had the Italian cheesecake and hot fudge brownie. Both were great, definitely recommend the brownie.

First of all, the food, as always, was of the highest quality - everything from the oysters and scallops to the steaks and creamed spinach were perfectly delicious, but mostly we can't say enough about how absolutely fabulous the team of folks graciously serving us were - especially on Christmas Eve charming the six of us (including our two young grandsons, aged 5 and 10). A new family tradition! We offer particular and special thanks to Elise, Jessie, Kelly, and Chef Carla for helping make it such a memorable evening in Lulu of Plum Run!

Friendly staff, very slow drinks from the bar when the dining room wasn’t even a 1/4 full. Delicious food and dedicated teamwork.
