My selection, the sea bass was delicious. My spouse steak was a little over cooked, more well done. He was medium-well. But he said for the price point it was decent. He is willing to give Lukas another chance.

As a long time fan of White Castle, the idea of a special Valentine’s Day sit down dinner with menus and table service is really fun. Such a break from other pretentious restaurants that overcharge on Valentine’s Day with limited menus. The Green Brook staff is to be commended. Will return each year! Thank you.
