Q'tal Bar and Grill

Dinner on a Tuesday night. Great place, great food and service. Highly recommended.
We had different appetizers and they were all delicious. Main course was the steak and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. We had different desserts also all of them amazing. Thanks for the great dinner.

It's a not so hidden gem in the Kearny/Harrison area, but it's definitely worth stopping by. We stopped in for lunch on a beautiful sunny day and was able to enjoy the outdoor backyard seat. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We ordered from the lunch/happy hour menu and everything was delicious. The drinks were delicious too and well made. The venue is large that it looks and decorated well. I will be going back in the future.

What an absolutely great experience! Everything was perfect from the apps (which we ate to quickly to take pics) to the main course….. we ended up just sharing 4 plates and complained about NONE! Service was awesome from Luciana and the bartender brought me my drink with a cheers. My birthday dinner was perfect. Thank you to everyone from Qtal

My family celebrated our mother's 70th birthday and I have to truly thank Lucy for her phenomal service. She made us all feel comfortable and so attentive to all we needed. The staff was so kind, courteous, gave exceptional service. This establishment is truly one of a kind. The food is too notch, so tasty, well cooked just as we asked. I am so thankful for all you did for us. The experience was so memorable. Thank you for everything. We will definitely see you all again.

This place had a nice vibe to it. Our waiter was superb and the food and drinks are delicious. Over all a delightful time.

I've been two Q'tal twice and both times it was excellent. The atmosphere is solid and the service is attentive. Their cocktails are very smooth and flavorful- I had the Purple Rain and the Eau De Lavender (the mocktails are good too, I had the Lady Bird which was wonderful.)

As for the food - no matter what you get it will be good. The standouts have been any meat/steak item but their Risotto with crab meat and shrimp was also great. This place is a real gem tucked between Kearny and Harrison, couldn't recommend it more.

A Brazilian restaurant with Portuguese speaker people known for its delectable cuisine and exceptional service. While the restaurant may be a bit on the expensive side, the quality of the food and attention to detail are well worth the investment.

The highlight of my meal was the ribs barbecue, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The meat was tender and juicy, and the accompanying sides were equally impressive. The wine selection was also impressive, and the sommelier was happy to make recommendations to pair perfectly with our meal.

One of the most notable aspects of the restaurant is the chef, whose expertise is evident in every dish. The presentation of the food was beautiful, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared with a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The food is exceptional, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is elegant and refined. While it may be a bit pricey, it is well worth the investment for a memorable meal that you won't soon forget.

I haven't gone to a restaurant that I truly felt needed to be on the list of best restaurants in New Jersey but this definitely is it. The service, drinks, appetizers and the entree was superb. Please go and taste for yourself and tell me this is not some of the best food and drinks you ever had

The food was delicious, as were the nicely presented cocktails. Love the decor and it's close to home so we can walk to it and not worry about drinking plenty of them.

Pricey but delicious. Q’tal is a mix of Brazilian and Italian cuisine. Our server, Sam was excellent and took his time to make my cocktail himself so that it wasn’t too sweet as I had requested. The bread is baked in house and the herb butter and ricotta butter were also made in house. All were yummy as were the burrata and truffle fries. We shared the crab and shrimp risotto for our entree as we weren’t too hungry at brunch. Cheesy and tasty, the shrimps were a good size and we got 5 of them. We will definitely come back for dinner to try more of the dishes. Thank you Sam for looking after us!

We went during the labor day weekend. Not too many costumers. The service is very good and they have great cocktails! The foods are on the pricier side but totally worth it. The outdoor seating is nice too. Will come back.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Recommended is the salmon in squash sauce and the lemon cheesecake.

I came here for my birthday and the place was honest amazing. The food was delicious and the service was great.

Goggle search for happy hour and this spot came up.

Drinks were priced good.

Had the Chopped Filet Mignon which were amazing!!!

What a lovely place.

You can tell they took their time to creative an awsthetically beautiful restaurant. Love the decor and furnishings.

Amazing cocktails. I loved everything I ordered haha

The waiters were sweet hearts. My cousin and i had a great time. Definitely coming back!

Tonight was my 1st visit and the special was lamb shank and I must say. That was the best lamb shank I have ever had. Tender to the forks touch and the way it was perfectly seasoned. It was like love in my mouth.

The best filet mignon with mushroom I’ve had in a long while. Especially so close to home! It was love at first bite.

And their truffle fries were perfection. Cannot wait to try the beautiful octopus I’ve been seeing.

The server at the bar was so sweet and told us about the happy hour my husband and I who have been out on a date for a bit since the birth of our babies. We forgot what a happy hour was.

What a lovely place with amazing food and probably one of the best service I experienced. Our server Mayara (I hope I got her name right) was exceptional. It definitely showed she’s a people person and very wholesome. She ran through the menu and offered great suggestions which we ended up loving.
The space is very clean and modern and coming in you’ll get a couple of 2 ppl tables and a nice blue light bar. There’s a wall separating two spaces so on the other side there’s a bigger room where they started playing live music. I imagine The separation is great to make one space very bar - ish while still giving the other that restaurant feel.

We had the jackfruit croquettes (vegan) and absolutely banging! And the star of the night was the crab and shrimp dip with cracker which was such a treat to have. Very creamy and served warm.

We also shared the Salmon with passionfruit sauce and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes was absolutely smooth and velvety and so delicious. The broccolini was a nice crunchy mix-in and gave a good clean balance to the dish while the roasted tomatoes gave a slight tart. I wish the passionfruit tartness was played out better in this dish I think they could do better.

the presentations of each dish was beautiful so big kudos to the kitchen staff.
We ended the night with the chocolate molten cake and the added almond crunch was a nice touch along with the vanilla ice cream. The cake itself was a tad over cooked but that’s an overall common error in molten cakes. So no foul there.

The drinks could overall be better I think presentation wise they are beautiful. We loved 1 of the 2 drinks we had. Enamorados was amazing while the purple rain lacked some complexity.

Another big point was the house made bread. A very good portion was offered along with butter, dipping oil and olives

Food is so good! Every plate in here is just amazing. Good atmosphere. Nice music.

Me and a friend planned to meet here for dinner and drinks. I made reservations via telephone. When I arrived I was lucky to find parking right by the restaurant, because parking is bad in that area. When I walked in I was greeted by the manager and asked if I had reservations. I told her yes and she sat us down. We were served by Rae and she was awesome and very attentive.

We started with bread and boy this has got to be the best bread basket. It was fresh and soft and hot. It was so tasty. We also ordered a pitcher of sangria and it was very good. For our appetizers we got impossible sliders and it was very tasty. I thought it was meat at first but it was seasoned so well I couldn't tell it was vegan. For our entrées I got the vegan gnocchi bolognese and my friend got the shrimp bolognese. Everything was sooooo good. The bill came to about $98. This was a great experience and I will be back.
