Council Oak Steaks & Seafood
Council Oak Steaks & Seafood offers the sophisticated, classic-American steakhouse fare, originally made famous at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinos in Florida.
The menu offers USDA prime cuts of beef, delectable seafood selections, and more. Meals are prepared by Council Oak’s chefs on the state-of-the-art J&R wood fire grills and Josper coal ovens, both of which help bring out all the subtle flavors in the meats. The perfect complement, Council Oak’s bar offers well-known and approachable liquors, alongside an exclusive list of high-end spirits. An extensive wine-by-the-glass selection and intimate seating along with live entertainment is offered nightly in the lounge area.
Prime Dry-Aged Beef
Council Oak Steaks & Seafood offers USDA dry-aged prime steaks and the freshest seafood. The cuts of meat are dry-aged for up to 45 days, personally selected, and hand-sculpted inside of our Butcher Shop featuring a Himalayan salt-brick-walled chamber.
Wine Selection
Recognized by Wine Spectator with an Award of Excellence consecutively since 2020, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood offers over 350 wines from more than a dozen countries with an extensive by-the-glass, half-bottle and large format selection. Our list represents numerous varietals, regions, and prices ranging from $50 to $6,500 and features Napa Valley classics, tête de cuvée Champagnes, and First Growth Bordeaux wines.

Oyster Recycling Program
Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is doing its part to ensure the sustainability of the seafood industry.
In just months, we can easily rack up around 25,000 pounds worth of oyster shells, which is roughly 50,000 shells. That’s because so many people love eating them — and eating a lot of them. However, we’re making an effort to make sure there will continue to be enough to go around. We participate in an oyster-shell recycling program in partnership with Stockton University and the Cooperative Extension of Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES).
Oyster farmers are able to use the recycled shells to raise more oysters, ensuring the industry’s sustainability.
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 2025
This award is presented to restaurants that show the utmost dedication to the quality of their wine program. Council Oak Steak and Seafood boasts an expansive showcase with immense depth and breadth of regions, producers, vintages, and bottle formats.
