Immerse yourself in the rustic yet sophisticated vibe at B2 North Brunswick, a beautifully-situated, full-service restaurant and banquet facility neatly nestled on the shore of picturesque Lake Farrington in Middlesex County. Based on the "garden to table" concept, our Executive Chef and his talented team transform the freshest locally-sourced ingredients into delectable culinary creations reminiscent of the American and Mediterranean bistro-style of cooking. Cocktails anyone? You’ve come to the right place! We have a knowledgeable staff dedicated to their craft and fresh ingredients. Weekend Brunch is back - available Saturdays and Sundays 11am-2pm. Plus, fresh sushi! Come for the lake, stay for the good cheer.
Parking lot is tight with many drivers parking past the lines or off from the angled parking, so if you're one who values your car, their parking angles will definitely give you a scare of not knowing if you'll come outside to find a dent from the vehicles next to you. Park closer to the building where the parking is a little better.
The interior is not what I would expect in North Brunswick, but it has a beautiful outdoor seating with views next to the river (lake?). Even the seating inside by the bar area gets a nice view. They have a private formal dining area for parties in another room.
The food looks pretty when it comes to presentation but lacks in flavor. The mozzarella sticks were well cooked and crunchy but was bland. My steak sliders also were bland and the meat was very sinewy - most of it ended up chewed but inedible and left on the plate - not worth $14 for 3 tiny sliders with poor cuts of meat with lots of chips.
My margarita had black unknown specs floating inside, but the waiter replaced it for me.
When it came time for the check, the math was off, adding an extra dollar here and there and the taxes not adding up correctly. Perhaps most people don't check, as I did not as well, but my friend pointed it out to me that both our checks had at least a dollar and xx cents added to each of our receipts apart from the 3% extra for credit card use which I understand. We didn't bring it up to the waiter since it was overall just ~$3, but we wondered how many customers were being slipped ~$3 extra on their checks.
Come for the ambiance and drinks, but you won't be wowed by the food.

I NO LONGER recommend this place. I suggest you read this review. I don’t get paid to write reviews and I’m not a former employee. I have no reason to lie about my experience. As an honest customer and an individual who loves to dine at many places, I’m huge on customer service and quality. This is my first time leaving a google review because it’s that upsetting and disappointing. I’ve had one too many bad experiences here. Last night was it for me.
This was THE WORST bridal shower dinner/restaurant dining experience I’ve ever had in my life. I didn’t want to ruin the bride’s-to-be night but I definitely would’ve asked for an entire new menu or a refund for us. Yes, the place is beautiful but the food and service is the COMPLETE opposite.
Our salad was old. The presentation was awful. It looked like our food was just thrown onto the plate! The shrimp scampi was watery, overcooked with barely any taste. Take a look at the photos!! Unfortunately I’m unable to upload videos but honestly….Would you eat that? When you look at it as a server or cook, nothing clicks in your head like “hmmm this doesn’t seem presentable or fresh”?? We paid $45 pp to receive that quality which would’ve been better spent at a Chinese buffet. The best part was the dessert and even the brownie was literally just a slither!! The rest was a bowl of ice cream and whipped cream.
I had a watermelon margarita at the bar for $11 and then I ordered the SAME. EXACT. DRINK. at the table with the party and it was $16. When I asked the server why did it cost more for the same drink, his response: “because you’re at a private party and we use top shelf tequila”. I said that makes zero sense for you to charge me for the same drink based off of where I was sitting. I didn’t ask for a top shelf tequila and that needs to be removed from my bill.
Again, I strongly do not recommend this place. I’m over it. I have come to this establishment on different occasions and have been disappointed with their food quality and hospitality. They were not friendly and I feel invisible when I sit at the bar. There’s been a couple of times where bartenders have walked past me without greeting me while the bar WASN’T busy. The one guy never comes back and ask “how was your food, do you need anything else” so I just close out my check immediately after ordering. The only satisfying items I had were pizza, sushi, and steak sliders which you can get from anywhere. Get a Surfside and items on the happy hour menu if that.
It’s places like this that attract customers with their ambiance and get all of your money just to give you service like this. Rude servers and managers. Low quality food and presentation. It is not fair and it’s quite pathetic like that dead salad. I wish I could take back every dollar I ever spent, take back my tips, and go spend it at iHop or something. All I can say is good luck on your experience.

I've had brunch here a few times and in my opinion, it's one of the best brunch spots in the central New Jersey area. I especially like that they serve alcohol; their cocktails always hit the spot.
Some of the things I enjoyed are:
The food and drinks are always delicious.
Exceptional service from a patient and knowledgeable staff.
Valet parking.
Lakeside patio seating with a panoramic view of the beautiful lake.
Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable brunch experience!

The atmosphere is amazing. Clean and well maintained. The sushi is delicious, and so was the lobster mac and cheese. The surf and turf were okay. Mussels in scampi sauce were delicious also. Could use more toast with the order.
The staff was good. Some work really hard, hustling back and forth with a smile. Unfortunately, on a very hot day, we were served room temperature water. While others glasses had ice and condensed glass from the ice cold water. I did not appreciate that. However, the service was okay. Food was above average, and the atmosphere was amazing. Enjoy the lake view 😎!

Awesome bistro & bar. Be prepared for parking hassle, as this place is so popular, the lot may be almost full, although they do have valet parking if you need one. They have a brick oven inside for pizzas. We ordered a veggie pizza and it came with peppers, spinach, and artichoke plus some BBQ sauce. The pizza was tasty, but I thought BBQ sauce made it a bit sweet for my liking. Brookie dessert was enjoyed by all on our table. We shared between 4 of us. It was nice warm brownie + cookie mix, topped with vanilla ice cream and wipped cream on the side. Cant do wrong with that, ever! The server was very, very friendly and made us feel just at home. Saturday night and they had a beer option for five below? Then who needs the happy hours? Will bring my appetite again. Till next time, adios! Gracias chef!!

In addition to dining at the restaurant regularly and always being satisfied— My husband and I hosted our baby shower at B2 and couldn’t be happier with the experience! Iliana was beyond amazing as well as the support staff during our event. The responses were fast, the event was flawless & my guests gave endless compliments! The view of the lake from the floor to ceiling doors is just picturesque.
The food was a hit and beyond satisfactory. Our vendors had no issues with set-up or access. We are so impressed with the professionalism of the venue and are forever grateful for this experience !
Would HIGHLY recommend (especially for the stellar price).

The Banquet Manager Iliana and her team made our wedding reception a dream come true. Very straightforward, functional and fun. We changed our minds quite a few times for our 120 person party. They worked very well with us. Very patient. The set up was FAST. The food was amazing. The banquet doors were open so it was well ventilated. The water and gazebo were such a great addition for us and the guest. The banquet team made sure to fill up the buffet once it got empty. The bartender was also a great time. We forgot to cut our cake during the reception and Iliana made sure to remind us (which she doesn’t have to do at all!). The waiter asked us ahead of time if he can cut the cake for us which was also great being that we were expecting to do it. A few of our guest had some dietary restrictions. Upon request they immediately attended to those guest. Once party was over, another party was going to start at 6 & the banquet team went straight to work to set up for the next party. They allowed us to come the night before after a party since the room was available to set up and leave the desserts the night before. Such a weight off our shoulders. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and restaurant for our special day.

The atmosphere was very good took pictures and had a great experience but while leaving we asked for a to go cup to take the 2 mojitos they gave one and the other one they didn’t they taught we are taking alcohol but the alcohol was finished at the table itself my biggest concern is without watching the server who lit up fire for us at the river view said she gonna call cops this is not the way to talk to the customers we said to check cameras this ruined up everything I wish I would’ve talked to manager as we were traveling we couldn’t.We all respect the rules and we are not into “alcohol to go” why someone would do that after having at the table.
Would never come back hope no one gonna have such experience say when u see please don’t ruin up without being sure.
I respect the owner the view and ambience was awesome service went well too but the last thing ruined up everything please note it!

I ordered the lobster mac and cheese entree. It was the size of an appetizer/ kids meal. Ate half before finding any lobster. It was in a watery soup of cheese. We ordered the Margherita pizza for an appetizer the crust drooped as soon as we picked up a slice. I felt bad for the waitress who was hanging back with the other waitresses by the door as if told to. We could not even get cheese or spices for our pizza. I don't think we will be going back. It looks ok for drinks but I would not order dinner.

When ordering Surf & Turf it would be a good idea to serve it with a “Steak knife” and a ramekin of melted butter. The Fish & Chips would have been better with plain fries. Your Cole slaw was hard as rocks. I should have ordered the Pretzel. No Coke only Pepsi, Jack Daniel’s & Coke, not Jack Daniel’s & Pepsi. 👎

While the location of B2 bistro on Lake Farrington makes for a memorable evening, the food tastes only ok at best and quite subpar for many items. Service is very rushed and inattentive. However, the biggest driver of this low rating is the discovery that a 3% credit card surcharge is added when paying with a card. This information is NOT divulged before paying and as such, it is shameful that such a large establishment with higher-than-average meal prices would pass on this cost of doing business to its customers.

Went Monday 8/19, around 7:30. Everything was pleasant enough, until we started noticing some issues. Staff was wearing Hawaiian shirts (nothing wrong about that), about half of the staff had them unbuttoned. Had a dill margarita and an old fashioned, neither drink was balanced or prepared well, but still drinkable. Got oysters and caprese salad, oysters were not properly shucked, tomatoes were not seasoned. My son got Mac and cheese (not seasoned) and soggy sweet potato fries. For the entrees, I got the rice noodles and my girl got the parpadelle. Rice noodles didn't seem to be sauteed, more like boiled with a thin sauce, the curry was very forward. The parpadelle was very acidic, the gorgonzola took over everything.
Other than that, guests seemed to be walking around with drinks in their hands, someone was installing fire extinguishers during service.
Our server was well.
Overall, this needs a tune up for a bill costing a little over 200$ for 2 1/2 people.

sat at the bar a few nights ago with a friend. restaurant was not busy whatsoever but the parking lot made it look as such. we snagged the last two spots, and you would have thought the restaurant was packed. there are not nearly enough spots in the lot for the size of the place. i’ve never had to do valet, but this is not a high end restaurant so i’m not even sure why they offer it - probably because the parking situation is chaotic.
bartenders were friendly and the drinks were good. food was OK but extremely overpriced for what it was. you cannot find anything on the menu for less than $17-18. even just my order of buffalo cauliflower was $17. location is great (right on the lake) and outside seating is a plus. maybe the prices reflect the location, but it’s basically a chain restaurant with generic offerings so i don’t think i will be back.

Went to B2 for the 2nd time and ordered the blackened fish tacos and steak sliders. Both unfortunately were very salty.
The drinks also came late. It arrived when we got the food.
Cooks should pay attention to how much salt they add to what they put out.
No wonder Americans have salt/gout issues. First time I went I found the calamari too fried also.
Restaurants add too much salt to make their foods ‘delicious’. You shouldn’t need to if you marinate and cook it well.
Lucky your place is located at a nice place and you have some nice employees.

Since I cannot give 2 1/2 stars 3 will
do. We have been ordering sushi from this restaurant for a few years. After all we are neighbors and we live near by it. We have been noticing for a few months that not only the quality of sushi is getting bad but the portions are getting smaller and smaller. Same 8 pieces per roll but smaller sizes. Today we ordered 5 different roles and as the sushi pieces are getting smaller it seems that they are compensating with huge balls of wasabi. Don’t get me wrong we love wasabi but this in comparison and it just seems as they just want to make the Sushi trays look fuller. The wasabi was ridiculous. The sushi today was not fresh, two of the rolls were supposed to be topped with crunchy onions and they barely sprinkle onions on them, one of the rolls had it barely in 4 pieces so not even an effort to serve the rolls the way the are supposed to be. The yellow tail roll was oddly fishier, it usually doesn’t small that strong, so we couldn’t even finish that roll. We ordered through door dash so lesson learned. Maybe if we are at the restaurant we can ask to have the dishes replaced but who knows. Not sure if we will be ordering from there anytime soon or at least not sushi.

Beautiful view if you eat outside in the patio and the food was great. Our waiter forgot to order a dish I wanted to take home with me. The place was super busy and towards the end he just seemed overwhelmed which was fine. But the 4 stars is their parking situation . It’s a mess! I luckily found a spot and when I left the restaurant I was blocked in by valet. I was able to grab the only attendant I saw to move the car behind me. Parking there is a nightmare.

Lovely location but not great all around.Party of 5 on Sunday at 1pm. Parking was a mess but they have ‘complimentary’ valet parking that demanded a tip at the end of the lunch party. Food was a hit and miss. Pizza and drinks were good but buffalo cauliflower for $17 was a rip off. Servers were stressed out, sweating profusely and kitchen was backed up trying to keep up. Might be good on a weekday but avoidable on a weekend. Food is pricey and it may turn out to be more expensive than expected.

I had dinner with friends this evening at B2 Bistro + Bar in North Brunswick. Parking was available, which is a plus for me. Upon entering, I was very impressed with the layout and enjoyed being welcomed right away. We were seated promptly, but the waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed since it was busy tonight.
It took about 15-20 minutes before she greeted us, and it felt like she was avoiding our table while attending to others who arrived before us. Additionally, the restaurant was warm and muggy, and I noticed the waitress sweating and wiping her sweat and nose after our food had already arrived, which was concerning.
Despite these issues, the overall experience was nice. The ambiance and layout of the restaurant were appealing. However, timely greeting and order-taking are crucial for a better dining experience. I would still recommend this location and plan to return.

Was here for Fathers Day Brunch. My son made the reservations and was not informed it was a buffet brunch only! Cost was $55/pp So expensive. We wanted to order off the menu and the waiter had to ask if we could even do that. Normally we enjoy this place but communication is a must!

Brought my father today for the Father’s Day brunch buffet. There were so many delicious food options to choose from I was impressed with the variety of both breakfast and lunch options. Everything was good too, seafood options were delicious, no complaints. Everyone was friendly and manager was friendly as well checking to ensure everyone had what they needed.
Sat by the lake, positive relaxing vibe, overall great experience

My bf took me there for brunch and what a nice place to eat. I suggest the outside. U have the view of the water and it is very airy and relaxing. Plus, the food was good. We selected from the Brunch menu.

The patio view was lovely, but the food was surprisingly subpar. Ordered a turkey burger with ranch and no bacon. It came with bacon, no ranch, and no discernible flavor. The salad tasted like a spring mix that'd been left in the fridge a few days too long.

B2bistro North Brunswick for a wedding?? Absolutely. Beautiful view, delicious food, easy to work with. Iliana, venue coordinator, amazing to work with. Wait staff on point, bartenders the best, valet parking. Everything we dreamed of and more. Best night ever. Run don’t walk. Throws an over the top party.

Came here with my bestfriend for lunch our very first time here, I arrived early and the host was a sweet heart. As I sat for at least 15min no one ever came to greet me or take my order or offer anything. I had to look for a waiter to take my order. The girl who took my order was amazing, was upset she had to split her tip with the waiter that was supposed to take my order. Food was ok. Drinks are amazing and atmosphere was beautiful. She did apologize but she didn’t need to it wasn't her fault.

The place has a really cool look and a nice view. I haven't tried everything on the menu, but what I have had so far with the exception of the beef au jus is just ok, not bad, not great.

In addition to dining at the restaurant regularly and always being satisfied— My husband and I hosted our baby shower at B2 and couldn’t be happier with the experience! Iliana was beyond amazing as well as the support staff during our event. The responses were fast, the event was flawless & my guests gave endless compliments! The view of the lake from the floor to ceiling doors is just picturesque.
The food was a hit and beyond satisfactory. Our vendors had no issues with set-up or access. We are so impressed with the professionalism of the venue and are forever grateful for this experience !
Would HIGHLY recommend (especially for the stellar price).

Had a birthday party in March. Spoke to event mgr Evelyn several times about menu. She suggested to call the day of the party with finalized menu so that things can be ordered ahead of time and waiter would then be prepared to serve colder foods followed by hot apps. Called the day of the party. Spoke to Evelyn, again discussed the amounts and dishes. She said great, will pass it on to our waiter. When we arrived, table was not set up. Started moving tables. Waiter was sweet but had zero idea abt our conversation with Evelyn and none of the information about our order/what we anted and amount. Thank god we brought our paper that we prepped at home. So now the guests are arriving but we are just giving the order to our waiter. Asked to please bring out cold dishes first then hot apps. EVERYTHING came out at once. So we went from a completely empty table to overwhelmingly full with salads sushi bread hot stuff ALL there. Drinks took a while to get. One drink was still missing so couldn’t toast the first toast till it arrived. NO WAIT STAFF WAS AVAILABLE FOR OUR PARTY. What?? The waiter had our 13 person party and other tables. We were helping him clean/bus. Dirty dishes/glasses weren’t being taken away from the table and it looked gross when it was time for dessert we had to gather dirty stuff and put on a different table. We paid enough money to not have to bus our own table. Ridiculous and upsetting as we could not relax during a special day since we needed to manage everything.
Lobster mac-n-cheese had VERY MINIMAL minuscule amts of lobster. Other dishes were tasty.
Clearly we were failed by event manager, mgmt team who didn’t check on us or our waiter knowing wait staff didn’t come to work, and poor communication between them all. Disappointing. And then you automatically charge service fee?? Why? That should be at the customer’s discretion and BASED ON THE ACTUAL QUALITY OF SERVICE.

I've only been here once so far, but I'm looking forward to returning.
I sat at the bar and had a couple of beers and an appetizer, so my review is based on that experience.
Atmosphere is awesome - beautiful design, a huge bar with plenty of TVs, attractive dining area, and an outdoor patio with views of the lake.
Beer selection was very good.
Food - had the calamari appetizer and the portion was excellent for the price, and the calamari was cooked to perfection.
The dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen looked great - from pizzas, to sushi, and sandwiches/burgers.
Hosts were very friendly and professional and courteous - bartender was cool and service was good.
I'm definitely planning to return again soon.

I ordered baked Mac and cheese for pick up and when I got there the parking lot was full there was another side there but if my car tried to go up there I know the front would be in the ground so I had to make my own parking.. inside was busy and loud normal it’s a Friday … my problem is the portion size I paid 17 dollars for kids size dish… and it doesn’t behave a lick of salt 🧂… idk if am gonna try this place again ..my preference.

The food is great but everything else here is terrible. The servers seemed inattentive and when we tried to get the managers attention for some help, we were completely overlooked. The food didnt all come out at the same time and one of the meals didnt come out at all…. The set up on the floor is terrible too all the chair are back to back with another tables were you cant even walk through and neither can the servers… they were also dropping glasses or plates every 15 minutes which was crazy.

We’re returning patrons who live 5 minutes away. Today however, I came here after my wedding for a drink and some food with a party of 12. Everything was exceptional and we were very happy. After our meal a majority of our party left and we grabbed a drink and a small plate and sat outside (which the bartender told us to close out and sit down outside). The waitress was very kind and attentive. Shortly after a manager in sunglasses came over and told us there was a spending limit for the small out door table that we have to exceed in order to stay. This was extremely insulting, since we had just paid for an entire party of people to eat and drink.. also the fact that he was wearing sunglasses made it even more unprofessional and insulting. Needless to say we’ve always loved this place and have always had a great experience. But today was insulting and I don’t think we’ll be returning.

Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.

First time I went I got food poisoning. I thought I’d give it another shot. Brought my family and their wives, 8 of us total. When pulling in I was forced to valet park even though there were many spots open. My cousin who parked himself was yelled at by the valet guy for parking himself. But it gets worse…at 8:30 pm during my dinner with my family. B2 Bistro and the valet guy decide to call me to tell me there is no longer a valet and I should get my own keys. Not only was this disturbing to my dinner, but was absolutely unnecessary. When I approached the manager of the restaurant he said the valet guy was a separate company and he did not understand why he was doing this. Either way it was not appropriate to call me out to the parking lot while I was having dinner with my family. And when I confronted the valet guy he tried to actually fight me. The entire table I was with and I told the manger about this incident. I was not given any sympathy. They did not care. There were zero arrangements made to right their wrongs. I just had to deal with poor service and nobody cared. My take away is pretty good food extremely terrible service.

i’m never even the type to write reviews but first of all ginger ale, coke, & sprite were all flat upon arrival. then the appetizer plates were all dirty and literally had a square of cheese on it …. like please
for appetizers we got oysters, calamari, & lobster mac & cheese
lobster mac & cheese was mac and cheese soupy water w no flavor see photo attached. $35 for a couple pieces of lobster is crazy. the cheez its on top threw me off & made me nauseous.
waitress forgot to put my dads order in and didn’t do it until we reminded her halfway through our meal but it’s ok things happen.
i got the ny strip and it tasted burned and weird but undercooked at the same time. see photo attached. the mushrooms we got on top tasted so weird like the sauce tasted like powdered gravy. i ordered it medium and it was like medium rare or raw. we also got a seafood risotto which was ok but again had no seasoning and had the texture of baby food. the only thing that was good was the short rib.
total was $220 for 3 apps, 3 meals, & 3 drinks which isn’t a problem at all but i just don’t think it’s worth it
on the way home we all started feeling nauseous and got a stomach ache. i see a bunch of other reviews talking about food poisoning symptoms so be cautious. we’ve came here plenty of times idk if they changed the chef or what but it did not taste like this before.
