Sweet Waters Steak House

I love Sweet Waters!  Their food and service is consistantly great.  We live in Westfield and whenever we have guests come to visit, it's our go to place.  We almost always celebrate special occasions here too.  
Jeff the host somehow always remembers my name and always helps us pick out a great bottle of wine.
The bread is so good I have trouble resisting a second piece.  It's warm and crusty and soft in the middle and they always have soft butter on the table ready to go!Perfect.
I've never had a problem with the steaks here.  Cooked perfectly and I love their steak sauce.  It shocks me to see any negative reviews!
I have probably been here ten times over the years and never disappointed.

I'm really surprised by all the negative reviews about this place.  I went here for the first time with 6 other guys for our recurring steak night and had a delicious, great time. To begin, the staff was very courteous, allowing us to enjoy our pre-dinner drinks without pressuring us to order and move on.  We shared the slab bacon app, which was on-point delicious.  Probably the best thick-cut steakhouse bacon I've had.   I didn't really care for the waitering of our dinner rolls, though.  Would have been nice just to have a basket with the fresh bread (which was very tasty, btw).    I got the aged sirloin topped with mushrooms and onions.  It was served at a perfect med-rare, while the veggies + baked sweet potato were also cooked perfectly.  I haven't had a sirloin like this in a while.  It was savory....almost buttery. Perfectly trimmed, with not too much gristle.  My friends all enjoyed their dishes (the cowboy cut looked to be the big hit).    The night conclude with some coffee and conversation.  Again, we were not pressured to head out once we were finished.    The only thing keeping this from a 5 star performance were the prices - the steaks, sides ($5 a piece), and drinks ($6+)  were a little over priced for suburban NJ.  Maybe you could get away with this in NYC.  I really like the atmosphere of this place as well, not too classy or too casual.

We arrived at the restaurant without a reservation. The owners asked us if we would like a table that several others had refused to sit at. Hesitantly we agreed to look at it. I expected a table next to a kitchen or bathroom. Pleasantly surprised it was just a normal table by Boston standards. In fact I have sat at much smaller in many Boston and NYC restaurants.  We were also pleasantly surprised when our waiter told us our first drinks were on the house!  Our food was very tasty. I would agree, however, that the steak was cooked about a grade higher than I ordered (medium came out definitely medium well).  My boyfriend ordered the sea scallops which were really quite good.  I also enjoyed my cherry mojito and glass of moscato.  Both owners also checked on us and asked if we were comfortable.  They told us 3 others had refused the table!  This I can't understand, but maybe NJ restaurants are larger than Mass ones?  Overall we are definitely planning on returning the next time we are in Westfield.  I will just order my steak medium rare!
