Colts Neck residents familiar with the Colts Neck Inn Steak & Chop House will notice a difference the next time they dine at the restaurant. For one thing, the restaurant is now rebranded as the Colts Neck Inn Steak House. But perhaps more noticeable is the complete overhaul of both the interior and exterior.
The renovation was long overdue says George Mavrookas, whose father, Louis, owns the spot. He says it’s been more than 20 years since the last renovation. The project took four months to complete, but the Colts Neck Inn Steak House is now ready to serve. Gone is the outdated dark mahogany woods and burgundy and green color palettes. In its place is a mixture of grays, blacks and golds. “It’s a sexier, more modern look,” George says. The whole interior, including the dining room, bar, and banquet rooms have all been completely renovated. This even extends to plates, flatware, and booths.

An Updated Menu for Modern Times
The menu still boasts traditional steaks, filets, and ribeyes (which are hand cut and never frozen). However, these classic dishes are plated with new sauces and sides. For example, the ribeye steak was previously served with a baked potato and vegetable of the day. But now, they serve it with fingerling potatoes, grilled asparagus, chimichurri, and steak sauce. “We wanted to make sure that each plate feels unique,” George explains.
New to the Colts Neck Inn Steak House are contemporary dishes such as sushi and a raw bar. They also serve chicken parmigiana, chicken dishes, salmon, and halibut. Meanwhile, the kids’ menu offers options like pasta and chicken tenders with French fries.
As for the new liquor menu, they offer specialty martinis like Peach Passion. This combinesGrey Goose Peach + Rosemary Vodka with Peach & Passion Fruit and bubbles. The Spiced Pear is also popular, with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, pear nectar, fresh lemon, and cinnamon. Signature cocktails include the Apple Bourbon Smash and Spicy Pineapple Margarita. Of course, they also have draft beers, champagne, sparkling wine, and white, red, or rose wines.
