They “had a super lovely time and they told me that they loved the booth,” said Balthazar maitre d' Zouheir Louhaichy, according to another McNally message on social media. “They also left 50% tip to server Lorraine and a compliment.”
Balthazar is a trendy hot spot known for celebrity sightings and its steak frites. The restaurant and its owner made headlines in 2022 when TV funnyman James Corden was accused of mistreating staff during a visit, according to USA Today. Corden denied raising his voice.
Before the Balthazar double dip, the Boss hit Roberto’s Freehold Grill in downtown Freehold multiple times over the holidays.
“The Boss stopped by the kitchen to spread some holiday cheer. Happy Holidays!!! My hometown …” stated owner Roberto Diaz in a Dec. 15 social media post.

Springsteen hit Roberto's after a bout with peptic ulcer disease halted the E Street Band's 2023 tour across America and Canada for the rest of the year in September. The postponed shows have been rescheduled for 2024, and stadium shows in Europe, and a concert in Las Vegas, have been added as well.
Diaz was unavailable to comment for this article. Roberto's Diner was full of people and he was behind the grill when a reporter called on Saturday.
