Best Bars And Lounges in Newark

Not our first rodeo here and it never disappoints. Great food, great ambiance and great service make it a worthwhile journey. Wished we lived closer to dine on a more regular basis. We toned it down a little last night with a shared Autumn Salad, Elk Osso Bucco, Four Hour Short Ribs and exquisite desserts and a double expresso. Everything was simply outstanding.

Was overall good. Sat us at a table that should not have been a table. We were basically on top of another 2-top and in their conversation, and my wife kept turning off the lights accidentally because the light switch was directly behind her head. I had put in the reservation notes that it was my birthday, and it was never mentioned, and I thought where they sat us was not in line with what 2 people celebrating a birthday would want. Brought us Aqua Panna when they asked if we wanted still or sparkling. That always feels like a money-grab gimmick to me. The default should be to offer tap (which is also still). They include a 20% gratuity automatically, which is fine, but good to know going in. We had oysters and a Caesar salad to start, which were very good. My wife got the lobster ravioli special (delicious) and I got a burger. Burger was pretty good. Heavy on the fried onions. I ordered medium and it came out rare/medium rare, but still tasty. Will go back, but probably not for a special occasion.

Another fantastic special paring dinner. Can’t wait for the next one.

Everything was perfect for a special romantic dinner. Amazing food, beautiful views from the city, impeccable service and attention to detail. This is an experience on its own. Highly recommend if you can afford it (we had the tasting menu).

Four of us stopped in for lunch. We all ordered salads and enjoyed them very much, particularly the Cobb. The only tiny negative was that the salmon was slightly overcooked. Our server was excellent and we appreciated the quiet booth where we could talk.
