Wine Bars in Newark

“We decided to go to dinner at Firebirds. I had been once and was not impressed; however my husband had never been there. I have to say the food was good. Cooked exactly the way we wanted. The only draw back we had is the portions of food that you receive for the price that you pay. We felt like we were robbed. We don’t over eat so when I say we had small portions, we really had small portions. The dessert was even small portions for the price that you’re required to pay. The five very thin layers of lemon cake were good but the slice was very thin for $10.25. Out bill was $76.30 for two and I would have no problem if we had an appetizer and alcoholic drinks but there was none of that because we don’t drink. We each had a soda because the lemonade was too tart. The server was very pleasant and on time with everything. We tipped her well as we should have. Not sure I can return there. A little more light would be appreciated if I did return.“

“Caffe Gelato never disappoints! This time, I had the mussels with chorizo appetizer, which had a delicious cream sauce. One of the best mussels dishes I've ever had! For dinner, my wife had the pasta with lobster and scallops, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the Costoletta alla Milanese, a breaded and pounded veal chop not unlike a schnitzel. It was delicious! Cocktails were well prepared, as always, and there are many wines to choose from, both by the bottle and by the glass.“
