New American Restaurants near Kearny, NJ

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“Wow. Just went to this place. It was delicious. Nice people and service. Clean. I had the Colombian eggs with Chicharron and rice. Sooooo good!!! I’ll be back.“

“Exquisite. Ben Hopkins - who runs the drink program, has created an unbelievable cocktail & drink program - there really is something for everyone including great N/A options. I’d say it’s worth it just for drinks alone, however, the food was also UNREAL. A celebration of low country cooking reimagined, with the nostalgia of a French bistro, with flavors and spices from around the world. Our server Jodi was not only excellent and attentive, she was fun, and spoke about the food like a chef. Even helped us course our meal so certain flavors wouldn’t mix. It was above and beyond.

5 stars. 10 stars. Just excellent. Go to Pitt’s. And thank you Ben!“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING. Accompanied by great for and drinks. The wait staff and hostess are Super Sweet.“

“Beautiful experience! Delicious food, nice place and GREAT service! Silvia Sánchez made sure we had the best birthday night! Absolutely impecable everything!

We tried the whole dessert menu! Tres leches and the green apple sorbet were our favorites! ✨✨✨
I’ll definitely be back !“

“Lovely outdoor dining looking up to the hotel Argo. Food totally delicious, we shared four appetizers (we were four) and each had a main. Ravioli filled with carrot - really first class. Warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert - yum! Service was perfect, no rushing but super responsive.“

“Our 40th Anniversary dinner was amazing last night! From the service to the food and meeting the chef after! What a wonderful restaurant especially for a special occasion! Thank you for an amazing night!“

“What a great first trip to Martha's for dinner. Loved the location near Pier 13 and nice modern vibe inside. Good friendly service all around. Had a first class expresso Martini from thr bar. I got the sausage fusilli entree which was amazing. Flavorful and the pasta was perfect. Highly recommend!“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“The Portuguese wine dinner. Food and wine excellent . Joao is a very nice and great human being but he talks very little about his wines and answers all questions as a true s'enfoutiste. From that standpoint it was a real disappointment, I learned nothing about the domaine, the soil, the wines, the vinification process. But overall it was a great dinner with great company unfortunately not what I came for.“

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“From the moment our party of 6 arrived on a Wednesday night, to the moment we left, we felt welcomed and valued at this beautiful restaurant. A member of our party was celebrating a birthday which was acknowledged immediately. The food and drinks were all delicious...the quail egg ravioli with white truffle and pulled oxtail being one of the most delectable bites I've ever had. We will absolutely return!“

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10“

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“Loved it, diffently going back, and they cater to vegetarian, and to anyone who dont drink alcohol, they have a great selection. Now my waiter, Mo, was the best. She went above and beyond, i really appreciated it. This will be my new, go out with friends and watch the games spot“

“The best part about this restaurant is the view. From the upper floors, you can see the Brooklyn Bridge, and from the other side, you can see the cityscape of Manhattan. The servers, even the manager, have a sour expression on their faces. It'd be hard to work in America without smiling like that.“

“The food and drinks are delicious.“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget. Not only did you provide exceptional service and amazing food but went above and beyond in every conceivable way to make her birthday the best one she has ever had. Best experience, food and service we have ever had. Thank you so very much.“

“My partner and I love ordering from here. We live in the neighborhood and it’s so convenient to have a place like this we can walk to for something delicious at a great price. I don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything off their menu; their pizza is the perfect Jersey pizza, their burritos are huge and taste SO fresh, and their cheeseburgers are like In N Out but WAY better quality. They also have desserts and the chocolate cake I tried was great. Love Aileen’s “

“We had such a great time, and while the food was good, it was the service that truly made the experience. Sara was absolutely amazing, so lively, friendly, and attentive. She anticipated our every need and made us feel completely taken care of. I’ve never experienced service quite like that!“

“Su comida es muy buena deliciosos sándwiches excelentes bebidas 👏🏻“

“Saga is a 10 points experience from start to finish. It is a wonderful place to celebrate a loved one and share the experience with friends. You arrive, they meet you with a choice of two drinks, that then the waitress takes to the table.

We chose the seasonal tasting menu which goes through multiple courses. Both menus were great. They were able to accommodate a vegetarian menu as we called with time. Each of the dishes were absolutely delicious.

We also did the wine pairing, the discovery selection of wines. We tried so many incredible wines. It was totally worth.

Staff were on point every step of the way. They were super kind, accommodating and walked us through each step with kindness.

Totally recommend Saga.“

“Had the chicken sandwich - absolutely phenomenal. Cant wait to come back for an entree. My girlfriend liked her burger, home made fries were soft and crunchy with bits of coarse salt. So good. Ed the owner was so hospitable and Victoria our server was very sweet. Highly recommend for casual date night with big flavor. Will be back - definitely recommend.“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“we enjoy going to “The Spot Mix Grill” Burgers are delicious 😋“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“The trendy upscale ambiance beckons potential diners from the hotel lobby to experience the culinary delights waiting within the restaurant. I dined at the Grille twice, and was pleasantly surprised both times. I highly recommend the salmon meal, which is beautifully plated and incredibly decadent! It was accompanied by grilled lime! My chicken meal was garnished with fresh herbs. I was thrilled to be able to have a large selection of fresh vegetables to go with my main course. The food and beverage manager A’Quanda H. managed the entire front end of the restaurant masterfully! She bartended and waited tables in a timely manner demonstrating constant courtesy and professionalism. I give the restaurant TWO THUMBS UP!“

“Food was really good. The Amish Chicken and Jerk Short ribs were delicious. Server was great. Kitchen seemed to get a bit backed up a peak time. That gave us an opportunity to taste their pull apart bread (whoa), which they brought out due to the wait.

We'll be going back.“
