My wife and I really enjoyed our bar experience while staying at the Tryp. Our bartenders Jason and Elvis were the best! So polite and great conversations. Definitely stop in if you are in the area!

Stopped in for lunch with a colleague and was blown away. I’m a serious burger critic, and this was easily one of the best I’ve had—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The sweet potato fries were a great bonus—crispy and just the right amount of sweet. Definitely coming back!

Was visiting Newark and stopped at Dutch’s for a quick drink before our city tour. Jason the bartender was amazing and treated my family with so much care. Lovely experience :)

Tried to get some dinner and they closed 2hrs before advertised time. Incredibly rude / unhelpful staff. Cute atmosphere and decor but staff sucked.

Rude unhelpful staff. They close earlier than advertised. They have a poster calling themselves a top 14 bar in Newark, so I guess this entire city is horrible.

The food was truly delightful, and it was heartwarming to be in such a beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere felt so serene and peaceful, creating an inviting space that made the experience even more special.

Happy to see other people recognize Jason (SP?) here. He's the bartender, and really does an exceptional job. I was coming through town on a solo trip, and he made an otherwise lonely night at the bar feel like I was visiting with old friends.
Our original review was two stars. We were staying at this hotel, so we gave Dutch’s another chance. = Jason at the bar, made the best Irish Coffee we’ve ever had - made fresh whipped cream too. Thank you Jason! We ordered a flat bread pizza and shrimp tacos, both good.
Breakfast = Hard pass. Might be because we came in towards the end of service - but - the food was underwhelming. I had French toast, that was so hard, I gave up on cutting it. Scrambled eggs were dry, bagels was so hard we didn’t bother with them. Coffee was good. Service was good.

During my recent stay at the hotel, I found myself having breakfast at the attached restaurant each morning. Unfortunately, the experience fell short due to being severely understaffed—only one waiter and one cook were on duty. This made for a frustrating breakfast service, as it’s impossible for one person to effectively manage 20 to 30 guests, especially during a busy conference period.
Lunch, however, was a different story. Initially, I enjoyed my meals for the first two days, but on my last visit, even with the restaurant nearly empty, the cook mistakenly served me a dry, cold dish. Clearly, there’s significant room for improvement here.
On a positive note, the ambiance is lovely—the decor and lighting create a pleasant atmosphere, and the bathrooms are impeccably clean. The staff members who assisted me were friendly and attentive, but to enhance the overall experience, it’s evident that more staff is essential to elevate both service and food quality.

The food was excellent. I had to stand at the cash register for a while before the two employees took a break from their conversation to take my order. When they did, they did a good job.
The western omelet was very good, with lots of everything, and it was well cooked. The rye toast was excellent. The plate was full of food. It's not a place you go for for the atmosphere. You go for delicious food, fast service and excellent coffee.
I got what I was looking for and would recommend it to anyone.
