New American Restaurants in Newark, NJ

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Came here with a friend to grab dinner before seeing a show in NJPAC. Service was fantastic - our waitress was a delight, the table was never unnecessarily crowded with plates, and my glass seemed to never run out of water. The atmosphere is pleasant, we opted for couch seating since the tables were all reserved and the positioning of the chairs we sat at was a little awkward with a large potted plant and the table itself, but all in all a lovely place. Lots of neat artwork on the walls and good ambient lighting. The food however had me disappointed... I opted for something easy and reliable, a chicken pot pie. When it came out it looked GREAT, but when I started to dig in I realized the biscuit crust on top was very difficult to break apart, and trying a bite made me realize the biscuit was... Tough? And chewy? Genuinely not sure how that was managed but it was unpleasant. The actual filling was fine enough - the vegetables (carrots and potatoes in particular) could have all been cooked down to be softer but they were perfectly edible. That said, the filling was pretty flavorless. The chicken in the filling? FANTASTIC. But only by itself, everything else drowned out the chicken and the delicious flavor of the chicken unfortunately was not enough to flavor the rest, so it was a bland and tough chewy mess that was difficult to eat. We got dessert after and I opted for a slice of cheesecake - the cheesecake was phenomenal. Incredibly airy, light, creamy, and flavorful. It had a raspberry sauce/compote of some kind that I wasn't fond of but that's a personal preference, objectively it was well made and delicious overall.

All things considered, I'd rate this place 3.5 stars if I could.“

“salmon cake platter with grits was great!“

“Food is good, I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I do however recommend that you ask for the price of drinks prior to ordering especially if it’s not during happy hour. Drinks are way too expensive. The pricese are not listed on the menu One glass of Sangria $19.50. I was caught of guard with that one , imagine my surprise when I received my bill seeing that sangria was $39 for two glasses. Had I known that I would have just drank water and bought my own sangria for less at the local liquor store or went to a different bar. Also; there are a few things on the menu with no prices listed. Just ask for the price before ordering . I feel that the prices for the food such as lamb chops and seafoods are fair, but the drinks. Nope; Sorry not sorry. $19.50 for one glass of sangria is out right ridiculous and unnecessary. Other than the overpriced drink; everything else is good.“

“We stopped in on a whim before heading to Prudential Center, had the most beautiful and tasty drinks and delicious dinner, we split Salmon Sliders, Lobster tacos an order of maple buffalo wings, and the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had! The staff and service was amazing, everything had perfect timing and the atmosphere was everything we were looking for! After the show we even went back for dessert! Ordered more drinks along with their cognac bread pudding and sweet potato cheesecake. I have no idea how they make everything so delicious but this will forever be my spot when going to PruCenter from now on! 10/10, 5 stars all around, HIGHLY recommended!!“
