I needed a place to try in the Newark area and this came up in my search. I love sushi so I wanted…read moreto give it a try. Tried the tower as an app which had mixed fish, avocado, rice and sauces - this was great... which I felt meant the rolls would be promising. Sadly not - tried the crazy roll and spicy girl. Not spicy and nothing crazy about it LOL, I felt the tempura / crunch was stale.. my friend felt the roll was too salty. They also only had less salt soy sauce, I normally like regular soy sauce so I dunno if that also made a difference in my experience. Overall it's an okay sushi place, I wouldn't go back again but they do have great happy hours for those that want to give it a try!

I stopped for a take out, got the steak frites to go…read more The lady working who took my order was nice and prompt. The food was good for a standard airport hotel, the steak was a little a bigger than 12oz, the glaze sauce on the side was really good, and the fries were crispy, and the steak was cooked really well. I asked for medium rare and came out perfect. Overall pleasant experience, would come back, nice staff, good solid hotel food.

Great service, attentive bartender, a nice pour. $15 a drink, great way to end a busy work week. Crème brûlée was not a favorite. Strawberries were fresh but pastry cream was too thick and not creamy at all. I took 2 bites and was done, did not want it to go. Pass on this, not worth $10.

I also loved the cheeseburger and the cheese fries. The staff and our waitress were phenomenal and very attentive! Bingo was lots of fun and free to play!! Bingo prizes included free rounds of drinks, free shots, free bottles of liquor, and gift certificates to the Vic tavern!!

I returned to the Vic and once again had a great time. This time my wife and I went on a Friday…read moreevening and there were less people than on Saturdays. There were plenty of seats available in the restaurant area (where the band plays). Note that there's a separate bar area but if you sit there you won't be able to enjoy the live music. In terms of music there was a duo playing (Chris and Nick) and they were great! They played classic rock, top songs and all the good stuff. I will definitely be back next time they come back to the Vic. I believe they play there on a monthly basis. Service was great as usual. Our waiter (I believe his name is Jason) was super friendly and the waitress who was not serving our table but who remembered us from last time is also very friendly. Food was very tasty. Their Margherita pie is delicious ($13.95 for the large pie) and so is their fries with cheese ($3.95 for the small one which served 2 people well). I paid $10 for a pitcher of beer and my wife $6 for a glass of wine (which they refilled and didn't charge). I wish more people knew about this place because it was a great Friday night, great weather but there wasn't a lot of people there. Not all bands that play there are as good as Chris and Nick but there are some other good bands like Red Rox and a few others. Check their Facebook or Instagram page for the line ups.

We periodically visit the American Dream, and we always like to try something new when we do. The…read moremall features some nice food options as compared to other malls in the area. We have been meaning to try Marcus Live for some time and got the chance today. We arrived early, so seating was ample. It is a comfortable place to be, with good music, rock and roll memorabilia, and a warm ambiance. Service was kind, attentive, prompt, and efficient. Entire space was spotlessly clean and well-kept. My other half and I each opted for the double smash burger and truffle fries. Fries were excellent: crispy, well-seasoned, not greasy, and flavorful. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and bacon and onions were cooked perfectly. I wished I had a second one. Is it the best burger I've had? Honestly, no. But it's up there for sure. I enjoyed it enough for it to make me go back, which says a lot. Overall, a very nice experience. Will definitely return.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday with a large group of 10 because Yard House was packed and we were…read moretoo hungry to wait 45 minutes for a table there. This place had plenty of empty seats so we were able to get seated quickly. They asked if we wanted the tables combined and we said sure, and they combined it into... an L shape...?? How strange haha there was definitely enough room to keep them straight. We were there to celebrate someone's birthday so we made the birthday girl sit in the crook of the L so she could swivel and talk to everyone lol. I ordered the B&G prime burger and I think the waitress was confused because she said it was a smash burger and would come with crispy onions... the patties were definitely not smashed and there were no onions at all. I think she was thinking of the double smash burger. The patties were also not seasoned properly, so it tasted bland to me and there wasn't that nice crust the seasoning would have formed (iykyk). We also got the cornbread as an app, which was good, especially with the honey butter and the jam it came with, but it was really small and not worth the $12 at all. They were also out of several items like the deviled eggs, NY strip, and grilled branzino. I don't know how common it is for restaurants to run out of menu items so early in the day (it was like 2pm) but just something to note. Although our server was nice and I'm glad we were able to get seated right away, I probably won't come back here. The food is just average and portions are too small for the price. Also just fyi, the large group gratuity they included on our bill was 20%. I feel like I usually see 18% at other places.

Only giving it 4 stars because the day we went there it was busy and service was a lil all over the place.

Food was soo good that we will defo return for more.

Small but vibrant bar area, background TV with el fútbol, and a small cup of dried kernels to start. (Just like in Ecuador, but smaller kernels.) My friend ordered an apple cocktail, which he said tastes good and masks the alcohol content. With no tap water here I choose a mango beverage. Disappointed - the ice crushed inside diluted the flavor. I just wanted mango. :( There was quite a long wait for appetizers, considering we were the only 2 people here at 7:30 on a weekday. (I'm sure this place is busier on weekends or nights. Maybe.) My friend's authentic big kernel corn "is really good". My El Tegrillo app (breakfast for dinner!) is also really really good. Great mix of flavors and textures and ingredients. Note that you'll not want for portions here. Order small or bring a lot home. Caveat emptywalletor. I put some appetizer aside when the entree arrived. Excellently seasoned chicken, beans, rice, sauces - South America has made its way north. And some of that is also coming home with me Best of all: It's not in the trafficky part of the Ironbound. Verdict: Glad I had an excuse to visit the only Ecuadorian in the area. A solid though pricey 4-5 stars. The friendly service and homegrown nature gives the edge!

I came across this place on TikTok after seeing a local creator review and decided to give it a…read moretry. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, things felt off. After driving around for over 30 minutes trying to find parking in a notoriously difficult area in Newark to find parking, we finally parked about seven blocks away. When we arrived around 6 p.m., the restaurant was completely empty. The hostess and waitstaff were all sitting on their phones at the hostess stand, and the rest of the staff was seated in the kitchen. It took a few minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We were seated in the floral themed area that feels like you're outdoors but aren't. The chairs were uncomfortable and kept sliding against the door. From the start, our waitress seemed annoyed by us and made us feel like we were not welcomed. We ordered the mussel appetizer, which came with corn, tomato, and a cilantro vinaigrette and it was delicious. For our main dishes, we decided to share the seafood soup and get the Pobre Steak, which included steak, white rice, sweet plantains, and fries. I wanted to order the Tallarine pasta with steak as well, but when I started ordering, the waitress abruptly took the menu and walked away before I could finish. She seemed irritated when I asked to upgrade the white rice to Chaufa rice as shown on the TikTok and other photos, but she said that wasn't an option. I decided to not to order the pasta for myself when she decided to come back because I already knew it was time to go. When the food arrived, the soup came without rice, which struck me as odd since most Spanish style soups include it. When I asked, the waitress said the rice was extra, so I ordered a side. The soup arrived about 15-20 minutes before the other entree. The flavor was decent, but the seasoning had an off, almost stale taste, and the yuca was undercooked. The Pobre Steak was taken to go because we were uncomfortable and the eggs on top were partially raw, and the fries were undercooked. The steak itself was well seasoned and tasty, though. Which shocked me honestly even though it needed a little char. The only other customers who came in during our visit were American and another waitress seemed equally annoyed but did have a better attuitude than ours. When the bill came, the server said, "I'll wait for your card," as if we were about to leave without paying, despite not having complain once. Also, the restaurant adds an automatic 18% gratuity regardless of party size. While I usually tip generously, I find mandatory gratuity for small groups frustrating especially when the service was bad and made us feel unwelcome. We had planned a relaxed date night, but instead, we left and went to our original choice for drinks, apps, and dessert. Overall, it was not a great experience, and I won't be returning.

We had 6 of us. Every single thing everyone ordered looked incredible. (I mean, I don't really care for muscles, but I could absolutely see the love cooked into even that dish.) I wish them every success and I'm already looking forward to visiting again next time I'm in the area!

"Would you like some lemoncello? Orangcello? Anythingvello?"…read more Angelo, one of the owners, is talking to the table next to us, but already I know I've found a second home. "You won't want to cook anymore" he tells us a bit later. He's not wrong. I had the fish special, cod, served puttanesca, with mash potatoes and spinach. He had the rigatoni bolognese. Perfectly cooked pasta. "Everything is homemade," Angelo explained later. Smart and fairly well-priced wine list. We asked why the 2020 Carparzo Brunello di Montalcino was so low priced, and learned the wine has been priced the same since their father closed their Upper East Side location and the kids opened in Newark. "New York food at NJ prices," Angelo explained. "I've never had tiramisu I've liked better", husband told me. "I've never had flan Ive liked better" I told him. (It is coconut flan.) Great service. Wonderful spot. And Bon Jovi has been in twice, most recently he brought his wife. Enough said.
