I went on a Sunday at lunch time. You have the option to dine in their patio, but it was too warm…read moreso I stayed indoors. It was empty and pleasantly cool. The interior is chic and modern and the service is excellent. They had a birthday party going on in the patio and I noticed the attentiveness of the staff in managing and executing the orders. I had an exotic take on the caprese salad served bamboo shoots and it was mind blowing. They serve bread with butter in the side and olives, complementary. The butter was seasoned with herbs. The seared tuna was served with soy sauce and chop sticks, but it was so well seasoned on its own, that I didnt use soy sauce at all. It was delightful, and what I appreciated was how they serve water...something so bangle as a glass of water is served with ice and a wedge of lemon or lime (your choice). It is a detail that you encounter only in Michelin starred restaurants. It is worth the price. Kearny is a hidden gem, and Qtal is a welcomed addition. It felt zen.

Once we were seated I noticed the restaurant was cute and clean. There were quite a few tables filled and the server told us he was short staffed and was also serving drinks at the bar. I thought it was going to be a rough experience since he was short staffed but he did a great job! He was friendly, attentive but not overbearing. The appetizers, drinks and food were all well made and all came out within a reasonable amount of time. Desserts were also good. My only critique is the crème brûlée was not set and once we took a spoon to it the inside was quite runny. Other than that everything else was great! Someone give that guy a raise!

I'm so glad we finally made it to The Greeks!…read more Parking: Street parking (some with meters and others without) Payment: Cash only. They didn't give us an itemized receipt when we went up to pay but it seemed to just about add up. Vibe: Warm and inviting. Service: So friendly! We were immediately greeted and seated. I love to see a family-owned business and they couldn't have been more inviting. Food and drinks: We were especially drawn to come dine here since they have Freddo Cappuccino on the menu (we fell in love with it in Greece and can't find it anywhere here). Their version definitely took us back so definitely recommend it! I got the Golden pancakes which were fluffy and tasted very good (even with them being plain I was impressed). My husband got the Greek omelette which came with toast and home fries. He said it was good but noted the tomatoes made it a little more watery than he would've hoped and the char on the outside almost tasted like pancake. Overall he still was very happy with his choice.

The Tiramisu latte was calling my name too. My son got the chocolate Freddo with coconut whip on top - both drinks were delicious The Taylor ham was packed with Taylor ham! Salty and savory which is what I wanted. Then a bite of the lava pancakes - the sweetness with the savory yummy. The pancakes tbh were okay. The pistachio sauce had a bit of after taste and the pancakes were off like they were crumbly and not soft and buttery fluffy taste. I'll definitely be back to try a different caffeinated drink and maybe come for lunch!

A friend and I stopped into Keeper's yesterday, before the Iron Maiden concert. Our choice was…read moreeasy, as it's the only bar/restaurant in the immediate area of Sports Illustrated Stadium. The food was very good. I had the pita & hummus side and the Caesar salad. I like how they grind up the croutons into flakes; that's the only way I truly enjoy croutons. My friend had a fish burger and enjoyed it. I like the vibe of the place; lots of unique and sometimes odd photos framed on the walls. Plenty of soccer pics, of course, since they're next to a soccer stadium. We had a difficult start to our visit. I don't know if there was some confusion about our table or what, but as the extended, continuous wait for service dragged on, we considered leaving. Then the hostess, Rachel, noticed we still hadn't been served and came over and got our order. She then stopped by every five or ten minutes to see if we needed anything else, and took our food order too. I truly appreciate Rachel's assistance; she's a perfect employee and really turned around a potentially lame dining experience. Twenty minutes in, I'd have said I'm never coming back here, but the way she turned it around, I would visit Keeper's again.

I would leave no stars, but yelp doesn't allow…read more I'll start by saying the bartender Aaron is sweet and tries his best. The server who I believe is Anastasia, careless in the worst way. Terrible attitude. Food is always inconsistent, so many changes, down to the bread the burger is on. No host staff, which I understand because business only picks during game days, but Ive been here plenty of times to find no one watching the door or caring about any impression. No servers around, the bartender in and out etc. Each time I've come, it only disappointed me more and more, no exaggeration. Nick, I believe is the only manager, and it looks to me like doesn't care about the place, the guests, or anything happening around him. I now go to Joia, a friendly and cute Portuguese spot up the block, where I find less BS and better service.

Their hand-cut fries are always on point too. But what makes The Yard really special is the people. Kai has created a space that feels rooted in Black joy, community, and genuine hospitality. He and Niy are always so kind, and every time I leave, I feel seen and appreciated. There are plenty of places to get a burger, but very few places that make you feel connected to a city. I'm newer to Newark and already feel that way about The Yard. I hope they're here forever.

We had a great time sitting on the lawn and celebrating this glorious day with our brothers and sisters.

Hobby's is a Newark institution, and for good reason, as it offers some of the best deli meats and…read morelunch sandwiches in the area. Beyond the food, it's family-owned, and the family happens to be some of the kindest people you'll find. It's a rare day where one of them doesn't stop by the table to ask how your day is going, or how the meal went. As for the meal itself, you'll be greeted by a heaping bucket of various pickles on the table. The menu is enormous, with all the typical hot and cold sandwiches you'd expect from a great deli. Finish off the meal with a tasty cookie or dessert - i love both the black and whites or the linzer tarts.

Basic seating with nothing fancy. A full jar of fresh pickles is on the table. The pastrami is second to none. Seriously. You get a generous portion of pastrami on rye. Greasy, fatty, just perfect! The onion rings are the best. They are famous for a reason. I go a few times a month so, I'm always greeted by name and promptly seated. The food always arrives shortly after the order is taken.
