I've been to this bar 3 times. Once when it just opened and twice within the last month or so. The…read morelast two times were not good experiences. Most recently was last night and that was my last straw. The music was incredibly and unnecessarily loud which they knew because they told us they'd turn it down before we got the chance to ask. Next, there was one waitress on the floor, clearly overwhelmed. Told us she would be back with water but came back almost 20 mins later. We ordered our wine when she came back because who knows how long it would take to receive it. Another 20 mins, maybe more. We watched her seat several groups and I literally had to scream across the room to get her attention and to remind her of the bottle we ordered, which she had the nerve to appear annoyed about. We asked her if we could move from our tables to a nearby couch which she said yes. Before we had a the chance to finish the bottle the GM comes over and tells us to move our seats and that he would take care of us (NEVER DID NOR DID HE CHECK IN). This is the same GM who asked me to give the place another try after the last issues we encountered where they screwed up our checks due their own carelessness. I should've raised more of an issue and questioned him more. But nevertheless we move to these two musty smelling seats. At that point we left and decided that would be the absolute last time. Go at your own risk!

The restaurant is a beautiful corner spot with wonderful lighting and a warm, inviting ambiance. Since it was our first time trying Georgian cuisine, we decided to share a variety of appetizers. Everything was exceptional, but the fried mushroom salad, khinkali, imeruli, and beetroot hummus were the standouts. Of course, we had to try the famous Adjaruli Khachapuri, and it was every bit as decadent as people say! The service was very attentive. We were served by someone in training who was incredibly diligent, making sure to follow up on every question we had about the menu. Between the tasty food, warm service, and perfect location, we were delighted with our experience. We will definitely be back!

The full marks are there for the waiter, the layout/ambiance and the cocktails…read more Got in with a reservation (please do book a reservation if you're going on a weekend night, because this place can get pretty full pretty quickly), and we're seated pretty much instantly. If you're a party of six skinny people, you'll do just fine in the chairs. If you're fat Americans like us, it's going to be a tight squeeze. They do a really smart thing. The window seats are pushed a bit away from the windows, so that when the waiter comes to take your order, they don't block the middle aisle where people are trying to walk or carry stuff to tables. Brilliant idea, and one which I wish more would do. The chairs are those mid century modern rattan backed chrome bottomed office chair looking guys. They're comfortable enough, even for us fats, but the rattan was starting to wear out. Hopefully, they'll see to getting them serviced, because it makes the place look a bit ragged. The tables were a lovely size, with plenty of space for our drinks, our food, and the beautiful bespoke charger plates they had on the table with Sihana branding on it. They kept the TVs and other built in furniture from the old Kinjo that used to be here. When we went, the stuff on the TVs was pretty generic. This is fine. Not a lot of places know what to do with those TVs. Back when the location used to be KInjo, they played either K-dramas, Anime, or other such themed shows on there with subtitles, so that it keeps the place on theme. This is NOT an allergy friendly place. If you're vegan, you're going to get either the cocktails, or a dry salad. Also, there's cocktails that have honey, so watch out for that as well. The falafel sandwich, which should be vegan anywhere else you get it, has egg in it. Not ON it, but IN it. The fries are all cooked in shared oil. How shared is the oil? One of our table mates got a mild allergic reaction (she has a shellfish allergy), and had to grab a Benadryl when she got home. It wasn't bad enough for her eyes to close up and have to go to the hospital, but her face was getting flushed, and she started getting really itchy. I'm sure the food was fine. I've been with this group dining out several times. If they're seriously enjoying themselves, they'll usually be raving about what's on their plate, and let the waiter know how good it all was. That didn't happen here. Everyone LOVED the appetisers. That cheesy bread situation was a huge hit. The cocktails are strong, and beautifully made. Well balanced with the right blend of sweetness, tartness, and slight burn of alcohol. Absolutely no complaints there. When the bill came, there's a credit card processing fee. I'd say the place is good. Here's why they're getting full marks: The waiter let us know IMMEDIATELY that there will be nothing for me to eat. He didn't have to go to the kitchen to ask what was safe. He knew immediately that there's nothing at all on the menu that's safe for me. That level of knowledge tells me that you've got a waiter who takes pride in knowing his job, and does it to the best of his ability. You've got an absolute gem of a wait staff in general. I wasn't bothered, because I live very close by and can eat at home. Just know that I'll never set foot in there again. I'm not sure that anyone else would be too eager to go back either. I've been to steak houses that had more option.

I have been dying to go to All Points West Distillery for a long time! After trying their vodka at…read morea Yelp event a few years ago I was sold. I decided to do their tour on a Saturday with a group of friends and I'm so glad we did! This place is definitely one of Newark's hidden gems! The distillery takes walk-ins but I would 100% recommend doing a pre-booked tour. Prior to your visit, buy your tour ticket on their website or Groupon. The ticket comes with a drink, a tour of the facility, tastings, and a souvenir! The owner Gil, is knowledgeable & so welcoming! He gave us an informative tour and allowed us to taste a few of his great products. If I had to choose two favorites I would go with the Malt & Grain Pot Still Whiskey and the Cathouse Pink Pepper Gin. The whiskey, gin, and vodka are all so smooth. You really can't go wrong with any choice! The bartender was amazing & gave us great conversation along with recommendations for drinks! This place is BYOF (bring your own food) so feel free to order a pizza or a light dinner from somewhere nearby! This was an awesome experience & I will definitely be back!

The Drinks range from 9.00 to 12.00 i believe. however, they are made very well and strong. Gil is very helpful with organizing private tours and small parties. you will receive tastings of whatever is currently in process. i personally hate Gin and whiskey, but i am drawn to the licorice notes in the gin and the smooth taste of the whiskey here. he has so much information about the local distillery history, the process of making liquor, and overall interesting knowledge about alcohol. tour can be 20 to 30 mins. street parking outside, and ive always been lucky to get a spot! my only complaint is how hot it is in here. ive come here in april and in july, both times i was covered in sweat.

The food is probably the closest you can get to actual Spanish tapas but what i love most about this place is that everythings got flavorrrrr For our table of 4 we got CROQUETAS with their house cured chorizo- very good POLLO FIORENTINA- chicken was so tender and packeddd with flavor! BARRIGUITA- plentiful serving for a tapa, we loved the potatoes it came with too CHICHARRON DE POLLO- flavorful chicken and easier to eat than you think TARTAR- delish but small Chipirones- sooo delicately breaded you can barely tell, was great COSTILLA A LA PLANCHA- plentiful for a tapa, we recommend cooking for longer since its traditionally a tough cut of beef SAUTED VEGETABLES- tastey and not mushy thankfully!

When I was there, they had a DJ playing, and it added energy without being too loud or overwhelming. The Service was very good, the waiter answered and helped with all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.

Good place for tapas!…read more We arrived early on a Tuesday (4:30 PM) and we were the only patrons present for 1 1/2 hours. Perhaps this place crowds up later on, especially on weekends? Rioja for him and spicy margarita for me. He chose incorrectly and joined the margarita train after he finished his wine. We shared several tapas...croquettes, calamari, veggie and chicken empanadas, olives, and the traditional paella. We ordered too much, as per. Everything was delicious. The paella rice was more of a risotto, but good nevertheless. The smoke detector was doing that annoying-ass low battery chirp the entire time. Not fun! Clean and efficient staff. Good drinks!

Tabitha, the waitress who watched over us, was very helpful and solicitous. The planning was seamless. Francisco worked with my daughter, with me, and with our florist to make sure that everything went smoothly. He answered all our questions. We asked for a microphone for speeches and an extra table for photos. The restaurant was able to receive our decorations as early as 10:30am for a 4:00pm event and disposed of them afterwards. Find out about the rooms before deciding which one you want. The Flamenco Room is on the main floor and is spacious and pleasant. The wine room is in the basement with steps. I'm told it's darker and smaller but it would be quieter and more private. I loved Mompou before our party and now I love it even more.
