    Avocado Toast
    Nadine H.

    The Newarker at the Hilton Newark Airport has a terrific Avocado toast that comes with a salad with two eggs on the side. The coffee was terrific and plenty of it but the orange juice was the Tropicana bottle juice. The breakfast buffet was still not available because of the pandemic. The ambiance was nice, the seating cozy but the music was rather loud for an early morning breakfast. The gentleman that waited on us, which I think was the manager, was curt but very friendly with people he knew. The total check was approximately 40.00 for two depending on the items you selected. As always I encourage you to try it yourself and post a review.

    Potato Soup with chives and apple gastriques
    Aimee L.

    They get pretty busy at Angie's which is basically a bar for the Newarker, is outside the restaurant in the Hilton lobby and where our party usually sat. The menu, for whatever reason, is more extensive at the bar than in the restaurant even though your entree choices are exactly the same. Dined in Newarker for breakfast and Angie's for dinner over a week recently for work from Tuesday to Friday. Food rates somewhere between 2.5 to 3, service is a 5 and prices knock it all down to about a 2. You're a captive audience, though, especially when nor'easters blow in unless you want to wait an hour or more for delivery or brave walking through Elizabeth. We opted for convenience for all but one night. And speaking of that 5 point service, Hilton Newark Airport management must have had a huge pep rally because the staff are immensely friendly compared to last time. I mean breakfast and dinner. Over the top, sometimes, and you start to wonder what's really in the water. No empty cup goes unnnoticed, checks come and get paid quickly, and dirty dishes disappear. With cheer. The downside, of course, is the captive prices. Members of my group loved the French onion soup. A small bowl cost $11. I didn't care for the potato soup with courgettes, even less when it cost $10. Others opted for the half chicken, skirt steak, rib eye, wedge salad or burgers. Fries are meh. With the exception of the French onion soup, everyone gave the food an "ok." Entrees cost $20 - 30 each for a fairly small portion. I'll grant the Margherita flatbread was a fair size and fed me for three meals at $17.50 but the quality was middling. The true mind blower was the identically priced shrimp cocktail which came sitting atop a bed of cocktail sauce (yuk) and had to wipe off. 5 medium shrimp for $18? That's one expensive half lemon. On the other hand, the breakfast buffet starting at 6 AM week days is fairly good. They serve a choice of pork or turkey sausage links, blueberry blintzes, grits, oatmeal, scrambled eggs and a daily potato and egg dish. One day they had bacon and egg empenadas, another mini quiche lorraine and another day an excellent egg white frittata. I also really liked the spinach and quinoa potato hash! Pair that with some dry wheat toast and you have something that while not necessarily healthy is hearty enough for lots of laps around EWR!

    Newarker Cobb salad and a Mai tai
    Nikki R.

    When I first read all the horrid reviews for this place, my heart sank. With a long night of work ahead and no time to venture back into the city, I headed downstairs for what I was sure would be a disappointment - I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. Though this Hilton isn't known for the friendliest of hotel staff, my waitress was pleasant and attentive and checked on me several times during the meal, giving suggestions when I asked about certain options. I settled on a Newarker Cobb salad because it boasted bacon and avocado, in addition to chicken and tomatoes. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and amount of topping. There must've been a whole avocado, a lot of chicken and bacon, and more tomato than I usually ratio for myself. Overall, great salad. The Mai tai was decent - I've had better, but certainly not bad at all. I also had the molten cake for dessert - and while yes, I've had better, I'd definitely have this one again too.

    Great food and service for a hotel restaurant. Ambience is OK. Tends to get crowded. Excellent selection of bourbon that can be expensive

    The food is good, particularly the burger. The prices are WAY too high and other than the bartender, who is great, the staff is not helpful.

    Girls' night rule #1: pick a place with a vibe. Girls' night…read morerule #2: the food better back it up. Burke's Tavern understood the assignment. None of us had been before, so we walked in blind, except not really, because the second we stepped inside the vibe hit us. Dimmed lights (but not "can't read the menu" dim), candles glowing, plants everywhere, music just loud enough to feel cool but not loud enough to ruin the gossip. Cozy. Chill. Cute. The holy trinity. It wasn't packed, so we had seating options and landed at a round table in the middle: elite positioning, honestly. Door and front windows on one side, bar view on the other. Prime people-watching real estate. Now let's discuss the important part: the food. We ordered strategically (read: everything we wanted). Lamb meatballs - 10/10. Holy crap. I don't know who is back there doing what, but please continue. Burrata pizza - absolutely delicious. Gone in record time. Gochu-Crispy-Chikin - no notes. Million Dollar Chicken - appropriately named. Fish 'N' Chips - zero complaints across the table. And that's the thing: not a single person in the group had an issue. No side-eye. No "it's good, but..." Just clean plates and happy energy. Now. Parking? Disrespectful. It's on a corner (love that), but finding parking took effort (do not love that). Would I let that stop me? Absolutely not. Parking be damned. I will circle. I will walk. I will manifest a spot. Because this place is such a vibe that it's already secured a return visit -- brunch is calling, and I need to see what this place feels like when the weather warms up. Girls' night/date night/ANY night approved.

    We were in Newark a late afternoon on a Sunday and looking for a burger. Went to another famous…read morelocal place and it was closed so decided to try Burke's Tavern. The atmosphere and restaurant look great. It has a good vibe and the service was great. Let me tell you about the burger, not the best, they give you a slider size patty, overcooked and served on a bun that comes apart when you grab it. I'm not sure about the rest of the menu, but not a burger place. Now the chocolate cake with the raspberry ice cream--wow! This was the best part of the meal. I'm giving this place 4 stars even though I didn't like the burger because that's all I tried. I'll come back and revise this rating up/down if I come back and try other menu items. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

    We hosted a Wedding Welcome Dinner at Moonshine Modern Supper Club to kick off our son's wedding…read moreweekend, bringing together family and friends from near and far. From our very first conversation, Vic was easy to work with, offered helpful advice, and made the entire planning process simple and stress-free. Communication was clear, decisions were easy, and we felt completely supported throughout. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The appetizers were delicious and beautifully presented, dinner was excellent, and the desserts were fantastic -- and the warm chocolate chip cookies are a MUST. Our guests are still talking about them! The staff was friendly, professional, and personable all evening. Service felt attentive without ever being intrusive, and everything ran smoothly. The décor and atmosphere are upscale, modern, and fun, with a youthful energy that made the night feel festive and special. We are so grateful for such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend Moonshine for any celebration.

We arrived around 3pm on a Saturday…read moreafternoon , to my surprise the place was completely empty and I was wondering why since it was a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon . I soon realized why . Sat at the bar and the bartender hands us the drink menu , no greetings , no good afternoon . The kind of thing you would expect from a bartender since they would want to keep you at the bar . We each grabbed a drink and that was it . They must train their staff to be more welcoming and pleasant . We left after one drink because the vibe was just dead . Do not recommend .
