Used open table for reservation, so make sure to make a reservation to guarantee a good seating overlooking river of you want. Food 10/10 First time visiting and food was amazing. Especially the lamb chops good portion of 4 chops for sharing and Cooke duo perfection you can request medium or medium well temperature. Seared branzino was also sooo tasty. The seasonings and the crispy finish was memorable and full of flavors filet and also for two people. Cesar also a good size for sharing. Lobster risotto was very cheesy and was more like a macaroni texture so my friend exchanged for chicken which was also full of flavor. Drinks also unique I had a gin with ube essence and quite refreshing.

Grabbed brunch over the weekend recently at Local. We got here on a Sunday and it was pretty quiet…read more Bit surprising in my opinion as I thought I'd see people sitting outside to eat enjoying the views of Lower Manhattan. I guess they needed a break on Sunday in Newport. We took advantage of some deals on InKind to eat here. For brunch, we split a Mezze platter. I actually thought this was very tasty. The presentation was quite thoughtful too. I ordered a veggie burger and that was super filling. Usually I would opt for a breakfast item, but the burger seemed hard to resist. Service was a bit on the slow side, but wasn't too bad. They also accommodated my request for cheese on the burger. It's a bit pricey for brunch, but we were splurging a bit because of Inkind's deals. 4 for food, 3 otherwise, so I'm rounding up. Not sure if I'll be back, but at least things were pretty tasty.

I was greeted promptly by the waitress and ordered fish tacos as I read they were really good here…read more The food came fairly quickly and looked delicious. The tacos were good, but not great. For me the sauce was a bit too spicy and it overwhelmed the taste of the fish. The slaw on the taco was nice - creamy and crispy, but overall it was a middle of the road meal. The other thing contributing to the rating is that I had to wait quite a while after I was done to get my check. The place was busy and it looked like they had one person waiting on tables and manning the bar, which is probably why.

I have visited this restaurant two times. The first time I came alone during happy hour and sat at…read morethe bar. I had a glass of wine, two sliders and french fries. The wine was good, the sliders were passable, but the fries were DELICIOUS. Service was also good. Kind of a dead vibe at the bar. I came a second time with a girlfriend during happy hour and we sat at a table. We got the tacos (bad), tater tots (ok) & fries (still delicious). The problem was the service. I believe his name was Lorenzo. We told him we wanted happy hour drinks. Our first round was happy hour. Our second round we inadvertently ordered wine that was not happy hour & he didn't correct us. He also had a rushed demeanor. Bottom line...if it's nice day...sit outside with a glass of wine and fries during happy hour and go somewhere else for a better atmosphere & food.

Nice local spot, very friendly owner, and lovely staff!…read more Great music playing and very clean bathrooms, loved the family bathroom having a full changing station just needs more hand towels to dry hands and maybe some covers disposable for the changing pad. Now the food was delicious, those Bbq wings were great (I personally like more crunch to my wing but it was great!), my fiancé had the burger and sang high praises, and my steak sandwich was absolutely delicious with no cheese, I also substituted the fries for a Kale Caesar salad! Baby girl loved her fries and nibbled on the chicken. We just missed the BBQ styled brunch menu and will try to come for another visit for that!

This was my first time at Ed&Mary's and wanted to check this spot out for dinner…read more Walked in and it had an old sports bar vibe. Got the spinach dip with chips which surprised me... I expected some warm cheese spinach dip and it was anything like that . Then for wings which were great order the 1lb Carolina gold barbecue. The wings were very good, I enjoyed them. Then we got a chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. The fries were way too salty. The service was okay the bartender's attention was with the bar they just had one person working the bar and being a waiter. The place was also very loud and not great for sitting and talking. 3.5/5

On the happy hour, we started with the oysters - they were good, enjoyed them we got a second round. We got 3 apps for under $30. The crab cake was okay we thought we would get more than one (3 of us). We got the eggplant, we absolutely loved that! Lastly, the calamari was great. I love the type of breading they do for them. We wanted to try more food but we ran out of time. I would come back to try more. We mainly did the happy hour menu and they have great prices! Really cute place. . Overall I liked the food and will try to come again for more.

The fact that I came here for a business happy hour/dinner, meaning that i didn't pay for the bill…read moreand still gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars means a lot. We didn't have a reservation, and walked in. Luckily we were able to grab a table. But the issue was that it was extremely hot and humid inside. it was like their AC was broken or simply wasn't turned on. The service was also pretty bad, the waiters forgot orders and or took a while to stop by our table. The biggest reason i gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars is the price of food, vs the quality and or quantity.... again, i didn't pay, but i ended up getting a lobster roll with some chips for $35 bucks, and the lobster roll was severely lacking. It was small, and i didn't get a lot of lobster meat on the roll. If i had to pay for it, i'd be pissed. i will have to say, the views are nice, if you are able to sit outside.

4 stars: Great service and atmosphere, with an uneven kitchen…read more Service was a 5 and food a 3, so I'm landing on 4. The front of house was warm and welcoming, and our server was one of the best we've had all year. I wish I'd gotten his name, because he's a true pro and they're lucky to have him. The mussels were excellent, and the old fashioned cocktail was very well made. The accompanying bread was a letdown, though. It didn't taste homemade as mentioned, or at least it wasn't their best work. The entrées were where things went further south. The crab mafaldi looked and tasted like it had five times the capers it should have, and their brine seemed to have made its way into the whole dish. We couldn't get past the first bite. The snapper was a nice piece of fresh fish with a good sear, but it was overcooked and dry inside, and it had no salt. Our server and the kitchen kindly obliged when we asked to swap the pasta for the Wagyu burger, and they made another thoughtful gesture for the inconvenience. The burger was delicious and well executed. The special hand-cut fries they treated us to, unfortunately, had no salt at all. I'd planned to try the corn cheesecake, but after the entrées I wasn't in the mood for dessert. Still, the atmosphere is lovely and the potential is obvious, so we'll definitely be back.

Met a girlfriend here for a belated birthday dinner. Even though the restaurant opened about a year…read moreago, it was both of our first times here. We came on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was very empty. Maybe it was the end of summer, the rainy weather, or simply a slower night, but there wasn't much of a crowd. It's also about five minutes away from all the restaurants on Newark Ave, so perhaps it doesn't get quite as much foot traffic. The restaurant itself is very pretty - neutral colors, high ceilings, and dim lighting make for a really charming atmosphere. Our server was friendly, thorough, and very chatty when walking us through the menu. I believe he was the only server for the entire restaurant, though, so it took quite a while for our drinks to arrive from the bar. Once we ordered our food, however, everything came out very quickly, almost so quickly that I wondered if some of the dishes had already been prepared and were simply waiting to be served. We decided to share four dishes. First was the ahi tuna aguachile. Our waiter described it as being similar to a tuna crudo, but it came out in small chunks, and I didn't really see or taste the mango. This was our least favorite dish of the night. The street corn croquettes were our second least favorite. They arrived lukewarm and didn't really deliver much in the way of street corn flavor. I think they could benefit from a drizzle of Mexican crema and a sprinkle of chili powder or Tajín to bring those flavors out more. Our favorite savory dish was the honey-miso ricotta toast. The flavors were really nice, although I wish the focaccia pieces were larger or that there were at least four instead of three. We also shared the gnocchetti sardi pasta which was just okay. It wasn't particularly flavorful and felt pretty average overall. At $27, I'd much rather have a homemade pasta at Corto. Our second favorite dish of the night was actually dessert. There were only three options, and we were initially on the fence about ordering anything, but I'm glad we went with the toasted marshmallow crème brûlée. It was delicious. Our server also generously comped the dessert after learning we were celebrating my birthday, which was a really nice and unexpected gesture. From the restaurant's website, it looks like the menu changes regularly, and I think there is a lot of potential here. The space is charming, the service was friendly, and there are some good ideas on the menu. Unfortunately, nothing we ate really wowed us, and there weren't any other dishes our waiter described that left us wishing we had ordered them. Overall, I'd give this place another try, especially if the menu continues to evolve. Hopefully we just caught them on a particularly slow night and the restaurant is doing better than the nearly empty dining room suggested. For now, though, this feels like a solid 3-star experience: great ambiance, friendly service, but food that was mostly just average.

This place is extremely overrated.. definitely not worth the hype. You need a membership to dine…read morehere, and occasionally they open it to the public. The photos and videos that you see on instagram do not match what you see when you arrive. The restaurant itself feels gimmicky and thrown together. Sure, the holograph on the wall was interesting to look at for 30 seconds, but that's about it. Our server, Nicole, didn't seem like she wanted to be there. The drink selection (especially if you're a rum drinker) was limited. The rum cocktail that I settled on was awful. The manager/owner? stopped by our table and greeted my husband, shook his hand but completely ignored me.... Very strange. Not a big deal for us, but if you are not used to paying $10 for water, an included gratuity or an additional "service fee", get used to it while dining here. The reason for the three stars you ask? While the menu is limited, everything we tried tasted good. The macaroni and cheese balls were my favorite and the mussels, although just a few, were tasty. Besides our assigned server Nicole and the manager, the staff at Casa De Lobo that we interacted with seemed generally friendly and happy to serve us. The pizzeria that you enter into had delish slices (we grabbed a few when leaving) and it was a cool "speakeasy entrance". I came, I saw, I won't be back.

mixed feelings about this place. i think it's a one and done for me, but i still enjoyed my time…read more first off, you need to make reservations and put down $25 on a CC, which you get taken off your bill. but there is an automatic 20% tip and $4 to $5 venue fee (WTF?). great service. sparkeling water is $10. small menu, not many options for veggie eaters. my friend and i split the cauliflower and although they looked weird, we loved these. the mussels in sauce were salty, but the broth were good. i think the amount of mussels is very small compared to the price. it comes with 2 pieces of bread, my fat ass requested more because the broth was pretty good. i didnt have a drink, but my friend loved her tequila drinks. dark decor, plenty of photo apps, big square bar and a lot of intimate tables. they do burlesque shows sat night, reservations highly suggested.
