   Took mom for her birthday dinner and she loved everything. From salad course to entree to the noise level, she was impressed. Raved about the food. Bacon wrapped scallops were very good and the fish soup with shrimp and clams were my personal favorites. Mom had carrot cake for dessert and loved it too! Come here for an intimate setting. Good date spot after an event in downtown Newark.

   The food wasn’t inedible but for a $300 meal for two people (including tip) it left much to be desired. Half of the mussels in the app had sharp, broken shells that were either stuck in the mussel itself or floating around in the sauce. The crab cakes were mostly filling and mass produced. The “colorado” lamb chops had SO MUCH FAT on them. It was not Colorado lamb, but I was charged Colorado lamb prices. The porterhouse steak was mediocre. Our server didn’t crack a smile once, actually grunted in response to a request instead of answering “yes”. The beer, sangria and espresso martini were good.

   Sumptuous feast and consistent attention to its reputation makes you yearn to return

   Everything would have been perfect if the waiter would have been attentive. There were four of us out to enjoy a leisurely lunch. We were served our salads before we were handed menus. The menus were handed to us 30 seconds after the salads were served leaving us absolutely no room to read the menu. No one approached the table to fill out water glasses. They were never filled. Bread and accompaniments were brought to the table and were promptly remover within 10 minutes. I and my sister had rolls in out bread dish and they too were removed before our appetizers were served. I had to ask that they be replaced. Still no water refills. I earlier asked for a large bottle of San Pellegrino and was brought a bottle of Voss water. When I questioned the switch the waiter said they don’t have San Pellegrino but that Voss is the same. I refused it and said we would just have tap water. Through our first three courses the waiter removed our used utensils from our used plates and put these dirty utensils on the tablecloth so that we can use them again. All the table was set with was one knife and one dinner fork. No salad fork I particularly do not like to put dirty utensils on the table to use again. We were given an opportunity to order wine or sangria when we arrived (as soon as we sat down) and I said after we order I would be happy to order a bottle of wine but the waiter forgot and so did I. If service was good I would have tipped over 20% but under normal circumstances I would have tipped 10% for terrible service. No one ever checked on our table to see if we wanted anything (water) or if everything was fine. I did tip 20% because it is nearing Christmas and the restaurant was very busy. This is the only reason I didn’t give all 5 stars
