Restaurants near Howard Johnson Newark

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.

Very good fresh food. We had the whole Branzino and appetizers all very good. Service was excellent and attentive. Wine was good Desert we had the Flan also good. Over all very good evening and the price is reasonable

Fantastic Dining Experience The food quality was excellent! The tapas selection, including the steak tips, crab cakes, scallops, and clams, was superb—each dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. While parking was initially a challenge, the extremely considerate staff quickly provided clear directions, making it a non-issue. The sangria was so good, it was almost dangerous! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch food and service.

Great quality food, ambience and service. The prices on the menus need to be updated as some are still outdated from the summer happy hours. We went during a work day around 3pm so there were no happy hours or specials at that time. Overall, we had a positive experience and it was enjoyable.

Great food, excellent wait staff and a beautiful old building. Would definitely come again.
