Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Newark

We had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner. They were so kind and were able to accommodate our need to add a person to our reservation. We love their fried zucchini and calamari. Their braised short ribs and prime rib were a hit! The staff was awesome and so nice.

Brunch today was our (3 adults + 3 teenagers) first experience. Great in every respect! Chose GLK Lake Merritt based upon Open Table info and patron reviews. A follow up visit is a must!!

I visited to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and arrived about five minutes early for our reservation. Unfortunately, we were informed that due to traffic delays, our table would be pushed back by 45 minutes. While the delayed start was a bit disappointing, the service at the bar was excellent as we enjoyed a drink while we waited. Overall, it turned into a pleasant experience thanks to the attentive staff and great atmosphere.

Mua was a compmete surprise! Suggested by Open Table, the space is captivating, lively and great food. We had softshell crab, chicken milanese, burrata with grilled veggies in a very good sweet balsamic. Champagne then tea and two excelkent desserts, chocolate pecan pie with ice cream and breadpudding with cremey anglese.Very good value smart food with interesting people.

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food! Bug be warned about Lakeshore Ave. Left and my car windows were smashed in. I knew better to have anything in the car. But apparently that didn’t matter. I’ll never be returning bc the area just isn’t good, sadly.
