Best Casual Restaurants in Harrison

We had no plans for Valentines Day (silly me) so I checked Open Table for a local seafood restaurant. I was expecting everything to be booked but there were several available reservations so I took a chance. They did not disappoint. Quiet and cozy is the best way to describe the establishment. I had the Shrimp in garlic sauce as an appetizer and the Codfish potatoes and peppers as an entree. I’m not big on seafood when I eat out but this was the best I’ve had. We will be returning for date nights. A definite hidden gem. PS: I don’t drink but I hear the Sangria is amazing.

Overall, food was excellent. Missing some little touches like fresh cracked pepper and Parmesan. Attentive staff.

Wow great food and friendly staff. Delicious food Great drinks. Nice ambient. Love it

Julia, the lady in pink. the man with the beard, the man with the glasses, (apologies for not remembering your names, but want to know you were greatly appreciated) and the Gauchos made for a WONDERFUL experience. The food was absolutely delicious, it was well seasoned, fresh, and the proper temperature. The foods offered, oh my!!! The sirloin, sausages, chicken, lamb, etc. Really loved each had their own distinct flavor. The salad bar was so amazing. I was afraid I was going to fill up on the seafood salad, rice and beans, the okra dish, and the other offerings. And don't forget the Caipirinhas, and dessert!! Valet parking, an added plus!! We live in Mercer County but will return to the Newark location very very soon!!!!

Really good with food allergies. Food was excellent.
