Best Casual Restaurants in Newark

Classic not? We ordered drinks they were good Appetizers were good Entree’s fell short of being anything but fair in that When you feature dishes as Classic on your menu , it should at least come a little close to what it really is. The Cacio E Pepe was a very poor attempt at a classic. When it came out even the server agreed what’s the point of calling it Cacio E Pepe when there was no black pepper in the dish, it basically had the taste of wall paper glue and that’s being kind , the pastas was so over cooked that it turned to mush once you put in in your mouth, it was more like something you serve at a Senior living facility for the customers who can’t chew or eat anything with any kind of flavor You can tell it was made in a rush and no care was taken in execution to make this properly, I’ve been in the Restaurant business for over 30 years and this was by far the poorest attempt at this dish. My suggestion teach the kitchen staff how to make it properly, or take it off the menu all together. We were celebrating my wife Birthday, if it wasn’t for drinks and the nice presentation of the dessert with the sparklers it would’ve been a total bust

The menu is creative and thoughtful, with exciting and well-balanced flavor combinations that take everything more than a few notches above basic pub fare. And we were similarly impressed with the drink menu; the ones we tried were, like the menu items, creative, thoughtful and well-balanced. All for an incredible value -- our family of four (including two teen boys!) ate very well for about $100, including two cocktails. Thank you HomeGrown! Can't wait to come back!
