Elements Restaurant

Reviewed By Sightsee_Eat

We stayed in the hotel and just wanted to relax and eat it, so it was nice to have this option. We had simple food, pasta, but it was tasty, and the service was good. Dessert was delicious too. Large windows, patio with fireplace, bar. Not too expensive.

Old Bag Of Nails Pub

Reviewed By babyboomer66

First the good. My wife's bleu cheese burger was good. Tater tots were also. Chicken tenders were no different than most restaurant tenders--passable but ordinary. Server was matter-of-fact, not as friendly as many we have encountered recently. But she was not cold or indifferent either. Decor and atmosphere were bland.

Bummie's Pub & Grub

Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere! Our friendly, local customers are what make our little pub so great. Not to mention our outstanding menu. Stop in for lunch or dinner and try the daily special, or choose from one of our many comfort food option

The place was crowded and very busy at 6:30 pm. Waited about 20 minutes for a table. Our burgers were good. Nice selection of beers on tap. Very friendly environment and good service.

My wife and I have been here several times and always enjoy our visits. They have expanded their food offerings and have a great selection of wines to sample and purchase. Live music on occasion, friendly staff, and overall friendly atmosphere are the reasons we will keep coming back.

Barrel & Boar Scratch Kitchen

Reviewed By 825imrea

We walked over from hotel. Was nice bar and grill like place quiet good to talking during dinner. Staff was nice. Hotel recommend the burnt ends. It was ok. Had better. Had spice Mac cheese. Had a couple of jalapeno peppers on Mac cheese. Not a fan. The great beans were.good but they had an oil on them tasted fishy. Perhaps a omega 3 oil. But flavor ruined by fishy flavor. So nothing stand out great. Far from bad too. Prices seemed fair. So a good place to grab a bite on a business trip. But looking for better tonight

This diner in Newark had an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. I had corn beef hash with eggs and toast. The food was tasty and a good portion I had the rye toast and my wife the wheat toast both were excellent. I would come back here. Great coffee by the way.

Elliot’s

Reviewed By 1Prettybird

This was my first time here and I was very disappointed in the pizza. There is a beautiful stone/brick oven in the restaurant. When I saw that I thought to myself, wow, this should be good. Well we ordered the Margherita Pizza. I specifically asked the waitress if they had fresh basil and garlic and she said yes. It certainly did not have anything fresh on it. Dried up basil? from a shaker. No garlic. Chewy cheese like rubber. The sauce was very bland. If I hadn’t been so hungry and with a friend I would have sent it back. Needless to say, I will never order a pizza there again. Especially at $12.99. The frozen pizza from Kroger is 10 times better! On a lighter note, the Greek salad was really good. Also, No fresh lime for beer. Probably won’t go back.Not very handicap friendly. I think there were two small tables close to the oven. Everything else you have to step up to.
