Restaurants near Riverbank Park

Fornos is a go-to in Newark for a nice occasion. The staff is always friendly and professional, the atmosphere is wonderful - elegant but not stuffy/pretentious, and the food is exceptional. The selections are a challenge - in that there are too many good options; the flavor is wonderful, and you're usually taking some home, as the portions are generous. Then there are sides that come with the meal, along with the salad - plentiful. It's always a wonderful experience.

Food and service was very good. Always coming around with different meats. The only complaint we had is they don't expect Visa gift cards. Also paid $120 cash for a $114.08 bill and only got $4.75 charge. Don't care to be robbed at a restaurant. Don't know if it was done on purpose for extra tip or they don't know how to make change. Just recommend if paying in cash give exact change. They would have gotten an extra tip besides the gratuity they automatically take out, but I just wasn't feeling generous after not receiving correct change.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! I would travel back to Newark just to go! Decor was awesome. Place was big but so well designed. Food was incredible. Every bite of everything we ate was tasty. The staff couldn’t have been any better. We had 2 littles and they were SO kind to them. And engaging. Note they have very limited children’s menu options BUT our kiddos shared a skirt steak and loved it! They ate the entire thing! Can’t say enough good!

I have been to Sol mar on several occasions and have NEVER, EVER been dissapointed. The food is second to none and is plentiful. Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I am a seventy five year old man and have been to thousans and thousands of restaurants in my lift in many states and countries. Sol Mar does a wonderful job.

We went there for date night right before Thanksgiving. It was such a great experience. We ordered drinks and food, everything was just excellent.
