Braun's Tavern

We came in for a late Saturday lunch and just wow. One of the owners was here and greeted us in such a friendly manner. We had a great conversation with him and learned more about him and he provided some great food recommendations. If you like meat, the schnitzel with the beet and apple salad in a dill sauce was absolutely delicious. If you are vegetarian, try the fettuccine or the zucchini and tomato salad as both were incredible combos of flavors. We will definitely will be back to check their dinner menu soon!

Satis is really a welcome addition to the Bloomfield restaurant row. I am chagrined at the realization I missed this gem. Gracious staff, sumptuous food and a sophisticated yet urbane fit for any pallate. The environment is open yet soothing after a long day or commute. I tried their outstanding foie gras! The finishing grey salt was the piece de resistance. Next was the tripple cream brie, speck and spicy apricot jam. Served with a few slices of tender, yet crispy baguette. There was so much more, including burgers, chicken, desserts - too many to name at this first visit. The cocktails... I am at a loss for words. We sampled a few of the bartender's recommendations along with libation substitutions for those who prefer a specific spirit.They even suggested wine pairings for each course. From the hostess to the barteder to the wait staff, eveyone was attentive and memorable. I am looking forward to becoming a regular patron.

I love the atmosphere and hospitality of this place. The food is delicious and the chef is pretty creative with his combinations. The vibe is laid back, a nice place for an afternoon drink or a date night. I only have 4 stars because they recently changed their overall theme/concept and I need a few more visits there before giving it the full 5 stars. It is a place that keeps you wanting to go back for more!

This old favorite has been renovated to beyond it's original beauty. The bar itself is magnificent and the decor of the rest of the dining room is beyond compare! The Chef has managed to find an amazing balance between fine dining and incredible tavern fare. Awesome and interesting appetizers, homemade pasta, burgers, fine seafood and wonderful gourmet entrees . Interesting cocktails and nice selection of wines. You can't go wrong here!!

Very nice decor and atmosphere. The beer was great. I was hoping for a good new dinner spot but this will not be it. We had a burger and pasta. The burger bread was dry and flavorless. Burger was a bit overdone. Mashed potatoes were creamy but bland. I do admit it’s very hard to get fresh or good bread around Bloomfield and Newark these days. The pasta dish tasted similar to pasta with butter and black pepper that is easy to make at home for much less.

Ok I did not eat here so my review is different. I stopped in for the first time and sat at the bar for a few drinks. I was taken back a bit by the fact there were no beers on tap. The bar stools are like high school wood shop metal stools and are not very comfortable. I was in the area with some friends who said let’s get some drinks at the new Bistro in town and then walk over another location for drinks and dinner. I will put it like this. This place the food looked great and the prices of the food for what you were getting seemed fair. (Note we did not eat here.) After having a few mixed drinks, we left. This is not really a hang at the bar for some drinks. The stools are uncomfortable and it is more of a restaurant feel. I will be back to try dinner one day because the menu looked great and the food that was coming out of the kitchen look good as well.
