Arena Lounge

Definitely a VIBE until last night. I flagged the bartender down so we could get menu and drinks, I watched her tell her coworker which was a man to asst us, he literally looked at someone and started giggling then rolled his eye. He never came just stood at the bar, I now walk to the bar, he sees me so he proceeded to walk pass me, looks me in my eyes and went straight into kitchen. I finally got the bartenders attention after she took shots with customers BUT she did come to table, apologized for her coworkers unprofessional behavior and she served up in a timely manner. I go to this establishment often, spend a lot of money, tip very well plus staff usually is great so I’m not sure why this employee whom I never seen b4 treated me and my guest like we were a bothered. Anyway, the food is good and overall it’s still a decent lounge in Newark

Google this place and figured to give it a shot. I travel all over and review places all the time. When I say this I mean it....Do not waste your time! Go anywhere else. Service was atrocious The waitresses were too busy talking to each other and not doing their job. Food was okay. Only highlight was the guy who brought my food was really nice I believe he's also the cook. He was the only one there that seemed to care. Nobody ever checked on me or asked if I wanted anything else. I highly doubt this place will survive another few months. Maybe a real owner will step in and do something with it. Good luck

Five stars for the awesome service of a staff member by the name Meena. The food was okay but the seafood fries was the best thing I've had in months. The drinks although pricey will certainly get you to where you need to be. The crowd is so young I could have sworn I knew most of their parents LOL. Overall I do plan to go back to check out the Sunday brunch which I heard is great.
