I’ve had the salmon with mash potatoes, chicken quesadilla and my drink patron sour. I’ve came back and tried the empanadas and the honey lemon pepper wings – soooo good and juicy!
Only downside is the 18% automatic gratuity on all bills even for a party of one. Other than that love it. Another “go-to” spot.
Start on a Positive note – The art work was extremely colorful and upbeat.
First visit and most likely my last. I went here to help a friend celebrate her birthday. I arrived an hour early because I traveled from Waterbury, CT. There was some initial confusion as to whether there was a 7:00 p.m. reservation. ♀️ Thereafter, a friendly server offered me a seat, a drink and a menu, the basics. I was the only patron here at this point. About 45 minutes into my wait for the 7:00 p.m. reservation, other patrons trickled in. I noticed a few ladies to my right eating tacos. I immediately inquired of the waitress, as I did not see tacos listed on the menu that I was given. I was informed that the establishment was low on taco shells and thus I needed to place an order NOW if I wanted tacos. ♀️ I declined, since I was there for a 7:00 p.m. reservation. I didn’t want to be rude and order before my birthday friend’s guests arrived.
Upon being seated at our table, we ordered drinks and one of us attempted to order cod fish fritters, however it was out of stock. ♀️ My friend’s friends enjoyed the empanadas but the calamari was “tough.”
While the server was very friendly, she was the only server on staff which was reflected in the service that we received. Again, she was very nice. The food was just ok. I ordered the NY strip served with asparagus and a side of mixed veggies and what seemed to be reheated frozen potato squares. My birthday friend’s Shish kabob looked amazing- she said it was tasty but it wasn’t hot. As a regular diner who drove almost three hours to dine here, I found the dining experience to be a huge disappointment. Fortunately, I wasn’t very hungry. However, I am thankful for the great company and friendly server.
Verdict- On a Friday night, the “happy hour” taco shells should be overstocked. The server should not have had to work solo- she was hustling and bustling up/down the steps, which probably contributed to the warm food and slow service. Our appetizer plates weren’t cleared until after we started eating our warm dinner. This is a FAIL for me.

The ambiance of the restaurant was also a standout feature. The cool artwork around the space added a trendy and modern vibe. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.
I also want to give a shoutout to our waitress who provided exceptional service throughout our meal. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.
Overall, I highly recommend Envy Bar and Grille for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in Newark. The food, atmosphere, and service all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning in the future.
