Hello Newarkers, looking for a romantic restaurant in Newark that is NOT in the Ironbound (nothing against the Ironbound, love it, just looking for something different this time). If you can't recommend anything actually in Newark, I would also be interested in options nearby. Something for a romantic evening. Thanks in advance.

Dutch’s Lounge in the Tryp, Swahili Village, the restaurant in the Robert Treat Hotel and Marcus B&P are good options downtown.

Marcus B&P (in Hahnes building) is a nice little date night spot.

Blue Steel Pizza in Bloomfield is a really cool spot with great food.

A bit further, but Rosemary's in NYC (18 Greenwich Ave) is our usual date night spot, and right off the Path

The Yard (military park) is underrated spot. Fast casual, and food is solid.

Urban Tandoor food (Indian) is fantastic, but I've never eaten there - only delivery. Pricey too.

I've heard Urban Vegan is superb, but I've never been so can't speak to the quality or ambiance. Think it's more fast casual than date night

Edit: just remembered! Charley in Harrison and the Vanguard are pretty solid too

Marcus B&P (the wings are awesome), Swahili Village, and Bar Vanquish are all pretty solid.

It’s not a restaurant but I’d also recommend Divino Tasting Room. The private tasting would be great for a date night and does come with small bites. I’m not sure of the setup for a drop in visit.

Q’tal Bar & Grill in Kearny has good food and a nice date night ambience.

Medallion Steakhouse (formerly Maize at the Robert Treat Hotel) . Rebranded, new menu, great reviews and I always liked the space even when it was Maize. Especially the sublevel dining/lounge area near the wine cellar. Not sure if it's still there.

Thank you everyone for your responses. We went to Swahili Village, and we were very happy with how it went. Food was excellent, generous portions, attentive service and we liked the atmosphere. Total damage $100.
