Would I recommend to a friend to come here? Yes. Would I be coming back on my next visit to the area? Maybe someday, but probably not next time. Make sure to call and make a reservation.
Pros: Lasagna was very good. The French onion soup and the lobster bisque was very good. The place/atmosphere had a nice feel to it. The server was nice.
Cons: Had a limited/soft open menu. So, things like the stuffed mushrooms and many other choices from the menus found online were not available. They didn't even have Ceasar salad. The Chicken Calabrese was not good. The chicken itself was good, the noodles were ok, but the copious amount of oil and the sauce was not good. Almost like a hot Italian dressing. Did not receive our bread until our meal was almost over. The calamari was the worst calamari I have ever had at a restaurant. It was soft/mushy breading with zero crunch wrapped around a poor little chewy calamari. The sauce served with the calamari seems to be just marinara sauce with red pepper flakes on top.
We heard a lot of people say the spaghetti and meatballs were very good and we know the lasagna was good, so maybe stick with the more...
Read moreBeing newer to the Westfield area, Bark Grill was last on our list of restaurants to try. The Hostess who greeted us couldn't have had a more bubbly welcoming personality. Our Waitress got to our table quickly to take our drink order and to tell us about the numerous dinner specials. We definitely got there at the right time, as things got quite busy 15 minutes after we came in. Our food came out in a timely manner as well. One of our food items did not come out as ordered, but our Waitress could not get back over to check on us, as she was quite busy with her other tables (no fault of hers). When she did come to check on us, she was very apologetic about the one item. The Hostess also came to check on us, and also apologized. Our Waitress then came back a second time, and let me know that the staff was embarrassed by this, and would make restitution with us, which they did. You now have a very satisfied customer, who will be back, and will bring friends next time. Great ambiance, Great food, Great...
Read moreHard to overstate all the great features of the Bark Grill. First time we've been here but it won't be the last. Mmmm! We were seated quickly, by VERY friendly efficient staff. The Bark Grill has a wonderfully diverse and expansive menu with many Italian options, among others. (some of tonight's other specials were chicken & biscuits, prime rib, steamed mussels and a broiled seafood platter.) My husband ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, while I had a custom order of my own concoction-- linguini with steak in vodka sauce. Excellent. The steak in particular was very tender and flavorful--something that is usually not the case when I've added steak to a salad or dish at other restaurants. Meatballs are also excellent per my husband. Definitely planning to come here again! Our meals were under $20 each. House wine is $5.50 per glass. Mine was a CA Pinot noir and was decent. (Note to others:. Payment is currently cash or check only, with an ATM located right inside the...
