   We love this restaurant! We have been coming here for years. We rarely ever have a problem getting a table. The steaks are always cooked to perfection, and the prices are reasonable. The service is wonderful, and the waitstaff are always attentive. I've come for special occasions, and casual dining, as the restaurant is appropriate for either. And for really casual dining, the separate bar area has it's own delicious menu. Would definitely recommend!

   Sadly, Sinodino's is under new ownership. We have gone here since it opened, and to Beck's and the Farmhouse years before that. We have come to expect great food and good, reliable service at this restaurant. Yet with new owners, they have apparently let go of all of their staff, as the servers seemed to have no clue about etiquette and the cooks had no idea what medium well and rare meant. We got a rare steak that looked medium well, and a medium well steak that was definitely well. With steak being their supposed specialty, this was beyond disappointing. Our server came once every 30 minutes, and we didn't even bother considering dessert for Mother's Day, as our dinner had already taken 2 hours. I really hope they can figure it out ASAP, because we will not be going back to give them a second chance for a few months.

   Sinodino's is such a disappointment. Especially on Mother's day. I will never eat here and it is sad because we have had miles stone Birthday parties there before and had Mother Day there last year. Our reservations there at 5:00. The hostess gave us the menu and the bus boy gave us water. We sat there waiting for a waiter to come get our drink order. No one ever came. Finally after for 30 mins., my brother got up 3 times to get a waiter. The place wasn't too busy (for Mother's day) there were a lot of tables empty. But there were about 6 tables with 8 or more people. Finally after the 3rd time my bother walked up to ask for a waiter to come. It now 5:45…the waiter comes and ask for our order. We had to tell him to take our drink order first. Then we realized that its probably the best to give him our order because we waited so long for someone to come. Then he had an attitude and even rolled his eyes. He didn't tell us what the meals came with we had to aske him, what type of starch the meals come with and if it came with soup or salad. We get our salad and bread from the bus boy. That’s it!!! The waiter never came back. At 6:40pm, we ask one of the bus boys to see how much longer it will be for our food to come. We see him walk in and then walk out of the kitchen to help other people. He never came back to tell us where our food is. We walk up 2 more times to see how much longer. They said they’re plating our food but we see no plates set out. It’s past 7:00pm, we’re hungry and still no food. Finally we decide to walk out. The Manager tries to apologize, they’re short staffed, etc…. But she should’ve walked around earlier and acknowledge the people waiting. We weren't the only one sitting and waiting, the other parties that were there before us waited atleast and hour for their food to come. When my sister was talking to the manager she saw our waiter cooking our steaks in the kitchen. What kind of restaurant has this become?

   Staff was very disorganized and saw them scrambling even though there wasn't too many people for Mother's Day. Food was average and ok. Would go back for maybe a lunch or dinner but not for a special event.

   Our server was great! Came here last two years for Mother's Day brunch and everything was awesome however under new management just wasn't the same. Seemed a bit dead... Food and coffee was cold! Growing up in Newark this building has always been a great establishment place to eat . However countless new ownerships beginning to lose interest in attending! Hopefully they get it together because I'm one to spend my money in town!

   Our visit to Sinodino's was remarkable because of the service. The entire staff was friendly, attentive and went out of their way to make our evening enjoyable. They were fantastic.
