    I had gone here a couple years ago and wasn't impressed aside from the patio ambiance and dog menu. But this time it was better. We had the fried chicken meal and bbq burger, it was miles better than last time. Seasoned and cooked as asked. I will be returning.

    The online order times take longer than they estimate. It quoted me 10 minutes and took over 30 minutes which sucks if you’re starving. Their curb side pick up auto texts your order is ready when it’s not. I replied back using their text system and no one came out. I called and they stated they would bring it out when it’s ready. Since they never came out, I went inside to check. They told me their text system auto replies it’s ready when it’s not and that their text when you’re here function doesn’t work. On top of that, I asked for extra napkins and utensils…. I did not get napkins or utensils. This made eating my brownie Sunday impossible to eat from a hotel room and I ended up throwing it away 😩 Seriously disappointed in their lack of service - it’s definitely gone down hill!

    Took the family to have dinner here due to my daughter having a dog. We called and they told us it is a pet friendly Restaurant with a covered patio. They even have a dog menu! Totally satisfy with the food service and environment. We shall return. Prices were moderate.

    This Review is long overdue!!! Sergio Herrera was a phenomenal manager and made our wrong right!!! We experienced a delay with our food , which then came out cold . We asked to speak to Him and he was so pleasantly kind and made sure to comp some of our food and asked if we wanted to wait for another hot meal. Thank you for the best customer service we definitely will be back

    LD is one of our favorite places to go to where we know we will have the best food, drinks, and especially service!! Over the years we’ve been so impressed with the variety of dishes they create and how extremely shareable they are. The drinks are well crafted and delicious, especially the house craft Huckleberry Haze IPA (pls leave some for me;). I especially want to highlight the star to our experience each time at the Newark location is the staff. The staff is so attentive and their smiles never waiver even at the busiest hours. They are well versed in the menu and can make great suggestions if you feel overwhelmed by the vast selections (pls try the feta hot honey cheese dip). We’ve opted for this quite a few times and recommendations have never failed us. Lastly, I want to give a great thank you to the general manager Marilu. She leads with so much kindness and genuine care for both her patrons and staff that we always feel so at home and well taken care of. Thank you LD Newark team!
