Restaurants in Gloucester City

At La Posata Ristorante, guests are welcome to bring their dates, families, and bottles of wine to dinner. The family-owned BYOB hosts lunch and dinner menus with homemade pastas as the foundation for entrees of grilled eggplant with sundried tomatoes, and buffalo mozzarella or lobster with sweet peas and roasted red peppers. Homemade tiramisu or crème brulee add finishing touches to meals unless diners request showers of confetti.

Executive chef and owner Bharat Luthra named his restaurant Khajuraho after a town in Madhya Pradesh, India—a town famous for a series of Hindu and Jain temples filled with erotic monuments. Like those iconic statues, the sights, smells, and tastes of Luthra’s Indian cuisine create a vivid statement in support of sensuality and the enjoyment of life. His restaurant's elegant white-clothed tables, great enough in number to seat up to 120, stage feasts fit for mild to spicy palates and carnivorous to vegetarian appetites. Luthra bakes succulent marinated chicken inside a tandoori clay oven, spikes fresh seafood with garlic and ginger, and keeps vegetable balls from rolling off the plate with a smooth cream sauce and repurposed bowling-alley bumpers.

Burgers, wraps, and other American pub food fuel the clatter of toasting glasses and athletic cheers at Red Zone late into the night. The bustle swells and ebbs as athletes on TV score touchdowns or turn out to be two children with access to the equipment locker. As sweet-potato fries and buffalo chicken crackle in a deep fryer, chips fill tables during poker nights.

Santa Fe Burrito's cooks assemble fresh ingredients daily to fill made-to-order burritos with generous portions of chicken, turkey, shrimp, vegetables, beans, and tofu. Menu options range from traditional burritos with black beans and cheese to ultimate burritos stuffed with Adobo shrimp, chicken chili, or turkey burger.

At 5 n 2 Tokyo, sushi chefs design avant-garde fish dishes, assemble maki, and craft upscale Japanese cuisine. Classic appetizers, such as seaweed salad and tempura, whet appetites before diners dig into red-snapper sashimi, a crispy tuna roll, or an uni shot made with sriracha. 5 n 2 Tokyo’s chefs arrange each dish carefully, creating edible art unparalleled since the brief period when Renaissance court painters decided to etch their portraits onto french toast.
