Bistro 1051 Italian Seafood Grill & Sushi Bar

With its eclectic cuisine, such as italian, seafood, sushi bar and steaks, Bistro 1051 is expected to be the reason people flock to Clark, NJ. Amid a visual masterpiece, where the cuisine creates a culinary experience, guests at Clark's newest restaurant will have all five of their senses enlivened at Bistro 1051.

Owner, Michael Savvis and Family have been in the restaurant business for over 20 years. He has built his reputation from his prior venues; Bistro at Redbank, Brix 67 in Summit, Parkside Bistro in Mansaquan, and Brix 560 in Tinton Falls. Michael Savvis has been very successful in the opening of all his restaurants with obtaining 4 star reviews from The Star Ledger, the NY Times, NJ Monthly, Home News and Asbury Park Press. His staff is well trained and always professional.

Savvis was influenced in starting another restaurant, so he intently searched for the perfect location and a niche - a family style bistro with a full sushi bar and an Italian twist in Clark. After traveling around the State, Savvis realized that most restaurants catered to tourists, and not locals who lived in the respective communities. This led the ambitious entrepreneur to create a place where locals could savor different types of cuisine all under one roof. Locals and visitors alike are fond of the family-friendly and kid-friendly Italian/Seafood Grill & Sushi Bar. Because of its unique menu and exciting atmosphere, Bistro 1051 has become the place that locals take their out-of-town friends.

A myriad of creative salads and appetizers - such as calamari salad with miso citrus vinaigrette, pear endive with walnuts and aged Roquefort cheese, crab cakes, sweet glazed beef skewers, and an assortment of brick oven flat bread, tables accented by candlelight create a collage of eclectic fare. Dinner entrees follow and include such delicacies as sesame crusted salmon, miso glazed chilean seabass, pastas, chicken, veal and steaks. If you're in the mood for sushi, try the tuna tartar - chopped tuna with caviar, onions, scallions and spicy sauce or one of the specialty rolls, such as the 1051 roll which features shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, soybean paper and spicy mayonnaise or the Bistro roll which features shrimp tempura topped with seared salmon and spicy sauce. Fresh sushi and sashimi are also available a la carte or as entrees.
