Bula Is Sky High With Praise

Newton, NJ -- Bula restaurant is "flying high" since American Airlines recommended the 134 Spring Street, Newton, restaurant in its American Way magazine. Bula, in fact, is one of only two restaurants American Way spotlighted in its October issue.

Bula (pronounced boola) is a Tahitian greeting meaning life; but in referring to the restaurant, might more accurately be translated to "attitude". "Chef/owner Bradley Boyle cooks up a storm in the kitchen, creating a constantly changing international menu," states American Way, which also noted that the dining room was "delightful". Bula has been able to offer its customers the unique combination of a world cuisine with all the warmth, charm and friendliness of a neighborhood spot since opening its doors in 2001.

Boyle’s open kitchen, the eclectic décor and the "live" jazz that resonates from Bula most Friday evening combines to offer residents an oasis at which to meet friends or just relax and enjoy cosmopolitan fare. American Way also praised Bula’s jazz performances and Karl Latham, who books the Friday-night music events.
