Charley's at the Urby development in Harrison is apparently coming to Newark’s Urby development with a liquor license, the outlet said. The restaurant's chef is Kurt Gutenbrunner, the owner and executive chef of Wallsé in the West Village.

Charley's originated between hospitality investor David Barry and Guternbrunner, who grew up in a small village outside of Vienna and "always wanted to create his interpretation of a casual Viennese bistro," the restaurant's website reads. The two quite literally broke bread together and ultimately launched Charley's where they cultivate Viennese cafe culture.

The menu boasts central-European fare using seasonal produce from local farms, offering brunch, lunch and dinner options, along with beer and a variety of cocktails and mocktails.

Cheese boards, charcuterie, hot pretzel, braised artichoke, chicken and wiener and sirloin schnitzel, German chocolate cake, hazlenut tarte and more are options.

No word yet on an opening date. Click here for more from JerseyDigs.

Editor's note: A previous and incorrect version of this story read that Guternbrunner was the former chef of Wallsé. The corrected and updated version reads that Guternbrunner is still the owner and executive chef of Wallsé.
