Eunice I.

I had an extended layover in Newark, NJ this past Monday, so decided to venture out and check out a restaurant in the area. I was recommended to go to Ferry Street, and there were a mix of Portuguese, Brazilian, and Mexican restaurants down this street. I wanted to walk the length of the street before I made a decision, and I was also looking for a restaurant with a certain aesthetic where I could sit down and feel comfortable. I decided to go in here because when I passed by, it seemed fairly nice inside and not too crowded. I did have my suitcase with me, and the host was kind and held it in their closet for me. It definitely had the ambiance I wanted. The restaurant was large and had a front bar area and then a back dining room which is where he led me. There is a dress code on the front door which states business casual. I was dressed a bit down having been in transit most of the day, but it wasn't an issue. My waiter was Gabriel and he was very kind and attentive. There was complimentary bread, and an option for sparkling water or tap. I opted for the sparking. They had some decent options on their menu for Portuguese food, although it's a bit on the pricey side. I ordered the Peito De Frango Rustico (roasted chicken with peppers in a tomato stew) that comes with a side of saffron rice, steamed vegetables, and some potato crisps. It was a delicious dish, and the chicken was very tender. I loved the sauce it was cooked in. I was definitely very full after eating. The only thing I didn't care for was the potato crisps. I also liked that everyone worked together to check in on the guests. Gabriel, as well as another one of his colleagues, checked in on me and the other guests repeatedly to make sure I was doing well, or they would just refill my water if they noticed it was getting low. If I was in the area, I'd revisit again and make sure to dress accordingly, lol.

Another great visit, came for Valentine's day and it was booming. Was sat on the second floor with a bunch of other date. Was a busy evening but service was top notch. They were on top of things and the wait wasn't incredibly long, thankfully. The decor is beautiful and would recommend for anyone in h the area looking for a date night spot. On pricier side but good quality is worth it. They did add an automatic gratuity.

Lamb chops

Amazing lamb chops here. Perfect place to kick it for a quality meal during the busy / casual lunch hour. I was stuck between the lamb and skirt steak. They assured me this would be the best chops i ever had. He was not lying. With the mint jelly to top it off. AMAZING! Can't wait to be back.

I'd highly recommend this restaurant. Despite going on one of the busiest holidays for restaurants they performed to a high standard. Although when you walk towards a restaurant, you're unsure of what could be inside but once you're inside, you're amazed by the modern decor, cleanliness and immaculate food that walks by you. The customer service was top-tier! I have to give High regards to Gabriel who served as our waiter for the evening. Every staff member was attentive to us while we dining there. Also keeping in mind we had a concert to attend in the nearby area. The food was served, hot and ready while being very tasty. I would definitely come back to this restaurant even on one of the busiest days of the year. They serve large corners! So prepare for leftovers.

Sangria
Gregory C.

Modern and elegant Portuguese Restaurant in Newark. Dined here with some friends the other night. For drinks we had a pitcher of house made sangria. Quite good. For my appetizer, I had the Chourico Portugues Assado (Portuguese sausage flambe at tableside). Very tasty. For my main I had the Paelha Valenciana (A pan of slowly cooked paella valenciana, saffron rice and select seasonings of lobster, shrimp, calms, scallops, New Zealand mussels, chicken, Portuguese sausage and cubes of pork). A huge portion. And delicious. No room for dessert. Service was attentive without being intrusive and the restrooms were clean. We will return.

The food was not great to me, we ordered calamari which wasn't fresh, too dry and rubbery because it was frozen and not fresh, the octopus was a bit dry also, seabass wasn't fresh either, my husband ordered the lamb chops which was the only good thing on our order

Escargot
Donna V.

Restaurant is beautiful inside. Could be for casual friends or a nice romantic dinner. Wish the rooftop was open. Service was top notch. We started with escargot which were large and delicious. Also had the garlic shrimp and chorizo. Both were equally tasty. I ordered the grilled octopus with eggplant and shrimp. It was phenomenal. Others ordered the steak and raved that it was perfect. Stuffed sole was fresh and had a wonderful flavor. Desserts were yummy!! Drinks were great!! Will definitely return!! For those looking for a cheap restaurant... this is not the place for you.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the food here. The clams I ordered were so salty is was practically inedible. Skirt steak was extremely chewy. My cod fish arrived at the table on a terracotta tile over an open flame sterno can. Looked cool, but unfortunately it was overcooked. The only things I liked were the sangria, dessert and bread. Most of the restaurants in the ironbound area of Newark all seem plagued serving the exact same quality of food. Like others have mentioned, prices are completely over the top for the quality of food you're getting. Service was amazing, and the space inside was actual very nice! It has a elegant casual atmosphere. Would come back to the bar but won't be ordering any food.

Filet mignon and lobster tail

The food - absolutely delicious. The Sangria - so good - not too heavy and not too sweet. The staff - so sweet and so hospitable, especially with a request I made for my infant. Would I go back ? Maybe - if the portions were a little bigger, and/or sides were included in all menu items.

Bife a Cowboy Texano Grilled prime rib steak with sauteed spinach, mushrooms and Spanish sausage, served with roasted potatoes/saffron rice
Ben D.

Really 3 1/2 vs 3....worth a visit when in the area, this spot is putting some good dishes on the table. Appetizers are fine but the entrees are the standouts. Cowboy rib-eye, while lacking aged flavor, more than makes up for it with well executed preparation.

Filete de Pargo com Vieiras e Camarao

Good upscale restaurant perfect for special occasions!! There is a lot of seating and when we were there we didn't need to make a reservation. The food was pretty good but took a bit of time to come out, but the paella is a MUST TRY!!!

Paelha Valenciana

My best restaurant experience thus far! My family and I celebrated our son's birthday at Adega and what an incredible experience it was! Service: Top notch Food: Delicious Decor: Super elegant Ambiance: incredible Let me start with the service! Adega offered us top notch service! All of our severs (yup! SERVERS, we had more than one server attend to us) were incredibly polite, answered all of our questions and were overly attentive to our needs! A little gratitude goes a long way, I always say! Special thanks to: Hugo, Aldo, Tyler and Marco! You were all incredibly professional and polite! Your service was outstanding! Thank YOU all! Onto the food, we ordered, everything was delicious: Appetizers: Camarão á Guilho Chorizo Espanhol Ameijoas Casino Main: Pelha Marinheira or Valenciana Salmao Recheado Filet Mignon Marsala Piletes de Bronzini com Linguini, Camarao, Berbigao Bolhao Pato Dessert: Carrot Cake Coppa Strawberries and Caramel Creme Brulee Chocolate Soufflé Upon arrival, we were courteously greeted by the hostess, who politely escorted us to our table. I was overly impressed with how clean and beautiful this establishment is! Super elegant! The ambiance is to die for as well! Very mellow and classy at the same time! I truly and highly recommend Adega Grill to all my yelpers! I will be returning for more of a romantic date with my wife that's for sure! And will most definitely return on a more regular basis with my family! Thank you Adega for such a memorable experience! I will see you again!

Every time i come here its such a hit!!! It's definitely one of my favorite hole in the wall places…read morethat I've been coming to for about 8 years. The food is probably the closest you can get to actual Spanish tapas but what i love most about this place is that everythings got flavorrrrr For our table of 4 we got CROQUETAS with their house cured chorizo- very good POLLO FIORENTINA- chicken was so tender and packeddd with flavor! BARRIGUITA- plentiful serving for a tapa, we loved the potatoes it came with too CHICHARRON DE POLLO- flavorful chicken and easier to eat than you think TARTAR- delish but small Chipirones- sooo delicately breaded you can barely tell, was great COSTILLA A LA PLANCHA- plentiful for a tapa, we recommend cooking for longer since its traditionally a tough cut of beef SAUTED VEGETABLES- tastey and not mushy thankfully! MILLIONAIRE CAIPIRINHA for my drink. was soooo good, not too sweet and not quite as sour as a margarita, was perfect for me!

Casa d'Paco is a great spot with a really cool setup. When you first walk in, it feels like a…read moresmaller, quiet place with a nice bar but then you realize they have an additional space on the side which completely changes the vibe in a good way. When I was there, they had a DJ playing, and it added energy without being too loud or overwhelming. The Service was very good, the waiter answered and helped with all our questions. The food was absolutely amazing really flavorful and well done. Just be a little prepared that most dishes come in smaller portions. But the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered the paella, and it's easily enough for two or even three people and it was well worth it. Really delicious. The drinks were also definitely worth trying while you're there. The only thing I wasn't big on was the desserts they didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal. But overall, great atmosphere, excellent food, and a fun experience. I'd definitely come back.
