Lamb chops
Brandon S.

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

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

Good food and atmosphere Nice location in newark Pricey but nice experience with friends/co workers

Tess Marie R.

Surprised by the decoration very heavy and very " cliché " Portugal is today a modern country with good taste: here the colors are so dark and plastic grapes everywhere make the ambiance very depressing. Prices are completely exaggerated for what the place is. The food is lack luster, doesn't have much taste and doesn't justify the high price. It's Newark, yet it's more expensive than a lot of classy New York restaurants. The service and customer service are nonexistent. Really a bad experience, the worst I have had in a long long time. We didn't get asked if the food was okay, if we wanted anything else, etc. Took over 15 minutes to come even ask if we wanted our check or desert or anything. Honestly disappointing and will never be back. Even if I was given a free dinner here I would pass.

Salada de Arugula
Smeeth W.

The ambiance of this place is superb. The price is kind of high but the salad is affordable. I don't think the food is that good but I would come back if I can

Since we ordered no appetizers, it was and felt like forever. The major disappointment was no tender checking on us. Had I been asked if I wanted another Super Bock at anytime in the last half hour of waiting, I would have been able to ask that they check on my food. Not that I should remind anyone how to do their jobs. Then the minor disappointment. For all that wait, all the customers rolling in, all the nice atmosphere, the food was just good but not great. The best outcome was lots of leftovers for entrees priced on the higher side for Portuguese food.

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

Fernandes offered excellent Rodizio service, but the dining experience was negatively impacted by excessively loud patrons, poor wine selections, and a general lack of flavor in most of the meats.

The temperature inside the restaurant was also very muggy. It was extremely hot and uncomfortable. While the staff was attentive and friendly, the overall atmosphere was overwhelming due to the loudness, making it difficult to enjoy a conversation or have a relaxed meal. Probably won't be back.
