Food was dense and service was very slow. The signature New Biege pizza was thick and tasted very heavy. The server took a long time (10-15 minutes) to get to a drink order. read more

A friend & I went here for Sunday brunch after pickleball. We both got the Portuguese omelette. It was fantastic!! Unique in that the edges were crispy, kind of like a pizza. Potato's were great too. Service was friendly and attentive. Great place to grab food in New Bedford. read more

I was so excited to try this place for brunch. We picked up our bibs for the New Bedford half marathon and then went here immediately after. It was around 11 AM. We will probably seated by the hostess and provided menus. I asked if they had any brunch specials in the waitress let me know that there were some issues with the kitchen and that they wouldn't be serving brunch, only lunch. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. We are never around this area and I finally got to try this place and unfortunately, I opted to walk out. It was cute inside and smelled good. The drink list looked decent. Read it based on my interaction with the hostess, the waitress and how she handled the situation. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to try anything. read more

I wanted to give a good review. Far he drink was excellent The chicken wings look like they were from a. Cornish hen - so small, barely any meat! read more

We returned to New Beige to try their lunch menu. We were able to sit outside and enjoy a sunny fall day. Our waitress was quick to great us and take our orders. I enjoyed the Turkey BLAT and hubby had the fish sandwich. Both were very tasty and we enjoyed thoroughly. We would highly recommend. Please visit and enjoy for yourself. read more

I am reticent to give this low a rating to any restaurant, especially one that in so many ways is doing things right. The staff was friendly, albeit pretty swamped. The place looks nice and has some great outdoor seating, too. However, despite how tasty my order of calamari (which was piping hot and perfectly crunchy) as well as the scallop platter (which tasted great and was a generous portion), something in one of the dishes made me ill overnight and into today. Maybe I was just unlucky, but forewarned is forearmed. read more

I think this is one of the greatest additions to downtown new b in the last decade! This shop is so freaking cute and has so much to offer. It has grab and go items, an amazing menu, a top notch cocktails list, amazing specials, special events, gorgeous ambiance and a next level staff. I love going for a meal and catching up or for dessert and cocktails. This spot it a must try! read more

This review is directed to the new ownership group of New Beige, not to the severs/staff who were kind folks and didn't do anything wrong. I came to New Beige with a party of 3 people, at 11am on a Sunday during a holiday weekend/same day as a major parade in New Bedford. We ordered breakfast items and coffees. After around 25-30 minutes, we still hadn't been given our drinks (including water), and had no ideas when our meals would be ready. Since we were in a time crunch, we figured we'd cut our losses, let the staff know, and leave. The new ownership group seems to be highly incompetent, since they severely understaffed their restaurant for brunch on a holiday weekend. This is a horrendous first impression (for the new ownership group). read more

First, the Fried Brussels Sprouts were the best I have ever eaten. They are prepared with Smoked Bacon, Maple Syrup, Chipotle Aioli. The portion size was large, which made it even better. On Tuesdays, you can get a dinner for two with a decent bottle of wine for $50. This is a really good deal if you would have ordered wine anyway. There is another $50 option if you don't want wine. For my main dish, I ordered PORTUGUESE PORK ALENTEJANA. I would have given the reasturant an overall 5* if the pork had not been overcooked. My wife had LASAGNETTE A LA BOLOGNESE, which she rated at 4*. For dessert, we had a tiramisu twinkie. It sounded interesting, but not close to a real tiramisu. read more

Skip and venture elsewhere. After a few visits, whether it be a coffee with a grab and go empanada, or dinner and cocktails with friends, from craft cocktails to entrees and service... it's a visit once sort of place. Steak tips way over cooked. Rock hard croutons in the salad. Over flavored drink recipes. When our drinks were wrong, the waitress switched them around among us to resolve the problem like we were all close as cousins. I didn't know my party that well, otherwise I wouldn't mind swapping spit, there are worse things. That moment aside, I just wonder if this place is trying to be too many things at one time? I suggest to cut the menu and drinks in half and focus on offering fewer things so those items can shine. A good location does not make a good restaurant. Sorry, New Bedford. Keep walking people. There are delicious establishments in close range! read more

There's a new gem in town adorably named New Beige. For those of you non locals that is the affectionate nick name for the old whaling city New Bedford. As soon as you walk thru the door you get the quaint feeling of Portuguese charm. We were greeted immediately and seated at once. I was delighted to see some traditional Portuguese entrees as well American favorites. We opted for the Grilled salmon and bolognese which were 2 dishes highly recommended by our gregarious server Francesca. Oh yeah we split a Chicken Mozambique empanada which was fabulous. We even saved room to split a warm white chocolate bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream. OMG they hit every dish out of the park. There is no doubt this will become an immediate favorite!! read more

My husband is vegan and I thoroughly scoped options in New Bedford as we were meeting family for a weekend getaway. New Beige was one of the very few places with a vegan dish so I made a reservation. Double checked the website day of our dinner to be sure we could be accommodated. When we got to the restaurant turns out they were "rotating" their menu which contained about 50% of the menu we viewed earlier in the day. Gone were the vegan option and other dishes we were interested in. Also of they were out of some of the remaining dishes ‍. My family enjoyed their meal but we definitely felt compromised. I had to order the scallops which at $32 could have been better. My husband had to order vegetable side dishes. We shared the hummus app which was good. Service was also very good. read more

There are a lot of mixed reviews for New Beige, but I am one to try it for myself. unfortunately I must give the restaurant a low mark. First the good, we were able to obtain parking easily. However, I can see where parking could be a little frustrating. The service was great! The wait staff was attentive, ask us several times if we need anything. We were waited on quickly, and very friendly. Now the low points. It was extremely cold inside. It was like eating outside in fact it was warmer outside. It was to the point where it was uncomfortable. Brunch: The pictures of the food are misleading. I order eggs Benedict, the whites of the egg were runny and not fully cooked and I found an egg shell. The home fries were eh. My friend order the whaler combo. Lots of food, he did enjoy the French toast. However in his eggs he found 2 shells. We both discussed if we would come back to give it another try and we decided not to return. There is a lot of competition on that street so they really need to bring something to the table. Heat would be a good start. read more

Wow! We are so lucky to have so many terrific restaurants in our area. Definitely adding this one to the list! We had the Piri Piri shrimp, the shrimp scampi and the Roman carbonara- all were amazing. The apple bread pudding was also a big hit. If you are looking for a super deal - dinner for two on Tuesday nights for $49 - full size portions too. We will definitely be back. read more

Chill spot. good food. nice staff. High quality bathrooms. there is a big motorcycle in there. You can go in there with your mom and she'll tell you to pose next to it. "Like Easy Rider" she'll say. You've never seen the movie, and you sure as heck don't want to pose with a fake motorcycle while your mom takes pictures of you. I mean, you're in public after all. Leave a big tip for the server because you stole one of the coffee mugs and you are worried they might get fired. Decent prices. read more

Great dinner, wonderful waite staff . I had the carbonara and my wife had the stuffed haddock. You could tell by the plating the care put into the dish. The topper was probably the best cappuccino I've ever had. We will return again and again I am sure. read more

this little place is cute! we've been coming here since they opened and i've found that the drinks have been great every time. when i was pregnant, the manager (Ariana) even made me a custom mocktail which was absolutely divine. i highly recommend the empanadas as they are delicious. only giving this place 4 stars because the food is a bit pricey and the menu isn't huge but still has a good selection more toward the dinner side. read more

Finally got to this restaurant, after hearing a lot about it. I had the spicy shrimp appetizer as a meal with the paprika potatoes. Really tasty, nice and garlicky, as described. The dipping bread that came with it was subtly flavored- perfect. My friend had the fish and chips, which she said were excellent. We split a tasty dessert and she had coffee and I a cappuccino, which was very good. We sat outside and the service was really excellent. Glad we went and I will be back for sure! read more

New spot in town. The ambiance is modern yet casual. The chicken Mozambique empanada was quite good. The piri piri chicken was somewhat dry. The service was good. Their drink menu seems interesting though their entrees seem pricey. Overall good experience. I'd come here for drinks and apps. read more

Excellent food. Great ambiance. Attentive service. Reasonably priced. It's sort of nuveou Portugese, but eclectic. Casual dining. Highly recommended! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in New Bedford!!! I have not been disappointed yet and ive tried brunch, lunch, and dinner. The prices are fair considering the quality and amount of food you are getting. I like to get their grab and go empanadas as well read more

Hidden Gem! This is my second time dining at this place. The first time was great and the second time even better! I got the pork ateljana it was so delicious! We also got the piri piri Shrimp, fried Calamari, Teriyaki Salmon, Braised pork Shank, Lobster Roll! I love that everything was so flavorful! The price was great. I wish I found this spot sooner! I love how the menu is constantly changing. This place is the Real Deal! read more

I'll start by saying how excited I was to try New Beige. After seeing it downtown for a year now I figured we'd give it a try. Let me preface this by saying I don't often write negative reviews but sadly this was probably one of the worst meals my husband and I have ever had. As a couple that travels and tries food from all over, this was one of the biggest disappointments. Before I get into it I will praise our waitress, she was kind and treated us with a warm smile. She checked in on us when appropriate and made sure we had everything we needed. So thank you kindly for your service. Today we ordered the Clam Chowder, Fried Calamari, fish and chips, and Portuguese Pork Alandjana Starting with the clam chowder, the flavors were very overwhelming and truly did not match the authentic style or taste of clam chowder. With the overpowering taste of bacon and possibly another meat. Maybe it's me but usually you want to have a good base to the broth and be able to taste the clams. This was not the case and I can officially say this was the worst clam chowder we ever had. The Calamari will take us in a more positive direction though. It was light and airy. The crisp breading the sauce to dip them in though didn't pair well. They were good enough though to eat on their own with the banana peppers. Now let's get into the main course. We ordered the fish and chips. The best way we could describe the fish. The batter was mushy and the fish was not fresh it was like a frozen meal that you just microwaved at a truck stop. The cole slaw was good in my opinion that was on pare. The fries were decent as well. Moving on to our next entree. The Portuguese pork atlanja, was my biggest let down. I am 100 percent Portuguese and have traveled to the mainland while growing up in and around New Bedford my entire life. This was not sitting right. The pork wasn't chopped up properly but in giant pieces of pork with the potatoes at the bottom that were not crisped but very soggy and a terrible sauce. The clams were cooked well and tasted fine but the topping of micro greens through me off. The bread that was served across it was toasted with an olive oil drizzle with a herb that I can't quite put my finger on but that was disgusting. If anyone is going to amplify and make pork alantjana more robust don't ever cook it this way. This was the most overpriced meal we ever had but the end of it all our lunch tip included was $90. Was this place worth it absolutely not! This is not a high-end restaurant with a spectacular view. We've had amazing meals at places such as The Boat House for lunch with appetizers and entrees that were mind-blowing for the same price. Needless to say, this is not a place to brag about or recommend to others. Personally, this has made it to the top of my list for one of my worst meals ever. read more

I went for Brunch this past Sunday, There were a number of menu items I had seen at a nice place in Bostons Seaport District. I was with the same group of friends here. We tried nearly the same items. It's great that New Bedford is keeping up with the current trends. Execution was close, but price was more in New Bedford and the view and ambiance was just not there. I'll try again but, especially price. Needs some work, read more

I had an amazing piece of salmon and it was so fresh and deliciously seasoned to top it off. I had a wonderful margarita excellent bartender atmosphere was great clean place. The waiter was very attentive and explained everything about the food ...highly recommend this place if you want fresh good food. Made from scratch. They also have a glass, enclosed desserts empanadas that you can also purchase to take home or I imagine you could eat it right there. Love this place. read more

Food tasted microwaved for the price. The staff was very nice and friendly. I felt the food was overpriced and didn't taste fresh.

It's always great. The waitstaff and management is excellent. The food is always good and consistent. They chanfmge up the menu seasonly, which I, personally like! read more

This was our first visit for a late lunch on a Monday. I had the fall salad with shrimp and my wife had the pork sandwich with sweet potato chips. Also had the clam cakes. Everything was so good and the portions generous. The place was very clean and has interesting decor featuring different aspects of New Bedford industry. The background music was excellent. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back. read more

Food great, Service Outstanding, Atmosphere Great! New Restaurant and grab and go spot convenienetly located on Union Street in New Bedford. Great menu with unique selections. Worth the trip! read more

Great food, courteous service and home kitchen atmosphere. Parking can be a challenge so plan accordingly.

New Beige is my absolute favorite spot in downtown New Bedford. The atmosphere is great, and the food and drinks absolutely cannot be beat. I would especially recommend visiting on a Thursday for their $10 martini menu as it has the best specialty cocktails around! Some of my favorite dishes are the sausage ragu, the scallops, and the piri piri shrimp. The service is fantastic and I will be coming back time and time again! read more

Had a great dinner here couple days ago. Huge portions, friendly service, and felt like everything was priced quite fairly. Would definitely be back. read more

The rigatoni vodka sauce with shrimp was excellent. We had the 2 for $50 and a bottle of wine special. Excellent service and a very welcoming atmosphere. The Josh Cabernet was wonderful. You need to go! read more

Went in for breakfast. I got the crab hash and it was not good. There were sweet potato cubes with no seasoning, poached eggs with flavorless hollandaise, and just a tiny portion of unseasoned crab that was extremely fishy tasting. Would give it another try but maybe skip breakfast. read more

The food there was very good, unfortunately their prices are a little on the pricey side. I would have liked a few more options on the dinner menu. The lunch menu is even more restrictive. The service was excellent and the ambiance good. read more

Went to New Beige for the first time last night, party of four. Have to say we love what they did to the place and the food, service and ambiance exceeded our expectations. We started with the crab cake and the brussels sprout appetizers. The crab was really excellent; brussels good, but nothing innovative. Two of us had the mahi mahi special, one the Bolognese, and one the piri piri chicken. All very good, and two of the party were well-traveled NYers. Servings were large and the sides were very good. The wine pour was generous, and there was a good IPA on tap. Have to say, more interesting than many of the New Bedford establishment. We will be back. read more

This place is truly putting in the effort to be great. On top of an outstanding menu and service staff, they also have some nifty gifties to shop for and a decadent dessert case. read more

Went to New Beige on Valentines Day. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired. Plain tables spaced very close together. Server was very nice and attentive. Calamari appetizer was great. Scallops for dinner but they had sand in them so not great. Price was high for the atmosphere, portion size, and quality. Won't be back. For the cost I can go to a much nicer restaurant with better food and atmosphere. read more

Service was friendly and quick, attentive but not hovering. Kind of a strange set up with a cooler for drinks and a case with food, as well as a long bar with tvs playing sports and a small sitting area, but it all worked. Drinks were tasty, as was all the food our table had. Reasonably priced as well. Great location. Will definitely be back! read more

The shrine appetizer was good and my companion enjoyed her Chimichurri steak. However the scallop plate was not at all what I would have imagined from the menu description. It was about 80% corn and the scallops were very meager. There was no wine list and all they had to offer were house wines which was a pretty big disappointment. Also, there was a pipe dripping onto my friend's head and although we were able to move, they had no problem reseating the table with other customers. Might be okay for a dive bar but not a good luck when you're serving $30+ entrees. read more
