Bookmark removed. Probably won't be back. Tried this place…read moreas someone must have recommended it and I saved it awhile back. We sat at the bar and the lady tenders were nice and attentive early on. The ambiance and decor is classy and traditional Iberian. Super Bock on tap is always a plus especially when ice cold like it was served. A Paella and a Monkfish dishes were ordered. And took no less than an hour to come out. 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.

What a great experience! This is my second time coming here and it always seems to be on a whim…read more Both times we just stopped by for a drink and this time was just as great as the first. Our service at the bar was exceptional. Every bartender was accommodating, alert and helpful. The drinks that they made were also outstanding! We weren't going to order food at first, but then we were extremely happy we did. We got the broiled squid just to try an appetizer, but we were happily surprised that between that the salad and the bread it quickly became a full meal. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I definitely have to come here for a proper meal in the near future, I honestly can't wait to return! Pro tip: visit the cigar room on a sunny day- it's a beautifully decorated space where you feel. Like you are somewhere special.

We used the valet service, and upon walking inside, I noticed an older gentleman playing the piano in the foyer, which gave the place a really nice atmosphere. Even though the restaurant was busy, our wait was only about 5-10 minutes. While waiting, I couldn't help but notice how large the restaurant is. There are two bars and several separate dining areas that looked perfect for larger parties and special occasions. Once seated, we were served fresh bread while looking over the menu. I ordered the 32-ounce prime rib with A1 sauce, red peppers, and roasted potatoes. I also had the chance to try some of the sea bass. Both dishes were excellent. The prime rib was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the sea bass was fresh and well-prepared. A special shoutout to our waiter, Milan, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, it was a fantastic brunch experience, and I will absolutely be back in the near future.

Everything we ordered tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. If you're looking for traditional Portuguese cuisine, this is definitely a place to visit. The service was welcoming, the atmosphere was lively, and it's the kind of restaurant that's perfect for sharing dishes with family and friends. I'll absolutely be returning.

Celebrating Gus' 70th birthday at Seabra's Marisqueira in the Ironbound section of Newark…read more Seabra's Marisqueira, a popular Portuguese seafood restaurant in Newark, NJ, known for its fresh catches, large portions, and lively atmosphere, is certainly the place to go if you're looking for authentic, traditional Portuguese seafood. IYKYK The food was spectacular and the service could not be beat. Marisqueira is a Portuguese term that translates to a seafood restaurant or shellfish bar, and this place certainly lives up to its name. If you can't make it to Portugal but are craving some traditional seafood in a relaxed, casual, authentic setting, this is your place. Plus, they have a free parking lot across the street from the restaurant.

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!

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!

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.

I added a little salt, pepper, and lemon to enhance the flavors. The staff was attentive, kept our glasses filled, and made sure we were enjoying our meal. One of the staff members let us sample the meat he was serving on the sword to another table, and it was incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. That experience made us want to return for the full Rozilio experience. Overall, it was a wonderful birthday dinner.

A few members of my team and I had lunch here to welcome someone new who was joining the team…read more This was my first time. All four of us had the Barbecue - 3 Mixed Meat and 1 Picanha. The Mixed Meat option had several different preparations of beef and a sausage served with a salad, french fries, and white rice. It was a generous portion of meat in a large plate. For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party. There is lots of space in the restaurant with different rooms. One room seemed specifically set up for large parties whereas another room was set up like a typical restaurant. Our party was able to relax and enjoy ourselves without ever feeling any time pressures from the staff. It was quite an enjoyable experience.

Ummm, flying into EWR and too lazy to drive far for dinner before heading south to my hotel,…read more Valenca sounded interesting. On a Monday evening, it was certainly busy at the bar and in the small dining area. Surprisingly as entree prices seemed to average around $30+. Unlike many restaurants in Portugal, the olives and bread are complimentary which was a nice touch. I opted for the seafood stew with the tomato broth and "lobster ". With the slow service, I was hoping that it would be made to order. However, a large bowl with overcooked seafood arrived. I had to ask for a bowl fir shells and a Nutcracker with hand wipes appeared too. Lobster was a small claw, the middle section which doesn't offer anything edible and a tiny sliver of tail meat. Wish I had remained with the garlic shrimp dish that was so amazing during a trip to Portugal. Service was inattentive, I had to stand up and request my bill. Anyhoo, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, great neighborhood vibe!

Served al dente with a nice cream / cheese overlay - shrimp in garlic. Very nice flavor with a light garlic and olive oil taste that did not overwhelm the shrimp - rib eye : simply seasoned that really let the meat flavor rise. Rum: they had Zacapa 23 year. A good recommendation to sip along with a tremendous meal. One note: the medium rare was closer to black and blue, and the medium was closer to medium rare. It may depend on the chef, but if you are between temp levels, take the over. I could have come here for dinner every night and been very happy. Plenty of amazing looking items on the menu.

I frequent their other restaurants weekly and can…read morehonestly say, the food is a solid 3.5 but when you consider portion size and price, then it's a 4. Now the reason for one star. I was driving home and this place was closest to the one I usually frequent. When I came to pick up the food, I was handed a check with a charge that horrified me. Not only am I paying credit card charges..now, but the now added a $2 packing fee. I was shocked, are we now supposed to bring our own containers and maybe pack the food ourselves???? This was a take out order, directly through the restaurant, no third parties and I came to pick it up myself. The order was for over $120 and to be charged a packing fee is absurd. Not sure what management was thinking, but needless to say, NOT CUSTOMER FRIENDLY. ...WILL NOT BE ORDERING AGAIN
