Let's start at the start. Hostess had us seated at the bar less than two minutes after walking in without reservations on a busy Saturday evening. Bar staff had drinks in front of us in less than the time it took to figure out what appetizers we wanted. Now let's talk about the food. In SoFla we have a saying for things that can't really be described. We say SOFA KING, the food was SOFA KING, the service was SOFA KING, the people and atmosphere was SOFA KING. Do yourself a favor, sit at the bar have a conversation with the locals and enjoy food that is made by people that actually care about the product leaving the kitchen. read more

Very disappointing experience. I ordered scallops that tasted and smelled strongly of ammonia, which is obviously extremely concerning for a seafood dish. I immediately brought the issue to the waiter's attention, yet no one from management came over to speak with me or apologize for what happened. What was even more disappointing was that I was not offered another meal or given the opportunity to order something else. When a customer is served food that is clearly unacceptable, I would expect management to take the situation seriously, check on the customer, apologize, and make an effort to correct it. Unfortunately, none of that happened. The food itself was bad enough, but the lack of concern and customer service afterward made the experience even worse. I expected much more from this restaurant. read more

First thing...this review is NOT about the food. I frequent their other restaurants weekly and can honestly 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 read more

Wow, this place is just off the hook, I moved out of NJ 8 years ago, and I was back today, this place is still off the hook and the cost is reasonable for what you get. They have these little lights hanging throughout lthe ceiling, like it's Christmas, and even though it's not, it made the experience clearly more magical. As it always was, and still is, the staff are great and very attentive. The food is as good as ever. They made me a pulpo planca to start, and it was just as I recalled. Not even sure it was on the menu then or now, but they still made it for me, and this dish can't be had anywhere these days. I looked for it all over, even in Barcelona, and although I found Octopus, none of it was like this; the oil, the crispy pulpo with the garlic, is just a great place to start. The next dish was a twin stuffed lobster dish which looked picture perfect, and the picture was not lying, these guys have a great stuffing and the lobster was tender and moist. Couldn't ask for more. My wife had a Mariscada in green sauce and it was good, also garlicy, but I am a red Mariscada fan so even though it was good, it wouldn't scratch my itch for Mariscada. If you're in the area, give this place a go. read more

A family-style seafood spot with genuinely generous portions for the price -- the kind of place built for sharing, family dinners, and large parties. The standout at our table was the branzino: extremely tender, naturally flavorful, and moist beneath the skin. Everything else we ordered was solid too, with seafood that tasted relatively fresh across the board. read more

Large restaurant but relatively smaller tight parking lot. We came for a large group lunch. Staff were friendly and accommodating. They were able to handle a big order expeditiously. They give complimentary bread and soup or salad. Portions are large. Most of the food was delicious. The skirt steak was perfectly cooked and tender. The filet mignon was unfortunately dry and significantly under seasoned. Sangria pitcher was refreshing. read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Solid food and pretty fresh seafood. ++++ Parrillada - For the price, a fair amount of mixed broiled seafood - large clams, mussels, a lobster tail and claw, mini scallops and (what looked to be) a filet of sole. All of the seafood was fantastic, except maybe the filet of sole, which tasted a bit tooooo gamey as in ocean gamey. It also came with a side of yellow rice, vegetables and large chips. ++++ Surf & Turf - You can't go wrong with this and the portion was MASSSSIVE with yellow rice, vegetables and large chips mixed in. The 12 oz lobster tail was big and 10 oz of steak is a meal onto itself. Once again, fresh and delicious. The steak was a littttttle overcooked, but still good. ++++ Paella Valenciana - PHENOMENAL! A greaaaat paella. Rice was super delicious and flavorful. Plenty of seafood mixed into the dish and, best of all, as is expected with most paellas, the portion was BIG! ++++ Sides of Roasted Potato and Spinach - Solid sides and there was plenty of both. There was nothing surprising here, but they were good. ++++ Coppa Pistachio - GET THIS!!!! The custard gelato was served in a glass cup with chocolate and pistachio ice cream and praline pistachios. It was addictively good and we totalllly wish we had A LOT more. ++++ Creme Brulee - Solid creme brulee. Can't say we were stunned by any of it, however, it was good. It was definitely on the small side though and should have been larger. + Lots of space and tables inside of this restaurant, including a bar area and outdoor seating patio. + Large private parking lot outside. + Service was quick and food came out fast. + Waiters sang "Happy Birthday" for one of us who's birthday it was. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Unfortunately (or fortunately) they forgot 2 of our appetizers. We ordered it, however, our entrees came out and we informed the waiter that we also ordered 2 appetizers. We ended up cancelling the appetizers, so no harm, no foul, but the waiter I guess forgot to relay the appetizers order to the kitchen. In retrospect, we were kind of thankful it didn't come out because there was so much food in our entrees, so we were able to save some room for dessert ... which was super important! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We arrived at 12 PM on the dot on a February Sunday afternoon, which is when they open, so we were the 1st customers of the day, but, we were surprised that the dining room got about half full considering how quiet it was for the 1st 10 minutes after we arrived. read more

The restaurant itself was a bit restricted with space but that wasn't a big deal. Our service was slow and we barely saw our waiter but to give them the benefit of the doubt it was near closing time. We started with the calamari appetizer and it was delicious perfectly paired with a nice marinara sauce. I had the lobster ravioli which was featured in their special. It was really good. One of our kids had the skirt steak, which was perfectly cooked and she enjoyed. Our other kid had the sirloin steak, that one was overcooked and lacked some flavor. My gf ordered the lobster and that could not be eaten because it still had the lobster poop. Overall, some dishes were better than the others and my reason for giving it a 3. read more

- Spacious restaurant with what appears to be multiple dining rooms; private parking lot, which was empty when we arrived for a Sunday lunch right at opening - The interior is traditional and rustic, creating a cozy and comfortable dining atmosphere--though it was a bit surprising to hear contemporary pop music playing in the background - It seems that only the dinner menu is offered on weekends, as we were not presented with the lunch menu that is listed online - Service was mostly efficient and cordial; however, our appetizers (Pulpo Plancha and Stuffed Mushrooms) never arrived before our entrées; we were disappointed to have to cancel them once the main dishes came out - The food overall was very enjoyable and generously portioned: Surf and Turf filet mignon was cooked perfectly to a medium as requested, and the lobster tail was impressively large and succulent; Paella Valenciana was full of deep seafood flavor and loaded with shrimp, mini scallops, clams, mussels, sausage, and chicken--the rice was soft and fluffy, though the chicken was slightly dry; the fish in the Parrillada tasted a bit overly fishy and the dish leaned soggy, but the rest of the seafood was fresh, well-cooked, and tasty; sides of Roasted Potatoes and Spinach were solid complements - Desserts were a highlight: Crema Catalana was creamy and not overly sweet, though the sugar crust was quite thick; Coppa Pistachio was rich with nutty pistachio flavor--my birthday wish should have been not having to share it! read more

I loved the vibe of the restaurant, and the service was great. Jose was a kind and helpful waiter who made the experience even better. The bread came out first, nice and warm, which was a great start to the meal. We ordered the empanadas, and the meat was delicious, though they definitely could have used a sauce on the side. I also got the soup, which was very tasty. Unfortunately, my main dish lacked flavor. The portion size was good about six pieces but it just didn't have much seasoning. Oddly enough, the onions were the best part of the plate. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and service, and I'd come back to try the seafood next time. read more

Consistent quality, large selection, attentive service. Steaks, paella, and shrimp in garlic and excellent. House made chips too.

The last time I visited this restaurant in 2022, I just graduated with my Master's Degree and it was a large party. The food and service was so amazing that I've been wanting to come back so I took my sister here for her birthday. Again the service was great, water remained refilled, plates were cleared as needed and the waiter was nice enough to put on food network for the birthday girl (she LOVES to watch food network while she eats lol). Everything we ordered tasted great especially the ribeye, it was the star of the show highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already. Note: they do charge extra for card payments so bring cash unless you don't mind. read more

My server was a friendly and thoughtful gent from Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! My best to your family. The food highlights: - bread: hearty sized individual breads with a nice crispy outside / tops - chorizo sausage is well flavored without being oily or dry, tastes great mixed with... - the vodka rigatoni. 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. read more

I've been aware of this spot for over a year, and thank goodness my friend called me up and said "it's time". This was a very nice experience and at a good price point. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside, has a great, friendly staff, and a full bar. Before I continue, you just HAVE to respect a place that puts on its menu "We do not recommend Medium Well or above" for their steaks. Respect!. We started off with a delicious meat and cheese plate that had jamon iberico (pata negra), chorizo iberico, salchichon iberico, 6 month manchego cheese, and marinated olives. We also got the oysters rockefeller which were delicious. The bread that comes out when you sit down was also fantastic. For our mains, we got medium rare steak. The steak comes with homemade chips and rice. For good measure, we also got a side of mushrooms that hit the mark. This is the original location, and I hear the others are just as good, so don't worry about which one you choose. We will be back for some spanish dishes. Enjoy! read more

We have been going to Segovia the early '80s and it never disappoints. The staff and food are awesome. We still highly recommend.

We attended a birthday brunch and everyone had a great time enjoying good food, and very attentive service. It's a bit far for us to frequent but we really enjoyed the food. read more

Food was good, service was good!!! The Ambiance was nothing special. It was pretty cold when we got there but they eventually turned the heat on. Portions were not very big, it came on a large plate with mainly sides. It seems like they had a lot of large parties which didn't make it comfortable for parties of 4... I've eaten at Spanish restaurants in Newark for 30+ years and this does not compare. read more

After hearing about this place for years, I finally tried it. DELICIOUS! Everything was great! The Sangria was fantastic. The bread was amazing! Warm and crispy and perfect to dip into the Garlic Shrimp. Those were absolutely amazing! The roasted garlic was so good!!!!! We had the white bean soup with our entree and it was so delicious. My fiancé got the filet which was like butter and I got the skirt steak. Yummmmmm Looking forward to my next meal here! read more

First wanted to say I was hopeful for a wonderful dinner. Service was great. Tables a little too close together but it's a small place and they made it work. Now the food was another thing. I ordered as the menu stated Jumbo shrimp and scallops. The 3 shrimp I got were not jumbo, more like just large and the 3 scallops I got were about 1 and a half inches big. Came with rice , vegetables and their potato chips. Very disappointed with my fish. My son ordered a 24 oz steak. Cook to the right temperature but had absolutely no seasoning on it. Needed to keep putting salt on it and only eat about 1/4 of it. Bread was hot and great. Spanish restaurant usually give great size portions but my dinner was lacking. They need to at least put more sea food in this dinner item. read more

Classy, delicious and notable. Segovia is definitely above a nightly outting price range, but for the moments of celebration and enjoyment that do come up in life, I recommend it highly. My uncle loves the scallops when he goes and I have to agree they're delicious! The service is professional and courteous. The ambience is unique and elegant, yet cozy. read more

Really good food quality great atmosphere great service extremely fair prices. Just a great experience my new go to place.

Cozy restaurant with a yummy menu. Their bread is delicious -- always a good indicator of the food that follows. Everything we ordered was solid, makes me believe that you can order anything off the menu and be satisfied. Personally loved the broccoli rabe and lamb chops. Would recommend for a nice dinner with the family/ friends! read more

We been here 2x in the last 3 months. First time we were invited for a family gathering, 2nd time we came because we couldn't get enough of the delicious food and great service the staff provides. Chuetas ajillo are to die for, grillled octopus is excellent quality, the dinner plates are big, we learned that is best to smik appetizers otherwise we cannot finish main courses. They really deliver a consistent degree of flavors, quality and friendly service. Be ready for dinner early but 5pm on weekends, place gets super busy especially for a table of 6 or more. Great wine selection on reds, i love the bread and butter, to be honest we could barely finish our main courses. So we end up taking a doggie bag home for leftovers for the next day lunch! Highly recommend this family restaurant! read more

Pretend spanish food at big prices. No flavors of Spain. Yellow rice is all Tumeric, no saffron. Chimmichurri is like an insipid salsa, no sherry vinager, no parsley, no garlic, no oregano. They have no idea what they are doing. read more

Family-owned Spanish restaurant that's been in the same location for decades. Reservations are a must as the place is popular and typically crowded with a long wait. Ambiance is authentic Spanish restaurant -- dark and a little loud, but not in a festive, not negative, way. Appetizers slayed: the raw oysters and grilled calamari were absolutely delicious! Margaritas were ok, but I'd probably go with a martini, wine, or sangria next time. Dinner came with a choice of soup or house salad. I had the salad and enjoyed it. I ordered the boneless sirloin medium rare and it was more medium well -- probably continued to cook on the sizzling metal plate. However, one of my companions ordered the Salmon Pescatore (salmon with mixed seafood in a light tomato sauce) and he enjoyed it very much. The hand cut fried potato chips were totally addictive and the flan was fine. Next time I would order the oysters for an appetizer and grilled calamari with chips and broccoli for dinner. read more

We were to meet out friend in Secacause and wanted to find a good restaurant close by. We saw that Segovia Restaurant had good reviews and was Zagat rated and decided to go there. It did not disappoint! The restaurant was tucked away in a residential neighborhood, very nicely decorated with led strings lights on the ceiling, had a warm and coszy feeling. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food. It was excellent, the portion sizes were huge, easily for fwo people! each dish was huge, pork chop had 3 chops!! for the price It was totally worth it and very flavorful. highly recommended and must visit if you are in the area. read more

Came here for a date, tables were all booked on a Monday evening so we waited by the bar for a bit. We tried their homemade sangria which was tasty! The bar ambiance is very chill and they have tv to watch games, you can still order food here. Overall ambiance is cozy, family friendly. There were large groups and lots of seating. I knew I was in for a treat seeing how lovely it was on week night. For starters we ordered the oysters Rockefeller and filet mignon tips. The oysters dish was delicious and we got bread with it. I would skip other filet mignon tips, they were too over cooked and not flavorful. We got the garlic shrimp and pork chops-amazing. It comes with rice and veggies and the portion is huge! The pork chops were so tender and flavorful- truly one of the best pork chops we had! We couldn't finish our food and had to take home for leftovers (not a bad thing at all :) ) Can't wait to return! read more

The atmosphere at this restaurant is always warm and vibrant. I always order the Paella Marinera, which is hands down the best item on the menu. You can't find any authentic Paella in NJ better than Segovia. I change up the tapas order all the time and never miss a beat. Trying something new every time here is a great experience. I recommend coming here for dinner due to the ambient lighting and lively atmosphere. You will go home with leftovers and a full stomach. MAKE A RESERVATION. This place easily gets packed on weekends and days with major events. The bathroom cleanliness is questionable, and the service is ok; it can be slow sometimes. Overall, I give this place an 8.5/10, a great place to take your family and friends to eat. read more

Let me first off say the food was great! My only issue was the service :( My friends and I (4 of us) came here on a Friday night at about 6:30. There was no wait for a table and even as the night progressed the restaurant remained at a steady half full rate. However, it seemed like our water/server was carrying the bulk of most of the tables. Because of this, we waited around for him to take our food order, drink order, bring the check, etc. Meanwhile, there were plenty of other waiters or possibly bus boys standing around chit chatting while our waiter had to hustle the entire time. I felt bad, it seems like they need to rearrange how they divvy up tables. Otherwise, food was delicious and tapas is the way to go! read more

I love Segovia! Always nice friendly service. And delicious food. I'm not a meat eater. However I do enjoy their escargot and always the seafood. And their side dishes are delish as well. Yum the rice and the chips! Making myself hungry writing this. And while I don't always get dessert when I take myself out to eat I do here just because the meal here feels more like an experience so why not go all in! See you again soon Segovia ! read more
