One of my girlfriends and I got together for dinner. When I arrived I parked on the street in front. I walked in, and we sat at the bar. Roxanna was our bartender, and she was cool. I started with a red sangria and it was good. For my entrée I got the sea bass special for only $20. When it came out it looked amazing! The only problem was that it was full of bones. It was delicious though! My friend really enjoyed her garlic shrimp. The bill was super affordable! All in all we had a good experience.

I was very disappointed with the food. The octopus was tasteless and mushy. The Calamari was decent. The crab stuffed clams were disgusting. I had crab stuffed twin lobster tails. They were overcooked like a piece of rubber. The crab stuffing was imitation. Crab and breadcrumbs. The garlic white wine sauce of other dishes was horrible. They have no idea how to make a white wine sauce. The drinks sucked. The dessert was horrible. A huge disappointment and huge flies everywhere. I will never go back.

Everything was delicious! Staff was entertaining, professional, and knowledgeable about menu. Had yummy specials. Portions were huge and came timely. We (4 of us) loved everything we ate. Each thing better than the next. Red sangria was tasty, too. Would definitely go back and would definitely recommend!

I’m giving these guys 5 stars because I’ve never heard any waiter sing the Happy birthday song as passionate as this guy! We had my cousin’s birthday here. The food tasted amazing. Service was great with little wait time for the food. They also had amazing broa haha 🙂 We had bacalhau, leitao, frango assado, steak, giant shrimp. All tasted amazing. My only regret is that we didn’t have dessert from the place because we brought the birthday cake from an outside place. But these guys were nice enough to hold it for us and bring it out in time with the candles. It wasn’t too noisy, so we were able to enjoy conversations and laughters. Their indoor seating is nice and spacious with a few rooms to dine in. They also have plenty of outdoor dining space. They also have parking! Thank you so much for your hospitality and for making my cousin’s birthday so memorable. We all had a great time.

The seafood is excellent, as is the waiter service. The portions are generous and the menu is reasonably priced for the quality of food that you get. If you love seafood this is the restaurant in Newark, New Jersey that you need to go to. Highly recommend!

Amazing Portuguese restaurant with a beautiful peaceful outdoor seating that has a wall fountain . I loved seating outside and the food is amazing as well . Everything from the cute waiter who helped us with bringing out my girlfriend’s birthday cake to bringing us everything in perfect order and the food is delicious no matter what you get on the menu . Definitely a restaurant in Newark you want to try out and probably will want to come back too. The chicken and shrimp dinner with artichoke’ and mushrooms in a wine sauce is out of this world & they give you gigantic portions . I ate in my leftovers 3 x ! Also the fish is good here too . I love the calamari & shrimp in garlic sauce. I use to only drink red sangria now this place had me at their white sangria . Its excellent and perfect taste to it .

The customer service is great. The food is good. The daily specials are great priced. I went at noon on a Wednesday and it was super busy. I ordered two Appetizers and could not finish them. Great experience over all.
