Best seafood paella I've had in a long time. The shrimp, mussels, scallops and clams were fresh, plentiful and full of flavor. Very generous portion and couldn't finish it. Enjoyed talking at the bar with good guy owner Tony over a nice glass of Sangria. I would definitely go back again if I'm in the area.
I see the attempt at casual dining in a fine dining atmosphere, but I think they fell short on esthetics. I don't know, maybe it's the color scheme, maybe it's the dull murals, I can't put my finger on it, but the result is kinda tacky. Service was fine. Food was fine. The portions were generous and the presentation was, well, presentable, but the food itself wasn't very memorable. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Feeling indifferent to it. In between "Meh. I've experienced better," and "A-OK."
This is really not the best place to experience the Iron-bound district delights of Newark. The only thing that was delicious is the lovely Portuguese bread they serve. The portions are huge but the cooking is very uninspired. My sauce tasted like they had not 'rued' the flour base-all i could taste was raw flour and while the dish was advertised as shrimp and scallops i got ONE scallop and a whole group of overcooked small shrimp. Even the tea water was less than piping hot.
The service was good, the waiters tried but they don't have much to work with.
This place was attended on a weeknight. It was fairly crowded. The tables were very close together. There were no complaints about the service or the staff. It was all wonderful.
For appetizers, the shrimp in garlic sauce and clams in green sauce were ordered. The shrimp in garlic sauce was amazing. The sauce had a nice little kick to it that I was not expecting. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. The best part of the meal was the dunking of the bread in the sauce. The bread was fluffy in the middle and a little crunchy on the outside. The sauce just soaked right into the bread. It was unreal on how tasty it was. The clams in the green sauce was great too. The clams were not sandy at all. I was just disappointed only about 10 clams were served. The bread was again dunked into this sauce, which was the best part.
For an entrée, I ordered the stuffed salmon. There was also a side of Spanish rice, carrots, string beans, and 3 small potatoes. The portion size was huge. The salmon was a little bland I thought, but the sauce that was on top of the salmon was tasty. There could have been more of the sauce. There was plenty of crabmeat stuffed into the salmon.
I also tried the lobster that was prepared in a hot tomato, pepper, and onion sauce. The lobster was a little tough, and the sauce was not that hot, but still good. I am glad I did not order this. The portion size was again huge.
Will I go back? No doubt.
