We made a reservation scheduled for an hour and a half before our show at the Prudential Center. We arrived on time and expected to be able to order and eat within 1hr 15 mins to make the show. We ordered within 10 minutes of sitting down, did not order any appetizers—just main dishes (both fish). We told our server we were going to a show, and his suggestion was not to order the paella since it took 45 minutes to make. We took his advice, but our food still took an hour to arrive! We scarfed it down in under 5 minutes so we wouldn't be late for our show. It was good, but we could hardly enjoy it. I didn't even have time to eat most of mine. It appeared other tables were having the same issue. We raised the issue with the manager and there was no offer to comp or discount anything. Just “I'm sorry, this isn't typical.” I might give it another try on a night when I have 2+ hours to spare for dinner, but we left pretty irritated at the experience.

Food was good, fresh and tasty. I had the Paelha Valenciana, my daughter had the lamb chops and my husband had the porterhouse. Sides were skimpy. My husband said his steak was one of the best he's had.(no steak sauce needed)Service was great. Quiet laid back vibe. You could bring your parents and grandparents type of vibe. I prefer a livelier vibe with better music. Drinks were over priced. $36 for double shots and $16 for a small glass of sangria. Parking is scarce but cheap once you find a spot. Do feed the meters as the police are circling like vultures waiting to give tickets up til 9pm. We arrived at 7:15.

Great staff !! Amazing service! And the Frog legs- I was scared at first but the sauce made it delicious! Taste like chicken. Roof top nice as well!!

The food was amazing, we had a table of 6 and had a blast, the food was very good but the wait staff lingered a little bit over us but overall a great experience.

El restaurante siempre se a caracterizado por tener un buen servicio, pero el mesero que nos atendió fue la excepción.

If you're a foodie, you should give this place a try and have the filet mignon served on a hot stone with unions and butter. It was amazing.

Absolutely loved this venue. Started out Tropical Mango Mezcalita and White Sangria followed with fried calamari with a mango sauce......mouth watering. Entrees were baked Bronzini stuffed with crab meat, and grilled Salmon with shrimp....very tasty. Staff was friendly. Definitely two thumbs. Can't wait for our next visit.

The service at first was great.. but as soon as you turned down the $75 dollar bottle of wine (about $20 in a store) the pompous waiter pretty much ignores you after you place your order. Food is bland and overpriced.

The food is amazing as is the service! This is my family's favorite Portuguese restaurant in Newark!
This place was amazing. Service was great. The only thing I would recommend is to ensure all staff is equipped to answer questions. I had a question for a staff member but he said he would get the waiter. But they were great and attentive.

Loved the tilapia piccata and Portuguese sausage. The desserts were awesome. Dri (the waiter) was excellent. The only issue was we had a reservation but were seated in the bar area, not the main dining area. That should have been noted when we made the reservation.
