The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured. The wine list with over 180 selections is an ambitious one that keeps growing, but sure not to disappoint the discriminating connoisseur.

Expensive but delicious. Everyone was super nice and the service was great. The music is clubby and I could do without that but loved everything else.
food was delicious, service a bit slow. was a bit concerned with the amount of tables occupied and seeing people with a more “relaxed” approach to masks, so for a covid safe experience some improvements would have to be made...
Everything was so delicious! Service was excellent! We really enjoyed our dinner there!
Best quality food and service you can find in and around NY and NJ. Don't let the relatively understated and unassumed neighborhood fool you - this is top quality
The ultimate compliment; Adega is the best restaurant in the Ironbound.
Hidden gem. Nice warm restaurant with Modern wall fireplace on the bar side. The dining side is warm with a real fireplace and the entire restaurant has stacked stone
Walls. Food was outstanding along with the service. Great menus for fish and meat alike.
Great food and amazing atmosphere in the restaurant. Daily specials are always amazing!
my favorite place always great food and sangria the best
The service and food is excellent. Manager Marco always helpful and attentive to diners and staff
Food was not good! All seafood is frozen! Mariscada was watery with no flavor and mussels were super hard. Actually all seafood was overcooked! Ribeye Texas steak was cooked to medium when I asked for rare! Not going back. Appetizers weren’t good either.
The food was beyond amazing. Came for Valentine’s Day. My woman loved it.

Great place!
Had seafood. Red snapper,shrimp, and scallops -everything was over cooked. The presentation was and the flavor was good. First time moh y food came out this way. Oh and the dessert was old and stale. That was a waste of money.
Loved the whole atmosphere! Food was on point waiters was excellent!!
Great service and excellent food! Very nice and cozy setting.
They are exceptional in caring for their guest. I always feel welcomed and taken care of
The food is amazing! The grilled salmon with stuffed crabmeat is an excellent. Personally, the paella is the best in the area. Not only is the food superb, but the gorgeous ambiance and fantastic service makes the time there extraordinary.
Food was delicious, service was great . Well worth the money
We had a great meal and the service was outstanding. We we go there again when we are back in Newark. It was a great find.
Went for dinner with my bestie. Lima was out waiter he was very nice. The restaurant is a Gem. From upon entering we was wowing because inside was so beautiful. So glad we went and of course the food was delish from apperrizers to our main dishes. Definitely will return and tell my foodie friends about it.
Adega Grill was better than expected. The place was very elegant. The service was amazing, the staff were very professional and tidy. The ambiance and music set the mood. And of course dinner was delicious. Will definitely highly recommend and go back on a regular. Overall gem of a place.
Delicious food, amazing ambiance and couth staff.
They redid half the restaurant! I still prefer the old half. We went on a Sunday evening. It was a super light crowd. We felt very safe! The red sangria was delicious. We both got paella. HUGE portions! Honestly, we could’ve shared one plate & still had leftovers. The wait staff were OUTSTANDING!
I had a wonderful early dinner my mother. Fantastic seating great service and food. Mom was happy I am happy. Thanks for a great day.!
Love Adega Grill! My husband and I hadn't been back since the pandemic closed everything down. We finally made it in this week, and it was better than ever! We sat in the new dining area which was bright, fun, and energetic. We were so happy to see Marissa, our favorite bartender, still working there. Marissa was very attentive to our group of 4 and kept the delicious sangria coming. Our server was awesome as well (sorry, can't remember his name), answered all of our questions and was very attentive. Can't wait to go back!
Excelente todo en sentido general
Great food nice place ! Waiters were great definitely coming back
The food is great, the ambiance is great. Will dine here again.
We sat upstairs and had a huge dinner party. The restaurant is a hidden gem in the Downtown Newark area in the "Ironbound" section. This restaurant is very clean and elegant. The waiters were Outstanding and went above and beyond. My cousin requested they have a raise due to the excellent customer service we were provided. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here for happy hour, a date night, dinner or a special occasion. I visited this place back in the day, years ago, and the service has always been great. We were very satisfied with the turnout of the birthday dinner party. I definitely give this restaurant five stars!
Great time! Excellent food & service. Highly recommend!
Real friendly atmosphere excellent steaks plenty of room for social distancing and very clean!!
Would love to all four stars but the waiter was taken too long to come back to the table
Great experience, amazing food, and we were taken care of with top service
