Adega Grill

Adega Grill Is FANTASTIC. Beatifully decorated, old school impeccable service, our server was AMAZING. And the food was so fresh and so good. I felt like I was in Portugal. We went for Father’s Day, last minute, an hour before kitchen closed and the experience, the food, the passion fruit sangria and our adorable, Portuguese server, made our night. Will be back very soon.

I was in town and was told Ferry Street had the best selection of food in the Ironbound area of Newark. My friends and I chose outdoor seating. I had the Parmesan chicken. It was delicious. My companions had stuffed lobster, and steak. The sangria’s are a must. Jose was our server. He was patient and very attentive. Please stop in if you’re in Newark.

We had our 40th Reunion for high school i.e. Saint Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey. Adega Grill was selected by the alumni advisory and event planning board. Adega Grill is a good local and non-chain restaurant located in the extremely busy Iron Bound section of Newark. Adega Grill is an upscale, casual and cozy authentic Portuguese and Spanish Restaurant with great food and drinks. They have a menu that boast fresh meats and seafood dishes with something for everyone. You can have a delicious and fresh meal coupled with warm, friendly, and very attentive customer service. The establishment is a really popular place with the locals and it is definitely a "Refreshing Change from the Chains!" It can get very busy in there so arrive early and you won't be disappointed. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by two hosts whom directed me upstairs where the private affair was occurring. Both of the event hosts were very friendly, pleasant, professional, and had a genuine smile. It was a Friday around 06:00 PM and I was immediately offered White or Red Sangria which was included with our dinner buffet. There was an open cash bar were you could order whatever you desired. The tables and seating was comfortable and very organized. The facility has a fireplace, unique restroom accommodations, and a unique rooftop setting. All of the team members at Adega Grill smiled and were very welcoming. Everything was absolutely delicious, kept hot, and the various buffet items were prepared and cooked to perfection. All of the meat and others items were very tasty and not salty as many Portuguese operated business products can be. For dessert, we had our choice of flan or cheesecake and I selected cheesecake with coffee. All of the servers very attentive, friendly, efficient, and happy to help! In short, the great food and awesome customer service made for an awesome group dinning experience! I will definitely be returning to bring my wife for dinner when we are in the Newark, New Jersey area to try some of their other appetizers, entrees, specials, and dessert.

Very fancy restaurant. There is dress code required. The restaurant is much bigger than it seems on the outside. The food was very good. Fresh vegetables and the meat is cooked to perfection. Portions are reasonably sized and the servers are very professional.

I have been to this restaurant many years earlier and it was always great. I was stuck in Newark because my flight was canceled, so I decided to see if it was still good. Wow! The service was excellent as always. My filet Mignon wrapped in bacon was amazing! The mushrooms delicious. What a great experience. The manager came by and checked on the experience. Definitely recommend!
