This was not a good lunch , the fire alarm ruined the whole lunch , the meat was super salty and there was way too much food for 1 person , in my opinion they should charge a more reasonable price and give smaller portions , or let you know before you ordered, no pictures on the menu either

Before the renovations they had a good atmosphere and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We decided to go see the renovations and see if they had anything new on the menu. We got there and the restaurant was very slow, didn’t have many people, and the staff weren’t very welcoming. We went to sit and the guy asked if anyone wanted wine (only four out of nine of us drank wine). The guy didn’t ask if anyone wanted any other drinks. There were a lot of mosquitoes around our table and we left all bitten. Then we got the food and it was okay nothing out of this world, the staff rarely check in with us. We then got the check and for the food that we got and the atmosphere it was too expensive. About 2 minutes of us leaving and going to the parking lot across the street the guy waves us down staying they gave us the wrong check. We go back inside and the server grabbed the cash that he had threw it on the bar top and starts yelling “you guys gave us less money then the check. I counted and it was wrong, you count the money” I told him to count again because we made sure to put the correct amount. He counts again and I see that he didn’t count one of the $20, so I told him to count again. He recounts the money and then looks at us and says “oh you did give the right amount, my fault”. I would not recommend this place to any of my friends or family.

Excellent food and service. The chicken was tender and the flavor out of this world. I could cut my chicken with a fork. The black beans were seasoned to perfection. The veggies was awesome Rice was great. Not to mention the bread and olives we could not get enough. The shrimp’s were also excellent my brother ate all of his shrimp which he seldom does. The gave a lot of shrimp it was deveined.

Haven’t been here in a while and it’s not the same. The meat came out way too salty, and no flavor in the rice. They will have to definitely increase the quality like how it was before for me to come back.

I booked this restaurant together with my goddaughter for her mother’s retirement party because it’s very well located specially for those who work at the international liberty Newark airport in Newark, nj . Well at the beginning everything was very slow and I even got up and asked for the waiter/ waitress assistance but once the amazing appetizers started coming out I was very delighted. The package we chose included the appetizers ( garlic shrimps, Portuguese sausage, calamari and clams.) Then the choice of the main course was amazing ( paella, paella valenciana, chicken Marsala, steak, salmon) even the dessert choice ( flan, creme brûlée, chocolate mouse, rice pudding) they were all delicious options and great portions. So if you are in Newark, NJ please go and eat there.

I ordered this around 6:00- 6:30 pm on a Sunday. I arrived at 7:35 and when I gotten it. The bag was opened and food juice was dripping out of the pan. I’m not new to eating paella/ paelha Valenciana.In fact I have eaten from this restaurant in person quite often. I don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen. Nor who was cooking but clearly the chef must have exited the building. When you pay over $40 for a dish. Your are not looking forward to getting a half of a lobster, less than a five pieces of shrimp, scallops, four oysters, mussels,small chunks of fish, and some kind of meat. I couldn’t even identify that piece of meat. Oh yes I counted the shellfish. When I tasted the dish. It was god awful.,It was tasteless to say the least. Omg all of the shellfish tasted as if someone had just taken them straight out of water and placed them into the rice. Anyone that is a fan of paella knows that the rice and sauce makes the dish. Especially if the seafood has been seasoned well. You would find yourself holding them all in your mouth moving it around because it taste so good. When it taste that good you find yourself eating more than one plate or bowl. Well that wasn’t the case with this dish. It was hideous I honestly wanted to cry . Who committed such an act in the kitchen of this great restaurant. I used to buy this dish and take it all the way back to my home state to show folks what real Spaniard food taste like. The sight took you away long before the smell reached your nose. Than once you tasted it lord you just knew that the chef put their love of cooking into this dish. The chef must have lost the love of cooking or just wanted to leave this night. I placed my bread into the dish for this picture. They even made the bread smaller. I know that Covid is running rampant. I know with that in mind everyone has been ordering their food online. Just because we find ourselves having to order online, doesn’t mean that we should receive less quality food. In fact this is how you win over more customers. You serve them food that their palette falls in love with folks. I will keep you all posted with my updates
