From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.

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.

Food was just good but not great but service was terrible- it was like competing waiters, bus people and who knows else circling the table all night. No one on same page. The place needs a new system. Room was dark. Best part of night was the sangria.

Servers were extremely attentive. The lettuce wasn’t washed properly in the salad however, everything else was exceptional. If you don’t eat pork, please make sure to ask about ingredients because they are not clearly stated in the menu for every item. Other than that, I will definitely be going back. I cannot stop bragging about how delicious everything was. Adega, keep doing what you’re doing.

The restaurant was beautiful and everyone was kind. The high reviews are what brought us there for Mother's Day, but the food was mediocre. No cherry peppers in the calamari. The crab stuffing was 95% bread. Just okay and not good enough for the price.

Food was amazing last night! The service was a little slow. We had lots of bus boys but didn't see our waiter much. We had to ask for water many times and the check took 45 minutes to come. Otherwise, it was great!

Excellent food, service, ambience. Paella as always was delicious. Octopus entrée was incredibly generous and nicely rustic in flavor and appearance. The only thing keeping this from being a five star review was that the lobster in the paella was badly overcooked.

We would have liked more vegetarian options. We did not feel like the sides were that spectacular and worth the high prices. "Spanish potatoes" were potato chips. Although the chips were good, our multiple stays in Spain did not make us assume Spanish potatoes would have meant chips. The ambience was lovely and we felt underdressed. The service was fantastic.

We ordered fish and we all agreed that it was a little dry-i ordered the salmon and I was not crazy about the taste- my other friend has cod fish and was low in salt and a little dry- she did noticed it . I have been here before and tasted fish in a white sauce that was dwlicioys. The waiters were very nice, but the hostess was a bit rude asked us where we were going in a rude way.

We went before a Pru Center show. The food was served an hour after we ordered it. The food was mediocre at best . The prices were higher than on the web site—no doubt to take advantage of the Pru crowd. They had a special menu with prices pencilled in . Shockingly , they then added a 32 dollar tip to our $100 bill — 32 percent — and then they added a credit card service fee. So let’s see— raise the prices, add a huge tip and then add a credit card fee. Let’s rip off customers not once, not twice , but three times . I don’t mind paying a lot for a good meal and I’m a generous tipper, but I like to choose my own tip. And this was hardly a good meal. Anyhow I will never return to this place. And you shouldn’t go there either.

I have to say, I was extremely disappointed. After we were seated, a waiter didn’t come to our table for 15 minutes. The octopus appetizer was rubbery and not good at all. The paella Valenciana was not good either. I’ve had paella many times and this was the worst I’ve ever had. Bland and watery. We barely saw our waiter and he never brought the glass of wine I ordered. We had to get dessert because we were still hungry. The only positive was the cute, but narrow, bar where we met some fun people! We won’t go back.

Overpriced. Alaskan king crab legs came out cut into pieces and served with margarine instead of real butter. Normally Alaskan king crab meat is sweet, these tasted like they were refrozen which will take the sweetness away. Escargot was tasteless, sauce very watery. Staff lovely but forgot to get some items we requested.

The service was mediocre at best. Felt very rushed. We were not done with our appetizers when they came to say the entrees were on the way out and cleared our plates. Entrees didn't come out for a least another 6-8 minutes. Once the food was delivered we could not find a waiter for another drink, to pour our wine or get the check. Food was very good but very expensive. Entrees were upward of $40. Will not be going back!

Adega grill - it’s a good experience. All the food we ordered for 6 adults and a toddler was tasty. Only issue I had I wish there was less salt on the cod fish. On Saturday this area is congested so give yourself more time to park and get to the restaurant. They do have parking which was helpful. The prices are higher than the average for Newark.

It was sort of empty and I we went specifically so I could get a specific dish. The young man said that dish was only on the dinner menu, so I asked him to check with the Chef and he just got into a rant for some reason, THEN he asked me if there was some specific dish that I want so I said YES and then he said he can make an appetizer size of it!! ANYWAY, so happy we persevered, bc it was so delicious!! It may have been lost in translation! Delicious beyond belief! I had the same dish in another French restaurant, and it was terrible! Imagine that! The drink he offered us was fantastic too! It's a Portuguese Martini! U have to try it! First time guests and we will b back when in town again! They have a very upscale and modern bar area, but the dining room is very traditional, with a wonderful fireplace!! street parking was easy!
