Very nice (romantic)atmosphere and top-notch attentive service. Delicious appetizer and entree and large portions with the best red sangria. It was a short walk from rear exit of Newark Penn Station to 130 Ferry St. Exterior Sign is being remodeled, so look for the number. It is about 6 blocks on the left side of Ferry while heading East. Defi
First of all the seating was next to a vent on the wall. I didn't notice until I got comfortable. The atmosphere and deco was appealing to the eye although needed dusting. I wonder if that was part of the "wine cellar" look because Adega translates meaning to wine cellar. We both ordered the portabella mushroom stuffed with crabmeat. It was a mushroom but I don't think it was a portabella because it was smaller than what I'm used to. I would have enjoyed it more it the waiter would have explained that to us.
This has nothing to do with the food or restaurant itself. It was a very beautiful atmosphere and food was delicious. The service was not what I expected though. The waiter took a very long time to come to our table every single time. When he finally came to "greet" us, he wasn't friendly at all. He didn't introduce himself, smile and barely talked. The very few words he spoke were in a rude tone, which made us feel uncomfortable because we were nothing but kind and polite to him even after all that. One of the guys came to clear the table and took the plate and utensils out of my hand as I was still taking my last bite. When we gave the waiter our certificate he almost didn't want to except it because he said I purchase years ago. The certificate doesn't even have an expiration date Honestly, I have never had a service like this in my entire life. I would go back to the restaurant in the future and hopefully have a better experience.
Seafood parillada and paella were excellent. Steak was a little dry.
Everything was just great. The food was excellent which include the king crab legs that was presented with garlic bread with olives (black&green) with sauted tomatoes to garnish the bread. The legs had a smoked grill taste that was wonderful. I can't wait to go back again just for that dish. Absolutely deeeeelicious!!! Complements to the chef and the servers were also delightful and handsome too!
One of ttge best restaurants in Newark's Ironboind District which is known for many excellent restaurants which attract visitors for good food.

The staff was very attentive and the food was amazing!
food was great service was atentive and great
food is great large portions
When it came to order wine. We were not advised of the price of type of wine that was available. We had to play 20 quesions to find out the information whihc seemed to annoy the waiter.
It was wonderful. This actually was my first time dining alone and the service and food was excellent. I have decided to exchange 3 more certificates to Adega so that i can return.
Food quality was poor for price paid. Very disappointing to spend so much and have food prepared poorly- steak not cooked as asked. Stuffed shrimp with crab - shrimp overcooked and crab stuffing overly breaded. Kept poring sangria without asking if we wanted more- very overpriced sangria at that.
We were disappointed in the food.
Have visited this restaurant several times and found the food very flavorful but during this visit, the shellfish was a little gritty. Service at lunch time was fine, the sangria was good and the atmosphere was perfect.
the food, service and sangria were outstanding
seafood can be funny but the food was fresh and cooked perfectly! The portions were huge and the service was superb. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Excellent serviceFish wasn't all fresha bit pricey
We continue to return to this restaurant because of their high commitment to service and the atmosphere is romantic. The food is good and plenty and the wait staff is friendly.
Food was fantabulous, service was great. Only complaint was host was a little rude
wait staff was unwelcoming and inattentive.Was also overcharged.
The food and service is exquisite!
There is an older gentleman that is a waiter and he seems to always give a hard time when we present the gift certificate. We have been waited by him twice. I give the certificate at the end and he makes a big deal that we didn't give it in the beginning. However, we met all the conditions for using the certificate, meaning we ordered 2 entrees, not on a Friday or Saturday. He just seems to like to speak his mind about when the certificate should be given and I feel that it is inappropriate to argue with a customer when we met all the conditions and the only "issue" according to him is that we have to give it to him prior to ordering but when we did that one time we get a T-bone steak that was the smallest I have seen and it had a lot of fat on it. Since then we give it at the end because we feel the quality of the food is less than optimal when the waiter knows we have a certificate.
Greatest service I have ever experienced anywhere
The food was amazing I got the seafood platter for two and it was so good and i got the calamari also sooo good. I will be back again with friends and family.
great atmosphere, delicious food
Service not as sharp as usual.
Lovely decor; outstanding service, food and portions.
Ordered t bone steak. Poor quality. Tough steak
the atmosphere and food was great. food was delicious. our main waiter accommodated us however he appeared annoyed at times.
The food is great and the ambiance is very nice but the waiters can sometimes be very shady. The bus boys are more helpful then the head waiters, which seem to be judgmental.
We have been there before but the service and quality of food was better than before, and we thought it was good before. Really enjoyed it. All the servers were really friendly. Thanks
good sangria, service and food
I have enough food to last till next week. The portions are huge. I really loved my meal, at least the little bit of it I could eat because it was so much food.
Great food. Great service.
great food and atmosphere
This restaurant is one of the best in all respects.
food is great had not eaten there in some time anxious to go back
Thanks to Restaurant.com we found another great place to eat
Desserts were froze. Charged for additional cup of coffee, although we were asked if we'd like a refill. This was not a mistake because I confirmed with our waiter that they charge coffee refills. I wouldn't go back there again because of this policy. Nice restaurant, but this was a turn-off.
I visited Adega Grill due to their participation in Restaurant.com However the food and service was excellent. I love the atmosphere and setting. I will be visiting again and also refer friends.
Live in Florida. Come up once or twice a year & love Adega Grill. Have told many friends who also frequent the restaurant now.
excellent
First time that I actually had dinner there. It was to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary. (Have been there for a Wedding Shower a few years ago.) Food was better than expected and atmosphere and people were very friendly and pleasant. Will gladly come back again.
The restaurant decoration is very nice, romantic setting; personnel very professional and the food excellent with good presentation and taste.
Excellent all around!
Very nice restaurant, good food and good service.
