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.

• Barbecue • Newark
Vibe BBQ is an inviting and casual, all-day celebration of American comfort classics, putting house-smoked meats at the center of the plate. "I've been in this country for over 30 years, and BBQ has been one of the cuisines that I have loved most. It's a food that is known as classic American, but it's also about the culture, the taste, the feel, and the vibe for me. Eating with hands, eating outside, eating in someone's backyard with family and friends. I'm drawn to the vibe of BBQ, which is where the name comes from. BBQ culture lives here like nowhere else."

    Took mom for her birthday dinner and she loved everything. From salad course to entree to the noise level, she was impressed. Raved about the food. Bacon wrapped scallops were very good and the fish soup with shrimp and clams were my personal favorites. Mom had carrot cake for dessert and loved it too! Come here for an intimate setting. Good date spot after an event in downtown Newark.

    Fantastic Dining Experience The food quality was excellent! The tapas selection, including the steak tips, crab cakes, scallops, and clams, was superb—each dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. While parking was initially a challenge, the extremely considerate staff quickly provided clear directions, making it a non-issue. The sangria was so good, it was almost dangerous! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch food and service.

    Great quality food, ambience and service. The prices on the menus need to be updated as some are still outdated from the summer happy hours. We went during a work day around 3pm so there were no happy hours or specials at that time. Overall, we had a positive experience and it was enjoyable.

    Friendly staff, very slow drinks from the bar when the dining room wasn’t even a 1/4 full. Delicious food and dedicated teamwork.
