Service was excellent! I had early and the restaurant was not busy. The food was seasoned well and tasted good. My only complaint is the lobster tail didn't have enough lobster in it, which was disappointing.

On the way back from New York City, we made a lunch stop at Taste of Portugal in Newark. Although the skirt steak was delicious, the service was slow. I guess we caught them at a horrible time of day... For lunch, about 200 p.m.This is a neighborhood eatery with wonderful atmosphere and food that is definitely worth trying. The price is reasonable. $150 for a group of five. Excellent food selection. Excellent, but not outstanding. It's definitely worth looking into.

Service is amazing and food and drink even better. It’s a very popular restaurant. Renovations highly recommended. It’s a high end Portuguese restaurant. Dress nice and be ready to enjoy a great dinner experience of over two to three hours. Service is top notch and very attentive. I highly recommend the steak on the stone. It’s my family’s favorite go to. It’s a large piece of tender filet mignon cooked on a stone. Definitely an experience. Desserts are great and with a nice Porto wine.

After being in Portugal on a vacation I thought I should visit a Portuguese restaurant in Newark. The waiter was good but the food was not to my liking. My wife and I shared a seafood soup which was spicy, the calamari in the broiled seafood platter was rubbery and my wife’s sea bass was overcooked and dry. Overall a disappointing meal in a very noisy restaurant.

For a Friday night and even though they had a couple big groups having parties, I was able to get a table for one right away. The service was very good also! I started with nice rolls, olives, and Cabernet then had a broiled octopus entree, the whole octopus ( pictures of both are attached). The octopus was delicious and very tender.
From the moment we walked in, I knew this would be a special place. Imagine a dedicated team serving the table with a lead waiter, Giovani who was CUBAN at this lovely Portuguese restaurant. We hit it off right away! The setting was great, spacious and comfortable and la comida - fabulosa! Apps included salad, sausage and Sopa Gallego --wonderful! The entrees were great the daily specials provided filet minion medallions & shrimp, and plenty more including a turkey plate as well. We all shared and tasted everyone's food! Typical familia antics and shared desserts as well. Some of those stood out more than others, but all were tasty! Will definitely return one day!

Been going here for decades. I routinely take friends here when they have layovers at EWR. Steak on a Stone is all you need to know.

For the most part Food was good, the service was excellent, desert was served frozen, not homemade, that was disappointing. No rush to go back.

My party order the mix platter appetizer and it came with shrimp, chorizo, calamari, and clams.The shrimp wasn't deveined and the calamari was rubbery also the clams wasn't fresh. I order the red snapper stuffed with crabmeat and it was pretty good!
