Management, I am completely at a loss for words, as is all of our family and friends. YOU my friend are the hardest, most efficient, and driven person I have ever in my life worked with. First, I would like to apologize on behalf of some of my guests. They specifically told me to apologize for being in the way or getting lost around the venue. They continued to say that you were "Ella jefa" (the boss lady) of the night. You were a single woman running such an incredible extravaganza. Despite the minuscule hiccups, you are the reason all of these people experienced the best time of their lives. Thank you for helping me to bring everyone together in such a beautiful and comfortable space. Your staff were all so humble and attentive. There was not ever one moment that you forgot about Andrew and I. We were sooooo excited to eat the white castles and donuts when we got back to the hotel! Our guests and added entertainers loved the venue, they kept raving about how beautiful and well managed the venue was..." How did you guys find this place!!?? It is Awesome". I especially appreciated you having our back when a vendor was trying to leave early (not on management's watch lol!). If I could, I would just keep going on with this email but I'm sure you have other important emails to get through.  I thank you by the bottom of my heart and soul... I hope to work with you again one day soon, maybe something smaller next time . Thank you, Maegan & Andrew read more

The Mediterranean Manor is a spectacular place to dine the food is delicious and the staff is inviting and warm

I just organized a retirement party for my mother at The Mediterranean Manor for around 130 guests. I worked with both Jack and Chistina when organizing the event. They were both very helpful throughout the process. They made it easy to choose Mediterranean. They are well prepared and fairly priced. Once the day of the party came, the staff of the Mediterranean were great. No over the top people, but rather the staff was polite, ever-present yet never distracting. I always felt like someone was ready to help me. The food was awesome. Plenty of food. Always coming out. You cannot beat their buffet service. They are not on your back. In many places when the party come close to the end of contract (say 5 hours), management is there to pull the plug. The Mediterranean Manor treats you properly. We were never rushed. I highly recommend the Mediterranean Manor for an event... and I've had their Rodizio too... recommended as well. Chris read more

I just had a lunch banquet here and was very impressed by the quality and quantity of the food. All the food was served hot and the service was very efficient and friendly. Everyone in attendance had nothing but great things to say about what they ate and we are planning to have our holiday party here. read more

Mediterranean Manor - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

From a food family, an aunt and uncle had a 40th anniversary party and As a certified chef and pastry chef my wife and I have high standards - which, the family always turn and ask "so what do you think?". Which, The Mediterranean Manor meet and exceeded our expectations for sure here and when we were planning our wedding. The Mediterranean Manor is producing artisan cuisine that tastes great. Flavor not only includes taste, but look - and these folks create affordable works of art served with a hospitable touch of class. Patchague is hot now, and this is the hearth of the town. Well done, classically pristine: 5 out of 5 read more

Portuguese celebration. Food was from varied areas of Portugal. Some was incredible, others were merely "meh!" The entertainment was great, Portuguese dancers, loud music, ethnic pride abounded. Very nice though I believe the dancers had no affiliation with the hall. Bread was excellent. Service fine. Only issue, no knives. Maybe they feared my upbringing and wanted no sharks vs jets. Otherwise, acceptable. read more

What a downgrade of a restaurant. Used to be so good. One of the best in Newark to now one of the worst. Decor inside is very nice but the food is terrible. Had one of the best BBQ chickens but now they don't. Such a shame read more

I just had my daughter's first communion party (for ca. 50 people) at the Mediterranean Manor. Working with Jack and Christina was a pleasure - they were very responsive and accommodating. The food was very good, appetizers were plentiful and tasty. The service staff was very responsive, polite and efficient. The dessert table was great - wonderful fresh fruit in big quantities, and Portuguese pastries (huge variety), mousses etc. so that everyone found something great to finish their meal with. I would definitely go back there if I needed to organize another family party. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a party/banquet location in the Ironbound. For the quality of the food, location and service, they are very fairly priced. read more

Love this place...wish I was closer, so I can visit more often!

I was there to celebrate New Years Eve. We were told it would be no more than 600 people, but when we got there, you could tell it was way more than that..the food was NOT good at all...I am Portuguese so I know what I should expect from a Portuguese restaurant. The place that night was way too overpacked....we could not move...this was my first and last time celebrating there!!!. Last week-end I had a Company Christmas party to attend there....again I was disappointed by the food!!!! Honestly, try Solar do Minho, Seabras Marisqueira, Portugalia, Fernandes instead!!!! Way better!! read more

Went here for a christening lunch/party. They were unable to get food on the table for 3 hours. Bad for the numerous little ones and seniors in attendance. A number of guests left before lunch was served. They were fortunate because once it arrived, the food was ice cold and inedible. Horrible experience. Stay away!!!!! read more
