Went there late night on a Sunday and they were very accommodating. The food is ok but not enough flavor for me-the rice, potatoes, the fish. It was all too bland.And then the big blow was the large bill. They wont be seeing my family again unless they revamp the menu. read more

Im surprised this place doesn't have 4 stars. I found it to be great. So much fresh seafood at reasonable prices. I tried the Dungeness crab app which is like a cold spread to be eaten with bread, it was delicious! We then shared a seafood platter that was more that we could even finish. It came with a lobster tail which was cooked to perfection, the shrimp were just huge, and the fish was soo tender that even a fish adverse person like myself enjoyed it a lot. It also came with literally a pot of mussels, can say enough about the broth they were simmering in. In terms of service, they seem to be ok. The waiter was nice enough and made good recommendations. The place is a bit out dated, but if what you're looking for is a good seafood place this is a great option. read more

Seafood here is amazing. My two friends and I ordered Frutos do Mar na Cataplana (for 4 - around $75) and it was definitely too much food. Everything on that plate was absolutely delicious, seafood was fresh and lightly marinated to bring out its natural taste. We arrived at 6'20 on a Saturday night and got seated right away. It is nice that there are a couple of parking lots around. The place has great ambiance, I like how everyone here sings Happy Birthday song and applause for a birthday person. read more

Excellent Portuguese food. I loved it was so good. Fun friendly atmosphere. Sitting next to other tables is a very cozy ambiance. If you are seeking a private quiet environment, this not it. Dining is very communal. Service is good but be prepared to wave down your server if you need them. Seafood was fresh and tasted delicious. we thought the portions were generous. read more

Very good sangria, seafood, atmosphere and service. Every time come here I order something different. I've never been disappointed.

This place was the worst restaurant that I have ever been in highly unsanitary food all over the floor garbage laying all over ordered a plain 3 lb lobster they charged me $120 just for the lobster took a hour just for appetizer just my wife and myself 3lb lobster octopus appetizer pork dinner pitcher of sangria 3 glasses of wine cost me with tip $260 unbelievable will never go back I hope I don't get sick seafood area where they cook was like picking food out of the garbage so unsanitary I don't know how they are in business . read more

Been a regular for the last 20+ years, always enjoyed the food and the staff was friendly and professional. It has gotten to a point that I won't even suggest it to my friends, food has consistently been mediocre and the place is long overdue for a facelift. To make matters worse, I have "accidentally" been overcharged on three separate occasions. Not worth the stress, many options available. read more

Seabra Marisqueira - Pork Alenjena - Portuguese Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

They used to be good but then they commercialized. For example the calamari is frozen and not fresh. They used to be fresh cut into circles and have tentacles as well. The food can tend to be a bit flavorless. The steaks they cook are wet. If you want good beef or steak go to a Brazilian restaurant as they are well known for their technique. The restaurant does add their tip automatically to the check. A waiter charged an extra dollar to the soup that was ordered so that he could get a higher tip. As for the servers they look miserable,overworked,tired, and aren't friendly because of it. I won't be going back. Time to go to a new place in the Ironbound. read more

Everything is good! Warm soft bread, tasty salads, amazing sangria and the seafood is delicious. My husband & I have been eating here for about 6 years. We normally eat from the daily specials menu and at the lively bar area. As soon as I walk in, I feel like I am out of the US. The staff is friendly and attentive. We always bring people that are visiting the area to Seabras and they love it! No frills, just great food. read more

Seabra Marisqueira - Portuguese Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I went on a trip to Portugal recently and on the last day I was in Lisbon and ate dinner by myself at a famous restaurant "Marisqueira Cervejaria Ramiro". In English, Marisqueira roughly translates to "Seafood Emporium" and Cervejaria "Beer Hall". That's what this place was - seafood and beer, no frills. Due to an appearance on "No Reservations" with Bourdain, it's constantly packed, mostly with tourists. I waited for close to a hour and a half for a table and it was more than worth it. It was, simply put, the best meal of my life. First I ordered bread and butter - it comes it little connected rolls. I started scarfing these down as I was famished from a whole day of sightseeing. Then the oysters came out - a dozen. These were the biggest oysters I have ever seen in my life. My waiter (who was awesome) quickly refilled my Sagres (the only beer they serve) and brought out more bread, without me having to ask. You take the hunks of oyster and put them on the bread - simply fantastic. Then - the main course. Giant Tiger prawns. Probably cooked in nothing more than oil, butter, garlic, wine, and some spices. The meat was the most unbelievable thing I have had in my life. Again, eat them using the rolls as a vessel - simply unbelievable. By the end of the meal I was satisfied as I would ever be. I left the next day and didn't have time to eat before boarding my flight home to Newark. I'm starving and the bad airline food doesn't help. The entire flight I was on my phone, looking up why we don't have restaurants like this in the States. I search for Marisqueiras or Cervejarias in Manhattan - no dice. Then the lightbulb goes off - I remember Newark (the city I am flying to!) is known for the Ironbound, a vibrant Portuguese, Brazilian, and Spanish neighborhood. I quickly search "Marisqueira Newark" and come across Seabra's. I read a few reviews, all outstanding, and immediately think this may help me get my fix. I resolve to go there as I soon as I get off the plane. I walk in and see the long bar. A friendly bartender sees with my luggage, a little drenched in rain, and offers to let me put it into a storeroom. I sit at the bar and order a Sagres. I hear Portuguese being spoken by all the staff and most of the diners at the bar or tables in the front and immediately start smiling to myself. I order the same thing more or less - oysters and giant Tiger prawns (the dish was called Gambas Grelhadas, or Tiger Prawns spicy Mozambique style). Same bread and butter too. It was like I was back at Ramiro, eating the same meal I had been salivating over for the past 24 hours. The only thing that was different was the at Seabra's they also give you a plate of rice and these things that are a cross between French fries and potato chips - great for wrapping hunks of prawn meat in. It was a nice touch. There is a more varied menu here, but it's definitely seafood centric. It's a similar setup too - open kitchen and you can see tanks of lobster and prawns and oysters over ice on the way to the dining room. The prices are reasonable, and the service is very good as well. I left for the train at Penn Station a very happy dude. Since I can't go to Lisbon without getting on a plane, I will coming here to get my Portuguese food fix from now on. I am already planning on trying to convince my friends to make the trip over from New York! Thank you Seabra's! read more

The besttttt place for a nice meal when youre looking to show off a bit. A bar in the front and a red table cloth restaurant in the back. I usually get the cold seafood platter and it easy feeds four. The octopus with olive oil that come with the platter is to die for. The paella is good as well and feeds two generously. Excellent service and even better atmosphere! read more

Decided to order food for our family visiting from out town and was very disappointed. The $23.50 advertised on the website for the Mariscada and Paella was incorrect , ended up paying $85 bucks Wouldn't have mind if it was good food, however when we got home and started to serve the Paella was burnt. Shrimp was black and the smell of the burn rice was overwhelming. The Mariscada was over done with paprika. The previous comments of prejudice on the website was confirmed, specially when the waiter was trying to correct me on my own name. I give them a F for failure, lack of customer service and disappointed in the food taste. read more

This restaurant is very popular and if you don't make reservation on weekend... you out!! But Jerry was the most nicest waitress ever!! He made a way for us in a small table. He was all over the place to find chairs and he didn't have to do that. He was very kind serving us even with the restaurant completely packed !! We were pretty happy to eat codfish!!! Amazing!! Thank uuu read more

Came here at 1230 am after a concert at the prudential center in Newark. This was about a 15 min walk from the venue and I found it from yelp, I was looking for anything open really. My wife and I were kinda drunk so anything other than fast food would've been fine. We walked in and sat right at the bar. I ordered us 2 drinks and quickly looked at the menu. Right away I saw seafood dinner for 2 for 66$ I didn't even look at the description or what was in it and I ordered that. After about 20 min of looking at everyone around us getting these great looking seafood plates ours finally came out. Omg, it was a huge portion of different types of seafood. Literally a plate that was 2 feet long had shrimps the size of my fist, a 1 1/4 pound lobster, a huge bowl of mussels in a great tomato sauce, stuffed clams, rice, 2 pieces of flounder, and freshly made potato chips. They gave us a delicious red dipping sauce, I didn't know what it was but it tasted great. The seafood tasted fresh and was cooked with a nice Peruvian seasoning and butter. I would return to this place If I'm in the area again, great service and great food. Obviously all that food was too much for us two, so we wrapped up what we couldn't eat. The left overs fead us twice the next day, twice! So we got 3 sittings out of this meal, def worth the 66$. read more

This is my me and my sister's date spot. Love the gigantic broiled salmon and paella. The lobster special on Thursdays can't be beat.

Saturday night dinner, we arrived at 5:50PM, waiting 5 min for a seat (party of 3, 2 adult and 1 child). The food was good, taken notes from the reviews, we had order, garlic shrimp, octopus salad, and Frutos Du Mar Cataplana (seafood in tomato sauce). For our 3 year old, we order the fillet of Sole (taken notes from review, we asked for fries instead of rice). Cons - after the octopus salad, the shrimp and seafood dish took more than 40 min. the waiter said that the seafood dish could take while.. Pros - taste was great. Octopus Salad was very flavorful and the texture was soft. The seafood in tomato sauce, yumm.. the sauce was PERFECT for the rice. The portion is quite large as well. i had the shrimp in garlic sauce as an entries, love the potato chips so very crispy and not greasy.. my son's dish was quite tasty as well, he ate 3/4 of the fillet and all the fries. well at least he ate the fish. :-) they are quite busy on a saturday night, hence after we requested our bill, took over 15 min before it came. Our waiter was great, explained to me the reason, I suppose they can work the logistics better if they would like the table turned a bit faster. All in all - it was a good experience, we will be back.. read more

I will never go back here again. A few months ago my friend and i came here for some seafood paella. A coworker from my old job told me that we should try it. It was very bad. I we couldnt even finish the rest. Thats how bad it was. The rice was overcooked and mushy and the paella itself was extremely bland. No flavor. We actually sat down and ate inside. We didnt know what was going on and couldnt understand why it tasted so bad. I also order fried calamari rings. (Rings only) again no flavor. Very bland. As if they coated the rings with plain flour and threw into the oil. I couldnt even finish the calamari. Up to this point i never usually wrote reviews on yelp. I only would use it to read about other places but i had to say something about what my friend and i experienced that evening... read more

The food is good but the place is very small, dirty and crowded. The waiters are not good and they get money, cut bread and lemons without washing their hands. The food took too long to come, good but the prices are very high for the poor service they offer, the 20% tip is already added in the bill. I'm not returning , there are many other places in Newark with better service, clean place and price. La comida es buena pero el lugar es muy pequeño, sucio y lleno de gente. Los meseros no son buenos y reciben dinero, cortan el pan y los limones sin lavarse las manos. La comida es buena pero tardan mucho tiempo en servir, los precios son muy altos para el mal servicio que ofrecen, ya está agregado el 20% en la factura. No regreso, hay muchos otros lugares en Newark con mejor servicio, lugar y precio. read more

The hubs and I came here because of the wait at another restaurant...my stomach was eating itself, I couldn't bear to wait 45 mins...or so I thought. From start to finish we had to be here about 2.5 hours and most of that was spent waiting on food. Very busy restaurant, lots going on. No one at the door for seating so we walked around the bar to find an open seat. We found a spot near the kitchen- first mistake. The servers are very heavy handed with those plates... I listened to them slamming and throwing the dirty plates into the tub meant for the dishwasher for my entire stay. Had a headache for the night as a result. We placed our order and waited. And waited, and waited. Appetizers arrived first and were subpar. The garlic sauce on the shrimp definitely left something to be desired. The flavor was just lacking, it was more oily than garlicky if that makes sense. Clams casino was ok, but nothing to write home about. Dinner arrived after another 25 mins or so, his short ribs were fatty and he kept discarding chunks of fat (update: even though he took them home, he still wound up throwing the ribs out.) I usually get filet mignon but decided I'd try a different cut...shell steak. Another mistake. Even though it was cooked rare, it was still tough and I found myself sawing through the meat. It reminded me of the pics you see with the steak that's been glued together, yuck. The highlight: sangria! We had a half pitcher of red and it was strong and tasty. It was time for the bill and when I handed over my credit card, I was told the card machine was broken and there was an ATM outside. Definitely an inconvenience as I intended to use credit, not cash. All in all, over $100 spent and I probably won't be back here. read more

Great food.. sea food with quality and nice taste ...so good ...delicious and healthy .....

The food on this occasion was good. However upon reviewing the guest check, I noticed an increase in the overall bill. Apparently, the owner has yet to disclose that the gratuity is applied to the bill (it was noted as TAX)! If you are disingenuous about that, then I questioned your intergity. I'm done with supporting this place and suggest others do the same. BTW You could redeem yourself by investing in a computerized system instead Handwritten notes/guest check billing. read more

Seabra's is still somewhat under the radar but is consistently packed; there is a front room which contains their extra large bar and a few tables and a back room which has more of a catering hall feel - if the bar is packed, wait for something to open up instead of opting for the back. Though one might think that the bar is just for drinking, those in the know enjoy their complete meals there along with family and friends, children included. Sitting at the bar grants you a front row seat to all the delicious plates flowing out of the kitchen and a view of the fresh seafood displayed in the center area, the servers are friendly and entertaining - the four tables by the windows can be reserved. No matter how hard we try to order something new - we always wind up with the same, we just can't pass up our favorite dishes. Portion sizes are huge and prices are reasonable for high quality seafood especially when you consider that you can get at least two meals out of an entrée. I highly recommend the octopus salad, cockles appetizer, Açorda de Marisco and the Carne de Porco à Alentejana, but really - everything is excellent. Seabra's Marisqueira has a few Portuguese beers, tasty sangria and one of the best Caipirinhas in town. Parking lot across the street, bring your ticket for validation. read more

Came by to eat before a soccer game at the Redbull Stadium. Great food! You can really tell the food is freshly cooked. One thing I would say is when you walk in, you just have to keep walking straight down the hallway past the bar. Entrance is a little confusing especially with no employee present at first. But the cool thing is when you keep walking down, there's a wide window of their entire kitchen so that you can see the cooks freshly make their food. Besides that, I ordered the grilled salmon and it was probably the best I ever had. Unfortunately, their garnishes with whole cooked potatoes and cooked cabbage weren't as appetizing. Perhaps mashed potatoes or some other addition would have brought the dish all together. Also, we ordered the white sangria pitcher, however it tasted way too fruity along the lines of Tang. But, the Tang got the job done! One thing - it does feel a little crowded with all of the tables touching, but I'd rather them have more tables for minimal wait time. Also, parking across the building is free with a ticket from the valet and needs to be stamped by an employee from the restaurant by the end of your meal. read more
