    We were looking for a location for a repass after my uncle's funeral and decided on the Armory. I had used them several years ago for a repass gathering and they were able to accommodate 50-60 people at the last minute. This time we were looking to accommodate 100 plus, and I must say, Alejandro in catering (not sure of his exact title), delivered an exceptional service and meal. We secured a private room on the second floor that had a deck with a wonderful view of the water. The ambiance was perfect. We were able to choose 3 entrees; we went with the chicken breast francaise, beef brisket and the fish francaise. The menu is attached so you can see everything else that was included. You also have the option to upgrade alcohol (sangria, beer and wine). We did not, but people had the option to go downstairs to the Tiki Bar for drinks to bring back. The food was delicious and everyone raved about it. At the end, there was some food remaining and the staff professionally packed the items for us to take home. We have nothing but praise for the team at the Armory. Losing a loved one is tough, but being able to eat good food with family and friends at a great location is wonderful. The Armory is the perfect spot with ample room and parking. Book with confidence! Thank you again Alejandro!!!

    Monday night I decided let's drop convertible go for a ride down to the armory.I sat at the bar on the outside for the view. It was nice. The breeze was good. Sangria was good . We decided to get some appetizers. The scallops was just OK no seasoning no taste. The muscles was good and the bread was warm. Service was good overall we had a good time. I would definitely go back OK ...

    Sometimes the stars align. Happen to come the night Ecuador beat Germany in the World Cup. So it was pretty festive. Went with my summer camp buddies. Place is on the water. The weather was great so sitting outside was perfect. Our waiter was super nice. We started with fried calamari garlic shrimp. And garlic clams. All were so good. We shared a rib eye and Sea bass. Food was plentiful and good. A couple of pitchers of sangria. Only complaint is they add a tip. Which i kinda understand. But point it out upfront. Otherwise a great experience

    First time here. This waterfront restaurant is very charming. They have an entire outside area set up with large tvs and a bar. There is an upstairs venue that I believe held a wedding. Reservations are recommended as it gets very busy. They have a free parking lot but it gets very busy!! The food is known for its fresh seafood and paella. We tried the soft shell crab and the tilapia very good. Service was slow due to how busy it was.

    This past weekend my siblings and I celebrated my mom's birthday here. I haven't been here since I celebrated both my daughter's Quinces and the place has been completely updated. It looks great inside and out, while also being surrounding by stunning views of the waterfront. We dined inside in the main dining area. They specialize in Portuguese cuisine and serve many traditional dishes. The appetizers were delicious and the food was good, but it was not all served to us at the same time and some of us had to wait. The service started out great, but as the restaurant filled up, we saw less and less of our waiter. Thank goodness for the busser Johanna who stepped in and took great care of us. They have two huge free parking lots on site. I definitely want to return and experience the outside dining area which looks fun. Add this to your list.

    This was my first time dining here in years, so I barely recognized it from the inside. It has a large dining space that also extends outside. Its waterfront location makes it a well known restaurant and preferred choice, overlooking the Raritan Bay. I ordered the steak which was minimally seasoned, served with yellow rice and chips. For dessert, I had the creme brûlée which is my go-to dessert. Everything was just okay, not bad but also not memorable. I recognize this is a seafood restaurant, and I did not order any seafood. I would be open to coming back and trying something different on the menu.

    The food here is very good. The waiter offered great service and the experience here was one of a kind. I'm going to recommend this place to my family and friends. It's next to the water too, so you get to take in a nice view of the water and boats. A great experience overall for anyone in my opinion.

    The CR&F Reserva brandy made with grapes that comes to life with the flambeed pineapples.

    Seabra's Armory is an excellent restaurant, save for two dings, sitting at the Perth Amboy waterfront. January is not the time of year to appreciate this location fully, but the restaurant interior is a large space with the front desk to the right of the entrance and the bar located behind the desk. The kitchen is on the left as you walk the length of the bar and it's large window allowing patrons to see its operations is confidence inspiring. Making my reservation was easy with a simple phone call and I arrived on time for my 5PM reservation. I asked for a seat with a good view, which was accomplished, but was of little utility at this time of the year when one is inside and daylight is short. I was immediately seated and poured a glass of ice water and my server, Gerculano, left the pitcher of ice water on my table. Nice touch. The bread he left was even better. I don't know the name of this Portuguese bread, but Portuguese restaurants serve this sourdough type bread and it is always a hit for my palate. It was served warm and the butter spread and melted into the bread nicely. I also ordered a great Portuguese brandy, CR&F Reserva, made from grapes. It has a nice mouthfeel, with some oils to accompany the smooth finish as it moves to the back of the palate. The notes did not stand out until later. We will come back to this brandy and why I recommend it. I ordered the Rodizio all you can eat, which, at $53, is a good value. I ordered medium rare, which was followed to a certain degree. Many of the cuts were coming out medium, but none overcooked for my tastes and preferences. They were all juicy and tender for the most part. They started bringing it out as you would find at Brazilian steakhouses, minus the green and red coun or whatever the Brazilians typically display on the table. The first marinated chicken chunks were actually very good. If you're working this to get to the steak, I would not skip the marinated chicken chunks, but I would skip the wings (had 2) and the sausage, the latter I did not have owing to the steak mission. Skirt and flank were better than the bacon wrapped filet minion and garlic steak. The sirloin is where it gets good. Even the cheese steak, steak with cheese cubes melted into the steak was very good. When you see the C shaped pinwheel steak come out, pay attention. That is really good. So is the short rib. Yeah, the short rib is very tender and the fat and marbling lend lots of flavor. The prime rib was the absolute best and it was served fairly close to the end of the meat servings. I only asked for a few slices of the spit, thinking I was near the end of my capacity and I could ask for more if I wanted. Well I was mistaken and this is where the first of two dings of the rating emerges. I was told there was no more prime rib and it was very early in the Saturday evening service. I asked twice. That is dishonest to me and it would ask that I set aside rationale and reasoning to accept they were out so early on a Saturday. The bottom line is when they serve you the prime rib, ask for as much as you can within your capacity at that moment. They will not come by with it again. This is one item that is not AYCE, but it is part of the Rodizio AYCE offering. Now I forgot to mention they serve a healthy amount of fries and fried onion rings with this meal. There is also shredded garlic greens, which may be collards, with the fries and onion rings. You also receive white rice and black beans. So this is a very high value meal and would make an ideal choice for many patrons. Many people around me, couples and large parties, were ordering the same. Now on top of it all, there are flambeed pineapples served in a sweet liquor sauce with cinnamon that sparkles when shaken onto the flaming pineapple slices on the plate. Not only does the acidic pineapple cut through the savory feast you just had, but its flavors bring out the flavor notes of the CR&F Reserva brandy. Brandy often has cinnamon notes as well as tropical fruit and oranges. All that comes to life in the brandy with the flaming pineapple, which is included in the Rodizio price. The brandy was necessary as a digestif, whether or not it actually helps. I waddled out of Seabra's Armory to my next destination after this lavish feast and it was a necessary half hour walk in the cold air. Just what the doctor ordered. I would have otherwise been in bad shape. My bill came to a reasonable $86, but here comes the second ding: they put the 20 percent gratuity on the check already. I really do not like this practice. It leaves a bad taste for the patron and it detracts from my evaluation of the experience at restaurants. I gave Herculano an additional cash tip for his work, but that does not excuse this practice. Leave the tipping to patron discretion please. Three and a half stars...

    Great experience and great food! Oysters _ 8/10 fresh, large and well presented. If it had more toppings would be a 9/10 Calamari with peppers - 9/10 solid sauce, peppers and calamari well cooked and tasted fantastic. - Paella-8/10 solid amount of seafood and flavors hit hard. Baranzini-7/10 good fish, bit boney could use a sauce on the side. Chicken Parmesan- perfectly cooked and large portion 9/10 Rodizio! Fantastic! Sides were good, Meat was amazing! Honestly service was fantastic and would be back in a heartbeat

    Came here recently to celebrate my friends birthday. Had a great time and good food. Always classy and great service. Portions were overwhelming. We had leftovers for days.

    I've had worse. The waterfront location, high prices, and three dining areas - under umbrellas, under a canopy, and indoors - scream tourist trap, but the meal slightly exceeded expectations. The strawberry basil crush is sweet and balanced, and the crab cakes crunchy and fishy on the finish. In fact I'd say the crab cakes were the best part of the meal, despite the busy presentation. Everything else was underseasoned. And that's a shame, because the seafood is definitely fresh. The nicely seared halibut has crispness, but not flavor, and I pulled four - four! - bones out while I was eating. The gorgeously broiled salmon was dry. My "baby" spinach was just regular spinach. Everything lacked herbal notes. At least the portions were generous. Our waiter did put in the wrong protein, but volunteered to fix it, unlike a previous poster. (We declined and so he offered us a free drink instead.) It got really loud at 4:30p on a Friday as they amped up the outdoor music to attract customers.

    Chicken Marsala and salmon with vegetables.

    To start, was reading prior reviews, and all were inaccurate or irrelevant to the food or location. We were blown away by the service from the door. Great attentive service by the host and were introduced to our server, Herculano(yes, he told us & spelled his name). Very attentive and service was excellent. To start, fenomenal octopus salad, good enough for two, as we awaited for the main course. All else was like cherry to a cake! Can't wait to return with the family and close friends. PS- parking was right next door, well lit area and water front area. Due to waiting time, we decided to try the indoor seating. Outside looks great!! We ordered the chicken Marsala with Spanish potatoes and steamed vegetables and salmon with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Price was good, specially for location. Atmosphere was calm and cozy.

    NY New York Strip Steak, Mashed Potato and Steamed Vegetables.

    Nice place. Service was a 5/10 and food I'll give it a 7/10. It's decent if you plan to stop by. They did take long to get our check. Mojito DO NOT recommend Ny strip was 24oz!!!! Huge didn't realize and they automatically add a 20% tip FYI

The Mixed Meat option had several different preparations of beef and a sausage served with a salad, french fries, and white rice. It was a generous portion of meat in a large plate. For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party. There is lots of space in the restaurant with different rooms. One room seemed specifically set up for large parties whereas another room was set up like a typical restaurant. Our party was able to relax and enjoy ourselves without ever feeling any time pressures from the staff. It was quite an enjoyable experience.

    After so many years of coming to this restaurant and loving it every single time, I can't believe…read moreI'm leaving this review. I'm not sure if it was because it was midweek or if the chef was simply off his game on this night, but the experience was disappointing overall. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was that my knife was dirty. I ended up taking another knife from a different table. The ambiance, as always, was wonderful, and there were only two other tables occupied, so the restaurant was not busy at all. They started us off with soup, and it was chicken noodle soup. I was honestly very disappointed. When I go to a Spanish restaurant, especially one like this, I expect something traditional like caldo gallego or a similar house soup -- not chicken noodle soup that I could easily make at home. For appetizers, we ordered shrimp in garlic sauce and calamari. Both were absolutely delicious and honestly the highlight of the meal. We also had to ask the waiter for bread, and when it finally arrived, we were each given one very small roll. Our main entrées were sautéed tilapia and shrimp in lemon sauce with mashed potatoes and string beans, and breaded veal cutlet Milanese with mushrooms in a wine and brandy sauce over mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, neither entrée stood out the way meals here usually do. The tilapia was sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes and absolutely swimming in lemon sauce. There was so much sauce that it completely soaked the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I could only eat the top portion of the fish. My husband also mentioned that his breaded veal was very oily. The waiter never returned to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. The water had no ice and felt warm. We also had to ask for additional bread. I'm used to bread being left at the table, not rationed piece by piece. When the waiter asked if we enjoyed our meal, I politely explained that I did not care for mine and why, especially since most of it was left untouched. He looked at me like I had ten heads. I truly hate writing this because this restaurant has been one of my favorites for years, but this visit just did not live up to the standard I've come to expect.

Looks like the place can get busy for dinner so probably best to make reservations.

The ambiance of Amada's is very "date night intimate". The lighting is fairly dim and the temperature of the restaurant is kept a bit warmer (the open marches concept probably also has something to do with that). It is tapas style so whole my boyfriend and I waited for the paella, we got a few plates to graze on. We started with a charcuterie with the jamon Serrano and manchego cheese. Im a big fan of truffle honey and you can't really go wrong with a simple charcuterie. We also got the setas and ensalada Verde. The mushrooms were well sautéed and the sauce they were served with was absolutely delicious. The ensalada verde was very much green heavy but thats exactly what we wanted. It was auite refreshing and the oil dressing wasn't overpowering the taste or making it feel greasy. The Paella we got was the squid ink rice - very flavorful. There was shrimp, clams, squid, and chucks of monk fish. It didn't feel like the seafood was skimped on. The only thing I personally felt was too much was the spicy mayo dallops. I felt like they made the dish feel heavier than necessary and overpowered the taste of the rice. The arroz con Leche was divine. Im biased because I love rice pudding but I think adding the puffed rice on touch was such a nice touch.
