Reviews

First time frequenting Primabel Bar & Restaurant in Newark so I was a little nervous.
Upon entering the establishment the place was pretty much empty, save for a few patrons sitting at the bar.
Normally when a restaurant is that empty it speaks volumes about the food but it was my birthday, my call.
I chalked it up to a slow Tuesday.
So we sat down and placed our orders.
For appetizers we ordered the clams in garlic and wine sauce, fried calamari with marinara, and for some reason my mother's husband ordered the soft tacos.
It took roughly 45 minutes before the appetizers arrived at our table.
The calamari and clams were pretty good but for some reason the soft tacos collapsed from the steam emanating from the picadillo.
The tacos couldn't hold their structure.
My mother's husband ended up eating the meat and veggies off the plate with a spoon and throwing away the tortilla.
Sad!! I didn't want to read too much into it but I had to worry if our dinners would end up the same way.
Thankfully, they hadn't.
I ordered the Spanish yellow rice with shrimp and scallops in a garlic sauce which was fantastic!! I would absolutely order it again! My mother ordered her usual: pork and potato cubes with clams in a brown sauce.
They nailed it.
The flavor profile of the three components is out of this world! Finally, my mom's husband ordered a shrimp and salmon dish in what looked like a creamy paprika sauce.
This time he literally sucked his dinner off the plate.
He completely devoured his dinner.
Three shots of espresso to finish off the evening!! Grade: B+ for the food and service!! I highly recommend them!!

Not sure what's going on with this place.
I think it changed ownership but we went there for a party during Portugal Day Parade.
It was great.
Place was pumpin.
Love music outside by parking lot.
Chei de novinhas e primas. Nice party but unfortunately police shut it down.
Not sure why but Newark PD are cockblocks. I hope they do more pagode parties.

The food was freshly made and delicious! The stuffed salmon was perfectly cooked.
