I have been to a lot of restaurants in the Ironbound section of Newark, and Sol-Mar has been the best so far.
From the service to the food, just an excellent experience all around.
For appetizers, try the calamari, garlic shrimp, and chorizo.
The sliced bread the bring out is good but even better dipped in the garlic sauce from the shrimp.
For the main course there are so many good dishes to choose from.
Pork cubes with clams is a nice simple dish with a lot of flavor.
The skirt steak is done just right and tender.
The salmon had a ton of flavor.
And my favorite dish here is the braised beef short rib.
Supper tender and hard to finish cause of how much you get.
The Sangria is a good compliment to the meal also.

First time dining here and will definitely be back! We sat in the Villa Nova room, even though the room was large it still felt cozy and loved the atmosphere.
Our reservations were early on a Saturday so it wasn’t too busy, but by 6/6:30 they were starting to get their Saturday night dinner rush. Started the meal with the shrimp in garlic sauce appetizer.
The shrimp were nice and big and cooked perfectly.
The garlic sauce was so delicious we couldn’t get enough dipping the bread to soak up the excess.
For dinner we ordered the Paella for two and the Steak Portuguese Style.
When dinner came we were in shock, the paella could have fed a small village! There was a good amount of seafood mixed and the flavor was outstanding.
The steak was just as good, it was cooked well and was a nice piece of steak. Lastly would highly recommend the sangria.
We had the red, but it came in a few flavor choices, that will definitely try next time we go back.

Dear Sandra, Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your first dining experience at Solmar and that you found the Villa Nova room cozy.
It's wonderful to know that you loved our shrimp in garlic sauce appetizer and that the paella and Steak Portuguese Style impressed you.
We appreciate your recommendation of our sangria and can't wait to welcome you back to try more flavors next time!

Always love the food when I visit NJ, great clams in garlic and cilantro sauce, shrimp in garlic.
Seafood soup also delicious.
Lava cake with ice cream was delicious!
