This tapas Wine Bar and Lounge in Newark's Ironbound District is a change of pace from many of the other old world Ironbound Spanish-Portuguese restaurants. This is a vibrant place for Spanish tapas and wine in an upscale, New York Style attractive lounge atmosphere with exposed brick walls, and hammered-copper ceilings, all at very reasonable prices. A downstairs lounge, with comfortable sofas and low tables, and a view of the wine cellar, is less noisy than the bustling upstairs lounge. Unlike the the Ironbound restaurants where huge portions of food are the rule, this is the perfect place to meet before or after dinner or a show. They have a nice selection of International wines, champagnes, and ports to complement well prepared small plates of Spanish tapas. Some of the popular dishes are: Pa amb tomaquet, crusty bread rubbed with garlic, fresh tomato, serrano ham served with marinated olives; and the Tuna au Cabalo, thinly sliced grilled marinated tuna over a quenelle of tuna tartar, topped with a baby green salad. The bar scene is a popular meeting place with a strong Latin crowd, especially on weekends with DJs spinning everything from house to flamenco, soul and disco. They are also very crowded during weekday happy hours. The service is very friendly and attentive. |
