Casa Vasca

This place sets the standard for amazing food and warm hospitality. Everything feels genuinely authentic, from the flavors to the way guests are treated. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re completely taken care of, and the owner is such a kind and welcoming person who makes everyone feel at home. Once you eat here, it’s hard to find anywhere else that measures up!

It’s refreshing to see a historical heritage Spanish restaurant, accommodating to all cultures coming to experience Spanish cuisine. It was wonderful to see Latin American staff that were impeccably trained. The food did not disappoint being of Spanish heritage. It was sad to see a negative review a while back, saying that the ambience and the food and service was not good. Quite contrary I personally think that that person may have not wanted to see a diverse community of different nationalities, enjoying the restaurant

It’s a good spot everyone was very friendly and the food was good. They also give an inordinate amount of food. I mean I don’t think I single person at our table finished their food. The ambience is nice and overall I like it.

What a gem! Great pulpo and croquetas de bacalao, really missed these. The bacalao al pil pil was really good too, and the portion was huge. Nice staff and great service, though the best thing was the people we met who recommended us all the good places to eat/shop in the neighborhood.

This is my go to when in North Jersey. I'm from Philly, but have been coming here for 20 plus years. Was introduced by a customer of mine and always did lunch or dinner here with clients. The food is amazing - was here Saturday to take y daughter for birthday dinner. The weekends they have amazing specials - i had the suckling pig - it was absolutely delish and the sauce amazing. She had the stuffed salmon and it didnt disappoint. Pitcher of white sangria was perfect. Impeccable service as well. Thanks again for a wonderful meal.

12/5 recommend this place! Incredibly polite and attentive staff, refilling drinks for you, wrapping your left overs for you, and making sure the food is perfect. Great seafood selection. Delicious homemade bread. Variety of alcoholic beverages to choose from (I enjoyed some Sangria). Best dinner experience in our trip to New York. Will be coming back again when in the area!

Absolutely my favorite Spanish Restaurant in Ironbound Newark. I always leave here satisfied.

This is the benchmark to delicious food and service. This is a authentic as it gets. The servers will make sure your every need is met. The owner is a sweet woman that treats everyone like family. Don’t come here because you will be spoiled and nothing will compare!

My parents and I used to live in Spain, and Casa Vasca is one of the few Spanish restaurants in the U.S. we actually enjoy going to. We love the paella -- authentic, flavorful, and reminds us of our time in Spain -- and the octopus is also fantastic, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The prices are very reasonable, making it a great spot for a hearty meal. The only downside was the Old Fashioned, which was terrible and not worth ordering. Aside from that, it's a solid place for anyone craving real Spanish flavors without leaving the U.S.

Always The Best Service. The Owner Maria Is Spectacular We Have Been Going To This Fantastic Restaurant For About 30 Yrs. Our Families Preferred Place. Foot Is Amazing... Service Exemplary We Are Always Treated Very Well. This Time I Had Catering For A Baptism Celebration At Home. Exceeded My Already Very High Expectations. Thank You Always

This time I came to Casa Vasca for lunch with just one other person. Oh boy did I eat a big meal. I had forgotten that every entrée comes house soup, a leek soup with some chunks of meat. it was pretty tasty. I was most excited though for my veal with ham and mushrooms in a white wine sauce. Man that hit the spot. I almost finished the entire thing. Service was quick and unobtrusive. In other words, perfect. Yea, definitely still recommend.

Went there oct-16-25 for dinner. Ordered grill salmon and filet mignon. Grilled salmon was not grilled. It was fried and it was so oily it was disgusting. filet mignon was a burnt piece of meat that must've been cooked and returned several times from tables previous to being served to us we mentioned it to the waiter, and they were very apologetic. They offered to charge us for the drinks only I told them we were not looking for anything free, but they insisted so. We only paid for the drinks, but this place is a dive. I would never go back there again they have the audacity to serve that garbage to their customers . we only had a couple of bites each of our food. It really was not edible and I have photos to prove it..

I've been here for dinner a few times, and it's always been a good experience, especially for the price. Last time I got the paella valenciana, and it was so big that the leftovers were plenty for the next day too! The ambiance is perfect for a nice dinner without having to dress up too formally. The servers are also very attentive, and we got some complimentary soup that was pretty yummy! This time, I got the chorizo appetizer and the octopus (which I think is usually on the daily specials menu). The chorizo was a little too salty/crispy for my taste, but the octopus was phenomenal. It was perfectly cooked and just flavorful enough without overpowering the taste of the octopus. I also got a creme brulee for dessert, which was pretty good!

Came here for lunch and the food was amazing, the food was on point and fresh, and the ambiance was enjoyable. I believe we ordered a paella valenciana, a fish dish (i forgot the name), and almejas en salsa verde. We had complimentary soup free of charge. Everything was tasty and in big portion. We had more food than we could eat. I believe next time we come here will order less. Overall, this place is amazing for lunch. There is a private parking lot, so no need to worry about finding street parking : )

Casa Vasca is a Spanish restaurant located at in the heart of the Ironbound section of Newark, NJ. The restaurant's situation at the corner of the street and has a parking lot a couple of properties over. The main entrance puts you at their bar and the door beyond opens into the dining area. When I attended, I was with a large party and we took over several tables. The wait staff was quick and attentive. The food, on the other hand, was a bit of a hit or miss and a little lack luster. Our servers started off with bringing us warm rolls and pitchers of sangria. We all thought the sangria was mediocre. We think that the pitchers of sangria maybe had been sitting for a while with the ice in it, making the sangria watery and not very flavorful. The appetizers I liked were the bacalou bites and chorizo. The shrimp had an off putting smell, which almost prevented me from trying them, but nonetheless were good and flavorful. They kept refilling our bread which I didn't know if I loved or hated (lol) Just kidding - their rolls are delicious. After the apps, we got Paella, salad and steak. The steak was good and I enjoyed the paella minus the lobster. My family members and I all agreed on that. My grandma thought it tasted maybe like it had been frozen. We couldn't quite pinpoint why we didn't enjoy it. For dessert, they had many options. Tiramisu, chocolate mousse, orange cake and flan. I ordered a tiramisu and a cappuccino. My cappuccino was okay, but my dessert was 10/10. This restaurant has been around for decades and is a staple in the ironbound. For this reason, I am sure it will continue to be successful for decades to come. For me, I had an okay experience but nothing wow-ed me - culinary wise (the tiramisu was the best I've had, though), service wise or regarding the atmosphere or restaurant itself. Parking lot a couple of businesses over.

Terrible! Watery sangria- Fish was not edible...loaded with bones - told 'maybe that's how they do it to save money'- Filet mignon was terrible Paella was mushy Service was decent A complete waste of money - Go next door if you want GREAT food

When you want delicious food, an atmosphere that is warm and cozy, and service that is swift and caring, Casa Vasca is the place to be. We have come here numerous times and have never been disappointed. Maria makes sure that everything runs smoothly. Tonight we had some of our usuals, Pork Chops in Garlic Sauce, Chicken in Garlic Sauce, Skirt Steak, and Sirloin. Tonight we added in the special Salmon Steak, Shrimp, and Clams in a green sauce-DELICIOUS!!!!!

Just up from Florida and I needed a good Spanish food fix so I stopped in Newark's Ironbound and parked at Casa Vasca. The seafood was fresh and the sangria tangy. Their home made flan topped off the meal and a snifter of 43 finished the experience with class. When you go, on site parking if you get there early enough. And the Portuguese rolls are wonderful.

This place is like home! Service is very good and the staff were very friendly! Food is also amazing! We've had the empanadas, almejas and the lenguado a la francesa. Can't wait to come back!

Friends and I spent a pleasant afternoon at this restaurant. The paella was delicious and the serving was such that I will eat it for several meals. They have a parking lot which makes it easy to visit. I recommend you visit too!

I absolutely love this restaurant the staff the waiters are so courteous so friendly so accommodating the owner Maria is just a delight. I had the privilege of introducing three of my girlfriends to this restaurant although we live an hour away we were in Newark at an event and Casa Vasca was number one on my choices to have dinner and share it with them. They absolutely raved about the food. The ambience, the servers everything they loved it. Nancy D

I went there last night to celebrate my anniversary along with my husband. The place was empty night Only two other tables couldn't imagine until we tasted the food I had a huge that tasted like and my husband a bland flavorless paella.that had no flavor no seasoning and I realize that the menu has stayed the same for at least the last 10 years since I've been going they need a new cook and a new menu I don't recommend this place at all. There's so many other places to get good authentic Spanish food. I was very disappointed. I really was looking forward to great food for $160 we could have gotten something really nice

Great food and best sangria in all of New Jersey! Never disappoints. Great service too!

What a little hidden gem this place is! Definitely a more family style restaurant with extremely reasonable pricing. Everyone at my table (party of 4) ordered our own entrées which we would of been totally fine probably ordering 2 and just sharing. Portions are pretty big for the price you pay, I'd recommend sharing some main dishes rather than everyone getting their own plate. Food was very flavorful and delicious. You get a complimentary soup and bread with your meal and both are extremely delicious. Went in to this place not really knowing what I was getting into but WOW I wasn't disappointed. Had a great experience here!

The undiscovered gem to most, and maybe because the location is quite an inconvenience in terms of traffic. Parking is not a problem though since they have their own parking lot! Now as to food, ambience and service. Triple A for all three categories. The servers are all friendly and respectful. The food was and is always phenomenal. We had gambas, callos, seafood paella, bacalao and the desserts that were all mouth-watering! The soup and the rolls to start with were so fresh and delicious. Ambience is great if you want a not-so-quiet dinner. You'll see one table for two, and another table for a family gathering. or a party of friends. This place is worth going to again and again. Now if only traffic wasn't so bad in Newark!

One our favorite Spanish / Portuguese spots in Newark. They have a nice European feel and the food and service are terrific. One thing they do which is unique is that each meal comes with a free bowl of the soup of the day and they are always delicious.

A very solid choice when dining in the Ironbound. It's a bit hidden from Ferry Street but to me, that's a nice plus. Started with a couple of icy cold Estrellas and tasty garlic shrimp. Bread in Newark is always amazing so save some for dipping. Complimentary soup hit the spot on a chilly night. Pork chops 'extreme' were very good as was the chicken and shrimp in a champagne sauce. Tables are slightly tight in the main dining room and the atmosphere is bustling and lively. I actually like to sit in their bar room. Much more casual/relaxed and while a bit stark, has a real local feel. Can linger here for hours if desired. Service was efficient and more or less friendly. Parking can be tricky on a busy night. They do have a lot but it is small and can fill up. Great that they have an attendant who helps manage and keep an eye on things.

Nice spot to hit up by the Prudential Center, "Ironbound" section of Newark. This Spanish restaurant offers "Basque" cuisines more geared towards fish and shellfish. What makes it a great place is the authentic meals, and freshness of the ingredients including the seafood. I stopped in for pre-game drinks and appetizer, and did not stay for a full dinner. They have a small bar section located on the side of the restaurant which had 3-4 small tables of 4 seats per table. You can also sit at the small bar to dine. There was 1 TV where you could watch some sports. The fresh rolls that came out hot were very delicious. I was able to break it apart easily, and use to dip into my appetizer dish. The grilled baby squid marinated in oil and garlic was that good. Had to incorporate the bread to wipe the plate, and get every last drop of those flavors. It came along with a side of some plain boiled potatoes. In this section of Newark parking can be tough. You may have to park a block or two, maybe few away and walk to this restaurant. You can also pay a fee to park in one of the lots nearby. Depending if there is a sporting event in the Prudential Center the price for parking may be higher than normal. This restaurant is definitely worth the visit if you're interested in fresh seafood cooked up in an authentic Spanish style with great flavors. I will definitely come back for a full dine-in experience as the menu had a lot to offer.

Sad to say, gave it another try and left wanting again. We've been going for 40+ years and the last few times it's been disappointing. Clams casino good. Veal Chops were unseasoned and not cooked to order (Medium rare). Side vegetables seemed canned or bagged. Veal Casa Vasca came out lukewarm and looked like it was possibly reheated/microwaved and needed seasoning. The Shrimp and Octopus was ok, but lacking in flavor. I don't drink, but company said sangria was decent, but lacked punch. Complimentary soup, (Lentil) again lacking in flavor and lukewarm.

Food was delicious! I had Chorizo A La Parrilla, Calamares A La Romana, Champinones Rellenos, and soup of the day was delicious. It was so flavorful. Staff was friendly. It's a small space with parking lot. Highly recommend. Great wine collection.

Amazing food. What i heard this restaurant has been there for 40 yrs so i guess there is a reason for that. Service is awesome and food simply delicious ....must try their Goat dish kind of a stew, and they only make on weekends. We will come back again to try other dishes in the menu.

We are starting to make the rounds of the Ironbound district and on the 4th of July Casa Vasca was our choice. Casa Vasca has a private lot with and attendant that watches the car which is great. Finding on street parking can be difficult. One enters the restaurant through a bar area that has some tables for dining. The main dining room is clean with tile floors and tile half walls. Service at Casa Vasca was both friendly and impeccable. Similar to some of the other Ironbound restaurants we have sampled, service is old world European. Dinner entrees were served with the soup of day which was a very good Chicpea and vegetable. We ordered the salmon stuffed with crabmeat, bronzino and grilled lamb chops. Everything was very good and a fairly large portion. The lamb chops were very reasonable at $22.00. We finished it off with a very good cappuccino and two desserts. We did not order drinks but the restaurant has a full bar. We had a very pleasant dinner at Casa Vasca and we would definitely go back. 4 Yelp stars.

My parents took me here in the 1980's. Thankfully, pretty much nothing has changed. One of my all-time favorite restaurants. If you love food, if you love authenticity, this is the place.

Authentic Spanish food - nothing fancy/shi-shi about this place, just solid quality food, a very extensive menu, at a decent price (especially when you factor in the price of glasses of Rioja house wine and a good-sized bowl of free soup and bread to start the meal!) Especially if you like seafood, this place is worth a visit.

Disappointing. Being from the Basque Country myself, I was so looking forward to Casa Vasca but my expectations were too high. Very few traditional Basque items on the menu, and the execution was just ok. To add insult to injury, I was charged an additional 3% "credit card fee" with the check without any prior warning. Sadly, I don't think I will return.

Every parameter was good! One should take advantage of the bacala pill pill, the code fish done the basque way

We are three executives who formerly worked in Newark and were introduced to Casa Vasco about five years ago. We meet there for lunch periodically and it is the only restaurant we visit (we've been to others in the past, none measure up). The food is consistently outstanding as is the service. Today we had a black bean and onion soup that was superb and two of us had the Camarones Enchilados which were mildly spicy, delicious and more than ample portions for a luncheon dish. Out other guest had salmon and raved about it. The dining area (there is a separate bar room) is white tablecloth, the wait staff is attentive and the ambience is very pleasant and quiet so we can carry on a conversation comfortably. This has to be one of the best restaurants in Newark and the entire Newark area. Five stars for all five years!

This place never disappoints. The food is always delicious and fresh. The bread is hot and fresh and soup is something different and warming. The servers are always welcoming. It was super busy on Mother's Day and they were not rushing us out. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Ironbound.

Off a random street corner in the Ironbound section of Newark, you'll find this quiet little restaurant serving up traditional Spanish food. You'll get a basket of warm bread to start and can't go wrong ordering seafood dishes here. The service is prompt and they even have a small parking lot, which is rare in this town full of street parking.

Fun fact: Casa Vasca is the one and only restaurant I have eaten at in the state of New Jersey. I had no idea that New Jersey had such a big Portuguese population. But I'm very glad that I was able to try some Portuguese food and experience some Portuguese/New Jersey culture. Coming from hawaii, the only Portuguese I've experienced has been at McDonald's for breakfast (Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice, please!). I guess the ukulele also may have had some Portuguese influence. Either way, I had no idea what authentic Portuguese food was like. Casa Vasca serves delicious Portuguese food. We ordered the chorizo (much better than McDonald's, but more burnt), the garlic shrimp (wow, simple, but maybe one of my favorites of the night), paella (yum!) and the seafood stew with green sauce. Oh and how can I forget the sangria? Both red and white sangria is offered at Casa Vasca, but we had the classic red. Delicious. Dinner here comes with the soup of the day and a basket of bread, rice and potatoes. The soup we had was chickpea and I honestly am not a fan of chick peas at all. I don't even really like hummus. This soup was amazing! I t was flavorful and I ate all the chickpeas! The seafood dishes were also very delicious and I particularly liked the green sauce. The service was kind of weird. The waiters are all very interestingly dressed in fancy suits, but they aren't friendly....maybe it's a New Jersey thing. There is a parking lot a few lots before the restaurant, which is nice because finding street parking looked rather impossible.

I wasn't sure what to really expect when I was coming to dinner at Casa Vasca but I'm so glad I did. My first thought was I hope I find parking, which I did since they have a small parking lot on the same block where the restaurant is located but about two houses down. Complimentary parking is always a plus, especially in Ironbound. When you first walk in, you're immediately in a small bar, but then they direct you the dinning area which is small and cozy. The servers where all courteous and very helpful making sure everyone was satisfied with their meal and drinks at all times. The food was very good, from the freshly warm bread made & delicious soup down to their dessert and last but not least their cappuccinos!

What a great little restaurant with some amazing dishes! Had another Holiday party last night, located at Casa Vasca and I couldn't have been more pleased with the food. We ordered everything from Sirloin, Filet Mignon, Lobster, Paella, Chorizo, and Garlic Shrimp. Everything was amazing, cooked perfectly, and the sangria just kept on coming! The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was there was no music playing so it was awkwardly quiet if no one was speaking. I had to ask the waiters to please put something on so we can hear something in the background. We finished our meal with flan, espresso, and Little Beer Shots! Lol I was happy to see how attentive the waiters were. We never waited around wondering where they were if we decided to order something else. So, thank you to Maria, the owner of Casa Vasca. You made our visit very pleasant! See you soon!

This is old world food and service as it should always be. Food was excellent and top notch service. Sangria was also made as it should be, without all the mixed sweeteners. Just a great place. Highly recommended!

Service, food, & ambiance great. Very friendly, neighborhood type atmosphere. Great place to take a family.

Great food and service with a relaxing atmosphere. If you enjoy good and authentic Spanish cuisine, this is the place to go. Would highly recommend.

I heard of this place thru a coworker who highly recommended it. She is Portuguese, knows the Ironbound area very well. First I tested her - I asked if Rio Rodizio on route 22 was authentic or any good. She almost snarled at me. Good response. So it was I arrived here with high expectations and wanted to fall in love with the place from the get-go. I love Portuguese - great food, good bang for the buck, portions are awesome. It's kinda like Chinese in that way, except they have delicious sangria and no fish tanks. First thing I noticed was that they have their own parking lot with a parking attendant watching your car. This is important in Newark! Also, it is not valet - you don't gotta give up your keys. Awesome. More about the parking guy later. On to the food: The lobster in spicy sauce wasn't that spicy. It had a little bit of spice to it and the flavor was all right, not as awesome as it looks in the pictures on yelp. The portion looked large but actually it's only one lobster and hence not that much meat you are getting for $24. It was cooked well though. 3/5 The paella valencia we ordered had several human hairs stuck to the chicken. They offered to make us another after we plucked em out and carefully inspected the dish but I said don't bother. I didn't want to waste the whole thing. The portion size was pretty big, the taste was ok - not quite as flavorful as I would have wanted (especially the chicken). I appreciated it wasn't very greasy and not too salty though. The mussels were tiny and not great in flavor but there was a good amount of scallops and shrimp. 3/5 The sirloin steak with fries and veggies was a great deal - 14 bucks. I wanted it medium rare but it came out well done. Flavor was not bad, not great. I definitely make better steak at home. Good price though - 4/5. Sangria was not bad - tasty and home made but not very strong. 4/5 Service by the waitstaff was very good. The parking guy was a bit annoying when we left though. I know he has a thankless job and he was stationed in a lil cubby hole in the cold but that still doesn't mean he gets to keep pounding hard on the side of my car when he didn't like the direction I was slowly backing out my car. Relax dude I have a backup cam and I wasn't close to hitting anything. He just wanted to make sure I come out a certain way and make a u-turn rather than try to make a left. Just say something next time instead of banging, geez. He was older, walked with a limp, emerged from his cubby like he was swamp thing or something. Otherwise I woulda said something to him. Maybe it was an off night but I've had better meals at Al Garve in Elizabeth.

This is a classic ironbound restaurant, as you notice walking through the bar where Portuguese soccer games are being broadcast. There's a helpful, but tiny parking lot. The menu is extensive, with an emphasis on seafood. Our waiter was an entertaining character. Food was good although it could've used a little more herbs and spices. The more expensive Forno's is better, but the value here was fine. We will return.

4-4.5 stars, the food was great and the service was even better. First, they have is complimentary black bean and veggie soup, very nicely done. We started with the garlic shrimp and cod croquettes with a bottle of white wine ($22not bad). The garlic shrimp were great but could have been salted a bit and the croquettes were perfectly fried and well made but could have used a dipping sauce. We each had the marisciada, mine red, the wife had the green sauce. It was literally 2-3 pounds of seafood, all perfectly cooked and delicious. We had a hard time eating everything but we are flying out to Park City tomorrow so no doggy bags on this trip. Their red sangria wasn't excellent but it didn't matter, everything else was. They gave us two complimentary glasses of port wine too. Great experience here

There's really no other place like it. The service is always spectacular. I have never been disappointed. Their fresh bread, killer chorizo app, homemade soup, chicken with lots of garlic sauce, potato chips, and yellow rice. I love this place

I have only eaten at Casa Vasca for lunch. All the times I've been here for lunch it's been quite excellent. For $11-$20 there's enough food to take home the leftovers for another meal. Before your meal you get a large bowl of soup. The bread is delicious, as well. On my most recent visit I had the octopus and shrimp with garlic sauce. Communal rice and fresh potato chips are brought to the table to go with your entrée.

Let me start off by saying I live in NJ and have been to practically every restaurant in the Ironbound, We came to the restaurant very excited to eat paella and drink sangria in celebration of my birthday. What a disappointment! The sangria obviously was lacking ingredients such as brandy and triple sec and had barely any fruit. The soup they serve as an appetizer was ok but it was pea soup and I have had much better. But the paella was the blandest, most tasteless paella I have ever had in my life. It was obviously cooked without a single seasoning, including salt! I had to add sauce from my friend's mariscada to be able to eat any of it. The peas were hard and undercooked too, but thankfully there weren't too many. Intererestingly enough, the owner comes around and asked if we were satisfied and when I explained why I wasn't, she immediately began to chastise and berate me for not having said anything earlier. I told her that we were there with young children and it would have taken too long for a replacement meal. More yelling at me. When I said it was my birthday and I preferred not to deal with the drama, she brought out the dessert we ordered, sang-yelled Happy Birthday and left. I had the flan and the kids had chocolate mousse cake....all tasted store bought. I will never return to this restaurant.... there are many restaurants of higher quality in the area, especially Fornos, which is amazing.

Love everything about Casa Vasca. I worked around the corner and would always walk to get a fresh soup of the day. Service and Ambiance are great

The staff are very attentive. The owner is very nice and always around making sure her patrons are well taken care of. The food is delicious and consistent. They have great wine and coffees. They also have some of the best lunch specials in the area. Highly recommend the chicken salad, pulpo, and croquettes de bacalao.

When I first entered the restaurant, there was a bar and it felt extremely sketchy. One of the people pointed to a door and surprisingly enough, there was a restaurant. Although the setting was very strange and I wasn't sure if I was in the right place, this restaurant is a hidden gem in the rough. Thankfully, when we were seated, the waiters were extremely welcoming and the menu was very extensive. I was very pleasantly surprised with the entree. We ordered a calamari as the appetizer, and it was very soft. The ambience was very nice, as it was not very loud, and I could enjoy the meal in peace. I ordered the salmon with crab meat, yet that was mediocre. A friend of mine ordered the octopus and shrimp in garlic, and that tasted amazing. The suckling pig was amazing as well, as it was both chewy and tender. This lunch truly was a pleasant surprise and a great first taste of Spanish food.

Amazing food, chorizo is a must try, and great atmosphere. The Filet Mignon with shrimp in brandy sauce is a meal I always come back for. Only down part is service, and they forgot to pack the right left overs I asked for which is very upsetting. Don't think I'll be returning anymore unfortunately. One to many mistakes one after the other that are easily avoidable (example's: cooking steaks the right temp, having our appetizer's before water glasses filled, forgetfulness from staff, attitude from serves, etc.)

I was in the Ironbound section of Newark and though I'd have Portuguese and settled on visited Casa Vasca after reading the reviews. Very charming place with a truly authentic feel. However the food didn't quite live up to the reviews and was just average. Definitely didn't take me back to my time in Porto but certainly worth the visit at least once

I didn't think my opinion would change just after one more time visiting this place. After a recent power outage in the entire building many people in the building went out for a long lunch. After trying a few go-to places for a cheap lunch, they decided to end up here since all the other places were already full. The menu seemed a bit limited but I ordered the $10 Grilled Veal. Not a meat I have often so I guess it was a treat. It was cooked well as was the fries and the steamed vegetables (aside from the cauliflower, eww!). I tried the chicken marsala from a coworker and it was just awesome that I ninja'd her mushroom sauce onto my grilled veal. =D With the $18 pitcher of sangria that was split amoung seven people, I wound up paying $17 for lunch. Dang. ~Always a hit or miss when splitting a bill. =/
