Fornos of Spain

Have taken my work team here twice. Both times we were extremely pleased with the service and the food. Upscale dining at relatively affordable pricing. Everyone loved their various paellas (especially the black rice paella). Beef and cheese was delightful. Chicken Marsala delicious and done very well. Desserts was also top notch ... Pistachio creme brulee is a must try.

Had a great time at late lunch. Service was spot on and the food was excellent All lunches came with a nice salad and garlic bread I had garlic shrimp which was excellent. Also The soft shell crab was excellent. Paella and Spanish meatballs delicious Definitely a great place to eat

Had a delicious meal after a wedding. Since that day, I've been back for take out. I really enjoyed the Seafood Stuffed Salmon with a tasty sauce. You won't be disappointed. Im looking for a recipe for this dish. Yummy 😋 I added some other dishes from the Table and there were no complaints 🥳

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I live in the Seattle area but have managed to find my way back here many times. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the great service. They have a large number of wait staff that are constantly available, you never feel like you are being ignored here. They start you off with a salad and some antipasto before you even get to see the menu, which I think is an enjoyable experience. Then you can order some appetizers and main courses, and the food is delicious. I ordered the paella, and really enjoyed it. Finished it off with the lemon sorbet and some espresso - perfect finish. I will be looking forward to the next time I can come back!

A Fantastic Lunch Experience at Forno of Spain Had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Forno of Spain in Newark with a group of coworkers, and everything from start to finish was excellent. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented—each dish felt authentic and made with care. The service was attentive and professional without being overbearing, which made our lunch both efficient and enjoyable. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between classy and comfortable, making it ideal for both business and casual dining. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Newark and looking for a great Spanish meal in a warm, welcoming setting!

As soon as you settle at a table, they serve salad, bread and olives. Food was great and generous food portion. They forgot my dessert, but overall great experience. The restaurant is quite spacious, and has its own parking lot with valet service.

The valet parking, entrance, and lovely floral decorations were all exceptional. The service was efficient and well-coordinated. The food was exquisite and well-portioned. The servers were professional and friendly. I highly recommend this establishment.

Great food and service took my mother out to celebrate her birthday and it was a good experience. I absolutely loved the shrimp risotto, salad, calamari, garlic shrimp, and veal. The dessert was really good also, we took cheesecake to go and it was very light and fresh. Definitely will go back again.

10 out of 10--chef's kiss from start to finish. From the parking lot to the bathroom, every detail at this restaurant is perfection. We went on a random Wednesday night for dinner, and the entire experience was flawless. We started with a fresh salad, assorted breads, olive oil for dipping, and a delightful bowl of fresh olives. After placing our order, our appetizer and entrées came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly quick. We shared a pitcher of sangria that was absolutely phenomenal--easily some of the best I've had. Our waitress was on point the entire night, refilling our glasses without missing a beat. Even though we were stuffed, we couldn't resist dessert--and I'm so glad we didn't. The key lime pie was one of the best I've ever had. And the warm towel they bring to clean your hands? Such a thoughtful touch. Yes, it's a little pricey--but completely worth it. I highly recommend Fornos for a date night, birthday, anniversary, or even a treat-yourself solo dinner. You can't go wrong. Bonus: Complimentary valet parking! Just be sure to have some extra cash on hand because everyone--from the valet to the waitstaff--deserves a good tip. I can't wait to go back.

Let me start by saying--this place serves the best paella I've had in New Jersey. Honestly, it even beats out many of the more famous spots in Manhattan that are known for paella. As soon as we were seated, a food runner brought over a house salad--no explanation, no menu mention, just placed it down in front of us. At first, we were a bit confused, wondering if we had mistakenly ordered something. But then realized it was complimentary! The portion and quality easily rival a $18 side salad at other restaurants. It set the tone for the rest of the evening in the best way possible. They also brought out warm bread with butter and olives, again complimentary. That level of hospitality is rare these days, especially in places that are this generous with portions and presentation. At first glance, I assumed the menu leaned toward a tapas-style concept. But once I looked closer, I realized these weren't small plates--they were full entrées, meant to be shared. Honestly, one dish could easily serve three to four people. We had originally planned to try several different things, but after the complimentary salad and bread, we decided to keep it simple and go with one paella and two smaller side dishes. In hindsight, it was the perfect choice--I was already getting full before the main even arrived! But I'm so glad we saved room for the paella. It was rich, comforting, and loaded with fresh seafood. And the sangria--wow. Fruity, balanced, not too sweet. I almost regretted not ordering a pitcher, but since I was the only one drinking, I settled for two glasses... and savored every sip. The service was another highlight. The staff were attentive and efficient without being overbearing. There was an older gentleman in a sharp suit--clearly the manager or owner--who walked the dining room throughout the evening ensuring everything ran smoothly. You could tell he genuinely cared. We had planned to order dessert, but honestly, we were stuffed. Then came another surprise: as we asked for the check, out came complimentary churros with warm chocolate dipping sauce. And not just one to share--they gave each of us our own little cup of chocolate dip. That kind of thoughtfulness and generosity is so rare these days. It made us feel truly taken care of. This place completely won me over--from the incredible food to the heartfelt hospitality. It's the kind of restaurant you leave already thinking about when you can come back. I can confidently say it's going straight to the top of my "must-visit again" list.

We came here before we had to go to a Red Bull's game, which is just a walk away, so this is a very conveniently located restaurant and we were so surprised by it This restaurant was so nice even though it's in a little bit of a sketchy area when you walk inside your transported to Spain We sat down in the staff, was so tentative and friendly, and very caring to us and everything that we needed Once our whole table was seated, they immediately came out with an appetizer salad that is complementary and also bread with olives and olive oil Then we also ordered a picture of the white wine sangria, which was so good. It was really yummy. Next, we ordered food and everyone got their own entrée which was great but I think that if we came here again, we would definitely share some of the meals because one dish was so big! I got the paella and it was so good. It comes with half of a lobster which is half a lobster tail and then one claw and it also comes with chicken, sausage, mussels, clams, calamari, and scallops and shrimp. I mean, if you're looking for the ultimate seafood paella, this is literally it. The rice was so good and everything was just so delicious so flavorful I would totally come here again. We had a really great experience and the staff is just so friendly and so well trained. 10/10

I received exemplary service from Kevin at the bar, I was short on time but he made my experience most enjoyable. I love this place. I'll be back soon. Lovely traditional Spain style restaurant decor excellent service, you're gonna love it !

My entire family & I have been coming to this restaurant for years and the service has always been impeccable! if you're ever in the ironbound area this place is a must! We had my mom's birthday dinner at the smoking area room which is open and filled with greenery with plants ( a lovely area ). For starters they give fresh hot bread , olives and a salad! After they bring out hot towelettes before the main dish ! As for the food it's all delicious and huge portions in my opinion. I ordered the stuffed salmon which comes with mashed potatoes and it brings rice , Spanish potatoes and sautéed vegetables for the table. My family ordered the stuffed shrimp , chicken parmigiana, and the grilled skirt steak everyone loved it, zero complaints! For dessert we ordered churros ( it comes with chocolate sauce but we weren't a fan of it) , tartufo and a flan & cappuccinos ( the coffee was great) Overall , we enjoyed our meal and had a great time celebrating my moms birthday ( they all came to sing happy birthday which was wonderful) This place is great & the service hasn't changed they are super attentive and friendly !

This is a very elegant, beautiful restaurant. The staff is so friendly and very welcoming very good service. They literally will help you with anything from problems with your food to literally putting in your bag on a little stool. The food was incredible and humongous portions. I would say either be ready to bring home a ton of leftovers or be willing to share. I ordered the lamb chops, which were amazing and my sister ordered the paella Valencia, which was delicious. They also start you off with a salad and bread. So definitely come hungry.

Just leaving the NYC/NJ area, and visited this very special little gem of a place on the recommendation of a local at my hotel. This place is apparently an institution in Newark and I can sorta see why. It's a quaint little neighborhood fine dining place with lovely table settings and service, although the overall decor is reminiscent of a dated Italian restaurant. The food service was delightful. Within 3 minutes of sitting, we were presented with our first course: salad, olives, and bread. What? No making me wait forever at the table, starving in interminable silence while watching like a hungry pup as food passes by always seemingly bound for other tables? Nope. They FEED you here, and will gladly bag/box up your leftovers. The salad was fresh (I even ate the leftovers the next day and the greens were still springy!), and the olives looked appetizing (they were clearly spruced up in the back with herbs and spices, but I don't know how they tasted because an olive will never voluntarily pass through these lips). My friend seemed to enjoy them, however, popping them like Pez until Yoselin needed to make room on the table for the seafood tower. Yes. I said seafood tower. This was SO many lovely things to say about this place that have nothing to do with the food: *all of the waitstaff wears clean and CRISP uniforms. Their attention to grooming detail is worth remarking upon. Our server, Yoselin, even had her (impressively long) hair in a long braid down her back with perfectly spaced little puffs all the way down. *speaking of servers, while Yoselin was our server, in actuality we had 7. Everyone here was working together to serve the room, not their individual table or station. Water glasses don't stay empty more than a minute, because ALL of the servers will step in to fill a glass when/if they spot it. *server response time to the needs of diners is impressive. At one point in the evening my friend dropped her knife. By the time she straightened in her chair from picking it up, Yoselin was standing there to take it. Two seconds later she handed my friend a new knife. There was no waiting, no being forgotten, no having to share a piece of cutlery because your server is overwhelmed and poorly-supported/trained. My ONLY real issue with dinner (and why this place doesn't get 5 stars), is because of the barnacles on my lobsters on the seafood tower. Whoever is on prep at this place neglected to devein the lobster and didn't remove the (many) barnacles on the shell. Cracking lobster shells is hard enough, but trying to crack them without shattering the barnacles, which disintegrate into a gritty powder that gets all over the meat and makes it inedible, is not my idea of fine dining. I REALLY enjoyed the service here, truly I did, but for the amount they charge for a lobster tower, someone could take an extra 3 minutes and clean those barnacles from the seafood before cooking and serving.

An old school classic dinning experience! Outstanding food with GREAT service! A must stop, if you are ever in Newark!

Went here with my coworkers for the holidays, and it was fantastic! Since Iberia shut down, this seems like it will be my go-to spot. It's located right in the heart of Ironbound. The staff were great, and although there's no parking lot, there's plenty of street parking. A few of us ordered the paellas, and it was delicious, better deal if you come for lunch! The meal came with complimentary bread, salad, and churros for dessert, which was a nice bonus. Highly recommend this place

Finding this restaurant solved my need for good food nearby. The location adds value to the experience. Excellent one-on-one care. The portion sizes here are generous. The employees deserve recognition for their work.

Solo work trip and walked here from the hotel. Unreal service, appropriately priced, amazing food. Highly recommend. I had a dish that "Tx" were the first two letters that I couldn't pronounce. Stuffed massive scallop shells. Amazing.

Wonderful family restaurant with taste of Spain. Sangria, Lobster seafood paella, skirt steak with great sides put smiles on my kids & grandparents. Plus valet parking just for a tip. It's OK it's very hard. Did you do you lay it overall turn the light like let me see what

Food: The food here was phenomenal. As soon as I walked in they served my family and I water and brought out the fresh bread. They also gave everyone complimentary salad. We ordered an order of fried calamari to share for the table, we ordered a paella, and a pitcher of white sangria. The paella was so delicious and freshly made it was super warm when I took my first bite I almost burned my tongue. Service: the service was pretty decent. I can't really comment too much on this since it was an overwhelmingly busy day today for the restaurant. At the beginning the waiters were attentive but then when the main entrees arrived we asked waiters for Tabasco sauce and a lobster opener and it took a minute to get someone's attention. But again, they were so busy today so it's understandable. Ambiance: the ambiance at the restaurant is fun, it can be a little loud with the amount of people dining around the same area. It is a family friendly restaurant and perfect for a birthday dinner or a date night. 10/10 restaurant recommendation for some yummy yet not too expensive meals

This place has been around for a long time and they food and service show why they have been able to keep in business. They do a great job on unique dishes and the service is equally great. The layout is flexible for different groups and the valet parking in Newark is a big plus. Great place please enjoy.

Excellent food, service and ambiance are all great. Definitely a great place to check out

This was a nice restaurant we stumbled upon when visiting Newark for a concert. As we walked in we were definitely caught by surprise because it was such a cute entrance way. The food was amazing. They started everyone off with a plate of salad. Had a few apps, pasta and steak. The drinks were presently so nicely as well. The service was great. There were so many waiters and everyone was attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant!

First rate top notch service. Wonderful Spanish food and a cooler European (Spanish) vibe this place is amazing. Paella Valencia , squid ink paella, lobster,calamari and callos (tripe) were really well done. Desserts were also great. Definitely recommend this place!

Always reliable and great place to eat with friends and family. Paella, steak, lobster, tomahawk, shrimp and more! Wine all good! Service was good, ambiance excellent! Great place for birthday celebrations as well! Go but make a reservations!

10/10 for sure!!! We go out to eat a lot and this restaurant really goes over and beyond it all!! Go early is your best bet! We came on Saturday at 4 o'clock before a Devils game. It was perfect timing! From the minute you walk in it is a very warm and inviting decor. Once you are seated they start you off with a free salad and olives and bread. Then of course you have to get sangria when you are at a Spanish place. It wasn't too sweet just right! Garlic shrimp is a must for appetizer. We also got stuffed avocado which was a good choice. Our dinners were all excellent!! I had chillian sea bass which was so fresh and cooked just right! I also got asparagus on the side. They were the biggest I have ever seen! For dessert they gave us free churros with each individual cups of chocolate to dip. Wow! So good!! Another thing that impressed me was when they gave us our goodie bag and they bought over stools to place it on. Never did I see this done anywhere! The service was just spot on!! If you haven't been here it's time to go!!

One of the places I loved to frequent when I lived and worked in the city however a bit disappointed this time around ! Shrimp cocktail not pictured here was hard with a bad after taste. Clams casino were cold & felt as if they were sitting for a bit! Seabass had zero flavor! I did not finish it & had it packed up not sure why! I really missed you guys but unfortunately The service felt very rushed due to a number of events they had, like they needed the table not sure why as there were empty tables. Ambiance was a bit loud but that's due to the events that were taking place. There was 4 of us & bill was $500!! Whoa! Farewell on my end

Want to start off with every time I come here it's always a 5 star experience. From the food/service/ and ambience. We came in on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation and was sat rite away. Was handed a salad/bread/olives and olive oil before ordering our apps and entree. We had a bacon with fig glaze to start which is our favorite. Then we split the paella which is humungous and delish. Our server was great and attentive. We love this place and always try to swing by when we're around thank you guys for an amazing experience!!

Food it's amazing, I feel I'm back to Spain. It's very good ambiance service it's very good special the owner was super helpful. I love this place

Great service and delicious food make this restaurant a hit . The house salad is so fresh with a variety of greens and hearts of palm lightly dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. The rolls fresh and sangria is a flowing . Lobster bisque is creamy with small pieces of lobster. The croquettes deep fried with fresh shrimp and lobster bits, the meatballs have a slight spice which sneaks up on ya. The shrimp is seasoned just right . Save room for the delicious churros with chocolate rich dipping sauce.

This restaurant is a well run machine with a solid set of clientele based on the prompt and satisfying experience. Everyone should give this spot a try when looking to experience good tasting Spanish food. The menu offers a good selection to pick from. Our large party of 10 got to taste a number of appetizers and main dishes that filled our palettes with a smile. Appetizers tried were: octopus, squid, bacon (our favorite), tuna tartare, cod fish, escargot and white asparagus. Main dishes were: 4 different types of paella ( spring, squid ink, chicken and seafood). Three of these had some variety of seafood. Veal, and orange duck. There were sides provided that were rice and vegetables. Complimentary salad and dessert (churros and chocolate dip. Everything was flavorful. Can't complain about any dish. The service was prompt and provided with smiles all around. Great overall experience!!!

The food is plentiful and so good. The service is top notch and attentive. The place looks fantastic, decked out for the season. Get the red sangria.

Have come here twice already and every time is such a fun experience. This restaurant is always a go to for me when celebrating large events due to the size of the space and the family style dishes. Can't go wrong with the paella, any of the steak options, and a fan favorite for us were the lamb chops. Insane how many extra free dishes they provide. From the salad, to the olives, bread, and finally the churros at the end with the chocolate dip - it's all so delicious. Definitely worthwhile to come here with your family, friends, or anyone really.

Growing up in the neighboring town, Fornos was legendary. Everyone talked about it as the premiere place for a fancy dinner. I don't know why I never made it here before but last night, I finally had the opportunity. First impression, the valet attendant was lovely. A warm welcoming smile and greeting to start my night is a sign of good things to come. I informed the hostess that I was there for the timeleft app dinner. She seated me right away and the table was pristine. Bread service came with olives. The Portuguese rolls were as fresh as can be. Their complimentary house salad was fantastic. Hearts of palm with a wonderful vinaigrette. Everything crisp and fresh. I ordered the signature Paella Del Mar. Unfortunately, there was something amiss. And my table mate who ordered the same thing agreed. I think I miss the wine flavor that I get from my favorite Spanish place. The dish tasted unseasoned even though I don't think salt would've done the trick. The churros were AMAZING with the chocolate sauce. I think I ate half of it and my table mates only had one churro each. I was soooo good! I've never had churros so tender and crunchy at the same time. I would go back just for that! Service was spectacular but honestly, I've never had bad service at a Spanish restaurant. Incredibly attentive and kind. Other than the mid Paella, a great experience. Even the bathrooms were nice!

This place is a bit chaotic when it is busy. The waiters seem to rush around. As soon as you are seated the servers literally throw salad in front of you and don't give you adequate time to really look over the menu without the risk of your menu being in your salad. The tables are already small and it seems like they just pile a bunch of food on the table at a time. Overall the service was decent and everyone was friendly. It was just a bit chaotic. The food is okay in my opinion but my parents enjoy the food here so I've eaten here with them a few times.

This was my first time at Fornos of Spain. I am not a big fan of Spanish food, but this isn't Latin American Spanish food of rice, beans, chicken, or plantains but European Spanish Spanish food. This is authentic food with seafood. I must say from the menu Spanish love them some seafood. You see all the seafood from Squid, Octopus, Scallops, Shrimp and Lobster. I ordered Lobster Bisque and Shrimp Risotto, and I had Sangria and some espresso shots. Lobster Bisque wasn't as thick as I thought but was delicious. The first thing I looked for in that soup was how much lobster they put in the soup, and it was like half of a quarter of lobster, which isn't much but more than what most places in it are. So overall, I would give it a 3 out of 5. I would put more lobster in it, and you could get a 4 out of 5. Next was the Shrimp Risotto. When I had this, I thought of it like the way Italians make it, but a little more milky, but it wasn't. Overall, it was good. They had baby shrimp and Jumbo Shrimp in it. For a $45 dish, they weren't short on the shrimp, so I give it a 4 out of 5. The drink Sangria was the best. The red one had me lit. They had bread, olives, and a salad. I'm not a big fan of olives, so I didn't eat them. But the garlic bread was delicious, and when you add some butter to it, it's amazing. The waiting staff was always there to refill and improve the food. We had a minor incident where a bug came out, and they did a fantastic job correcting and improving it. They brought out a fresh dining line, cleaned it off, and added something complimentary to the meal, which shows they were embarrassed that it happened. I love them for their lovingness. The restaurant looked a bit old on the inside, but the ambiance was family-style. This is a restaurant for something classy, a date, or just romantic. This place has an outside portion, and it would be awesome if we tried it. I want to come back to try other things at this restaurant. It is expensive but worth the money.

Fornos of Spain is working hard to keep you extremely full! Shortly after being seated it's likely you'll be saying, "oh we didn't order yet," when a waiter places a big plate of salad in front of you with some olives and lots of bread! This place is definitely somewhere you'll want to do family style as the dishes are huge and all entrees come with yellow rice, potato chips, and green beans. We shared the ceviche and mariscado de Forno and had enough seafood for the next day to make a nice leftover soup with crackers. My favorite dish was ceviche. Overall the service is great, but the food could be better.

Forno's elevated a snack and a glass of sangria at the bar to a scrumptious meal. I ordered shrimp in garlic sauce which was a spicy, garlicky party in my mouth. Highly recommended for friendly but formal service and great food.

Great restaurant with good Spanish food. There is a valet parking which is plus for the area- if you are familiar with the area then you know how difficult it is to find parking in Newark. They serve big portions so beware and the service is always five-star, professional and quick. Went for my dad's birthday- we were a party of 8 people and knew how much to order exactly! Almost everything was exceptional- starting from the sangria to all the paellas we got- however, I got the lamb rack with what I thought was "mashed potatoes" and it was just OK- overwhelming :( the mashed was not regular potatoes, it was sweet to the taste. The lamb was also ok (as you can see in the image it didn't look as appetizing, but the NY strip that 2 people in my table ordered was perfection! If you have a big group, def make reservations in advance as they get quite busy at any hour of the day!

Amazing service, large portions, and wonderful food to match. Perfect for large or small groups to share and enjoy. Recommend going out of your way to try this place. If ever in NJ again would definitely come back!

My wife and I met friends for a really fun dinner at Fornos. On a rainy Friday night, we made our way to Newark to try this restaurant. With the Devils playing a few blocks away, the area was busy, but fortunately the restaurant has valet parking. This is a large place with a service staff that has been here a long time and does an excellent job taking care of patrons. We started off with a pitcher of red sangria which was delicious. Bread and olives are served before the meal. The olives had a real spice to them. A large salad was served for the 4 of us. It was really good with a salty taste. We split a large plate of calamari as an appetizer. For entrees, we had 2 orders of Shrimp in garlic which comes with rice, vegetables, and potato chips. Plenty of food for all of us! We topped off the meal with the tres leches cake and coffee. Fantastic dinner! If you're in NJ and looking for outstanding Portuguese/Spanish food, Fornos is a must stop!

Lovely restaurant with good Spanish food. There is valet parking in the rear, but it's worth it to not try to circle around looking for street parking near Penn Station. The chorizo appetizer was amazing, nice and salty and came with olives. My main dish was the paella marinera which was chock full different seafood. It was so much that it made a great secondary dish the next day (it's possible to heat up in the skillet). I was personally too full for dessert, but someone at my table had the pistachio tartufo which felt like a unique take on the Spanish dessert. The end of the meal did come with complementary churros and chocolate sauce. A win! This place is upscale, but all the food was amazing, and it was a great place to gather with friends.

Delicious spanish food in Newark. Went for brunch and had their octopus, which was perfectly cooked. They have their own parking, which was a big help in Newark.

A friend of mine and I got together to get some drinks and food. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and sat at the bar. We were served by a nice young man for the sangria and beer we ordered. After we got our drinks, the server didn't come back to check on us. My friend was ready to order, but since they didn't come check on us, he decided not to. The sangria was good but the service was not so good.

We enjoy coming here for a well cooked meal. Halibut is one of my favorite fish to eat. It was moist and juicy. Perfection. My coconut mojito was perfectly made. It is a large restaurant with many rooms but the service is always quick, but with no pressure to make you eat faster. My husband had the rib and it was such a large piece that he couldn't finish it. You finish the night off with a few churros. This meal was well worth the price.

Unique dining experience when I needed a place to meet friends by Newark airport. Massive selection. Much of the food was very heavy. Was fun to order a variety and explore the menu. Tartufo was super yummy with unique flavors and perfect texture. Staff was very attentive.

Wow!!! Do not over order as we did. Portions are unbelievable. We went for lunch on a Thursday. The dining room is lovely and large with a reasonable amount of space between tables. The service is so attentive; exactly what one would expect at a five star restaurant. We ordered two gazpacho appetizers to start along with the chicken piccata and the salmon forno. Arriving first was a huge basket of yummy garlic bread, large green salad with hearts of palm, olive oil and olives. Mind you we ordered none of this but it was filling, delicious and best of all free! Next came the gazpachos with a side of toasted bread and diced veggies to add to the creamy soup. In facet the soup was so smooth i thought there may have been some cream in it but the waiter said there was none. It was delicious. By now i was actually full but then came the entrees. Wish i had known they came with a large side of rice, some sort of fried thing that looked like chips, and mixed vegetables. Mine also came with mashed potatoes and the salmon had a side salad on the plate too. This was more than enough food here for four people!! The chicken was delicious as were the salmon and the mixed veggies. We left so much food over! They asked if we wanted dessert. We replied no thank you but they brought out complementary churros with a very yummy dark chocolate sauce!! This place is amazing! If you find yourself in Newark, eat here!! Just remember to order light. One appetizer and one entree to share between two people is plenty!!!! Oh and the bathrooms are lovely!!

Absolutely a great experience time after time after time. I haven't been here in 5 years, however when my wife and I returned today, it was the same great experience! The staff was plentiful and very attentive. The food was also plentiful and the 1 lb. spare rib on the bone was amazing. Keep up the great work!

This is a solid option in this area, which doesn't have many formal restaurants. We ordered the paella and a few drinks. It was all tasty. The server was friendly and efficient. No complaints from us!

The pictures don't do much justice but the food here was great! Service was impeccable and the ambiance of the restaurant was very welcoming. I came here for a 20 person birthday dinner and the staff made sure Everton was tended to properly. I've tried other spots in the Newark iron bound area so I can't say this was the best however, it was tasty enough that I would try it again. Sangria was delicious too!

I've been to Fornos on a few occasions and usually I don't have many negative things to say but this time I'm a bit disappointed. I ordered the stuffed scallops. I love scallops and that should be the main food in this entree. Well, I received 4 small sized scallops (see picture) with 4 huge mounds of seafood stuffing on top of them. I guess if you love seafood stuffing you would be happy. This stuffing was super heavy and who knows what's in it. The entree should be called seafood stuffing with scallops. At $47 this is highway robbery. Sorry guys I'll be going to the other great restaurants in the area going forward.

Great restaurant Took clients to dinner The food, the drinks and service was perfect I had paella which off course could not eat all myself - huge portions Quiet with good ambiance to have a business chat Also the hostesses were very friendly They stored by luggage while I was at the dinner Will come back again for sure

I feel like Raoul's has stepped up its game since the last time I visited. The steak frites was delicious and well priced for New York. I also really enjoyed the monkfish bouillabaisse and goats cheese salad. Service was also excellent sitting at the bar and the hostess was very accommodating for our walk in.

It's been 3 years and time to re-review! Did I mention previously I freaking love this place!!!! We had the best night ever celebrating my parents' 50th anniversary! As usual the staff is superb! Warm and friendly and always on point attending to you! You almost feel like you are there number one priority although they are fully accommodated. Well oiled machine operation here! You start with their amazing family platter of salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, mixed olives, endive and hearts of palm lightly dressed in their house balsamic vinaigrette. Of course their bowls of EVOO, mixed olives, and fresh bread remain. Appetizers of shrimp forno and fried calamari were amazing! Shrimp forno was bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp with a warm salad of balsamic mango and strawberries on top! Whaaatt?! Never thought this pairing would work, but mind blown! I scored tonight as I waited years to come here on the right day to get one of their off menu gigantic lobsters and you know I did! 3lb stuffed lobster with bay scallops, fresh crabmeat and shrimp! Holy! I was in heaven! Cooked to perfection! My pic is off because I should have lifted the one claw that is laying on its side. It was massive! Rest of fam enjoyed the ever famous paella, pork chop and pasta mariscada. Yeah we thought we reached another planet of cuisine perfection. We even debated over who would take home their savory saffron rice, crisp string bean mix and homemade fried potatoes. Father won. Lol Did I mention their twist on a sangria called Garden sangria with peach schnapps, brandy, orange soda, red wine, fresh frigs, peaches, apples, oranges and grapes?! Beyond incredible- we had to order a pitcher and half! Father even stated best sangria he has ever drank in his life! A joyous celebration of staff sang to my parents over their carrot cake decorated beautifully with "Happy Anniversary" around the plate in fudge with sprinkles. The whole room joined in singing and clapping! New twist on their behalf was everyone there received churros and their own individual chocolate fudge cups to dip in. Could have simply just drank the chocolate! Ok now I'm dead and reached the Almighty. Just when I thought I would simply update an old review with nothing new; here I am humbled. I never thought a perfect restaurant could take it to the next level and tonight...well, you showed me you truly deserve 10 stars always!

Ugh! The last time I was here was about 7 years ago. My dish was absolutely disgusting. They don't clean their shrimp and that's a BIG no for me. The service was good and the environment was nice.
