Seabra's Marisqueira

Walked in and felt like I time-traveled to an old-school Portuguese tavern — blue-and-white tiles, vintage bar, super nostalgic vibes. 📸 🥖 The bread was amazing: soft and slightly crispy outside. 🌭 The sausage wasn’t juicy but super meaty and chewy 🐙 The octopus salad was too mushy for me, not the bouncy type — skip if you love a firm texture. 🫕 The “acorda de marisco” (seafood bread mash) was the most interesting: super flavorful at first, but got heavy and salty fast. I felt SO thirsty after — likely lots of salt and MSG, so if you prefer light flavors, beware! 🍷 The white wine sangria? Recommend. Light, refreshing, balances everything else.

Gem alert 🎉 !!Man this place is great !! First time here and it won’t be the last this Portuguese restaurant has it all great price for the food and drinks, come with hunger, cause the portion size are big (love it). So all around this restaurant is fantastic. The waiters are very attentive to you. The food is great. Got nothing bad to say about this place. I will be coming back if in the area definitely check it out.

Fantastic place for very authentic Portuguese food. This has more authentic food than most restaurants in the Ironbound. Staff is great and very friendly. This is a must try. They also have 2free parking lots.

Amazing place for a nice meal. Their seafood are fresh and perfectly prepared. They have parking beside the restaurant but make sure you get the parking paper signed by the restaurant before you pick up your car for free parking.

Great seafood restaurant with a lot fish options. Little bit pricier but great location for special occasions. We tried Portuguese cod fish and grilled sole fillet with butter lemon sauce. Pictures attached. Portions are really huge and enough for two people.

Whenever I’m in Newark, this Portuguese restaurant is a “must”. I’ve been coming here for “28 years”, and it has never let me down. The food is consistently fantastic, and the “octopus 🐙salad is the best you’ll ever have” —absolutely incredible! If you’re in the area, don’t miss this spot. #newarkfoodie #octopussalad🐙 #seabrasmarisqueira

I visited with a friend to have few beers and have some appetizers. The service and food were excellent, we had the bacalhau and fried sardines. I’ll definitely be back here ASAP!!

DELICIOUS! I’m not from the neighborhood and per clients request, they asked to come here. Now…When you first walk in it may seem a little questionable….. I can promise you, the food, service and drinks all make up for it. The prices are responsible and the portions are family style. Seriously, if there are four people, only order for three. Get some apps!!!! Lots of great apps. Then get a few dishes. Order up some cocktails and enjoy. The staff is awesome. Great recommendations that are not the most expensive thing on the menu, but the really good family style food. We had some of everything. It was awesome.

Calling all seafood lovers! This is hands down mine and my husbands favorite restaurant to get some of the best seafood we have ever had. The fried calamari is easily some of the best I have had anywhere in any country we have visited. The coating is crispy and seasoned perfectly. The marinara sauce adds a great touch to the fried deliciousness. The spicy seafood soup is always a warm and cozy welcome to the start of the meal. Dip some of the rolls they give you in it for some extra carb love. And the last dish, the paella, is our favorite entree we have tried here and is a staple every time we visit. Filled with lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels and scallops you cannot go wrong with this dish. The rice is cooked to perfection and the medley of seafood gives the best balance of flavors for the main dish. Not many restaurants that we go to use table linens anymore, but this one does which gives it a timeless classy feel every time we go. The tables are always cleared and set up after each guest very quickly. The gentlemen working are always attentive to our needs and very helpful with any questions we have about new menu items we want to try. I do believe they charge a service fee for using a credit card but I can't remember the amount exactly because we tend to have cash on hand whenever plan a dinner date here. If you're looking for the best calamari and some delicious seafood dishes this is the spot to visit for sure!

If you want rush service (rude restaurant manager) mediocre food didn't taste fresh overly salty and lots of crushed shells in the soup ), terrible ambience (flies everywhere) and to be charged 20% for service not earned (our waiter didn't check on us at all. Then you found the right place. My cod fish was chewable like gum. My child ordered a soup that is sure to raise you're pressure with the saturation of salt and the crushed shells everywhere. I reached out to the manager about the issues and he yelled at me and told me they charge everyone 20% no matter what it's the neighborhood tradition. I'm disgusted

Authentic Portuguese cuisine. Octopus, mussels, apps and a Portuguese version of a seafood paella platter had us stuffed. Good service and cozy classic restaurant. BIGGEST DOWNSIDE: NO BREAKDOWN ON THE BILL !!! That's a Huge Nooooooo! I hate places that do this. I was in a rush to see a show at the center and could not really dispute it, but I definitely felt like I overpaid. Times are tough now with pricing, and it is seafood, but the quick math in my head makes me feel like they got one over. For your customers satisfaction and assurance find a way to print out a breakdown of the BILL. It's 2024. Thank you

We went on a Monday night. We had some relatives visiting from overseas. Wanted to show them the Ironbound. Got street parking on the block. We ordered an amazing house salad, stuffed mushroom, Scallops & Prawns in Garlic sauce. Paella Valenciana had everything - seafood and meat. Mascarpone dessert with chocolate was really good. We ordered enough food for 6 or 7 people portion-wise, but were only 3 of us. Food was good, but bill including sangria and scotch came out to $220 for 3 of us - would have been half of that before. So for that price in Newark, should have been unforgettable. Also weirdly, there was 1/2 lobster left at the end of dinner. I thought I'd have it for dinner the next day. But they didn't put it in the box. That was weird. The staff was very nice, and they let us hang out as long as we wanted. Didn't rush us.

Always a treat to find an authentic institution where the food speaks for itself! I've always hailed Newark as having the best Iberian food in America and this place backs it up! Parking is easy and free, service is beautiful and all the food is fresh, flavorful and delicious. We got the bacalao fritters, pulpo ensalada, sopa de mariscos, salmon and pork tenders. Topped off with vinho verde and marscapone cup everything was delicious. The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate, yet lovely table settings and bar.

Authentic Portuguese food at its finest! Prepared with the best ingredients specializing in seafood. I have been being coming here with my family since I was a kid! Amazing service! Daily specials! That will remind you of your vacations in Portugal! Service is impeccable! Extensive wine list! I enjoy the white sangria! Make reservations! Parking lot and deck available- remember to get your parking ticket validated. Gratuity was added for our party of 6. Highly Recommend!!!

Even if you have the mildest allergy .Be forewarned This is not a restaurant that's careful in their kitchen . After telling them I was allergic , I ordered clams and they weee cooked with other seafood I had a horrific reaction . Everything is cooked with the shellfish . I asked for clams casino and they said they were cooked with shrimp . So I didn't order and still had a reaction . My husband loves this restaurant but I will never go back !

This has been in my top Ironbound selections since I was a little girl. When I think of seafood dishes and traditional Portuguese cuisine - I think of Seabras Marisqueira. Some of the best selections of fish, crabs, shrimp in the East Coast are brought to this very restaurant. I highly recommend making a reservation here as it books up quickly and the wait times can be rough. I prefer either the bar seating or front of house bar area vs the back of house restaurant. It seems to be busier, livelier and with that service is much more attentive. My Go-To Recommendations: - Gambás Mozambique (Prawns in Mozambique Style Garlic Spicy Sauce) THE BEST AROUND. - Arroz Cabidela (Rooster in Blood Rice) If you are looking for a traditional Portuguese dish, this is as traditional as it comes. Comforting, creamy and tender. - Chilean Sea Bass w. Mash Potatoes + Broccoli Rabe The slice of Chilean Sea Bass is as big as my face, super buttery and tender. It's everything you could hope for in a fish dish!

This is my second time eating here. Both times we've eaten in the bar area as we prefer this livelier environment. We also met Jerry who is an amazing server. Both times I've been here has been with big groups and he never disappoints. He's a jokester and it makes the night more memorable. The food is amazing no matter what we get. As your sitting there and watch others food come out, you start to drool. This time I had a watercress salad (ask for light on vinegar, they have a tendency to be heavy), our table shared escargot, and then we also shared several servings of "mixed meat kebabs" (espetadas mistas de carne). My friend had the soup of the day and said it was amazing. Fair warning one food servings here are normally pretty big. You must also try their French fries, they are cut like fresh chips- so delicious! We finished off with a few desserts which we also shared bc why limit yourself to just one flavor of goodness . Flan pudding ( pudim flan) , sweet rice pudding (arroz doce) Sawdust pudding (serradura) And finally the most Portuguese thing ever... espressos!

Wonderful Sunday afternoon lunch, simply delicious. On to the main course of Cowboy steak and lobster tail! Cowboy steak and lobster tail exceptional! Don't miss this opportunity!

Maybe my wife and I have become food snobs but we were just expecting 'more' out of this place. We found this place on Yelp as highly rated from the locals for best in-class Portuguese Seafood but when we went there - it was just okay. Maybe it's a Newark thing? The octopus salad my wife couldn't stomach after a few bites and the Mariscos stew was ...nothing special, to say the least. Overall for the price we paid for one appetizer, one shared dish and one alcoholic drink - we might have had a better time at a franchise like Red Lobster, hate to say. They also charged us 18% automatically which I thought was a little weird.

I sat outside and it felt so good here on the last day of August. My first clams casino and I am hooked. The briny juice with the bacon and bread crumbs were perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my appetizer as my dinner. I had flan for sweet and it did not disappoint. My waiter was spot on. As I came to the restaurant I explained that I go to restroom and return for outside and able for dinner for one. He had a menu and tablecloth set for me. So nice to be ready for me to return. BTW I loved the interior tile. It was gorgeous.

Ah Seabras... my beloved Seabras...My go to for the real deal Portuguese for close to 20 years has changed....and not for the better. Please don't misunderstand as the food is still top notch and authentic Portuguese, service is excellent and the restaurant is old school and spotless however Seabra Marisqueira has now gone for the money grab. It all started pre pandemic with a rapid increase on menu prices and the appearance of a ATM inside the entrance, then the mysterious credit card machine failures showed up on busy weekends with quick directions to the ATM {$2.00 surcharge/transaction} that had diners scrambling to get cash to pay ever inflated checks now with anywhere from 18 to 24% tips already added. Recently just to add insult to injury Seabras has added a 3% surcharge on credit card transactions to steer diners to the ATM which they undoubtedly earn a percentage of all transactions. In 2022 alone my wife and I have had 7 dinners with about 8 to10 diners at a time as we were so eager to expose our friends from all over the world to this cuisine and restaurant to the tune of several thousand dollars with very generous tips..... but to add on 3% just to use a card is just too much. Seabras is unfortunately becoming a tourist trap with questionable up charges as their fortunes rises with a slew of positive reviews in a number of publications and a parking lot full of out of state tags as the years go on. We will still dine at Seabras but with a heavy heart....and a heavy pocket....carrying a wad of cash in Newark no less.

Googled this restaurant and fell in love .. this is a Portuguese restaurant with a incredible selection of food! I ordered the grilled red snapper with veggies and my bf ordered the garlic chicken with rice and veggies. We also ordered a pitcher of the red sangria. Everything was great! The restaurant has outside and inside dining which we chose to sit outside. I really enjoyed my experience here. They have 2 free parking lots which was really convenient. Viewer beware: the restaurant is in a crowded area and is across the street from a dumpster garbage area .. there were mice running around on the street that you will notice if sitting outside . (disgusting) Advice is to sit inside.

I have been dining here for almost 30 years. I started eating alone at the counter, then bringing dates here, then my wife, my kid, and my friends. Has it gotten worse lately - YES - it's way more expensive, the service is more spotty and the food has dropped a small notch. BUT, is this place still worthwhile - YES. This is the kind of place where people come to celebrate. There are often many tables pushed together for large parties. The portions are large, and two can easily make a meal of one entree. HOWEVER, dining here is a gamble. From one visit to the next, the same regular menu dish might come prepared differently, or with different side dishes, or different entree size. And the knowledge (or forthcoming-ness) of the waiters really varies. I don't speak Portuguese - so I have to ask a lot of questions about the specials - and most of the waiters generally don't do a good job, or seem too interested in explaining dishes and preparations. Questions like "Can you tell me the difference between the menu fish stew and the fish stew on the specials menu" get blank stares - or maybe something vague (like we were told last visit) "The special is fish... in a stew" - in fact we ordered it - it was fish and CLAMS in a stew with UNMENTIONED pasta. How do you not mention these details? This is typical - and why I say a meal here is a gamble. SOMETIMES the food here is excellent. We've had some truly great meals here - most often where we order the most traditional seafood dishes and specials. A few recent reviews have mentioned shady practices. There's always a page of specials that is printed daily - for reasons I'll never understand - this page (PRINTED DAILY) doesn't list prices for the most expensive specials - it says "market price" - which it s a bit misleading. And the waiters often seem annoyed if you ask. On my most recent visit, we were charged $2 more than the menu's listed price for our appetizer. So, yes, there does seem to be some fast and loose accounting here. They do add a tip and a credit card fee - which is horrible - but at least this is now printed on the menu. This is a unique and interesting restaurant - and worth a visit - but: ask a lot of questions and relax and bring cash.

We had a reservation for 2pm. As there was an accident en route, we called at 145 saying we were on our way but would be 10 minutes late. When we arrived a little before 210, there was no table. Someone had written over our reservation 230pm and when we told them that we said we would only be 10 minutes late, we were rudely told that this is what the bartender told them, as if an incompetent bartender was our problem. No apology; no let me seat you promptly At 240, when we were still not seated, we left and enjoyed a great meal with proper polite service at Fornos, just down the street We used to enjoy Seabras, but their service has become more and more brusque and ornery ... a bit of a sense of they don't give a S*** anymore about the customer. we will not be back and will not recommend to friends and our frequent out of town visitors

Seabra is luxurious delicious the staff is attentive friendly and all to happy to help This spot is a Diamond

Unfortunately, very disorganized. Had reservations for 8pm and were not seated til 9:30. We were a party of 10 so not easy to find another restaurant to take us at that time. They claimed to have taken people without reservations earlier and they were backed up. Not a good start to what was supposed to be an enjoyable evening celebrating Fathers Day! The food is delicious. Everything ordered was amazing. Would suggest going in small group.

We were a party of 3, waited 45 minutes for food after we ordered (in a half empty dining room) and not 1 of 3 dishes was good. Plus we ordered wine after looking at the online wine list, because the waiter never gave us one even after we said we wanted it- and they charged us $20 MORE than what the online list said!!they claimed the online menu was old, though I showed it when ordering, AND food prices were updatEd so...??? Food was blah and the 'special' $45 octopus was overcooked and dry. scallops were sour tasting. even the cod specialty was unseasoned. I asked the waiter if the chefs were the regular chefs and was told yes. then the waiter said,everybody has an 'off' day. despite the waiters oversight costing me $20 extra on the wine the tip was built in on the bill @ 20%. I'll sum it up in two words: Never Again.

Food was good but the waiter definitely overcharging on chilean sea bass MP ($90) ... make sure you ask before ordering

Food was just blah .. nothing to brag about. The staff were great! Parking across the street a plus. Ambiance was nice, a lot of birthdays & upbeat bunch on a Saturday night. I personally think I can have better seafood, around the area, at nearby steakhouses.

I should have read the reviews first before entering! We were a party of 3. We ordered fried calamari, which came with a crumbly breading that fell off the calamari too easily. Calamari was a little stiff, dry, and could have been fresher. We also ordered a paella and requested that it be big enough for 3 people. Usually this arrives at other restaurants in a big pot with 1 and a 1/2 or 2 lobsters since it's for three guests. Ours came with half a lobster in a small paella pan with a few shrimp, 2 clams, and two scallops. The half of the tail seemed like it was from a smaller lobster, like a 1/4 pound. I've seen jumbo shrimp larger than this! It cost us $46! Two sodas and two seltzers add $21! Now, if that was not bad enough, when we got our check, we were charged 7% tax and charged 19% for "service" which was a tip, which is not required and is supposed to be the discretion of the guest. TIP stands for "To Insure Promptness." Well, it didn't end there: the subtotal on the handwritten check was less than the one on the credit card machine receipt. It was a phantom charge to boost their earnings for the day. This was all a very negative experience-- I didn't think that in this day and age of restaurants trying to survive, instead of improving their relationship with the community, they resort to this type of in-your-face piracy. As I looked around my table, I felt sorry for those larger groups of guests that didn't know that they were going to get ripped off even more than we did, along with dealing with the little fruit flies that we kept swatting away. I would stay away from this place.

Whenever I visit my friend in Newark, this is one restaurant that I don't mind visiting. They use to have an outdoor patio, which I think it's much nicer but they said they had to remove it because it was getting to cold for their customers. Regardless, we came here on a Saturday around 4pm and this place was packed and felt super lively. Our waiter Jerry took care of us and had us seated next to the window. Though he did warn us that it's better to make reservation because this place can get packed especially if Prudential is having a live performance. My friend and I ordered their twin stuff lobsters, fried sardine, grilled octopus and another dish that I can't remember. Everything came out timely which was perfect because it gave us time to enjoy each dishes and let me tell you it was delicious. I especially enjoy their grill octopus. It was huge and drenched in garlic oil which up it to a whole new level of goodness. As for decor, it's a bit outdated but still fun to dine in. You'll also have to check out their kitchen staff. Through the glass you can see how hard working their staff are. Just watching them reminded me of that piece by Antonio Vivaldi, The Four Season (Winter). This restaurant also offer complimentary parking for their customers but just make sure you tip the guy well before you leave to show your appreciation.

Food is OK. I did not enjoy nor did my daughter. I had a very dry unseasoned steak. Not good at all. My daughter's broiled lobster tails were tasteless. The garlic shrimp appetizer was OK I've had better at other places in Ironbound section. My brother in law ordered what are probably top 3 Alaskan king crab legs I've ever had but unfortunately that wasn't my order. They were grilled and delicious. Service was excellent. Parking across the street was validated. Heard so many good things maybe it was a bad night I'll give it ONE more try I'll definitely order the crab legs.

A place for seafood..it's just..WOW. So yummy and definitely out of my comfort zone in terms of food. The menu wasn't large but it had a variety of options and I just couldn't decide. Ended up getting the seas food kebab with shrimp, squid and monk fish, it was cooked well and not dry at all. The shrimp appetizer was so good! The flavor was perfect.

The absolute most delicious Portuguese cuisine! I can't say enough good things! Every dish prepared to perfection and filled with amazing flavors. I especially like the seafood in green sauce! The bar has everything you need and wonderful wines and sangria. The deserts are delicious!

I gave the restaurant a three because the Lamb Chops were chewy and tough. I guess I made the wrong choice because it looks like they specialize in sea food. My friends loved the Crab Cakes and Shrimp. Service was great.

Seabra's Marisqueira had a mix of Portuguese/Brazilian dishes and they were so authentic and fresh. The restaurant was VERY busy so be ready to wait for a bit.

This place was so good! I'd come again and against super chill vibe and amazing staff. So friendly and they gave good recommendations. The platter of seafood really did feed 4 because we had so much left over for the two of us. But everything was so good and flavorful. I liked the sauces that came in the different plates.

Food was good,Service was very slow,I saw roaches crawling,after a while they forget about your order

The classic grilled lobster I was looking for, for over 6 years, was found HERE! Brilliant time. I fully endorse this place. 4 out 5: stars because parking is a headache, also I haven't tried enough to speak about consistency, or much of the rest of the menu. Do go. Go. Just Go! Eat ! FEAST!

First time eating there.We sat at the bar hoping to have faster service(going to concert)Service was slow ,the food was just ok,nothing over the top.Truthfully I thought for what we had,shrimps and scallops-almost $95. This is with no apps either.

My FAVORITE seafood restaurant in New Jersey, hands down! The wait staff are always on point & make you feel welcome! The sangria is delicious! I always get the cold seafood platter which feeds about 2-3 people, even though I can eat the whole platter on my own. I love looking at the seafood & the cooking while waiting to be seated if dining in the back. There is front seating with bar seating as well. It is a bit pricey but worth it!

Food was average. Had the steak which was not cooked as ordered. Service was good and attentive at the bar. My wife had fish and could not eat it. Would not recommend as there are many good places to eat in the Ironbound area.

Grilled salmon is amazing! Huge portions, great ambience. Pro tip is to sit around the big bar in the front of the restaurant.

The CC machine is not BROKEN, they want you to use their ATM.......if you read nothing furter I want you to know that. I really hate to do this becuase ive always loved it here but it has just gotten so sketchy. I assume this is all due to the financial stress of the pandemic. The restaurant is doing what they can to maximize profits in a very shitty way. I would say I have been here about 10 times and I will not return again, I also will no longer recommend this place to family and friends. 1. My friend and I ordered the frutos del mar. (this is in like every review) it a large seafood platter wihch cost $80. The waiter seeing that we were just a party of two suggested we order the platter from the specials which is just for two people. We could see this platter was $75. When we asked how this made any sense we were told the two person platter comes with two lobsters and thats why, it only eliminates the mussels really. When it came out, no two lobsters this was just the restaurant pulling a fast one. I saw these $75 platters coming out of the kitchen left and right. They are pushing them. It was half of the food of the $80 one. 2. When the bills came and we put down two credit cards they told us the chip reader was not working. Again we are not born yesterday, if this was the case after three chip attempts the machine will ask for a swipe. So we basically told him this was bullshit. His story changed to say that the credit card machine was not working at all. When we didnt back down, it then all of a sudden was working again. We looked around and could see they were trying to pull this with everyone and most were falling for it. Other reviews even note the same story and how they went to the ATM. They have an ATM in the restaurant of which they are collecting a $4.00 fee from!! Then they get the cash for the food avoiding the service charge there too. Double win for them. 3. They are now adding a tip on ALL bills. Not just parties of six or more. The bill also (if you get past the CC scam) has a suggested tip on top of that. They are hoping you do not notice then tip again. 4. We were charged $4.00 for water. Hey- if they raise menu prices across the board and even note that they prefer cash or offer a small discount for cash this would have been all fine with us. We want to support local businesses at this time. I guess they just hope most people are not paying attention or are just not wlling to be confrontational. Please check your bill, a lot of people wrote about accidential overcharges as well.

They're not open. And it says open til 2a. Sucks for me. And I don't like being played.

As "iron bound" as they come. Delicious and fresh cooked to order Portuguese classics. Service by Jerry was on point as always.

This is one my favorite places to go to anytime I'm in the area. Great service and delicious food.

Absolutely delicious! Some info There is a parking lot near by with a gentleman overseeing as security (always nice to tip him). Covid precautions are in place such as hand sanitizer provided, mask required to come in, all staff has masks on, and social distancing enforced. Call to make reservations! They are strict on limited capacity, my family and I felt safe because of this! Onto the food! My family ordered the seafood platter for 2, mariscada, grilled cod and steak with ham and eggs. Drinks we had a pitcher of red sangria, martinis and cokes. Dessert was chocolate mousse, molotoff, bolo de bolacha and cheese cake. Everything was not only delicious but fresh! I can't stress enough how fresh everything tastes. I love vegetables and had broccolini and could taste the freshness in each bite. Nothing is frozen and it shows! We will definitely be coming back as we love our seafood! Thank you for such a great evening!

Hi i been going to this Restaurant for many years now , mainly lunch i decided to invite a co- worker we were greeted and seated right away waiter came we ask for a big bottle of water then proceeded to order . House salad, Sapateira , grilled octopus , Grilled Prawns . 2 espressos . The salad and Sapateira came right away Delicious as usual , then we waited about 40 min for Octopus and grilled prawns . RIDICULOUS TIME .The kitchen or waiter decided to bring it all together in a silver platter which i didnt like at all . Octopus should it been separate on a dish ,by the way they only served us (2 tentacles) very disappointed. I got ripped off right there . They charged me $175. Plus they included a tip on their own $35. Total $210.I didn't complaint because we waited so long for the prawns and Octopus. I think they charge whatever they like if they see you are not Portuges they give you less food and charged you more . I will never go back again is getting ridiculous again no complaints about food quality.my complaint is about the 2 octopus tentacle they were served all together with prawns and the amount they charged me $$$ .

This place was recommended to my husband. They were on point with the Paella marinera . I was delicious, i you want to try good seafood you have to come to this place . Can't wait to go back .

This place was pretty good. A bit pricey but it is seafood. We had calamari appetizer and some clams. Both were pretty delicious. The clams were in a garlic wine sauce. The sauce is good with bread. For our main we had the mariscana and chicken and garlic. Portions are pretty big. The mariscana was the star of the show. Dip your bread in it or eat it with the rice. Chicken was good too. We tried two of the desserts but everything looked good. The desserts were really good. I can't remember what they were called but I would come back just for the desserts. This place looks alittle more initiate. Not sure it's family friendly, maybe good for a date. Looks pretty inside. There's a bar too. Parking is across the street and complimentary with validation from the restaurant.

My family and I love love LOVE this place!!! What you get here is what feels like a very authentic Portuguese experience --all the way from the food, service, and ambiance! The seafood here is fresh and deliciously cooked and the serving size is MASSIVE. It's what makes it a great place to come with family and friends to celebrate special occasions over amazingly tasty food. During our last visit on Christmas with my family and a bunch of our friends, we shared the frutos do mar, frutos do mar na cataplana and a tower of delicious meats (I'm sad I forgot the name of this dish!) served with rice, potato chips, and veggies. All of it was SO GOOD that I literally think I got the best gift I could get on Christmas. The seafood and meat were all fresh and skillfully prepared. I especially loved the flavoring of the broth that some of the seafood was cooked in--it was super flavorful that I found myself just spooning lots of that broth onto my rice and just eating it straight that way. I also loved those chips, which I felt gave a nice salt and crunch to accompany a lot of the seafoods and meat that we ate. Oh, and don't forget to order some sangria to accompany your meal--it really completes the overall experience. I can go on and on about how amazing everything is, but I think you should do yourself a favor and come here and try it out for yourself! You really can't go wrong here-- you'll get quality, delicious food for a good value price. My mouth is literally watering just writing this review!!

Excellent service and delicious, tasty food. We had the Grilled cod fish and Grilled Octopus . For dessert we had Serradura and Flan . It was just wonderful .

Seabra's Marisqueira used to be my go to place for Portuguese fish dishes for over 34 years but unfortunately, after yesterday's lunch outing with my girlfriend, I will not be going back. 2 orders of Ameijoas À Casino (clams casino) were undercooked and slightly fishy at $16.50 per order. 2 glasses of watered down sangria for $29 is absurd and then when the bill came they charged me $5.50 for these 2 deep fried mystery meat log things covered in a red sauce that I didn't order. When I inquired about this charge, the waiter tells me they just put these on the tables and if you eat them you're charged. I looked at him like he had 3 heads paid the bill and left. I'm going to miss the free parking lot across the street from the restaurant. Ci La Vie

It's been over 2 years so decided to give it a chance again. Nope never again. 1-star waiting over 20 min to get our order in and another 10 minutes to get our water 1-star for overall terrible service 1-star for food quality that has declined and rise is pricing. Basically the fish stew was inedible, incredibly salty. One scallop in the entire pot for $42? 0-star is I could for tip that was added on for 3 people and made to look like tax. Not going to waste my time/ money at this restaurant again.

$4.50 for 1 can of soda and $15 for a caprinha with lime and ice no liquor and automatically add 20% tip to a table of 2 people

As far as authentic Portuguese seafood, it probably doesn't get any more authentic than this. Everybody speaks Portuguese at this restaurant, from the patrons to the waitstaff to the menu. On an early Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was very busy, but we were able to score two seats by the bar. In fact, as you enter the restaurant, the first thing you notice is the beautiful marble-top bar, with some wonderfully looking chilled crabs and shrimp on display. I was impressed. Unfortunately the rest of our experience was not up to par with that first impression. Having seen percebes/goose barnacles on the menu, we promptly ordered this item. This was the first time for me trying percebes, and I enjoyed them. First I had to figure out how to eat them, so thank YouTube for that! There is a tiny, tasty morsel of meat in each barnacle, so it's a lot of work[1]! The octopus salad was surprisingly bland. The octopus itself had very little flavor outside the vinegar-based sauce drizzled on top. Properly cooked, nice and tender; just not very flavorful. And not much better was the garoupa/grouper steak, which was grilled and served with a very large slab of butter on top, plus some pretty sad boiled vegetables (broccoli rabe, a couple of slides of carrots, and a piece of potato) on the side. In retrospect perhaps we should have ordered a more traditional Portuguese dish, but the whole fresh grouper looked delicious, and this is a type of fish you don't see often in American restaurants. Who knew that grilled fish would end up being just meh. Portions are generous, so come hungry. ----------------------- [1] Also, be careful, as these things squirt like crazy when you squeeze them.

Delicious food with good portion. My friend recommended this place to me. I order Frutos do Mar and Paelha A Marinheira and these are enough for at least four people. We had 3 people and wasn't able to finish all food so we saved the Paelha A Marinheira for the next day.
