it was our first time, but definitely not our last. awesome sitting and eating at the circular bar, enjoying the friendly atmosphere and the culture. i had a shell steak, which turned out to be the best strip steak i've had in a while. my wife had fresh salmon which was also wonderful. the portions are enormous. add a small picture of sangria, generous on alcohol, and our bill was $51.00!! free parking across the street, also. don't miss it, if you're in newark.
