Great food any time of day! Always delicious, and happy hour makes it even better.
My first time here and I was beyond pleased with everything. Food, service, atmosphere everything was great! The chicken wings were huge and so good, the burger was delicious and the Ssngria, I'll just say we had more than 3 pitchers! Everything was so good! Definitely a vibe and a good one at that. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back for a visit.
This Spot downtown Newark by city hall, prudential center and more is DELIGHTFUL 😊 Stop In feel the Warmth its great for Hockey 🏒 night Events. Special occasions and shout to Chino!!! Best Bartender Ever! Love ❤️ this Place You will TOO!!!
Delightful dinner out! Highlights were the calamari, and the steak and shrimp on the specials that night (maybe every night?). My wife got the Paella which was enormous and full of seafood, enough for at least two ppl.
I went to the Château Spain for a work event, and I am so glad that I hosted the event at this place. We ordered a specific event package which included food and drinks! The options were delicious and we ate everything.
Tried their food for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised yet grateful that they served chicken wings like it ought to be (a whole chicken wing counted as one) the wings were seasoned and fried well. The food temperature was on point. Overall the food was very good. The cashiers were polite. Would recommend and would definitely eat there again. Thank you all!
This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. They have dining set up downstairs and upstairs, they have more of a fine dining set up.
My girlfriend and I came here to dine for our anniversary. I made sure to make reservations in advance. This was our first time trying Chateau of Spain and it did not disappoint at all. My gf and I arrived there shortly after 11:30a. The staff was polite and courtesy upon our arrival. Once we were seated our server made sure we had water, fresh bread and butter at our table. I had the sirloin steak sandwich (well done) along with onion rings. My gf order a combination platter which consisted of onion rings, chicken tenders, fried calamari, mozzarella sticks, and hot wings. Our food was well prepared and came out hot. They have a pretty good variety of food and beverages to pick from. The prices are somewhat expensive but Chateau of Spain does provide wonderful and great service. We'll definitely be back sometime in the future.
Went to a friends sweet 16 birthday party here and the setup was really nice. Thank goodness it was on a Sunday because parking would have been tough. We were on the second floor. Tables were set up according to the number in the party which we had about 20. One thing that was annoying was another party that was there was very loud. I mean laughing and talking as if they were they only ones there. It would have been nice if they asked them to calm down a bit but nope we had to deal with it until they left. The food was really good. No one at our table had problems or complaints. We ordered a pitcher of red and white sangria. Neither tasted flavorful like a sangria should be to me. Maybe they put to much ice 🤷🏾♀️. Overall a great place to eat and I do plan to return.
This is related to a small family gathering on a Sunday. The elevator made it easy to transport items to upper level. Staff greeted us at the door to assist with cake and signage. The staff was pleasant from beginning to the end. There was another gathering in the same room after ours and my biggest concern was turn around time if I were the later party I would not want to walk into a mess. The staff was diligent in the clean up and linen changes without rushing us to clear the room. There was a need for another table and the staff accommodated the extra senior guests quickly and without disrupting the flow of the event. The only uncomfortable thing in the upper room ( back) is the fact this is where the bathrooms are located so everyone walks through that room. There were no problems but that needs to be considered if you are considering a private event in this particular room.
Food was great. Got the garlic shrimp and stuffed mushrooms. Food came out really really slow however, attitude of one of the waiters was not very good, seemed bummed about his job. The man with the glasses, his service was excellent, super polite, props to him. Overall an OK experience. If you're in the area come here but maybe not worth going to from a distance.
Perfect location to hit up before a hockey game for apps and drinks. The sangria was REALLY good. We ended up ordering some of their Portuguese food and unfortunately were really disappointed with the lack of flavor and high price (we spent $145 on 1 glass of sangria, 2 entrees, and an appetizer). We’ll probably come back before another game but instead get the fried chicken like everyone else 😅. Just a heads up, gratuity is automatically applied to your check.
We came at 9 to grab dinner while in town for an event. We all had the stuffed sole specials. Originally one of our party ordered swordfish but the kitchen ran out. It took them 45 minutes to tell us this so it took over hour to get the food. We were the last people to leave the restaurant. The food was good. But not so good to make up for that really long wait.
Sadly, we wouldn’t come back here again… To start off, the service and ambiance were excellent. But we ordered the mussels diablo in green sauce, and the mussels were foul—expired or contaminated in some way, and giving off a STRONG bad smell. We wondered how the cooks didn’t notice this, and they served it to us anyway. Sent it back. Someone can get seriously sick. We had ordered the seafood paella at the same time, and when it came, the same expired mussels were in it. There’s an issue with quality control… However, the other dishes such as the white wine sangria, calamari, and chicken cutlet with garlic sauce were nice.
Ever seen an authentic Spanish joint with fried chicken on the menu? Neither have I! But that was the only decent food here and that’s not saying much. A friend and I stopped in for dinner, it wasn’t busy at all on the weeknight we went. Sat near the bar and started with their shrimp in garlic sauce, which was bland, definitely nothing like the real Gambas al Ajillo you’d get from an authentic Spanish restaurant. This version had frozen shrimp which weren’t very good and the sauce was bland, no spice and hardly any garlic. Based on this and the pics I saw online, I opted for fried chicken for my entrée. Their fried chicken was hardly battered, mostly just fried chicken skin with a very lite, unflavorful dredge, if any dredge at all. Their “saffron” rice had color, but no flavor. Their black beans were also rather flavorless. Thankfully they had decent hot sauce, because that’s what I used to give my dinner flavor. Service was adequate. Definitely would never return here. I’m sure this place is run by Spanish folks, they just de-flavored their food and use not-so-fresh ingredients that it just really negatively affected the flavors and overall experience.
I ordered chicken Parmesan and pasta because I had it before, It was delicious back than about 5 months ago.but today oh my God it had know good taste to it. I was very disappointed and it cost me $31.00. wasted money on my part but they got paid. Yuk
