I had recently returned from Ireland and I was craving fish and chips. New Jersey is not a hotbed for authentic tasting fish and chips but research led me to the Argyll Restaurant in Kearney.I was greeted by a lovely waitress, who gave me the history of the restaurant. She also explained all of the goodies that were on the menu. I told her about my craving and she happily extolled the virtues of the Argyll fish and chips. After asking a lot of questions, I decided on the fish and chips.I was not disappointed. The fish was flaky and tender. The chips aka fries were crispy, golden brown and tasted soooooooooooooo fresh. The Cole slaw was even delicious. I WILL BE going back!

My sister lives in Portugal so I have been able to try a good deal of Portuguese food in restaurants there. This place has a wonderful old world feel, is sparklingly clean, and has a diverse real Portuguese menu. There also a dedicated parking lot right outside in an apparently very safe neighborhood.We had among us seafood, chicken, steak, salad, rice, Portuguese soup - all with a nice flavorful touch - and some wonderful vino verde - young green wine - all at very fair prices.We chatted with the owner and had an orange cake dessert made by his wife. All unhurried; all with willing, helpful service. The only thing missing was my sister - still in Portugal.

Old school Italian neighborhood place with pictures of celebrities covering the walls and frankie valley playing on the jukebox. We had clams oreganata, long hot peppers, and shrimp Beeps, all excellent. I had to deduct one point for not being able to eat at the bar, and for being rushed.

This place has the best food. I really like the Shrimp in Garlic. This is really only shrimp, garlic and olive oil. The best as an appetizer. Then I get the shrimp in wine sauce. A great dish that comes out sizzling. Highly recommended.

Had a long leisurely lunch with an old colleague. I had one of the lunch specials, the Paella Valencia. Very good. Lots of seafood, Spanish sausage and a half of a lobster tail. Huge portions. Plan on leaving with a doggie bag. The bread was delicious. Excellent service. On site parking lot. Accessibility ramp. The only negative thing that I can say, if it is a negative--they wouldn't let me package my own leftovers. Said that it was't allowed. This is the first time that I have encountered this. I prefer to put my leftovers in the container myself. They were nice about it though. They didn't rush us and let us stay as long as we wanted. I definitely would go again. It's worth a visit.

The Portuguese cuisine was expensive and average considering what one can find in Newark Iron Bond. To make the experience even worse after lunch with my spouse, is that I was charged a mandatory 15% tip without my authorization. I confronted the waiter who had nothing to say. I sent an instant message to their Facebook page. No response whatsoever.

We routinely have our holiday party here as it is convenient and reasonable priced per person. I always order the black bean soup as a starter as it is really good. I am also a big fan of the paella. The sangria is top notch and they host a lot of holiday parties. If you are looking to have a large party down neck, this is a great choice.

First off, nice ambiance and a great wine list! It is loaded with a fabulous selection of Spanish wines. Pleasantly surprised. Lots of options on the menu. We started off with some clams to share that were really flavorful and perfectly done. For our entrees we ordered a paella and suckling pig. Both huge portions but both also dry...very dry. Was expecting better. Expensive.I'm glad you appreciated our extensive wine list. It's wonderful you enjoyed the clams as well. As for the entrees, I'm sorry you weren't as impressed there. I look forward to the next opportunity we get to earn another star or two from you.Sincerely,Andres, Manager

First time at this restaurant and fell in love with it. Service, wine list and food was fantastic. They bring bread and complimentry soup and we had ordered calimari which was good. We tried paella that was the best I've had in the US. So full we did not experience desert. Some on street parking and a well lit lot across the street for restaurant patrons.
