Chateau Of Spain - Newark

I attended a sweet 16 birthday party at this restaurant with a group of about 20 friends. The setup was nice, but parking was difficult since it was a Sunday. We were seated on the second floor, with tables arranged according to our party size. Unfortunately, there was another loud party nearby, which was a bit annoying as they were very noisy. The food, however, was excellent and everyone at our table enjoyed their meals without any complaints. We ordered a pitcher of red and white sangria, but they didn't taste as flavorful as expected - possibly due to too much ice.

The food was tasty overall, however, the rolls were served cold with cold butter, which was a bit disappointing. The sangria was diluted and didn't seem to have much alcohol content. I'm not a big drinker, but it didn't even have a little kick to it. It was a bit funny, to be honest.

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.

If you visit Newark, do yourself a favor get a wonderful meal from Chateau of Spains. The food is always perfect. You get a nice portion of whatever you get. I had the garlic chicken cutlet with yellow rice Spanish fries. It comes with shrimp as well. I added a nice glass of red sangria. Don't let my picture fool you. I was on the Amtrak train. My meal was perfect!!!

I recently celebrated my daughter's college graduation from William Patterson University at this restaurant and the entire experience was phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. Kevin was such a delight and we were very impressed with his charm and excellent service. He truly went above and beyond. Thank you for making our celebration so special!
