Best Tapas Restaurants in Watchung

The food is always fresh and delicious. Staff is very professional and hospitable. We ate downstairs for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. We had the Crispy Squid (with Sweety drop pepper, white onion, balsamic vinaigrette), “Key West” Florida Grouper (Coconut-panko crust, citrus basmati, charred broccolini, lump crab, avocado key lime butter) and Red Snapper w/ Spicy Potato & Herb Butter (Crispy yukon potato, cherry pepper, aspiration, basil, crispy leek). Possibly our new favorite New Brunswick restaurant.

Always excellent. Our 2nd time. Bilal is great behind the bar. A fantastic addition to the local food scene.

Have been to Mistral many times and it’s always A+ across the board. Valentine’s Day was no exception: absolutely perfect. Price fix meal, 3 courses. I had potato leek, onion, sourdough crouton dill soup, crab agnolotti, chocolate bundini. Husband had kale salad, lamb shank, key lime pie. Everthing was great as were our cocktails. The bundini with thyme (who would come up with that?) was delicious and worth every carb. Thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful celebration dinner!

The food is delicious. There are so many good options to choose from. We had the garlic shrimp, clams in a red sauce, mussels in a green sauce, and paella. All very good. And the service was great! The staff was very friendly. Great restaurant!

So cute! It was early so it was empty. We had drinks and apps. Pork and black bean sliders were so good. Delivered hot which I love. So flavorful and the perfect meal before a show at the Welmont. Three big sliders per order. Very worth the money. Service could have been better. Look forward to coming again in warm weather to sit outside!!
