The food was excellent, the service was the best and more importantly, the Hostess assigned to our party, Sophia is by the far the Hostess any establishment could possibly have. As an owner of a sizable Accounting firm, my hope is that the owner's know what they have in this wonderful employee

5/10/08 Mother's Day Dinner. 17 people in my party coming from Phila. Sicklerville, Willingboro,NJ. Upon arrival no record of our reservation which was made a month in advance. After we were finally seated and had our appetizer and just placed our order for the entree, the fire alarm went off. After some minutes fire alarm went off again and from where we were sitting we could see the water pouring from the sprinkler system. At this point there was no managerial control. If there was a manager in charge of the dining room or kitchen they failed to do anything about the situation. Some waiters spoke to their customers other just stood around, other tables like our had to search for their waiters and ask what was going on. We were told the kitchen was closed and no dinners would be served; note it was 8:30pm. Never once did anyone appear to apologize for the inconvenience, there was never a general announcement made to the customers. When we got outside we were greeted by a fire engine, and still no one from the staff made their selves available to the customers as they left.It was agreed by everyone that the Armory displayed POOR!POOR!management.Classes need to be made availabe to the entire staff at the Armory on 'HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS TO KEEP THEM COMING BACK"

We have been going to The Armory for 15yrs since the Seabra's took ownership. I am so upset over the downhill spiral of one of our most favorite restaurants!!!

The service was absolutely terrible. We were seated and the waiter took the order for a pitcher of Sangria. He brings us the pitcher and did not bring glasses until we called over another waiter.

The place was not busy - there were only 2 other tables.

It took over 15 minutes until another waiter came to take our order.

The salad bar (which used to be one of the best ever) was soggy lettuce, the palest tomatoes (Jersey is known for the best ever tomatoes, obviously not in Perth Amboy). The tuna tasted sour and was inedible. Nothing else was even worth putting on the plate.

For appetizers, the chorizos were almost raw and very greasy. The calamari was so soggy and also inedible.

Dinner: almost an 1-15 minutes before our dinner came! No bread brought out. Salmon special was completely dried out & my husband's chicken was raw.

The only thing good was the sangria. But, $230 for an inedible meal???

we have been going there for over 7yrs. by ourselves and with large groups of family. the food is great. the service is not good at all. waiters are inattentive and they do ignore you and never come around for refills on soda or liquor. the salad bar selections got smaller over the years. we keep going there just for the seafood. their prices have gone up and the service has gone down. after 7yrs. not sure if i will go back

My family and I have been going here for over five years. This is our favorite place to dine. The food is delicious,the sangria is great & the atmosphere is electric. To capture the real ambience you should sit inside.

I live a few blocks from the restaurant, so I've been there several times with friends. Three of us went last night, the service was terrible! We waited 15 minutes before a waiter even acknowledged that we were even seated outside. It was not all that busy either. The only thing good about the meal was the sangria! One of the appetizers came out cold, the waiter took it back to the kitchen and then brought it out burned. No portuguese bread, horrible white bread. Two of us ordered the rodizio... after 10 minutes of sitting there waiting for someone to come by, the waiter finally asked if we were ready. Then 10 guys come at once! Service 0. Value 1. Meal 1. The only thing the Armory has going for it is that you can sit outside. If you want first class Portuguese food, go for Forno's in Newark!!!

The rodizio for lunch was wonderful. Great food, great service, great value and a great location. The view of the water from our table and the location right next to the pier was very nice. The sangria was also excellent.

The best Portugese restaurant around, right on the water. Watch the boats go by and relax outside during the Spring through the Fall. The best.
