A hallmark of Saint Louis University is the faculty's tradition of excellence in their scholarly, pedagogical and service emphasis on ethics throughout undergraduate, graduate and professional school curricula. Under the leadership of internationally-recognized ethicist Fr. John F. Kavanaugh, S.J., the University's Ethics Across the Curriculum program has inspired, enhanced and sustained ethics-based teaching, research and service.
The VOICES Project has enthusiastically embraced the call to continue this tradition of excellence, and will directly support and fund the Ethics Across the Curriculum effort through a series of coordinated initiatives throughout 2009. Tobias Winright, Assistant Professor of Moral Theology, will direct a coordinated series of programs focused on:
Summarized below are the primary Ethics Across the Curriculum initiatives for 2009. Each of these opportunities aim to facilitate the professional development of non-ethics faculty who would like to incorporate more ethics and ethical deliberation into their own classrooms and programs but are unsure how to go about doing so. Check out upcoming ethics-based lectures and announcements at the bottom of this webpage.
Summer Faculty Workshop
This is a professional development opportunity for non-ethics faculty in academic departments across the University who would like to incorporate more ethics into their own classrooms but are unsure how to go about doing so. In his Vision Statement, President Biondi writes, "My vision is to establish and maintain Saint Louis University as the finest Catholic university in the United States, wherein the entire University community is actively engaged in student formation. Challenged by outstanding faculty and a modern, value-centered curriculum reflecting the Jesuit tradition, students are fully prepared to contribute to society and to be effective leaders of social change based on the ethical values and principles taught in the Saint Louis University tradition." Although the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Theological Studies, and other academic units offer ethics courses for students, delegating the task of ethics education and formation to one set of disciplines and teachers is insufficient for implementing this Vision.
Thus, this 5-day interactive workshop seeks to equip non-ethics faculty to incorporate ethical reflection more knowledgeably and deliberately into a course (or courses) in their home discipline. With presentations and hands-on conversations with ethicists, staff from the Center for Teaching Excellence, and reference librarians, the workshop will provide a basic familiarity with the fundamentals of ethics (theories, principles, methods, etc.) and a "toolbox" of concrete, practical ideas and resources (e.g., case studies, discussion starters, etc.) to apply within the classroom.
Information for the 2010 workshop will be posted in January 2010.
Faculty Fellows in Ethics
Six faculty from various disciplines throughout the University will be appointed as VOICES Faculty Fellows in Ethics. These Fellows will receive a $2500 stipend ($1250 disbursed on August 31 and $1250 on December 31) either to: a) revise a current departmental course or develop a new course incorporating ethics as an integrated element of study; and/or b) conduct research and write an essay for possible presentation and/or publication about an ethics-related issue or topic, which may also have pedagogical outcomes, in their home discipline.
Ethics Across the Curriculum, along with support from the VOICES Project, would like to announce the faculty chosen for the 2009 VOICES Faculty Ethics Fellows program. The fellows represent a range of disciplines across the curriculum and University, and each project has the potential to make a discernible impact here at Saint Louis University, as well as in the wider community. Fellowship recipients/projects are as follows:
1. Renzo Llorente, Ph.D., Department of Humanities, SLU Madrid - "Ethics Journals for Phil 205 Ethics Courses"
2. Jintong Tang, Ph.D., Department of Management - "Do Ethically Suspect Behaviors Prevent or Promote Firm Growth?"
3. Andrew Steele, M.D., FACOG, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health - "Training OB/GYN Residents Within a Catholic Healthcare Context"
4. Mary (Rina) Chittooran, Ph.D., Department of Educational Studies, "The Ethics of Research With Children in Schools"
5. Erin Chambers, Ph.D., and David Letscher, Ph.D., Department of Computer Science, and William Rehg, S.J., Ph.D., Department of Philosophy - "Computer Ethics"
6. Mark Ruff, Ph.D., Department of History - "Genocide in the 20th Century and Its Aftermath"
Faculty/Staff Ethics Discussion Groups
In the Spring 2009 and Fall 2009 semesters, the Ethics Across the Curriculum program will sponsor two faculty and staff Ethics Book Discussion Groups. For each, faculty and staff from throughout the University will read a short common text or collection of essays, and then gather twice in small groups of 15-20 to reflect upon and analyze how the issues raised in their readings are or should be addressed in their personal lives, professional careers, and the education of SLU's students.
During the Fall 2009 semester, the Ethics Across the Curriculum program will sponsor another Book Discussion Group. Faculty and staff from throughout the University are invited to read and discuss over lunch Anthony Weston's Creative Problem-Solving in Ethics (Oxford University Press, 2007; 79 pages). We will gather twice in small groups of 7-10 to reflect upon and discuss the ways in which Weston offers new and productive ways for engaging complex and controversial moral questions and issues in our classrooms--regardless of academic discipline--and our personal and professional lives.
Dates: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 from noon until 1:00; Tuesday, November 10, 2009 from noon until 1:00. We will meet both dates in DuBourg Hall, Room #157, the Refectory.
A "how-to" book about creativity in ethics, Creative Problem-Solving in Ethics covers such practical methods as diversifying options, lateral thinking, reframing problems, approaching conflicts as creative opportunities, and many others. It shows how to find "room to move" inside even the most challenging ethical problems, and thereby discover creative ways to deal with them. The book features numerous exercises and applications that consider a wide range of familiar ethical issues--including the moral status of animals, the death penalty, poverty, drug use, and many others--and ends with some of the toughest: abortion, assisted suicide, and environmental ethics.
General readers will find this book useful as an engaging, brief introduction to creative thinking in ethics. An ideal supplement for any general ethics course, it can also be used in more specific "applied" courses like bioethics, business ethics, and social ethics, as well as in critical thinking courses that emphasize ethics. From the very beginning of the book, readers will discover that creative thinking can offer imaginative and promising alternatives to seemingly intractable ethical dilemmas.
Lunch will be provided to participants at both sessions. To sign up to participate in the book discussion group, email Dr. Tobias Winright at email@example.com. If you would like to serve in addition as a group discussion leader, let Dr. Winright know in your email message. Group discussion leaders will receive a small honorarium for their efforts. A free copy of the book will be provided in advance to all participants and group discussion leaders.
Following is some feedback from the Spring, 2009 discussion groups:
"Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the book discussions. Having conversations about ethics reminded me about how important it is to have meaningful conversations with colleagues about very challenging and yet very meaningful topics. Thank you for organizing it."
"Discussions with colleagues was most helpful and interesting."
"I hoped that I would hear other people's views, based on their fields. And I feel that I got that."
"Thank you! This is a great way to engage other faculty, have thought-provoking conversations and think about our decision-making at home and in the classroom. What Academia is (should be?) all about!"
"Reading the book and the discussions that followed made me view ethical dilemmas in a whole new light."
University-wide Communication and Collaboration
The University is fortunate to be home to several well-respected and prominent ethics centers, including:
The Ethics Across the Curriculum Program endeavors to be a conduit for communication and collaboration among the University's various ethics centers, serving as an interdisciplinary educational hub.

"I have a new favorite book"
Very compelling look at capitalism vs socialist ideals.
Not possible... too long. But yes, the desire to keep listening is compelling
Avid reader and listener, of both fiction on non-fiction. I especially love history, adventure, and creative, clever and unusual characters!
"Still one of the greatest stories EVER"
There is a reason that the classic Atlas Shrugged has remained one of the best selling books for over 50 years: it is simply a phenomenal tale, before its time in many ways, and filled with fascinating characters and unpredictable plot elements. Scott Brick is not my favorite reader, but he does a reliable job in telling this complex story. This audio version remains one of my favorite listens ever, and my husband and I have both listened to it several times. It is an undertaking, to be sure, at 63 hours, but there is so much story to be told that you will relish every hour.
I will not give any spoilers to listeners who have not read the book, but suffice it to say that the events of Atlas Shrugged sound as if they are taken from current headlines; you will have a hard time believing that this was written more than half a century ago. The American economy is in shambles, the government repeatedly tries to fix it with legislation that only compounds the problems, the few remaining productive sectors of the economy are villified as being "greedy," and forced to hand over all they earn for the "good of society," and successful businessmen are disappearing, leaving their once profitable companies to be looted by beaurocrats. One man's dramatic solution does indeed leave you wondering "Who is John Galt?"
Enjoy this marvelous classic! You will never look at society, government and the economy in the same light again.
"Awesome Read! Narrator is the BOMB at x3"
Brick was actually pretty dang good. Start listening at 1.25X then slowly move up to 3X (if you would like to). Brick talks slowly but probably sounds the best at 1.5X. I had full comprehension at 3X and thought it was very engaging. Have a great time listening most def worth it!
"Great political concept mixed w/human connection"
9 out of 10.. I'm not sure what ten was but it was so far above the other books I've heard, that it's way up there. They do a good job of painting a political picture of where the world is and/or can go and connects it to you personally at a human level, all while holding suspense, mystery, and excitement. The narrator does a great job of painting the picture of the each scene and individual.
Francisco was a self- motivated, 12 steps ahead individual who thought on multiple levels outside of the perverbial box. This is the way all humans should strive to be.
I don't have a favorite
Wish I could, but 60 hrs doesn't fit in one sitting..
"A Fantastic Story"
The reader made the story come alive. I don't think I would make it through reading over 1000 pages.
When Daphne crashed landed in the valley and John Gault was the first person she saw.
See the above answer.
"This was written in 1957 ???"
Engaging, relevant, & lengthy
A clever, coherent defense of the benefits of capitalism in an engaging story.
Although written in 1957, the book seems more relevant today that it probably did in 1957. Some minor social norms have changed since the 50's, but this only adds to the interest of this story.
However, be aware this is a long book. Sometimes the dialog is made up of short, rapid fire, back-and-forth conversations, but I guess that's what happens when you have 1,100 pages to fill.
Don't be fooled by the recent movie. This is a very engaging story.
"Producers live!"
Very High.
The story of Robin Hood.
He did a good job of changing tone and inflection to represent characters.
Dagny Taggerd. She's honest.
"Outstanding narration"
I would absolutely listen to this audio book a second time in order to appreciate the rich details.
The paragraph in which the title of the book was explained.
I thoroughly enjoyed his range of characters which brought the characters to life.
Extinguish the Lights
"Compelling journey with burden of repeation"
The story moves along and I wanted to hear what happens next. But the same speeches are made over and over again by different characters or in different circumstances were punishing. That it was in audio helped to make the burden easier to bear.
I went back to the introduction after listening to the book. Rand's explanation that fundamentally the book was for her and only shared with us later made the book easier to take. I don't agree with her belief in the critical importance of the creators as a narrow class but I value her book as an expression of her belief.
As an example of her time and reaction to communism/socialism the book is both valuable for that but dated when it comes to more universal prospectives.
The reader did a wonderful job, especially with scenes in which two or more speaker are talking. It oddly made me enjoy the experience just a tad more when I very occasionally questioned some part of the reading where the text described how the voice should have sounds and I questioned whether the reader got it right.
Absolutely. It was the longest book I've listened to on audible, but it's just the kind of book I want to read. If I read it on paper, it would take me forever. It only took me a few weeks this way because I was so interested in the story, and could listen to it anytime.
Dagne, because she persisted and believed so strongly in herself.
That's a hard choice, since Scott Brick is one of my favorite readers. But I think my favorite was Francisco, because his double life was so well differentiated by the reading.
Wanted to? Maybe. Possible? No way, unless you can stay up for 60 hours at a time.

- Summary: After years of reckless behavior, a heroin addiction and the destruction of her marriage, Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) makes a rash decision. Haunted by memories of her mother Bobbi (Laura Dern) and with absolutely no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail all on her own. [Fox Searchlight Pictures]… Expand
- Director: Jean-Marc Vallée
- Genre(s): Biography, Drama
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 8
Mixed: 1 out of 8
Negative: 0 out of 8
Sep 2, 2014Witherspoon is so good many will argue this is the best performance of her career.
Heartfelt and haunting, sympathetic while still aware of the limits of sympathy, Wild incorporates beautiful direction, smart writing and brave acting.
While Wild will surely be praised in the coming months for having a strong, well-written, flesh-and-blood female at its center, it's to the film's credit that it wears this badge of honor with a lightness that in no way undermines its sincerity.
Vallee's latest offering is alternately harrowing and heartbreaking, but laced with saving bursts of humor.
Vallée, in collaboration with screenwriter Nick Hornby, gives the film its energy by pulling the narrative apart. They create a two-hour hallucinatory montage of the hike and Cheryl's back story that's wound together with the songs, phrases and poetry that she recited to herself as she walked.
Witherspoon excels as a committed figure battling through each rough day. So long as the action remains on the trail, Vallée stages an engaging survivalist tale that plays up the resolve on Witherspoon's face, complemented with the rich visuals of an expansive landscape.
Wild never really earns its hard-fought struggle for redemption and personal reinvention.

Because of the war on terrorism, if you log onto the computer at the public library, Uncle Sam may be peeking over your shoulder. But why does the government care about your Internet use?
The Wichita Public Library is a place where many people come to use the computer.
But using the library computer privately may be a problem because wherever you are whatever you do under the Patriot Act, if you're suspicious, the government can check you out.
"The Patriot Act is less about terrorism then it is about giving federal law enforcement the tools they've wanted for a long time to pursue crimes of any type," said John Ellert with the Wichita Public Library.
As you can probably tell, those with the library don't agree with Uncle Sam reading over your shoulder.
So like many libraries across the country, Wichita branches have safeguards to protect their patrons.
By not keeping records of patron's use, the computer only keeps track of materials that are checked out. When they're returned, the record is destroyed, and the same thing happens with Internet use.
The library says federal law enforcement cannot come in and learn who is on a terminal at a given time. However, they can still track down some information electronically, and many people may find it a little unsettling.

|Report: Baseball teams get advance notice of drug tests
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 30 October 2007 17:09
Officials of home teams are notified in advance to leave stadium and parking passes for the testers.
Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for labor relations, and players' union general counsel Michael Weiner were quoted as saying players are not given advance notice of tests and that it was not an issue.
``This is scandalous that anyone would insert this kind of loophole in a system and not include it in the written regulations,'' John Hoberman, a doping expert, was quoted as saying. ``They are opening the door to serious doubts about the integrity of the program.''

A recent poll has found that maybe money really doesn't buy happiness. People in moderate to poor Latin American countries report the highest levels of personal satisfaction, whereas the wealthy nation of Singapore is ranked the lowest.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Americas
Keywords: Latin America, happiness, ranking, Gallup poll, misery
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Affluent European nations such as Germany and France were found to be as glum as the chaotic country of Somalia. Qatar, the richest country in the world, and Japan, where people have the longest life expectancy were not on the top 10 list of happiest countries.
The poll of nearly 150,000 people around the world found that seven of the world's 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in Latin America.
Questions posed by the Gallup Poll asked about 1,000 people in each of 148 countries if they were well-rested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment the previous day.
In Panama and Paraguay, 85 percent of those polled said yes to all five, putting those countries at the top of the list. These two countries were then closely followed by El Salvador, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Guatemala, the Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
Guatemala, a country torn by decades of civil war followed by waves of gang-driven crimes has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Guatemala sits just above Iraq on the United Nations' Human Development Index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capita income - but it ranks seventh in positive emotions.
"In Guatemala, it's a culture of friendly people who are always smiling," Luz Castillo, a 30-year-old surfing instructor says. "Despite all the problems that we're facing, we're surrounded by natural beauty that lets us get away from it all."
Not surprisingly, the poll shows that prosperous nations can also be deeply unhappy ones. Poverty-stricken countries are often awash in positivity, or at least a close approximation of it.
"Happiness economics," a relatively new and controversial field seeks to improve government performance by adding people's perceptions of their satisfaction to traditional metrics such as life expectancy, per capita income and graduation rates.
As an example, the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan famously measures policies by their impact on a concept called Gross National Happiness.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, which unites 34 of the world's most advanced countries, recently created a Better Life Index allowing the public to compare countries based on quality of life in addition to material well-being.
However - there are some experts who claim that such an approach could allow governments to use positive public perceptions as an excuse to ignore problems. The Gallup poll, some say may have been skewed by a Latin American cultural proclivity to avoid negative statements regardless of how one actually feels.
At the bottom of the list are such countries as Armenia, Georgia and Lithuania, where misery is something a little more ephemeral.
"Feeling unhappy is part of the national mentality here," Agaron Adibekian, a sociologist in the Armenian capital, Yerevan says. "Armenians like being mournful; there have been so many upheavals in the nation's history. The Americans keep their smiles on and avoid sharing their problems with others. And the Armenians feel ashamed about being successful."

I had been looking forward to reading this book for almost a year and I'm so excited to feature it here. My glowing review is below, along with some other goodies, including a giveaway. Check it out!
One more awesome book from Jo Noelle to spotlight!
Here's another intriguing book from the fabulous mother-daughter writing team Jo Noelle.
This book looks so fun, I just had to spotlight it. Don't you just love the cover?
Another great book from Pants On Fire Press. I love Craig's books, so I can't wait to get my hands on this one. It sounds like a cross between Interview With a Vampire and Twilight, yet I know (judging by Craig's previous books) it will have its own twists and distinctive style.
Son of Blood (The Secrets of Skerries) (Volume 1)
By Craig Jones
Amongst the horror, her love was his salvation.Martin is a four hundred year old vampire. Together with his son, Christian, he protects the idyllic nature of the coastal town of Skerries, for a significant cost, the blood of the strangers who outstay their welcome. Martin knows his soul is cursed and that, when the time comes, he will burn for eternity in the depths of hell but he strives to ensure that Christian will never have to take a human life and thus be reunited with his human mother in heaven. Revered, respected and feared, the town's people know little about the vampires that coexist with them except that when they are called upon, they come. This is something that the seemingly unassuming town Mayor manipulates for his own benefit. It is not until he learns of the forbidden love between Christian and his daughter and the mysterious death of one of the town's teenagers, that the Mayor and residents turn on their supernatural guardians.
Here's a cover reveal for a new book by the sweet and incredibly talented Lisa Swinton. Isn't it beautiful? (Sounds like a great story too!)
What happened in Vegas should stay there, not follow Amanda home, wedded to the man who broke her heart.
After celebrating college graduation with her friends in Las Vegas, Amanda St. Claire wakes up with a terrible hangover and a ring on her finger. Her day gets worse when she finds out she's married to rich playboy Blake Worthington---the guy she has loathed the past four years. Amanda convinces Blake to legally terminate the marriage and they both return home like nothing ever happened. That is, until Blake shows up on her doorstep and Amanda has to come clean with her family.
Together for better or worse while the legalities are cleared, Amanda reluctantly plays along, but then the unthinkable happens---she finds herself falling in love with Blake.
Can they overcome the past? Or will it end their future before it even starts?
Here's another fascinating book, which I am pleased to spotlight today. It sounds like a story in which we can all identify with at least part of. I can't wait to read this one! And what a gorgeous cover!
Book Spotlight - Hidden Power by Tracy Lane and Tales of an Alien Invader by Michelle S. Brown
Today I have two wonderful new books to spotlight, both from Pants On Fire Press. I was honored to be able to read these books prior to publication and I can vouch for their awesomeness. I want more from these two authors!

While these people's individual career lifespans are usually relatively short, the sad thing is that the scenario repeats itself ad infinitum.
It's like Nick Cage's character says in Matchstick Men. Something like, "I don't take people's money. They give it to me."
Cons require marks that are both greedy and stupid at the same time.

This is small potatoes, a rarity in the private sector. The statist state spends way too much trying to make a big deal out of small stuff like this, and we the taxpayers get hosed because of it. The really huge problem that has to be addressed is the enormous teacher salamis and pensions that are going to swamp us good, especially our grandchildren and their grandchildren. The hugely corrupt union seamen and pirates are in bed with the politicians with nothing but furthering the tsunami being created from huge teacher salamis and pensions.

When you think of the possible candidates for "Most Pirated Movie of 2012: (a dubious honor, to be sure), a few titles instantly spring to mind: 'The Avengers', 'The Dark Knight Rises', 'The Amazing Spider-Man', to name a few. But oddly enough, none of those major blockbusters top the list. No, the film that was pirated the most is one that, at this stage of the year, is something of an afterthought.

Taylor Swift
Age: 23
Occupation: Singer, Songwriter and Musician
Known For: Selling eleventymillion albums and singles, winning a boatload of Grammys and CMA awards, being all-around cultural phenomenon, and her endless string of celebrity boyfriends
Since I was a child, the only thing I ever wanted to do was write a great Christmas song, a song that would take its place next to all the holiday classics on the radio. As happens with most childhood fantasies, though, real life interrupted and set me on the road to practicality. I grew up in New York City, after all, not an easy place to make it, let alone dream.
Most of us talk to the animals. We bark at our dogs, meow at our cats, make sheep noises during the throws of passion and occasionally get the chance to talk with turkeys.
It's been about six months since Taylor Swift's Speak Now Tour wrapped after rocking cities all over the world, leaving fans ecstatic for new tunes and more performances. But now, Swift fans have more than just a new album to look forward to. As she readies 'Red' and 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' races up the charts, Swift has begun planning a 2013 tour!
Taylor Swift has a longstanding penchant for writing about her love life, and in a new interview, the young superstar says her romantic chaos played a very big role in her upcoming fourth album, 'Red.'

Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.Continued

- If you love food you will love thisBillyTDined on 10/30/2014You will love the food. Steaks are incredible. My friends had seafood and it was also amazing. Wine list has everything. Service is great. Very attentive wait staff. Free parking is a bonus if you are going to the Prudential Center or Red Bulls Soccer. Love that it is a short walk from the train station. This was my second visit and I can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Portugese Palate ParadiseBlueGVIPDined on 10/28/2014This amazing culinary gem is tucked away in the heart of the Ironbound section of Newark. A great overall experience in a relaxing, intimate dining room. The food was perfectly prepared, delectably seasoned, and portions are generous. The staff is extremely accommodating, providing service normally found in the most discriminating of restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great dinner..LulaA1ADined on 10/25/2014This is my third time coming here & new favorite place to dine in Newark. Better than the big name billboard places, you might not recognize the name, but the food and service are amazing. Chorizo Españhol & Camarão à Guilho (shrimp in garlic) were great appetizers. So far, my fav is Mariscada à Marinheira ou em Molho Verde. Good sized portions & we can't decide which is better, the red or white sangria pitchers, so get both!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You can't get this in Florida!!!Foodie4LifeVIPDined on 10/25/2014This place is always slammed with steak & seafood lovers. We flew in from Florida for our anniversary weekend, and met friends for dinner. We had an amazing evening. The food was fresh & delicious! The Parillada de Marisco was a huge platter of all types of seafood and was so delicious. I wish we had a place like this in Florida. Whenever we travel north, we make it point to stop in Newark for the best Spanish/Portuguese food around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodnjdevil1VIPDined on 10/11/2014Not only good for dinner before events at the Rock but worth the trip just for an outstanding dinner. Have never had a bad meal. All wonderfully prepared and plated. Attentive service, terrific wine list make for a great evening. And everyone there treats you like you are the only one there.Special Features:
- Nice romantic setting/great serviceJDofLVDined on 10/10/2014Food was Very Good. Ambiance and service are top notch! Free parking also a nice touch.Special Features:
- richVIPDined on 10/10/2014This is my second time here... Lots of choices on the menu... large portions, Great ambiance... Had the fish platter... took half home... Have to take my 2 kids back who want to try it as well after they saw a picture of the platter and ate the leftovers...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice placeYourBestDishplsDined on 10/3/2014I was here for a birthday dinner. We started with the garlic shrimp, it was okay, I prefer more garlic. The shrimp were cooked properly,but lacked that fresh flavor. The entree was the skewer of assorted meats, the portion for two, was generous. The meats were seasoned nicely and cooked properly. The beef could have been more tender, the turkey was tasty, the pork was more fat than meat. It was a Friday night and it was busy, the service was attentive.Special Features:
- ihhltdVIPDined on 10/2/2014Was there last night. Friendly, non-obtrusive service and huge portions of fabulous, reasonably-priced food. The best Portuguese restaurant in the Ironbound.Special Features:
- Great Food, Scattered ServiceGD1082Dined on 9/23/2014Went to Adega Grill with high expectations. Very Narrow restaurant, so big groups will be at long tables. Food was excellent, however the service was scattered. No maitre'd to great even after standing at entrance for several minutes. Waiter was inattentive and scattered, in the middle of specials and questions about menu, he just walks away to take care of another table. Tuesday night and was not busy. Coffees came 10 minutes after serving of dessert. Willing to try again because the food was excellent, but maybe because we were gringos we didn't get the service we expected.Special Features:
- Simply a perfect mealMLopezVIPDined on 9/6/2014I enjoyed the most wonderful lunch I could have ever imagined, consisting of chorizo flambé as an appetizer, ribeye with ham and egg was slightly undercooked for med-rare but I enjoyed it none the less, and a flan for dessert. Alfredo was my server, and he did not disappoint, attentive when needed, and not overbearing at all. The decor is slightly over the top, but the restaurant is very clean, which is something I always look for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FindjgarcDined on 8/30/2014Great food and good service. Great place to have drinks or dinner before a show at the rock.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic Fantastic!RevRavenousDined on 8/16/2014Recently my wife and I enjoyed dinner at Adega Grill for the first time. From the excellent service, to the beautiful and romantic grotto-like table, to the spectacular sangria, to the delicious food, everything was top notch! As the parents of two girls under two-years-old, we were overdue for a date night and we can't afford to waste our opportunities on a place that is sub par. Adega treated us like newlyweds and provided us with a much-needed and lovely evening out. You simply must give them a try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful resturantJerseygirlDined on 8/9/2014Beautiful set up.. Food was ok. Sevice was great. Very quiet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 81 reviews are from the Adega Grill reviews archive.
- Very European feeling.DebDinesDined on 7/16/2014Really enjoyed the atmosphere - it felt very European. The food was good - the filet mignon flambé was a bit over marinated, but very tasty. The stuffed mushrooms were outstanding!! As some of the other revues noted, the attitude of some of the waitstaff was very snotty, but one young man in particular helped break that feeling - he was very personable. Overall a good experience. Might try another restaurant in Newark next time, mostly because of the attitude of our waiter.Special Features:
- Wow. One of the Best!pclineVIPDined on 7/16/2014I was in from out of town and read the reviews on this place. I took a chance with an important business meeting and Adega didn't let me down. It was wonderful. The service, the food, the atmosphere...everything.Special Features:
- Live2eatLive2eatDined on 7/11/2014We ate outside on the sidewalk which was fine, so I can't really rate the ambiance or decor. It was the perfect night to eat outdoors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MinnieDined on 7/7/2014The food is good ample portions, Sangria the best. Wait staff excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A true taste of Portugal and SpainGGBShortHillsVIPDined on 7/4/2014Adega Grill is a truly authentic Portuguese / Spanish restaurant in Newark. Don't miss the paella, chourico portugues and the grilled octopus, among many of the unbelievable dishes we have had. After dinner, enjoy a night cap and cigar on their outdoor patio, while enjoying good music and fun crowds.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FbrownDined on 6/27/2014My husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner. The service and chicken in garlic sauce was juicy and fantastic. A little noisy from a small dinner party going on. Would for sure go back and eat dinner again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious & funMelFranDined on 6/8/2014Excellent food, and drink, fun and friendly atmosphere, great staff and service and a lot of fun and a great overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyBrunoDined on 5/24/2014Lovely ambience for intimate dinner or special occasion. Menu offers delicious items so there's something for everyone. Friendly staff. I would recommend to anyone, but leave young kids at home so you and other diners can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great decisionGinoVIPDined on 5/24/2014Went there Saturday night with my wife and it was wonderful! Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Ambiance and decor was rich and romantic without being gaudy. Most of all, the food was great, prepared with care and presented well. I had the steak, she had the surf/turf, both excellent and enough to bring home for another meal. Adega is a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the Ironbound section but is well worth it. The steak was $25 but enough for 2 meals = $12.50 per steak!Special Features:
- NocookingVIPDined on 5/17/2014good restaurant for a large group. we had a wonderful round table in the back room. we had an early dinner before a show and we were the only party in the room. the staff was very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Girlfriend Brunch outing for a dozGospelDined on 5/10/2014Every three months 12 girlfriends get together to enjoy eating together and then we go to a show in the downtown area. Adega Grill was recommended by one of the girls after they had attended a meeting there. I must say they were very accommodating since our party didn't arrive altogether .The food was presented beautifully and it more than delicious,each person was very satisified with my choice of venue.Special Features:
- Always a hit...AiredaleVIPDined on 5/2/2014Overall some of the best Portuguese food in the Northeast - definitely one of the best, if not the best, in NJ. Highly recommend for a quiet date night, an early dinner with the family, or a corporate event. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the portions are very generous and the overall quality of the food and the presentation makes it worthwhile.Special Features:
- Unfriendly maître de...FoodyDined on 4/27/2014Made us uncomfortable from the moment we entered the restaurant. Can not return and it's okay bc the are many excellent eatin establishments with a more pleasant environment.Special Features:
- MS27VIPDined on 4/22/2014Awesome food...and a Sangria that was very enjoyable...The portions were large my son enjoyed the steak that I brought home.Special Features:
- Always GoodBobpVIPDined on 4/20/2014Service and food are always great at this wonderful restaurant. We had a great Easter Brunch and were the only table of non Portuguese speaking diners. A real testament to the authenticity of the food and experience.Special Features:
- NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE EXCESSAxwall8Dined on 4/18/2014The food is delicious although the portions are large enough to feed a village. If you can't take home a doggie bag, it's disheartening to see so much of it go to waste. The wine list is unnecessarily expensive: lowest priced for bottles go for $35 and prices rise precipitously from there. Best bet is to buy wine by the glass or half bottles, which are relatively inexpensive ($12.50) and eminently drinkable.Special Features:
- Very good food and great serviceMattg1958Dined on 4/18/2014I was surprised it wasn't very busy on a Friday evening. The service was extremely attentive, so much so that my dinner companion complained to me about how frequently they checked up on us. I had the Salada de Verão (Mixed field greens w/ nuts, dried cranberries, gorgonzola cheese & seasonal fruit in our house dressing) and it was great. For my entre I had the Camarão Jumbo Recheado (Jumbo shrimp stuffed w/ crabmeat, served w/ crisp Spanish style potatoes, saffron rice & fresh vegetables). This was also very good. I had the flan for desert and it was disappointing - a little rubbery. The white sangria was very nice. To top it all off, I even easily found a parking spot on the street one block away.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good news, bad newsbfrank4frDined on 4/17/2014First the good: the staff was wonderful. Couldn't have been more gracious. Professional Not as quiet as we hoped for The bad - disappointed in the food. My garlic shrimp - something that so many before raved about - didn't taste garlicky and was very hard. I forgot to take the uneaten "doggy bag" home - perhaps it was Freudian. The paella my husband and son had they enjoyed - but wouldn't give it 4 stars. The wine was delicious - wish I remember the name. The oreo cheesecake was fine - but certainly not why we would choose this restaurant - and not fair to evaluate based upon this dessert.
- Fabulousnjdevil1VIPDined on 3/22/2014Probably the best in iron bound. Food, service both outstanding.Special Features:
- Great findHungryhVIPDined on 3/21/2014Beats all other "factory Portuguese" restaurants on ferry street. Food always great and best garlic shrimp and cockles ever!Special Features:
- A great ethnic restaurantMaxiDined on 3/15/2014We always enjoy te Spanish food at Adeja. The restaurant is quieter than many of the other places in the neighborhood and we lays have a great meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a delightful dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 3/8/2014What a delightful dinner! We ordered the shrimp in garlic and chorizo for appetizers. Four of us shared two orders of the seafood paella for 2. The lobster, shrimp, scallops and other seafood were fresh, sweet and succulent and beautifully presented. The red sangria was excellent as were the desserts, flan and lemon tartufo. We can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Portugal Never Tasted Better!edchrisnjDined on 3/7/2014A short walk from Newark Penn Station is one of the best restaurants in the NYC area! If you are in the mood for the total Portuguese experience; then this is THE PLACE! LARGE portions;extensive wine list includes Portuguese Table Wines! (And those in "the know" are very aware most Portuguese wines never make it across the "pond" as they are consumed throughout Europe!) Delightful, knowledgeable staff add to your total dining pleasure! You owe it to yourself to make plans to dine at Adega Grill. We will return!! Oh, and if you are on a budget;consider this: our party of 9 drank,ate,enjoyed dessert for UNDER $600!!![Special Features:
- Will go back!rgsbmsDined on 2/15/2014Food was flavorful, presented beautifully and the service was extremely attentive. Portions were large. Sangria was tasty. Parking is free and convenient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seafood fix curedPatickDined on 2/1/2014We wanted some seafood on a whim Saturday night and decided to head to the Iron Bound district. the portions were big and the sangria hit the spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I don't recommend much ...JohnbhudsonVIPDined on 2/1/2014....however, this place is off the chart. Food is amazing. Service was speculation! Need I say more?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Score from 40 reviews Very good
There is a light house at the west of the town.
Nothing much to eat around there.
The fillet of lamb was fantastic
Good location
Only can have dinner in the town nearby in weekend
Location location location! What a spot! We travelled in late October and there wasn't a sinner about! This had one issue though, no where to eat! Although we found a fast food bar in the next town. My wife is a veggie and had an issue the whole time she was in Iceland. Never wants to look at a Margarita pizza again! We were the only residents in the hotel and were given a pin code to access the building after 9pm! Staff were back for 7 and prepared us a lovely breakfast. We will be back, for the scenery, the isolation and the friendliness of the staff.
My wife found the bed uncomfortable but I had no issues.
We liked the location. It was right next to Snaefellsness glacier. A short drive and you would have been in amongst it. The hotel itself seemed to have a bit of a 'forgotten' air about it, but I guess it was September when we visited.
The fact that while we were there the weather was awful with one of our two days being foggy, windy (gale force) and we were unable to see the landscape because of the dense fog. But of course this is not the fault of the hotel!!
they took us in when we were only 1/2 room booked!
breakfast was so so.
We stayed at Hotel Hellissandur the night before we ventured into Snaefells National Park. Inside of the hotel was much nicer than expected, with great staff that will help you make reservations at the one nearby restaurant. It's worth mentioning that the hotel owns the restaurant as well, so don't be surprised when 'Hotel Helissandur' shows up twice on your credit card! Not a whole lot going on in the town (at least not in September), but it was a great location for maximizing the time we had to explore the park the next day!
Hotel is in a very small fishing village in the middle of no where, however this ended up being a great location for seeing the Snaefellness glacier, going to Hellnar and viewing the fjords. We also enjoyed hiking up to the Saxholl volcano. The breakfast was very good.
Because we were there towards the end of the season, the hotel was not staffed in the evening and there was only one other car in the parking lot. Once we arrived, we were told that the restaurant was not open for dinner and there was no where to eat at 7:00 pm except a gas station in the next town.
Hellissandur lacks the tourist focus that other places (Stykkishomur and Grundafjourdur) on the north coast of this peninsular do. Overall the whole peninsular would be a magical place to visit if the weather was good.
Only stay here if the weather is good since it is a long drive to get to it! Unfortunately we had very poor weather and could not even see Snaefellsjokull glacier even though it should have been clearly visible from the hotel. It is also a very exposed location, so when the wind gets up - hold on to your hat.
Very clean
Restaurant was not open for us, but reserved open for other guests, which was on a Saturday evening and we struggled to find anywhere to eat for the evening whilst others ate well in the restaraunt
Location was perfect for our self-driving tour. Nice view of the mountain and its ice cap.
No evening meal available during our early September visit-- had to drive into Olafsvik.
Good clean room, nice meal in Restaurant. Good Position.
The rooms are quite nice although not too spacy. Good furniture. Good resting place before going to the glacier the next day. Also good breakfast.
The restaurant was closed and there is not much choice than driving to the next village for dinner. Quite lonely location
Perfect location for visiting the national park. Friendly staff. Breakfast & room was ok. Nothing more, nothing less.
We ate at the hotel restaurant and not 30 minutes later my husband was having intensely painful stomach cramps. He threw up several times before we decided to call the front desk's "in case of emergency" number. No answer. We ended up calling 112 so we could be connected to a doctor. The next day we brought up our grievances and the staff was completely unresponsive or unapologetic. They charged us full price for their poor quality food and the room without taking any responsibility for their guests' welfare. We were very disappointed. Their actions made our stay the low point of our otherwise great trip.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean.
Breakfast was not great. Limited options and every morning we went down there were no scrambled eggs left and they were not replaced while we were eating.
Had a great stay , lovely staff. Great for walks around the beatiful area....
Excellent food Very good equation quality - price Overall good location (near national park), except that Hellisandur has not much to offer
See location Under + No kettle in the room
Excellent room and meals.
Fantastic views of mountains from the dining room windows, although just a small niggle was that they hadn't made more of the views when designing / positioning the hotel.
The location is great for the access to Snaefellsjokull, where we climb up to ca. 1000 meters.
Rather high price even considering the high season. Almost no place to eat out nearby except the hotel restaurant.
No sitting places when bar and restaurant is closed
Optik Preis
good location near to the Snaefellsjokull National Park. bright room. nice bathroom. Good restaurant and breakfast.
Air like you could only experience on an ocean liner at sea. Views of a worldfamous glacier from the dining room. Friendly and capable staff. Delicious food. Heaven. Try the lamb!
Tour buses make noise in the morning, but I have departed for North Iceland many years ago from this spot and my sympathy is with the travelers and I didn't mind.

This is my wife's favorite cake. It is a very decadent three layered uspide-downcake. She was craving some so she asked me to make it; I found a (pretty vague) recipe and tried to figure out all the missing parts. She said it tasted great how Imade it, so I'm posting it here in hopes of saving someone the agony I suffered trying to figure out what to do.
