I went in for dinner 630-7ish pm. The food was good, the vibe was great. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Parking here doesn’t really exist so you will have to find street parking nearby. Beautiful place. I like that the servers let you enjoy your meal and company without coming over every two seconds to ask if everything is fine. However you will have to flag them down to come over to you when you need them which i personally liked. Meals at dinner time will run you $20-50. They have many TVs to watch sports while you drink/eat. Very clean. Family friendly environment, but also a really nice date spot too. I hope you enjoy your visit there just as well as I did.

Sometimes service is so-so, other times it is impeccable. My last visit was very lovely, with my food brought out quickly and the attention to our table at a regular level. The food was very delicious, especially the small shrimp and codfish appetizers I got. The combo was also very good, a perfect portion to share with another. My only complaint is that the ribs were a tad tough, but aside from that, I loved the seasoning and flavor of all!

Great local place near our hotel. Generous portions and moderate prices. Service was friendly. Never felt rushed. Laid back atmosphere.

I’ve been visiting this incredible Portuguese restaurant since my college days, and it has truly become a cherished part of my life. Even though I’ve never been to Portugal, dining here has made it a top destination on my bucket list! The food is nothing short of exceptional. Back when I ate meat, I couldn’t resist their delicious sausage and perfectly cooked steak served with rice and beans—truly a meal to remember. Everything is always made fresh, which means it might take a bit longer, but that’s a small price to pay for such quality. The wait staff is consistently friendly, making each visit feel welcoming and warm. The ambiance radiates authenticity, and I love the vibrant atmosphere that captures the essence of Portuguese culture. I have so many wonderful memories tied to this pla

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Will Nieves · Oct 2025

I ordered Salmon Frites with broccoli rabe and broccoli via Uber Eats. Broccoli rabe is an extra $4 and the broccoli is an extra $3. The restaurant got my order wrong by adding potatoes, which is a free item and they took up half the space of the tray. All they had to do was fill up the tray with broccoli rabe and broccoli. It’s not too complicated. The salmon looked careless and butchered. Unfortunate lunch today.
