Food and service was excellent. We ordered a bunch of appetizers that were delicious. I ordered the boneless rib eye which was cooked to a perfect medium, nice and juicy. My other guess had twin stuffed lobster tails, stuffed salmon and stuffed flounder. Crab meat stuffing was good but definitely needs more crab meat. I would definitely go back.

Absolutely enjoyed the food here. Make reservations!!! Service was good but I could tell they definitely were overwhelmed because they were jammed packed. Ordered an appetizer and never received it and had 2 waiters come to take our orders. It took a while to get the food but when we did it was amazing and tbh we didn’t mind the wait because drinks were amazing and it was date night so we were enjoying each other’s company. Will definitely be back

Well everyone this restaurant is by far a diamond in the rough of the American jungle of fast junk food (cancer).
This beautiful environment has brought me to believe again.
My taxi shuttle driver told me to order from them. Absolutely delicious as I smiled from earlier to ear.
The first day I ordered cod meat pies also I ordered ribs beef ribs and grilled chicken sauteed at that a beautiful house salad fresh rolls housemaid 6 l of water imported then on my second day.
I just remembered that I didn't get my chicken wings they gave that to me and no charge so I ordered an extra order of chicken wings and a second day of carrot cake which I had a sirloin steak medium weld pickled vegetables that were amazing extremely amazing and roasted potatoes that were extremely amazing as well let me tell you it was an affair to remember it felt like a relationship that should never end.
So treat yourself to this beautiful restaurant take out or eat in and the staff was amazing beautiful over the phone the second time around apologetic also the delivery people extremely humble extremely caring it just made you want to hug these people do yourself some justice and spend some serious money at this business is Portuguese and I've never had Portuguese food God bless these people.
I will be more adventurous from now on ☺️💋

A very beautiful place. Good food and drinks, lovely dessert! The bar was busy but it was accessible from the main dining room, so people could sit at the bar to order or get drinks to their tables. The appetizers were excellent and abundant. They have a lot of fish and seafood options! Only 4 options to order on the vegetarian section of the menu though, so if that is a concern for you be warned. A member of our party also tried the house special that has your meat entree come to the table on a hot stone for cooking. Interesting! The serving size of entrees is large, most options seem to come with chips and rice, on top of any starch or carb your order already contains (like pasta!) Absolutely hard to finish all of your food, makes a great take home bag haha 😋

Lovely Portuguese restaurant with very authentic vibes. Food was great and the portion sizes were unbelievable! We each ordered steak which came with TWO filets, rice, and had cut potato chips. Great service, and the dessert menu was the most impressive I have ever seen! We got the limoncello flute for dessert and it was delicious!

Valencia in Elizabeth is honestly absolutely amazing really love their food the steak on the stone is one of the family favorites call their food is portioned and price correctly The restaurant has restaurant seating and bar seating services always extremely good the only complaint that I would have is there sangria pitchers are kind of small for the price.. other than that highly recommended definitely serves a five star review

If you are looking for good seafood then this is the spot. I came here with a large group and we had a great time here overall. The service was good, the appetizers were great, and the restaurant was clean. The only reason I am taking a star off is because I ordered the Surf n Turf and the steak was a pretty big let down, it was grey, overcooked, and had no crust at all. For the price of the dish I would expect them to be able to cook a good medium rare steak. I highly recommend the grilled octopus as a entree and the white asparagus with shrimp and cheese as an appetizer.

Food is very amazing, full of flavor and delicious from the first bite to the last. It is quite load inside as well. My only criticism is that they load up on the carbs; my meat dish only had like one piece of chicken cut into small pieces but enough potatoes for a family of 5. The Sangaria was also very good and dessert was out of this world. It also wasn't crazy expensive for what you get.
