Great Portuguese seafood - grilled octopus was crispy and flavorful without being rubbery which is a challenge. The meat croquette was rich and the codfish were a bit starchy but tasty. The fried calamari had some pickles on the plate which were a nice contrast to the crunchy rings. Finally the “dry stew” made with mixed seafood and bread pieces was very savory and served as a lunch the next day. Free parking in a crowded neighborhood makes this an easy recommendation.
Traditional Portuguese food with a traditional ambience. I would recommend going but careful as portions are very large. One will feed two people easily
Good food and great, professional service. Tip is included in the bill. Recommend!
Probably the best sardines and salmon I have eaten anywhere. Cash only and gratuities are not included on a handwritten bill. Dining room is crowded and noisy. Prices are higher than many Portuguese restaurants-in area. Probably returning for other items now that I’m aware Might sit at bar area where food is also served.
Good portuguese restaurant with a variety of fresh sea food platters. The quality of the platters went slightly down after covid. Nonetheless, it is still one of the best places to enjoy a fresh large meal. The waiters are very friendly and will make your experience unique. Careful and attentive to all details, the waiters will have nothing miss from your table. The salmon steak and the halibut fish are one of a kind at this place. Try at least one of them, or both if you are very hungry. The portions are large.
The cataplana (lobster, calamari, clams, shrimp, abalone, mussels in red sauce) was fantastic. The appetizer of clams in garlic sauce had too-large clams which was not that great but had good flavor. Red sangria went down smooth. Our waiter, Oleksander, was attentive and pleasant, and even went out of his way to look after our dog by giving her plenty of water (we sat outside).
ALERT -- they are not opened till noon (despite what is written on their website and listed by Google maps). And they take credit cards.
Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Be aware that each plate serves 2 people.
