Robalo Grelhado

Small family run restaurant down the street from the Portuguese club. Quiet family friendly sitting area, hostess and waiters were pleasant and friendly. Food was delicious and well prepared, recommend the octopus and the short ribs. Parking is limited but easy to find on the street. Definitely will be returning

Lunch time at its finest

I love this place, it's truly my home away from home for food. I come in either with a group or Hans solo and I get treated like royalty. Not much more I can ask for honestly! I highly recommend!

Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh and authentic. My husband and I shared a Clams Bolhão Pato as an appetizer. It was excellent. I ordered the shrimp angola as a main course and asked that it not be spicy. It wasn't spicy. It was fravorful and perfectly seasoned. My husband had the Codfish Avenue style and loved it. The dessert, a Maria cookie cake, was more than delicious. It was divine. I can't wait to have it again. The staff was welcoming and attentive. I look forward to our next visit.

Vino & on the house marinated olives.

Enjoyed a long lunch at the Avenue Bar & Grill recently & was very happy with both the service & food. For many years my go to for Portuguese food has always been O'Manel's or SolMar in Bridgeport- particularly for their traditionally prepared fresh fish, salted cod dishes, clams & shellfish. Avenue's menu was similar. A nice little bowl of marinated black & green olives, gently seasoned by fresh rosemary & accompanied by warm out of the oven rolls got us started. My companion & I split the Portuguese style braised little neck clams with smokey chorizo sausage & a plate of slightly spicy grilled Shrimp in a garlicky sauce, then moved on to Portuguese style petite sirloin steak & egg served with delicious sliced fried potatoes & surprise - a simple rabbit stew on the bone with rice & steamed veggies. The rabbit portion was generous & meaty but a tad bit over cooked. We finished with excellent coffee, Portuguese brandy & an authentic & very rich egg custard flan in a light caramel sauce. Avenue is set up like most Connecticut Portuguese restaurants with a busy casual tavern on one side & a very nice dining room on the other. Our servers were helpful & took very good care of us through out our meal refilling our bread basket multiple times, always with a smile. I highly recommend Avenue for well turned out traditional Portuguese fare. Parking can be tight in the restaurant's small lot but limited street parking is available on an adjacent street. This street is on a steep hill.

Steak on the Rock

Why aren't people talking about this place more!!! We came here with friends and both had the most delicious meal! My husband had the steak on a rock and said it melted in his mouth. The chicken marsala was so tender and the sauce and mushrooms were extremely flavorful. We had a variety of appetizers that I unfortunately did not get photos of. Each one was fabulous! We will be back for sure!

W the owners kid be cookin tho w food. Bread taste good also it lowkey tastes like Jesus crist made it.

Portuguese dobrada and amazing cod dish.. this tasted exactly like mom used to make.
Paul A.

Avenue bar has amazing Portuguese food right here in Connecticut. Being close to many Portuguese communities I've had my fair share of some yummy Portuguese food, Avenue does not disappoint! Food is very good and tastes just like momma used to make, with a home cooking flair. The staff is very friendly professional and courteous, with a great ambiance both in the dining room or bar area, you always feel like family at avenue.

What an awesome time we had at Black Hog !…read more The place is very big with lots of seating options inside and outside. The Caseus Cheese Truck was up front and what goes better than a cold beer and a hot melty grilled cheese? They had a lot of beers on tap, plus plenty of six pack can choices https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/black-hog-brewing-oxford?select=RGCK9MqCPn8MCHgeNHtcyg , and of course growlers to buy or fill. The staff was super friendly, and I loved the chill vibe all over the place. They were pretty busy yesterday, being the first really nice day of the year combined with their ''Fifth Annual Saison Day''. Black Hog offered up their own Saisons plus quite a bit of guest choices from Allagash, Two Roads, Kent Falls, and New England Brewing. I enjoyed a nice glass of Black Hog's Barrel Aged Biere De Hog (Red Wine Barrel Aged, ever so lightly soured with a yogurt lacto culture. Bright, sweet, and complex. Bottle and keg conditioned -8% ABV). It was very drinkable with a definite sweet overtone. I also picked up a six pack of their Coffee Milk Stout for ten bucks. For draft variety, can variety, customer service, sweet vibe, comfortable seating options. and just about anything you look for at a brewery, you will find it here. Five stars easy

Once again, a good evening at Black Hog enjoying beers and trivia. Staff are always super nice…read more 900 degree pizza truck.

Everything is always fantastic. Can't recommend their food and drinks enough. Staff is also greatread more

Food quality / price (value) rating 9.5. The atmosphere is cozy and dark. I would classify this…read moreplace as a rare "hidden gem". They have a dining room that seats about 50, and a bar that seats around eight. They also have a very cute outdoor seating area covered by a large awning. The menu is Continental cuisine leaning toward Italian, and is very well balanced where everyone should he able to find a satisfying meal. Our experience began with a couple of very unique "East Side Martinis", vodka, cucumber, muddled mint and lime.....so good I had to have a second one! We were then treated (gratis) to the absolutely best bruschetta I've ever eaten.....loaded with chopped tomato, onion, and garlic. Fantastico! For an entree I had the Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin Medallions with mashed potatoes and braised cabbage. A perfect melding of complimentary flavors. This restaurant clearly has no issues with making very flavorful choices when it comes to spices and accents. The wife had the Chicken Special with fettuccine and lemon butter white wine sauce that was also very flavorful and excellent. Everything was so good that we had to get dessert, a slice of Almond Joy pie to go. The owner, Sue, a baker / chef, is typically in attendance, and has heen running the restaurant for ten years now. Our server, Jen, was attentive and experienced. They have a Happy Hour on Monday through Friday 3 to 6 pm. I'd highly recommend this place for everyone! UPDATE: Ate the Almond Joy pie the next day. The crushed almond & chocolate crust was incredible, and the chocolate glazed coconut was delicious.

Decided to give Don Raphael a try and was pleasantly surprised!…read moreThe business relocated to Naughatuck about 4 months ago. The staff and owner were delightful ! The food is authentic Brazilian. And not to mention....delcious ! We had the beef and the cheese empanada, Bobo de Camarao, and the Frango a Cavalo. The owner Marcia , Sara and Marcio are warm and friendly. They make you feel at home. Give this place a try !!!

Much like the other reviews we had been waiting for a chance to come here and this was our night…read more It was a week night and all was silent, not a creature was stirring, probably just mice. Anywho, there was not one customer in the upstairs dining room when we were seated which means that we got all the attention! Well, the staff were pleasant and attentive. I saw a Portuguese rooster statue in the dining room, that was about all the culture I got out of it. The fish and chips were good, fresh and tasty. I ordered the cal-do verde, which if you don't know is supposed to be a clear potato based soup, with some kale in it. Well, I'm going to chalk it up to having a different spin on it. It had a thick consistency and it was a little on the spicy side. I didn't mind it so much, it tasted good to me, but my wife was expecting the "Portuguese style". Moving onto the main course. My wife ordered a grilled chicken dish that had definitely been microwaved. There was no flavor and a waste of money for us. My dish was a beef brisket. It was pretty dry tbh and not enjoyable. You all have a lot of work to do, in the realm of quality. People aren't going to keep coming back if the food sucks. Please do better. There aren't many options in Naugy, and if you don't step up your game, I don't see you lasting through 2026. Sorry.
