    Simply said, this place never disappoints. Great service and even more amazing delicious food.

    Grilled salmon in a white sauce with potato and vegetable.

    Good service. Good food. Variety of drinks. Friendly staff. The menu is great. I've tried a few menu items and have yet to be disappointed. Though the food may take a little while to arrive it's definitely worth the wait, as it's cooked to order.

    Valencia paella.

    Impromptu spot for hubby and I. It was AMAZING! Service was as great. Meal was awesome and good price for portions. Drink menu was also a great value. Must do if in the neighborhood!!

    White tablecloths, bread from the bakery in Jersey, olives from Portugal. This place is legit.

    Fancy food. White tablecloth in a neighborhood I didn't expect to find that in. Authentic flavors. Recommend the fish and the pork. Probably a taste of home for Portuguese. It was almost empty at lunchtime during the week. Lots of takeout business I hear. High quality.

    Yes!

    An incredible restaurant with HUGE portions. The seafood is a must. The chorizo is a must. The steak is a must. Whatever you get will not disappoint you. Everything is done with with excellence. Make sure to end it with a cafecito (a coffee with milk). The parking will be a little tough unless you park at the PNC back off hours. The interior is nothing remarkable but the food will more than makes up for it. The service is a little slow but the waiters are incredible kind and accommodating. We had Eddy for a server and he was on point! This is a must for anyone who loves flavorful, latin cuisine.

    Clams in red sauce, The sauce is amazing !!!!!!

    Amazing Portuguese food . Place just got remodeled and looks great . You can eat upstairs or downstairs . I love the clams in red sauce well it's more like the sauce is awesome ... Lol grilled salmon fillet is so good , garlic shrimp .. If you are a seafood eater then this is the place to be . Prices are reasonable for the amount of food they give you . Parking is always a problem but it's definitely worth the time going around the block a couple of times . (;

    This place was delicious. authentic Portuguese food in the dining area upstairs. Downstairs is a full sports bar where you can also dine. We ordered the Traditional Cod and it was fresh and amazing. Portions were fairly big too! For dessert my friend ordered the espresso and said it was awesome.

    It's an traditional Portuguese cuisine...

    long time amada goer here. recently they added and changed a few things so I thought i'd give some…read moreinput. as usual the service, and ambience was impeccable. I am vegetarian, so here are my thoughts on the new items. Ensalade Verde: is the absolute best salad in the city. in the country even. absolute must get. it's big, however me and my sister still refuse to split it. definitely shareable though if you're not as greedy. Patatas Bravas: slightly different iteration than their past one. I think it's actually better. you get more potato's, more sauce, and the sauce just tastes slightly better but who knows. always ordered when we go Brussels Catalana: technically there is blue cheese in this, however, I am a certified blue cheese hater and I had no idea. so don't be turned off by that. first time having this dish and it was solid. good portion, well coated, right texture. will get again Pimientos De Pardon: shishito peppers were good, decent amount of them. I think everyone had three and we had 4 people. wouldn't get again just because there are other things more worth it but still great. Unknown Cauliflower dish: i'm not seeing it on the menu, so maybe it was just removed, but it was essentially a cauliflower gratin dish. I wouldn't get again. it was good, but lacked salt and was basically just a cauliflower in some heavy cream with a tiny amount of bread crumbs. Valenciana Paella: this has meat in it obviously, but I did eat around the pieces. if you're vegetarian and don't mind your food touching the meat, it's very easy to pick around. all the meat pieces are medium sized. This was very good, the rice was amazing, the watercress was so good. presentation was great. worth the time and money especially if you eat meat Ganache de Chocolate: pretty good. honestly interested in trying the rice pudding next. or just ordering another patatas bravas for dessert. shareable between two people. Passion fruit mocktail: MUST GET for all non drinkers! expensive? yes. worth it? yes. taste is great and it's also a nice thing to have if you're with others who drink and don't want to be left out. it's set up just like an alcoholic drink would be.

    I did a tour around Philly and decided to pop in here for happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised…read moreby how good everything was. The atmosphere is dimly lit and romantic, as I was eating alone I sat at the bar. There were plenty of seating available so that was a plus for me Service was quick and attentive Garlic shrimp: 4/5, loved it! I love the garlic flavor of shrimp which was cooked to perfection. Chicken skewers: 4/5, loved! The chicken was moist and packed with flavor. I enjoyed my meal here and my overall experience

    Fantastic! Everything we ordered was so yummy and perfectly seasoned. The service was awesome. I'm…read morestill thinking about the cabbage, it was so tender and light. Will be back for sure to try out the paella! First place I've seen do a ticket system for picking up leftovers at the end of the meal. Cool idea.

    Came for the Tasting menu experience, at the Chefs counter. Was quite happy with the visit…read more It's a nice restaurant inside, although located within a random strip mall. The parking was actually full when we arrived, possibly because of the bar using the same lot. But there is an elevated connected lot for the bowling alley that has plenty of parking. I have to say that the best thing about this place is the service: everyone was very friendly, and quick to attend us. Food was great, except maybe the flake fish (first course). Seemed more Spanish to me than Portuguese though. Portions were huge... actually had leftovers from a dish, which is the first for me from a tasting menu. The prices were reasonable In terms of why I'm giving this 4 star instead of 5: -we were seated at the "Chefs counter", but did not really have a view of the prep, which was really far away. Basically could just see the fireplace. The sister restaurant Heirloom is a much better chef's counter setup where you are seeing everything -Dishes seemed to be regular menu type dishes (just smaller portions), as opposed to super interesting types that you would expect from a tasting menu -Beverage pairing was okay... didn't really love the wines For these reasons, I'd likely return, but just stick to the regular menu/ experience.
