Had I been asked if I wanted another Super Bock at anytime in the last half hour of waiting, I would have been able to ask that they check on my food. Not that I should remind anyone how to do their jobs. Then the minor disappointment. For all that wait, all the customers rolling in, all the nice atmosphere, the food was just good but not great. The best outcome was lots of leftovers for entrees priced on the higher side for Portuguese food.

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party. There is lots of space in the restaurant with different rooms. One room seemed specifically set up for large parties whereas another room was set up like a typical restaurant. Our party was able to relax and enjoy ourselves without ever feeling any time pressures from the staff. It was quite an enjoyable experience.

Not even sure it was on the menu then or now, but they still made it for me, and this dish can't be had anywhere these days. I looked for it all over, even in Barcelona, and although I found Octopus, none of it was like this; the oil, the crispy pulpo with the garlic, is just a great place to start.

When a customer is served food that is clearly unacceptable, I would expect management to take the situation seriously, check on the customer, apologize, and make an effort to correct it.

I expected much more from this restaurant.

The ambiance was quiet, but it was a Wednesday night. But for the food. Both were disappointed in the main entrees. The soups they ordered were lobster bisque and the soup de jour. The lobster bisque was delicious, but it had very few pieces of lobster. My husband's friend said, "I had the soup of the day. It was vegetables with some pasta." His only opinion was Main entrees. My husband had Crab Stuffed Flounder (Filetes Recheados), basically stuffed fish with crab, but my husband had to ask what kind of fish because the menu simply stated stuffed fish fillets w/ crab meat. It wasn't lump crab meat but a pasty mixture of crab. For the price, he expected to have all crab meat. $33.00 His friend got the Arroz de Camarão, aka shrimp with yellow rice. There was a lot of rice and barely any shrimp. $30.00. Overall, the food was disappointing, especially given the prices, but the service and atmosphere were nice.

They also brought out three different types of bread with butter and olives while I waited, which was a nice touch. The restaurant itself was very clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating available. My server was friendly, attentive, and the service was very fast. My only downside was the pricing. Even the lunch specials felt a bit expensive, and I wish there were more budget-friendly options overall. Aside from that, I had a great experience and would definitely consider coming back with family. :-)

A pleasant group outing in the Ironbound with a few notable findings…read more * This place is upscale, but in the middle of nowhere, relatively speaking. There are residences adjacent, industry across the street, and nothing screams "upscale" about the neighborhood. * There are no small portions, and there are no small prices. You will pay a lot here. You will get a lot, and it will be good, but be ready. Our arrival was leisurely, to say the least. We were seated promptly and served olives, followed by the rustic bread they are paired with, and then oil to paint the bread. These should all have come out together. The bread came in three varieties: soft fresh sourdough, wheat, and slices that were rather sweet. And any time the bread was finished, more bread came out. But for some reason, the menus did not. It took an unusually long time for the menus - meanwhile, the drink menus were on the table the moment we sat down... And then when we were not quite ready to order, they left us alone for a long time before we motioned for them to get our order. And then it took a long time for food to arrive, though with 12 people that's understandable. At the best restaurants, they'll get a few waiters to bring all 12 dishes at once. Ours arrived a few at a time, but at least in succession so that no one person (me being last) waited for minutes beyond the others. I had the grilled octopus special. It was very tasty, cooked well, with a great grilled flavor but rather over-oiled. Others got gigantic paellas and every one of them took at least half home to go. For those prices, you'd better get at least two meals out of it! * So, the last and most notable finding: Beware of deceit. We ordered two sangria pitchers. They asked for our third one, but then just brought a fourth to the table and started refilling glasses without even asking anyone. I do not believe that was comped, but that's not my department. They asked if people wanted water, and then started filling our water glasses with artisan bottled water. They were happy to keep our water refilled, and I guarantee those were also on our bill. Verdict: You have three choices. Either arrive here with someone who will stay sober and mindful of what is being brought to the table; arrive here as a group with cost-no-object and drink, enjoy, pay whatever they charge you; or skip. Because getting food to-go here seems to miss the point of the atmosphere and the experience. I was in the second of the three choices, and I'm capable of the first, but I won't blame you for choosing to go elsewhere and get Portuguese food at a fairer value.
