What an amazing traditional Portuguese restaurant. Great wine great food great service. The shrimp…read moreappetizer in the garlic peppers and herbs was spicy buttery rich deliciously amazing. The octopus grilled definitely had complex textures tender charred grilled tentacles ends. It was great entree. The ribeye was another amazing entree the size portion was fantastic. Seasoned prepared as specified. Tender fatty but not as much as you'd usually expect also it was a boneless steak yet still it was so special. It gets packed Easily but they let you enjoy yourself not a rush to get you out. Wine great food great time with friends and family wonderful city. The fish soup was brothy with a combination of different fish pieces. The lamb chop was tender grilled medium. I do wish it was as seasoned as the ribeye but it was well worth it. The price point for 5 entrees will have you thinking it's not possible. They have fresh fish layed out as you enter.

We had an amazing meal here. Hubby wanted to share the Cataplana but I had my heart set on a…read moreskewer. He ended up sharing with a friend and I have to say that though my skewer was good the cataplana was outstanding! For those familiar with San Francisco cioppino, it is kind of like that, a fish stew. This was full of both shellfish and filets of fish. The flavor of the broth was one of the best we have had since dining in Portugal. We like it so much we were spooning it out and onto our slices of bread! For my main course I had the calamari and shrimp skewer. It came with fries and a salad. It was really good as well but I had to ask for some lemon to brighten up the flavor. They were more than happy to accommodate the request. Back to the starters though. We had some bread, olives, butter, sardine pate and an order of clams. Most speak for themselves but you can skip the sardine pate, it is just small pre-packaged tins of it, not home made. The clams though were really really good! Definitely get an order if you like clams. We loved our service. Everyone was friendly, eager to please and helpful. They assisted us in picking out a terrific bottle of wine and what to order. They didn't misguide us at all!

House white was good and very similar to a dry Riesling. My mom loved her house rose. -I ordered the spaghetti bolognese for dinner. The pasta was cooked really well and the sauce was pretty good, wish it had more meat in it. I would try something different if I went again. -My mom got the linguini Michelangelo which she loved; prawns were cooked great. The service started off incredible. The entire waitstaff was very attentive to us and all took turns helping each table, however after it got busy we were kind of forgotten about. We had declined dessert and finished our meals and glasses and we just sat there for 20 minutes waiting for the check. Finally we got a servers attention and asked for it but she made us wait another 15 minutes while she bussed a 10-top table. I feel like she could have just quickly gotten our check to get us out of there since we had already been waiting so long but we finally could leave after about 30 minutes of sitting there with not even water.

Served with compound "jamon butter" and "chorizo butter"!!! and with exceptionally good olives. There was no need to go any further, but we did.

The service was perfect. We ate outside and there happened to be a nice band playing down the road. Made for an exceptional evening! The chef came out for a nice conversation at the end. Highly recommended!!!
