Been dying to try this new place in Naugatuck since it changed owners from the old Milestone and my daughter and I were not disappointed! The decor is mostly unchanged, which I was so happy about because it's a beautiful building with eclectic open brick walls and hangings. The food is described as Portuguese/Brazilian but is definitely a little upscale with light crispy - rather than heavy - empanadas for appetizer and this unique white sauce with a touch of chicken with the bread basket - we asked to wrap our remaining bread and a little extra of this sauce and they sent us home with extra bread and a glass dish (!!) of the dip/spread! The chicken in lemon cream sauce was outstanding with the chicken as the majority of the dish and the sauce definitely the star! The pasta Alfredo was fresh, and perfectly sticking to the spaghetti! Our server was amazing! Sweet, attentive and on point throughout as was the bar staff. We'll definitely be back and so excited that this is so close to home!

A Great new addition to Naugatuck. The food was very good, our server (Vinnie) was very friendly and attentive. Love the atmosphere, they haven't changed the interior and eclectic brickwork is still something to talk about. Can't wait to try the outdoor patio in the spring.

Last month, on a Saturday, my husband and I were craving Portuguese food. Our all-time favorite…read morePortuguese restaurant, which was located in Waterbury, is now permanently closed. We decided to drive to Danbury for dinner after reviewing the Portuguese Cultural Center's menu online. We arrived shortly after 7 pm and were the only ones there. A few more people arrived later on. The place is very big and has no ambiance or charm whatsoever. It lacked the warm hospitality and welcoming staff we've always found at other Portuguese restaurants we've visited over the years. The food was good. As soon as we sat down, we were given a bowl of marinated olives - they were delicious- and Portuguese bread. I ordered "Bife a Portuguesa". My husband ordered some kind of cod fish. We both liked the food. The flan I ordered for dessert was acceptable but the caramel sauce was unusually watery and it had an overwhelming cinnamon flavor. The service was adequate. The place was very clean and spacious. We will go back, not because we loved it but because we like Portuguese cuisine.

Everything here was delicious. The service was fast, the place was the cleanliest restaurant i've…read morebeen in, and the staff was nice accommodating. I loved how fresh and soft the bread was - the freshest and best rolls i've had in my entire life. The espresso here are unmatchable compared to any other i've had. I will without a doubt be back here for my Portuguese food fix.

Nice location and staff but spotty food…read more Came here on recommendation by a friend. Made the trek out to try some authentic Portuguese food. They were prepping for a big event when we came, so they were a bit distracted when we came in. They offered us seating at the patio or the bar and we opted for outside. Our server for the nice was very nice but clearly stretched thin. She tried to check in frequently but ended up only really dropping by a few times through the night. We get a gambit of items. The garlic steak bites, the mussels with chorizo, the picaha and get the saffron rice and salad as our sides. Food comes out quickly, along with some bread for the table. Very crunchy bread, butter was cold but easy enough to massage to make spreadable. The steak bites and mussels came out first. The mussels were cooked, but the dish was really lacking flavor. You got chicken stock, the smokiness of the chorizo, and the veggies. That's all the flavor you got though, no real seasoning and very basic flavors. It really needed salt. The steak bites were pretty good. Kind of a little open faced Philly cheesesteak crostini, but with untoasted bread. Flavors were solid but also lacking seasoning. Then we got our entree, and the thought was there but it was very much lacking. Meat was unseasoned, overcooked (probably because they threw a cooked steak onto a sizzle plate which took it right over the edge of done) but it did have a wonderful charcoal bitterness which was a welcome choice. Instead of asking for a new one (steak was tender, just well done) we asked for a sauce. They took 5 minutes to make a scratch sauce for us. A mushroom type gravy, which was the highlight of the meal. All the flavor that was missing from the other dishes brought to the forefront, with a strong emphasis on salt and acid to really pop the flavors of the meat. I really enjoyed the sauce. It showed that the kitchen can put out good food, it just was too focused on the event to put up a good showing. It was a shame, but it's good enough to try again some day. Pricing was reasonable for the quality, it's possible to get a good meal here, but your experience can vary.

This was our group's annual trip to celebrate end of school year and our favorite Portuguese…read morefriend's birthday. A few disappointments including no clams or calamari for seafood mix or clam and sausage appetizer. The two soups were the highlight as well as our beloved chorizo. The mussels were not as flavorful as I recall although portion was ample. Overall, a predictable meal with no culinary surprises. O
