    Hello , went for lunch, the calamari was great, they keep all the items and sauce separate so you can mix as you like! home made house fries like a potato chip are a must. But it's all bout the Mozambique sauce!!! As in shrimp Mozambique, the best!

    The little necks were good I had to try them and I have no complaints at all. Kat was our waitress and she is very good at her job. I must say she provides excellent service and makes sure you have everything you need no matter how busy they are. This is a very laid back casual ambiance setting nice atmosphere.

    Lobster fisherman's platter with scallops, shrimp, clams and rice

    always an amazing meal here. portions are enormous and delicious. I had the fisherman's platter that came with giant lobster tail and claws, scallops, shrimp and little neck clams served with seafood rice we had oysters and calamari for apps and she kept refilling the bread basket with delicious rolls and mozambique sauce. our server was very friendly but not the best. we gave her the one children's order first but she served everyone else and brought his last. waited an incredibly long time for the apps to be served and meals came shortly after that it's a great family place that also has outside seating would definitely recommend

    Food was so greasy we couldn't even eat it. Worst fish and chips we have ever had. $100 for 3 meals and we threw it all away.

    Do they still have the eggplant parm?

    Does anyone know what the dipping sauce that comes with the bread is? It really is amazing and I was wonder if I could find a recipe online or buy it. Thanks in advance!

    Yes, it's called "Faials sauce".. It's from the owners last restaurant that used to be in North Smithfield, RI, called Faials. Not sure of the recipe or if there is one online, only that the owner knows it and holds it in high esteem. So you can try…

    I'm Portuguese and trust me I've had good Portuguese food but this food was the best thing I've…read moreever tasted. The meal I got was Portuguese steak , rice ,and fries. The steak was cooked perfect and very juicy. The fries were soaked in the garlicky sauce and it tasted amazing. The rice was also covered with the sauce and tasted perfect. The service is very kind and welcoming. The ambiance is beautiful it really reminded me of Portugal. If you want to g to a Portuguese restaurant come here.

We came in on a Friday night, party of two, and were seated right away, no wait at all. The complimentary bread and molho cru dip set the tone early and did not disappoint -- simple but delicious, and a great start to the meal. We also ordered the steamers in white wine sauce as an appetizer, and they were fantastic -- briny, well-balanced, and perfect for soaking up with the bread. For my entree I got the bife a casa, and the steak itself was cooked exactly to temperature -- really well done there. The rice and fries on the side were solid too. My one real complaint was the sauce: there was way too much of it, to the point where it soaked into the fries and made them soggy, and it was just overpoweringly salty. I don't usually shy away from salty food, but this was a lot even for me, and it took away from what was otherwise a great piece of steak. Overall a charming spot with genuinely good food and service -- I'd just ask for the sauce on the side next time. Would still come back for the steamers alone.

The restaurant was immaculate & our server was friendly & efficient, although she didn't speak much English so couldn't answer some questions I had. Upon seating, we were immediately brought a basket of warm bread & butter. I ordered a glass of Sutter Home Pinot Grigio ($6) but found out when the bill arrived that I had been served a Josh Pinot Grigio ($10). I much prefer Josh so no problem there. We also asked for water... make sure you ask for tap water, otherwise you will be brought glasses of ice and bottled water ($2.50). My dining companion ordered the Shrimp Mozambique with white rice & mixed veggies ($24), which she found spicy & delicious. The shrimp were huge! I ordered the grilled Cornish hen with mashed potatoes & salad ($18). The potatoes were a little salty for my taste, but the salad was crisp, cold and beautifully presented with a flavorful Italian dressing on the side. The Cornish hen was perfectly cooked with a mild red sauce; unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out what it was, but it was so good. There is a tiny parking lot on one side of the building, as well as street parking. I'll definitely be back.
