    This restaurant is actually huge- we didn't know how big it was j til we got there. There's two sections- one for a larger crowds and families and one in a more intimate area. We sat in the intimate area but both areas had good music and waiters serving. The wait for the food took longer than we expected but I got a frozen margarita while we were waiting which was good. The lamb chops were delicious as well!

    Lagar is a must visit! Drink were way bigger then we expected. Which only means it is worth every penny. We did tapas as we were there to vent and release some stress. The baked clams were delicious and served a good amount. The croquettes were a little more batter then I expected. We also had the fried fish which was great. I wish there were a bit more selections of items not fried on the menu. Potatoes you could never go wrong with. I would come Back to try entrees in the Future. The service was attentive without being over bearing and the staff was friendly. You are able to park in the municipal lot and if Not there is street parking on the residential streets

    Lagar is a nice restaurant with lots of space for private parties, a bar and enclosed patio. During this time of the year it was a pretty chill atmosphere but I can imagine it being a hot spot in the warmer months. They offer happy hour drinks daily but happy hour food specials are only on specific days. I had a mojito that was on special and later enjoyed the house margarita both were good. The shrimp and seafood risotto were the star of my dining experience. Our server was very attentive and offered great suggestions. Overall nice experience and would go back.

    The wait staff was great! We did order the salmon and it was filled with bones. The decor is nice. The live music was a plus. We enjoyed our time here and I would go back to try other things. The happy menu is limited as well which is what we came for initially. Parking is on the street or a little lot next door.

    Great ambience, great vibes, great service! The food was good as well. I had a steak which was delicious. It was charred to perfection and the seasoning was top tier. The steak was so big it took me two days to finish the rest. My only complaint with this place is the drinks. The food was honestly so delicious that all you needed was water. I ordered a lemon drop and it was probably the worst drink I've had at an establishment.

    Everything is really good. There's a new chef in town. The menu has new offerings, we have tried a few of the new dishes. Everything was superb. It is our go to happy hour place to wind down after a long week. The decorations are so pretty stop in for happy hour have a sangria and and some delicious food. Definitely lots of photo ops PS be sure to read the small print on the bottom. There is a 15% service charge. It is noted on the bottom of every menu page.

    The patio area here is so cute! I'm not sure what they do in the winter because they don't have much seating inside, but it was perfect for dinner on a September weekend. They even had live music which truthfully, was a bit loud at times for us to hear each other, but at least he was singing good music. Service was great - some of my party came late and I switched out the sides for my entree and they didn't make a fuss. The food presentation here is definitely thoughtful. My chicken and shrimp in sauce entree was soooo good. My friend ordered the sirloin on a skewer dish because it looked amazing, but honestly the steak was tough as old boots. All show for that one. Drinks were good - we liked the sangria pitcher options. But note... the espresso martini is STRONG. You better call that Uber after.

    Came here for an event and the space was beautiful. The decor and the overall aestheti was honestly all that I could ask for for any special events or even a casual date. I was not overall impressed by the food but it was good. Servers were pretty attentive as well.

My white sangria was refreshing! Staff attentive. Our Server Joel N was great! Thank you Reservations were for the indoor dining area! Opted to sit in the outdoor dining area! Glad we did! Live music!! We ordered two desserts! Chocolate mousse and serradura- Niether was good Mouse was grainy Will come back, pick other deserts though Parking lot across the street.

    Great vibes all around the restaurant. The staff and servers are very prompt to service your table and continue to check on you throughout the meal. The complimentary olives already come garnished with red pepper flakes.

    Large venue with a small interior bar area, which has a few table & chairs, & high top chairs. Then there is the outdoor portion, which is within an enclosed tent like structure. Service was moderate paced, not fast, but not too slow. The venue does not have its own parking lot, but there is free street parking around the venue. The interior feels like pretty much every Portuguese bar I've been to, and the the outdoor seating area feels like every semi-structured outdoor venue I've ever been to. We had the Bolinhos de Marisco, Camarão Recheado, Camarão Tigre à Mocambique, Lamb Chops, Lobster Ravioli, Truffled Fries, Classic Margarita, Passionfruit Margarita, French Margarita, & Snowflake Martini. The descriptions for some of the dishes in English is in the "grades" section below. I don't know how I forgot to take a pic of the Lobster Ravioli, considering that was MY dish, but I truly did, lol. You get complimentary bread & butter. The bread was very good & served warm. You also get complimentary olives. You DO have to ask for water though. It is not given automatically, as with most places. Overall, I'd happily eat here again, but I wouldn't rush to go back, nor make it a suggestion in a group setting. Grades: Bolinhos de Marisco (Crab & Shrimp Croquettes): A Camarão Recheado (Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp): B+ Camarão Tigre à Mocambique (Pan-Seared Tiger Shrimp): B+ Lamb Chops: B- Lobster Ravioli: A Truffled Fries: B Classic Margarita: D Passionfruit Margarita: A+ French Margarita: A+ Snowflake Martini: A+

    Really cute ambiance and friendly service. However, everything took soooo long. There was a long wait for drinks, then an exceptionally long wait to place our food order. And an even longer wait for the food. It appeared that they were waiting to bring everyone's food together, which was cool, but once it was brought out, 2 people didn't have their food. So we all waited another 15mins or so, so that we could eat together. We had a table of 15, so some of the wait was understandable, but our single server solely brought out our food, 3 plates at a time. There were other staff milling about, so not sure why no one else pitched in. Everyone mostly enjoyed their food, but agreed it wasn't worth the wait. My halibut was overcooked, dry, and lacked seasoning. My potatoes and spinach were good though. Lack of seasoning was a theme for almost everyone. We brought a cake and they sliced and served it without charging a cake cutting fee, which was really nice. Overall, they were very accommodating to our large party which was very appreciated. However I probably wouldn't return for a large gathering. 6/10

    This is the second time I've been here. Saw it on a reel but the first time I stopped by on way home from an event and was hungry. That day I had the garlic shrimp, which was tasty but could use a bit of pepper. The service was great. Today, again hunger assaulted me and I felt for something different. I stopped here again to give them a real solid review. I ordered the sangria, shrimp & crab coquettes and the grilled salmon with mash potatoes as my entree. The sangria is refreshing and the coquettes were quite good. Different and was hitting the spot. Again, service is very good. Patient, attentive, and kind. There were a few patrons but the lowkey atmosphere and vibe was perfect for a bite on a Monday evening.

    Aptly located on a corner of Stuyvesant Avenue near the restaurant district of Union.

    It's that time again! When it's Hubs' birthday, we gather the boys and have a feast of meat. Just…read moredays before, my friend sent me the picture I posted from us 10 years ago when we started the tradition. The meats hit the same. I still get the mixed kebab because the all you can eat is way too much for me. Don't sleep on the collard greens. I would order an extra serving so you can mix them with eggs in the morning. Did we wait an hour for our table? Yes, but it was well worth it. There was a spot at the bar where we can chill and all catch up with the peeps we hadn't seen in a min. It was nice to have that time because there was silence when we sat and got our food. We were hungry. One thing I will say, they took away the bowls of olives. I mean I was probably the only one that looked forward to them, so I get it. But holla at me if you feel the same way. Until next year Carvalhos

    I was really excited about trying this spot since it was recommended by a friend…read more The big plus is that they have a private parking lot. They do not take reservations on the weekends so be prepared to wait 35-40 minutes for a table since it tends to get packed in the evening. They do have a big bar to have a drink and wait in the meantime. The staff is very friendly and attentive which I loved, they made sure our table was clean and our drinks were filled. Now the food, their appetizers that they bring to the table were just ok; the sweet plantains, rice and beans were pretty good. The French fries were undercooked which no one at the table touched. The salad could have used a little more color but the dressing was really good. The meats themselves were good but could better. I really enjoyed their picanha; it was cooked a perfectly medium. It was juicy and flavorful. The chicken legs and turkey wrapped in bacon were so delicious and well seasoned. When it came to the skirt steak, short ribs and other cuts of meat, I felt like they were on the drier side and not as tasty. They never asked how we liked it cooked (medium or well done) so we just got whichever temperature they were served. I was also disappointed they didn't have chicken hearts since I always look forward to those when I go to a rodizio. Each person rodizio is $54 which is definitely on the higher end and the prices on their website are outdated. I would probably not return; there are more affordable rodizio with higher end cuts.

    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.

We tried all the empanadas : chicken, beef, and spinach-cheese and they were excellent. Super-flaky and big and tasted great. We also got the beef short ribs and they were tender the way i needed. The bbq chicken and pork rib combo is another great dish. The Pork cubes dish has plenty of chorizo with loin chunks and sauteed veggies. Everything came with a brocolli, cauliflower and carrot medly that was cooked perfectly. I hate overcooked veg, and these were just right. The rice side dish was large and fluffy and I kept going back for more of the black beans side. This place is worth a return, the standouts being the garlic chicken and crispy empanadas.
