We loved it! Lively atmosphere (due to baby shower party going on in large dining room), so didn't mind the simple smaller back room where we dined. We started with a nice pitcher of red sangria for our table of 5. Although we were a little shocked at the $50 sticker price when we got the bill, I guess it was not too badly priced since we all got at least 2 glasses out of it (50/9=5.556 per glass). As for the food, we started with the caldo verde soup, which we were familiar with from our trip to Portugal. Excellent! Maybe the best I ever had. Our second appetizer was the mussels vinaigrette, which was very good. For the main course, we shared the shell steak marinheira, which was a pleasant surprise. Expecting a modest piece of beef, it was actually a nice thick juicy cut, topped with mussels, small scallops, shrimp, etc. Delicious. Finishing things off, our table shared a piece of flan and cheesecake, both very good. We were hoping for Pasteis de Nata, but unfortunately not on the menu. All told, total bill for our table of 5 was roughly $250. The service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommended for a genuine warm Portuguese experience! read more

A small family dinner @lusiadasrestaurant , look at the size of these plates! Food was delicious, however, do expect to pay a little more than usual, at least you get lunch and dinner for the next day * Parking is across the street, and if you haven't been there before there is a main entrance that leads you to the massive bar! From there they have two rooms, the day we went one was being used for a sweet 16, the other had a small party as well. We sat next to the smaller party, basically crashed their "event" however we were made to feel welcomed which is important. * Due to how busy it can be maybe call prior to going to see if there is seating available or even make a table reservation! read more

Birthday dinner ruined, was so excited to try this place. Whatever you do don't order via an online app, apparently they have no access to it. You will just lose your money. We placed an order and when we arrive for pick up, they had no idea what we were talking about and meanwhile, we can't get our money back. read more

I stopped by Lusitania Seafood after a show at the Planetarium of the Hudson River Museum and I'm glad I did. Lusitania may not be on the headlines, but this Portuguese restaurant is highly priced by the locals and it shows. You walk in and walk by the bar on your left with a number of men watching the soccer games. People are speaking Portuguese and Spanish here. It's an authentic crowd here. Keep walking further back past the restroom and you'll see a dining room ahead and another down and to the left. The decor is simple. This is a straight up place that does not emphasize the atmosphere, but keeps it simple and focused on the food. Things will be fairly priced and, for what you get, they were. Jocelyn, my server, was great the whole time. I ordered the sangria, which does not appear on the menu. They can make a large or small pitcher of sangria, red or white, for you and it is filled with fruit, apples and oranges, diced up. They use a quality red wine for their sangria and lots of diced fruit. It makes for a quality sangria experience at Lusitania not found everywhere. Sangria is often an afterthought and many restaurants and bars do not take the time to make a proper Sangria. Jocelyn brought me a glass of ice water with a slice of lemon without me having to ask. I ordered the sizzling steak on a stone and the Mozambique prawns. I ordered the fries to accompany the steak and rice and vegetables with the prawns. The bread Jocelyn brought out is incredible. It's some type of Portuguese bread, white, thick slices, and very much like sourdough, but apparently it is not. Whatever Portuguese bread it is, you will like it. The butter is nothing special, the kind of butter in plastic squares with a film you peel back served in diners everywhere. On the bread theory serve at Lusitania, the butter tastes better. The steak and shrimp came out together as I asked. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out sizzling hot. The flat stone will keep cooking the steak, so you are advised to take it off the stone and put it on a side plate to avoid over cooking it, which I did and later returned it to the dark flat stone to warm it and allow for reaching a true medium rare. When it comes out, it has only been flash seared, so you can decide what temperature you desire. The steak, a thick sirloin that would be priced around seventy at a steakhouse, is coming in under thirty here. It's not as tender as a steakhouse, but it is flavorful. The flavor is not relying on salt. The quality and tenderness is not at steakhouse level, given I doubt if there is any wet or dry ageing at Lusitania, but the flavor is coming through. They serve the steak with three sauces, horseradish, garlic and herb, and some type of spicy mayonnaise sauce. The fries were fresh cut and very good. The Mozambique prawns were huge as they should be. They serve three prawns with a large cup of sauce that had butter, garlic, and cayenne pepper as best I can tell. Perhaps a little paprika too. It's a very impressive dish. The shells are pre sliced, so you can manage to eat them with a knife and fork. Dipped in that sauce, your palate is very happy. The rice and carrots, string beans and broccoli are not overcooked. The veggies are cooked with a little garlic. The red sangria was a perfect accompaniment to the prawns and steak. The next day, the leftovers were delicious. Jocelyn had thoughtfully packed the sauces and I'm glad she did. I spread the butter on the spread and then spread the garlic sauce accompanying the steak on top! Folks, do this and thank me later! That steak was still good and everything tasted as good as the evening before. When I walked out of Lusitania, I had met Jocelyn's sister, I had met the couple next to me and another person across from me who does a lot of fishing on his own. I even met the owner, Jose, on the way out. Lusitania Seafood is a special place and well known by the locals. Everyone I met was a regular. Lusitania Seafood will make a regular out of anyone who comes for the first time as I. read more

Amazing food and service! Staff is really friendly and considerate! Highly recommend this place to others!

Good tasting food. I encourage you to get it done with the puppies in church and construction

I have no idea what happened to this establishment. I've been eating there for over 25 years, but lately I have no idea what happened!! The steak and paella used to be meals I looked forward to, but the last 3 times I"ve eaten there have been awful! It almost seems as though there's a new chef, but I don't know for sure, all I know is that I won't be going back... read more

I wanted to surprise my wife for dinner, so I decided to try a new restaurant. I discovered Lusitania here on Yelp being that I was in the mood for paella, and this place didn't disappoint. The paella was delicious and plentiful, especially with their house sangria. Our server informed me that she made the sangria as she poured me a nice glassful. We had their delicious fried calamari as an appetizer, but their paella was so delicious and plentiful, we wound up taking home a nice size take out bag. We'll definitely be coming back with friends as their menu looks appealing with Portuguese favorites. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 due to their out dated 1970's decor, but that will not stop me from going their again with either my wife or friends. read more

Lusitania Seafood Restaurant - Seafood Paelha Marinheira - Bars Near Me - Yonkers, New York

I don't remember being to Yonkers but with my happy feet I may have, before my Yelp days. Anyhow, Lusitania (Portuguese) Restaurant is apparently a Yonkers community secret. There's a sign on the front Street which I absolutely missed and only noticed as I looked for one when I was leaving. I was escorted to the side (red) door and I kid you not, I thought some type of mafia ish was about to go down! Hey what's happening I ain't strapped! Inside there's a bar to the left and the dining area on the right. We chose to dine because we were here to celebrate. The dining room is super small! Small so that you hear everything that everyone else is saying, you and that stranger's elbow touching. I didn't like that much as I'm super private and borderline germaphobe-ish. I think the couple next to us weren't fans either because after they whispered their order they said nothing else for the rest of the evening. Nothing. They did however exchange smiles with each other.  I didn't count but it looked to be about 8/10 tables in there. I heard the food was out if this world good so I was really looking forward. We had the seafood paella which I kid you not had more seafood than rice! All that wonderful shellfish made me squirm with delight! We also ordered a steak. It comes slightly pre-cooked on a portable grill so you get to finish it to your taste/texture. The best part about this was the sauces! Three of them were served with our meat and there was one particular with garlic and other seasonings that was so good I was putting it on everything! The house wine tasted a bit off. The food is reasonable to the point of cheap! I enjoyed the food but it didn't meet the expectation set. I hate when that happens. I'll try again. Maybe a lamb dish next time because the neighbor's looked so good.....I wonder. The End. read more

Lusitania Seafood Restaurant - clams in broth - Bars Near Me - Yonkers, New York

We were excited to try this Portuguese "Seafood" restaurant. I ordered the stuffed lobster. The stuffing was fine, but the lobster was totally rotten! It was black with dried up rotten meat and large holes in the crumbling shell. It looked like lobster cancer. The owner apologized but said that "it happens when you keep the lobsters in the refrigerator for a few days." Really?? The owner said, "We got lobsters fresh on Thursday, and we kept them in the refrigerator since then." - Well, tonight is Sunday- 3.5 days later! No wonder they were rotten, and: 1) why didn't the 'chef' notice that the lobster was rotten? It was pretty damn obvious! What a horrible chef! 2) How can a restaurant that boasts to be about seafood serve 3.5 day old dead lobsters and defend their freshness!! They're not; they've been dead for almost 4 days before they were served. I wasn't going to write this review, but I decided to, because I think it is disgraceful to serve OLD rotten seafood in a place that promotes itself as a seafood establishment! The seafood should be 100% fresh & lobsters should be alive until cooked! - I left there thoroughly nauseous! Yes. The owner was very nice and didn't make us pay for our meal, but shame on him for thinking that it's okay to serve nearly 4-day old dead lobster! I guess there's a reason why there's not a single positive restaurant endorsement on the face of this restaurant: NO Zagat, NO Best of Westchester, NO nothing!! Eat at your own risk! read more

Great food. Excellent service. Do you want to eat real Portugués food come here. Great see food. The best stakes!

I decided to cater food from here for our Christmas Eve dinner. Jose the owner dealt with me directly and I was more than pleased. I ordered a variety of seafood dishes and all were delicious. The Portuguese breads were delicious, the chourico great and the Paella was perfect. This is a wonderful place and one of the few Portuguese places in Westchester. Businesses like this need to stay in business and be supported through the pandemic and beyond. If you're craving great Portuguese food and don't want to travel to Jersey, come to Lusitania's restaurant! read more

Authentic Portuguese food. Crazy hole in the wall local spot for those of us who always look local when we travel. The patrons are very helpful describing the best meal of the day. It's not five star ritz. It's five star people and food. If you like food and love an experience, go there. Every one of my friends have loved the atmosphere and the food. Joe the owner is always there and his staff will go out of their way to make sure you have an amazing experience. Plus, if you like soccer, there is always a game on. read more

3 stars as far as Portuguese restaurants go, 4 stars for Yonkers because let's face it, there aren't that many of these restaurants around these days. Lusitania leads a double life. On the left side of the building, there's the main restaurant, which occasionally has a special event, and I think there might be a buffet on one of the weekend nights (there used to be, call before you go there looking for it). On the right side of the building is the bar, where you will find mostly blue-collar Portuguese men, drinking beer and wine, flirting with the hispanic waitresses who end up speaking a variant of Portuguese and Spanish closer to Gallego. Compared to the sorry excuse for Portuguese food I've found in San Jose CA, this place rocks. I know Newark is so much better, but again, for Yonkers, this place does just fine. Oh - if you read my review for Caravela, you saw that Carne de Porco a Alentejana is $25 there. At Lusitania, it's $15. Nuff said. read more

Lusitania is a Portuguese restaurant located on Lockwood in Yonkers. The way the food was presented was great and it tasted even better! I had ordered a steak and it came severed sizzling on a super hot rock! We were also served rice with beans and French fries on the side. The restaurant has a good presentation, red and white table cloths with one red and one red white napkin. Definitely worth coming! read more

The worst place ever.... my husband took me to Thai horrible place for our anniversary. Isn't he beginning was ok but than as he poured HHS's eaten n in his SO CALLED WINE GLASS, he's saw a dead fly , ignored. Than waitress brought food, my husband plate was full of onions and whole potatoes and so called COD fish was burrow Ed under there. I ordered a shrimp scampi,(mind that, I had it previously as well) my whole plate was only filled with spaghetti pasta and exactly 10 shrimp in it with 6 olives . Turning point was RATS ON TOP OF US RUNNING AROUND and that's as it . Would never recommend this place to anyone. I wosh j in would know where to complain for This shitty place . read more

I just left this restaurant and feel compelled to write this very negative review. We went to dinner tonight with our two kids and another family (2 adults and 2 kids). The waitress came quickly and asked for our drink order (there was no drink menu - nothing with options or prices). We asked for a bottle of house white wine. The waitress brought us a bottle and 2 (1 1/2l) bottles of water. We ordered our food (appetizers and entrees) and by the middle of dinner ordered a second bottle of wine. The food was fine. Edible but not spectacular. When the bill arrived we were very surprised - it was almost $400! We started itemizing and realized we were charged $18 for each bottle of water. When we questioned the waitress she said "yes - the water is $18 per bottle". When we balked she said she would go double check. After a bit she came back and said "sorry - it was actually $7 per bottle." The whole thing felt very shady and like a big rip off. When we looked up the house wine and it retails for $2-5/bottle and they charged us $25 per bottle. We understand that restaurants do a mark up but 6x is excessive. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. read more

This restaurant is on my "will be back" list. They serve fine seafood at a reasonable price. There is meat and fowl on the menu but the seafood is TOPS. I asked for a sangria which was not on the menu and the server had it made for me . It was a delicious sangria. I had the Swordfish which came with shrimp and scallops in a light red sauce. My friend had the the red snapper. Both came with boiled potatoes and vegetables. We really enjoyed our meals. read more

I went there with my wife son and daughter. My son and I order the seafood paella for two; it was bland and tasteless. Too much rice in proportion to the other seafood ingredients. My wife ordered steaks but she informs me it was nothing special. The chef needs to learn about portion control. As far as the ambiance, this place looks like a cafeteria. The owner needs to invest in a serious renovation to overall the lighting and provide a cozier atmosphere conducive to eating and entertaining. I do not know who is giving four and five stars. I guess family and friends. read more

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant on a snowy, but pretty night. We ordered a seafood appetizer that had mussels, shrimp, and scallops in red sauce. It unfortunately tased like underseasoned, canned tomato sauce and the shrimp and scallops were TINY! Literally, the circumference of the scallops were about the circumference of my middle finger- I didn't even know they came that small and I'm sure it was all frozen. I ordered a paella marinara for myself and it had much more of the same problem- tiny shrimp and scallops but a TON of rice. My boyfriend ordered the bacalao and he said he enjoyed it very much. We almost made it to enjoy the dessert and coffee, but they started blasting bachata in a Portuguese restaurant. I wouldn't give it another shot. read more
