I have been looking forward to trying this restaurant based on other reviews and had the…read moreopportunity to try it for lunch today. My friend and I ordered the Portuguese steak sandwich that came with fries to go and took it to the local beach less than 2 minutes away from the restaurant. Contrary to other reviews I found the food lacking in all flavor and extremely dry. Being Portuguese, I grew up with the cuisine and garlic is a staple especially when it comes to Portuguese steak. I could not even taste it. That steak should have slapped you with garlic and there was nothing. There was zero salt, pepper, NOTHING! The only thing with flavor was the pickled red pepper because it comes already in pickle juice and the sandwich had one pepper. My other issue with the meal was the fact that the steak was extremely dry to the point I had difficulty swallowing it. The fries were also a disappointment usually served on the sandwich with a brow garlic gravy, these fries were served plain on the side. Again no salt and tasted fishy so they definitely were frying fish in the same oil. Seeing I don't like fish, I was not impressed. While the restaurant is nice, I cannot say anything about the service because we grabbed and went. Unfortunately, I will not be going back. There are plenty of other good Portuguese restaurants in the area that will fulfill the want for Portuguese food. I really wanted this to be good with the proximity to the beach but it just wasn't.

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 Providence location has a market as well with chips, sodas, spices, and frozen items for purchase. You can also buy fresh seafood like crabs or fish in the market. They have several menu items. I always get the half chicken with fries. It's topped with a delicious hot sauce, garlic, cilantro, and banana peppers. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. There is nothing like it around! The fries are seasoned perfectly. I tried the fried tilapia fish for the first time tonight and it was perfectly cooked and came with a white sauce, cabbage, cilantro, and banana peppers but the chicken is still my favorite. They did a great job on the renovation in Providence and the place looks brand new. You can tell the layout was thoughtfully designed. A great family fun restaurant. Love seeing the business grow!
