The restaurant is away from tourist neighbor. But I suspect its target customers are tourists…read more They play American pop music all night long which is fine with me, but if you are looking for a local experience, this may not what you expected. Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.

I got lucky with no reservations and was able to squeeze in at a back table. The place is narrow but they make use of the space. Menu items are mostly tapas style with some sandwiches and soup. Such a lovely experience listening to them sing Fado music. 2 guitarists to the side and one singer at a time with the lights dim. It felt as if they welcomed me into their home inside their living room. Such an amazing experience.

It's very small so reservations are best, otherwise you have to wait until spaces open up past 9pm. There's no full menu just tapas, but they are filling! I got a ham & cheese sandwich -- it was grilled and SO delicious. I also got a Caipirinha. Everything is reasonably priced. Now for the music -- the show was great! A few "surprises" along the way, but literally everyone at the bar could sing. They do sets and take 15 minute breaks in between, for themselves and also customers who come & go. I left around 10 so not sure how long they are open. Depending on when you leave, a little patience to get your bill is surely appreciated.

The codfish dumpling fusion was a pleasant surprise, creamy on the inside and a nice chewy gyoza wrapper. The octopus rice was good too. A decent amount of octopus with rice in a smoked bell pepper sauce. I was disappointed by the seafood pasta soup though. I liked the mussels, but the shrimp and the clams weren't the freshest. The clams were a little mushy. It had a nice seafood stock flavor, but definitely could have used more salt and seasoning. We had mixed service from one of the female servers.
