    Fresh seafood and reasonable prices. Settled on a hilly street . Make sure to try the octopus…read moresalad for a real treat . Good service and fresh food make this place worth a try

    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.

    We chose Brilhante to celebrate our wedding anniversary, expecting an upscale dining experience…read morethat would match the restaurant's reputation. Unfortunately, the evening was a complete disappointment. To start, we ordered scallops with a lemongrass emulsion. There was absolutely no trace of lemongrass in the dish, which made it feel poorly executed and misleading from the very beginning. For the main course, we specifically booked the restaurant looking forward to the beef Wellington to share. To our astonishment, we were told it had run out. This might be understandable if you are in a cheap joint asking for the "dish of the day," but it is simply unacceptable in a restaurant that positions itself as upscale. Ironically, I then ordered what appears to be one of their flagship dishes--a "marble steak" with a fried egg on top--which turned out to be a complete failure. While the meat itself was cooked to the right point, it was surprisingly difficult to cut--even with a steak knife--which raises questions about the quality of the cut if this is meant to be a sirloin. The sauce was very poorly executed, and the fried egg on top was greasy and overcooked, bringing the whole dish down. The issues didn't stop there. The wine list on their website is not up to date, and the wine we intended to order was no longer available. This lack of accuracy adds to the overall sense of disorganization. To make matters worse, we were charged for the couvert that we didn't even touch--something that feels inappropriate given the already disappointing experience. At that point, we were so let down that we chose to pay the bill and leave, skipping dessert altogether. Aside from the decor and the table we were assigned, which were the only positive aspects, the experience was extremely poor. Based on this visit, I would rate it 2 out of 5 and would not recommend it.
