But the food was a bit of a let down. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out over cooked. It wasn't burnt or anything but it was closer to well done than medium rare. My wife ordered the grilled octopus. It had a weird consistency throughout. The edges did have some nice charring to it though. I wanted to avoid going to a chain restaurant but you're better off going to one of the chains and skipping this place.

After reading the other low star reviews, I'm almost waiting in anticipating for the owner's…read moreresponse. You have to call ahead for reservations, it appears the locals love this place and its easy to understand why, if you're from the area the hostess seems to know everyone on a first name basis and they all get along (staff and patrons) quite well. With our greeting however, not so much. As soon as we arrived, before even stating our name the hostess told us we were late for our reservation, when in fact we were ten minutes early. When we were finally seated, it was next to a giant spider web. We'd asked to switch seats but were told they were fully booked (understood to not switch seats, but a giant spider web should be removed from the seating area). At each table, without asking they place a giant bottle of water (will get back to that later) so we poured 2 glasses for ourselves. Facebook photos showed an expensive surf n turf dish which was served on a black platter, we pointed this out to the waitress and asked if we could be served this dish exactly like the photo (on the platter), was told yes but we received the dish on a white plate. Not that big of a deal if it were say a burger or sandwich, but as this dish alone was over $50 it was a disappointment. Both the chicken and lobster were overcooked, and when we got the bill we realized the water bottle was $5.

The interior and the diner setup with the food displayed in front also adds a very homey feel inside the restaurant. The operators just need to always ensure that the food is always heated up before serving. The meat was very saucy, spicy, and savoury. Fried rice also goes paired well with most orders. The food may come off as a little oily for some, but that is just how I believe the dish is actually intended. I also really appreciate the front counter staff who was very patient taking my order. I had to spend quite a bit more time because the pricing showing in the menu was already up compared to the publicly posted photos available on Google Maps.

I was craving for the shrimp patties and the only good ones were usually downtown. I found Galina's Bbq via Yelp, so I knew I had to get some to try. I got the whole chicken dinner and I was AMAZED at the portions! For under $50, they legit packed the rice and potatoes to the top! Everything was super tasty but the shrimp patties could had been better if I reheated it in the oven. The chicken was super moist and the potatoes were so delicious. The rice was a bit too salty though. Service was great; the waitress told me her aunt opened this restaurant more than 10 years ago. The restaurant was clean and spacious, but definitely not super big. I would definitely come back for more!!

We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday, the dining area was empty so we got to pick of tables. We ordered two appetizers, three entrees and a drink. The meal started out well, with some bread, butter and preserved olives. It was lovely to have something to nibble on while waiting. 30 min later, the appetizer of chirizo sausage arrived. It was set alight table side, and we enjoyed the crispy hot sausage. Unfortunately, it took another 30min for our entrees to arrive. My chicken dinner was not even warm, the veggies were overcooked and cold. The only thing hot on my plate was the potatoes, which were delicious. After such a long wait, it was disappointing to be served cold food. Also, our second appetizer never came and we had to remind the waiter not to bill us for it.

Besides bread you get black & green olives to snack on. Surf and turf came with steak, 1 large prawn (given its size, it wasn't shrimp) & clams. The sauce for all 3 was a rather unusual spice blend that was pretty tasty & the prawn was pretty fresh. The chips the dish came with were greasy & not crispy though. Minho style codfish is fried. We had the grilled codfish. It was huge. It was so-so, though on the firm side & it was very hard the next day. Their desserts are cheap. The pudding is home made, but custard from heaven isn't. The pudding was dense & eggy, but had a very strong burnt, bitter taste, especially the bottom, which was black. The server said it was due to lemon zest, but it seems someone put way too much.

I had their Bifana sandwich, a Portuguese style grilled pork with caramelized onions on a fresh bun. It was a rustic sandwich with good flavour. My friend had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and that looked and tasted good. Of course, we couldn't be in a pastry shop without trying their delicious looking pastries. A pineapple topped bun caught my eye with its bright yellow colour. It was delicious and I ate the whole thing! My companion had a selection of pastries, mostly chosen by her young daughter. They were good, too! Tina's Portuguese Cuisine shares the space with them, offering more substantial meals. They specialize in Portuguese chicken and other favourites, with catering available. My friend tried their Shepherd's Pie. It was a generous serving that resulted in leftovers. While I usually prefer a more substantial meal for lunch, this food was good. I'll definitely come back for their fresh breads and pastries!

My friend suggested visiting Caldense as we were in the neighbourhood and it was a good experience! I got the Chicken Caesar Wrap, some pastries, and my friend got a pork sandwich and pineapple square. The wrap was pretty tasty, loaded with ingredients, but slightly too oily for my preference. The wrapper was similar to a thin pita, it was small and barely wrapped around all the ingredients. It was under $10 (I believe $7.50+tax) and well worth the price! Some of the treats we got were unmarked with no name or price to go with them. We ended up getting a macaron (birthday cake), lemon tart, double chocolate square, and a nutella lobster tail. They were not mind-blowing but still pretty decent. The bakery is cozy with a few tables to eat in, but it was split with another restaurant! It wasnt easily distinguishable and was quite confusing came time to order as it was our first time visiting. The left side is for Caldense, and the right side served Portuguese food. After ordering, there was no number or ticket, but they called out the order. We sat on the other side and I didn't hear it, but they came around to where we sat, very considerate as I was taking care of my young daughter as she was already eating her own food.
